curious and Peculiar

well (not surprisingly) the husband CSI'd my Christmas card. 
not that I made it that difficult to find. He knows my password.
all i can do is shake my head...he just couldn't stand not knowing what it looked like!!! ha.


I'm almost finished reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. 
It's a little LionWitchWardrobe-y, a little Peter Pan-y with a just a slight macabre twist. They also put character pictures in there to delve you a little deeper- it's interesting. Not sure I'd like to be led like that so literally (or is it illustratively?) all the time but since this is the first i'm seeing of something like this - I LIKE IT!!

and so, i read a little about the #ShoutYourAbortion movement - the moniker is little off putting to me.
I don't need to know your business. You don't need to shout it. I support women's rights over their own bodies.
I'll look for facts/information, I'll vote, and perhaps donate...but I won't shout.

It's hard to hear for all the shouting going on already anyway...

holiday card sabatoge & morning traffic theatrics

50% off! so I just bought our Christmas cards on zazzle. No it's not too early..this is how i do. 
I didn't let Jamie see what i made though - I'm pretty sure he's not going to like what I did - he likes neat and conventional and pretty.
And I do too! but I like fun more and I'm sooo over boring/typical anything lately.
So I just made the card like how I wanted to and it made me happy!!!!
PLUS who am I if I don't get my husband riled up every once in a while (that makes me happy too)













annnd....I'm still thinking about what I saw sitting in traffic on my way in to work this morning.
I let a car into my lane and looked in the rearview mirror to see the lady in the car behind me throwing a huge temper tantrum in her car. Seriously, I thought her head was going to pop off. That or split open to show a demon coming out. 

I mean...I have no idea what's going on in her life right now...but even though I could tell she'd spent time on her hair and makeup - she just looked so haggard and... hateful. 
How awful to be that stressed out (especially at 8 in the morning) like that.

This was basically how my face looked just watching her for 5 minutes:









I finished reading Christina Lauren's Dark Wild Night - I liked it! I thought I'd like it more though? i like reading about nerd types - I just didn't get as character involved as the first two of the series.

All I ever really needed was a little spark

I had a blast on my girls/me weekend! jamie told me he "didn't know he was holding me back so much"..ha smh (such dramatics husbands have sometimes..).

Michael's is lovin me right now - I've made 3 trips there in the last few days. My calavera is looking so fun and sparkly though! AND yep I made a bit of a mess! It was grand.;0) 
Saw Bastard Executioner - wtf?! I mean, I don't mind brutality but I think it overshadowed the story here. next...
We went to a Ranger game. It was freaking hot...i'm over it. But they won...yay!
Saw Scorch Trials. (I need to go back and re-read the book...i've gotten it mixed up with all the other dystopian books I've read.)

And so I finally got round to reading KMMs Burned, I liked it I guess? it's like the Ghostwalker series though...I'm too far invested to not finish. I'm a Barrons fan but Mac is kinda eh,  I do want to know what happened to Dani though.

And now a little Brandon Rhyder cause why not! (plus I've got a "fire/sparks etc" theme going here apparently?) before back to work.
You come rolling in like gasoline, that's why there's never nothing left of me.
Cause you burn me.
