Did you know that TNT plays Angel at 4 AM?

Needless to say, very little sleep was had last night. Half of it was garden variety insomnia, half was the little dude beneath the cut on his wheel. A wheel that sounds eerily like a terribly loud coffee maker - our coffee maker to be exact.

I will probably be scarce on the interwub waves today, as there is a great deal of cleaning I need to do, plus some project stuff that I promised myself I'd be done with Monday. It is very much not Monday, as you can see. It's not so much that I've been procrastinating, it's just that the brain hasn't been cooperating. It can be a terribly contrary organ like that, refusing to buckle down and do what it needs to do. It would rather be contemplating outlandish scenarios and ways to built a better metaphorical mousetrap, I'm afraid. And dear old gray matter up there has always been stronger than anything else, and I find myself overpowered by its wants.

And of course, yesterday was Wednesday, and next to nothing that involves the computer gets done on Wednesday.

I've been using the body scrub I made, and so far it's doing wonderful things for my skin. The only problem I've been able to see is that when used in the bath as opposed to the shower, it leaves a bit of a mess in the tub after drainage. But it does wonders for the skin. Three days of using it, and already I've noticed a significant difference - skin's softer and more smooth and highly moisturized. If anyone on my Flist is interested in being a guinea pig, let me know!

Kind of not surprising, really. :D

Went to the square today and got the ink I need to dye my Lamika wig! Also got quite a bit of exercise, as it was ridiculously hot today.

I've found myself becoming very crafty lately. I'm throwing myself into DYI, and now I'm branching out to bath products. For once I'm going to need some willing guinea pigs to rub things on themselves rather than eat things. *eyes roommate and local friends* Mainly, I'm just trying every avenue to generate an income that I can. Salsas, jams, bath products, whatever. I may even get myself an Etsy page.

I'm also considering taking up knitting.

I really do wish we still used the trade system. I may not have cash, but I can make things! Ah well, here's hoping at least some of this stuff will be worth trading cash for.

WE HAS FOOD!

Good shopping day today! Very, very good shopping day today. We have plenty of food, which is wonderful, and I'm feeling far less panicky after talking to my folks. I'm just going to focus on my cooking and the house right now.

So today, I'm hitting the thrift stores I can hit within walking distance and scoping out the wares. We're looking for a long low bookshelf, seating of some kind for the yard, and decorative pieces. Or possibly I'll be walking to Tru Value to look for new knobs to replace the bathroom cabinet knobs with.* I don't know what yet, but I have A Project. I'm always happy when I have A Project.

So, speaking of The Project....

Designing on a very tight budget! What are your favorite tips and tricks? Obviously mine is as simple as 'thrift stores, thrift stores, thrift stores!' but I'm just curious as to other little things that can be done to make over a nice place into a stellar place. Because I'm going for stellar.

If I can't work like a normal person, fine. But I will be damned if I can't manage to cook restaurant quality food for Team Venture and keep a beautiful home. And eventually, once spring comes, I shall be a farmer.

We've got the soil for it, as we discovered yesterday. ;)

*I may also say 'fuck that for today' and get my hair done. I have to see what salons I can get to in the area, and if they're cheap.
