When you're high on life...

I've never taken hard drugs, but I imagine they would have a certain delivery, like feeling you could do anything and not have to come up for air. That's kind of how I was yesterday, and I honestly don't know why!

I sewed up a cage set as soon as I got up -- 6 pieces in 1 hour. After that I cleaned the rat cage, wiped all the drop trays out, swept AND vacuumed the glider room floor, vacuumed the entire house, and took a shower. All between the hours of 1 and 5 PM. My aunt wanted us to go to church with her, so I did. I managed to shower, do my makeup and hair within an hour. Not even, really.

I didn't have as much to do today, mainly because I did it all yesterday. I sewed another set today that a lady wanted last night, so I didn't even have to advertise it. Some other girl is buying a different cage set that I'll sew Wednesday. I ended up cutting it out today, as well as one for Doug. LaVaughn and I decided to give it to him, mainly because he was with us the day we got it at Joann's and completely gushed over it. We're soft like that. And he does happen to be my bestie, so ya know.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE fall and the fact that time went back an hour over the weekend? I've always been a huge fan of "slow time". I'm a night owl, so of course I love the fact that it gets dark just after 5 now. You can tell that I'm running out of things to say.

Like I said, I haven't really done much of anything today. I sewed and cut some, but that's about it. I did take some really nice pictures of the sunset/lake/yard a little while ago. It's better than just taking a picture of the cage set yesterday. I guess I will leave you with that.

Love & Peace

And Una, of course.

I have a love/hate relationship with these pictures.

Happy Halloween 2015!

Well things did NOT go as planned today. Nothing bad happened, no worries there, just nothing that we planned took place, aside from stopping by Angie's to give her kids their treat bags. Between you and me, I think their bags were a waste. Aside from Rose saying thank you, they just seemed whatever about it. We put a lot of crap in those bags and didn't really get anything back. Cody had a grocery store bag full of candy that he appeared to hide beside the recliner in the living room. It was all very odd.

They also had guests over, which made the entire thing even more awkward.

We had planned on going to Thee Abbey after for their candle lit "haunted house tour". Come to find out it wasn't haunted at all. It was JUST a tour of the place. The same tour they have all year around. The only thing that made it different was the fact that it was at night and by candle light. And did I mention that the tickets were $15 per person for less than an hour?! Yeah, no thank you! We quickly decided against it and headed to the store.

We got sidetracked in the store and started looking at Christmas decorations. You can imagine how odd we looked. We were probably the only two people in the country that were buying Christmas decorations on Halloween. We're weird like that, so it works.

We found SO many red and green things to match our theme this year. Ugh, it's so exciting! I wanted to buy one of everything, but we thought they might put different stuff out closer to Christmas. We also wanted to try out other stores, so we limited ourselves to just a handful of things. It's definitely safe to say I can't WAIT to decorate this year!

I know this is odd, but we also found holiday flavored dum dums at the store. HOLIDAY flavored! Like ginger bread and sugar cookie! How awesome is that?? I know, I'm still a child at heart that gets excited over candy, so what. Well I guess that's all for now, time to watch The Gallows!

Check out all of the AWESOME Christmas decorations we scored today!

I especially love the little Santa up front.

Faith, Peace, and Hope.

Santa and a couple trees (these did not come together).

Ho ho ho train. No pun intended.

And a noel train.

Some red and green candy cane ornaments.

Holiday Dum Dums.

And lastly, Una watching The Green Inferno with me.

Until my fingers bleed...

I have cut out SO many cage sets today. I think I've done 6 now? I don't know, but that's close to 50 individual pieces, not to mention dozens upon dozens of tabs! Each item has at least 2-4 tabs, so you can imagine. O.o Now if only I had time to sew them all today. I'm aiming for Sunday, because we're planing on going out tomorrow. IF that happens, you never know about us.

Laci received her sets and pouches today. She loved them, thankfully. She's already talking to me about ordering 3 more 8 piece cage sets. I really hope she does, we could use the extra money right about now.

Have I mentioned that we're doing Christmas now? My aunt didn't really want to do anything this year because of their situation with my uncle's work. He's apparently put thousands into his truck already this year -- no fun. Well she talked to us about it Wednesday and said that she would like to if we were able. We, of course, agreed to it. After all, we did get all those awesome Christmas decorations the day after Christmas last year. We haven't done a themed tree since I was probably 10. It's so exciting to be doing one on our own this year. Well, not really on our own, but close.

I have to admit, I've been bummed for weeks now that we weren't planing on doing anything. I honestly don't care about gifts, it's the tree, decorations, and the festive feeling that you get when you're looking at all of your decorations, lights and so on that I love! But my aunt is the type of person that will not have a tree if there are no gifts under it. She won't even put up decorations, she things it's too sad and depressing. I mean, I guess I can relate, so there's never an argument about it.

So as of now, Christmas is back on!

I'm so unbelievably full right now. I made Indian fry bread for dinner, sigh... Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, it's just such a filling meal. The bread like triples in size in your stomach. I walked around outside with the cats and my aunt's dog for a while earlier and took some very odd pictures. Mainly of the cats, but some surrounding areas as well. Those will be featured below.

Have I mentioned that our hens outweigh our drakes?
