Read this book...

Let's Pretend This Never Happened

(A Mostly True Memoir)

Jenny Lawson

Now, I'm only on page 136, but I will write a review anyway. This book is awesome, and hilarious.  If you only read one book this year, read this one. You will laugh so hard you will pee your pants... or come close to it.

Now click on the link above, buy the book and read it. 

Or see if your local library has a copy.

(That's what I did.)

She also has a blog. Which is pretty hilarious as well.

Thursday's Chore: The Silverware drawer...

The spring cleaning bug finally bit me. I clean out the silverware drawer about once a year. Is that too much? Or not enough? So I took all the silverware out of the organizer thingy mo-bob. As I was cleaning it I was thinking, why do they make this things white? A better question is, Why did I buy a white one? I'm thinking it must have been a wedding present. 

I forgot to take a before picture. Trust me. You don't want to see that mess. After getting rid of a few utensils I never used, here is the end result.

After I cleaned the silverware/utensils drawers, I decided, what the hell. There's a sink full of dirty dishes. I might as well was them.

Then, I decided to clean the microwave.

The End.

Etsy... and Goals...

Right now, I'm at 870 sales. 870. Wow. I've been selling on Etsy for 4 years now. I still can't believe it. I've added a lot of new things in my shop over the past couple of years. My biggest seller this Christmas was coffee cup cozies. I sold 30 in about 2 weeks. I would have sold more, but I ran out of supplies. *Note to self: Do not run out of supplies.*

30 sales away from 900...

130 sales away from 1,000....

I made my goal this year of reaching 1,000 sales. I really hope I can achieve this goal. It would make me oh so happy and.....

......I might even pee my pants.
