To my blogger friends: I am still keeping up on your blogs, and I will comment and discuss as soon as I can cross a bit off of this HUGE to-do list! I haven't forgotten.

Until things come down, here's an episode of "Ashley Procrastinates":
(Late last night) I decided I wanted to try something different for breakfast the next morning. I combined cooked oatmeal, pumpkin, 1 egg white, apple pieces and cinnamon and turbinado sugar together in an oven-safe bowl. I let it sit overnight and baked at 350 for a while this morning. It was good, but it could have been better.. too dry for my liking. I will improve.

Since I was young(er), I've had this creative, arts-and-craft-y side to me that only comes out between the hours of 11p.m. and 6a.m. During those hours, I am best to clean the house, dance, re-organize my shoes (again), bake a new recipe, invent a recipe, sew, paint anything, do my taxes, etc... As a result, I've been staying up late to finish school, work or side projects... which leads me to "unleashing" my creative side.

I decided I didn't like the plain wood on this chair. Now, the colors may be hideous and the paint job less than fantastic, but I am known to have to let my creative juices (or purchasing juices..) flow NOW. I can't take a trip to the store! I have to do this NOW! So, the chair is now the color of the kitchen paint and the rails were born from leftover craft paints in a box.

At least it now looks better than it did!

Because I don't have enough random photos of my puppies...
Hope you all are doing well! I'll talk to you soon..!
