Pretty little fingers

So I have taken off the acrylic to give my nails some air this month. Also to save the dollars I would spend on the upkeep of them for Christmas gifts or gift. Aww I'm so nice, thinking of others instead of myself. So back to me, since I am without my nail artist I needed to reconnect with my artist inside and come up with super cute top coats myself. Thankfully I have been preparing for such an event by pinning every cute nail picture I run across. My board is the Whimsy Claw (I thought it was a cute and funny name for the board) you are welcome to go take a look. Anyways so first thing first its Christmas time and I remembered pinning a picture of a red and white polka-dot combo. So without looking at my pin I decided to give it a whirl. The Pinned picture shows one hand holding red nail polish. It has 2 nails that are white with red polka dots and 2 red with white polka dots.

I'm assuming they went ever other nail. 

And this is my attempt.

So needless to say I did not do it this way. Should have took a peek at the pin before I started. So I did the right color combo but only had 1 white with red polka dot nail. Hey they were still cute for the 2 days they lasted. No I have a Green and teal combo going on. I made this up myself. Its Lime green Crackle polish and a teal polish underneath. 

Hulk type nails I guess. 

I don't really like it but I will rock it for a few days before I try something else. I will also try to keep you posted. 

Are you serious?

There is a city in California that has been blessed with a name I think my niece came up with. I'm sure it may be a very nice city and the people who named it may have a valid reason. My hope is that the reason is not "Since we are in California and it is next to Mexico, we should name it Calexico!" Because that would just be...well I don't want to offend anyone. 

Hey its a name of a band too. But the band is not from the city, nor CA or Mexico, they are from AZ and they just name the band after the bounder town for...no reason what so over, not even a giggle.

Just looked up the city and Wikipedia (thanks wiki) says that not only is Calexico such a cool name for a town that bounders Mexico and is in California. But it should not be alone, so its adjacent sister city should be called Mexicali....NICE!

Kitty Paws

My mother has recently decided to add a new member to the family. For more than 3 months she has been talking about getting a kitten and bugging the life out of me. Now 3 months ago I suggested that she check the Humane Society and Craigslist. However my mother fell prey to the bizarre rants of my brother and decided that Craigslist was a very bad place to go to for anything. Anything, including cute bait kittens owned by serial killers. He instructed advised her to never-ever go to this site. Additionally my mother also decided that she didn't want a adult cat and that all adult cats are fat. So yesterday when my mother opened the subject up again for discussion, she insisted that she didn't want a "Fat Cat".

Phone call goes as follows:

Mother: (on speaker phone) I don't want to wait for a kitten any more and Eddie's (my brother) friend, I don't know I don't think she would really bring the cats down. Why can't you talk to the people you work with and get me a kitty.

Me: annoyed sigh
(Having no ideal why my mother thinks I work with cat breeders or a rescue group. She knows I work at a call center and my circle of friends are not cat breeders.)

Husband: (listening to this exchange) Why don't you HELP HER.

Mother: Clarissa why are you not looking?  whining 

Me: This isn't my cat.

Mother: Come on! also whining

Me: Have you looked at the Humane Society? to husband  Can you go to the website? Hey they are even discounted the price for cats now!

Mother: Why didn't you tell me that?

Me: Just saw it on the news I don't know when. (By this time my husband has the site up and I'm looking at the discount information reading it to my mother)

Mother: But that is for the adult cats, I don't want a fat cat.

Me: Did you just call the cats "Fat Cats"?

Mother: Look for kittens.

My husband doesn't find any kittens on the site. So mom gets upset and starts really whining like no person over 6 should do. I finally point her to craigslist Lincoln and Omaha listings. And she finds a kitten she likes. I was force to drive to Omaha and go with her. No cute kitten owner who happens to be a serial killer is going to kill my mother. This was not the reason I was forced but I'm just going to pretend it was. So now the kitten is home and my mother is so excited. I'm happy this is over and now my mind can take a siesta.

Here is a Email sent by my mother about Yoyo (kitten weird
name) first night.My step-father's name is Martin. You know I think Martin for a pets name would be funny. Anyways here is the email.

Okay so you can go to my Pinterest page and follow me there by clicking here. Or since I'm on Pinterest I am actively twitting now. And you can find that page by clicking here.
So happy browsing the net, try not to get lost or caught in some kind of internet gang.

Thanks Pinterest for the invite.

Something else I want

Pretty Foot Tattoo!

Waiting...come on really...waiting

So I finally went to Pinterest and looked around for a little while. And I kinda like the spot and want to spend some time there. Meet the natives and take in a show or too. So as a browse around I find things I like, don't want to forget about, and want to keep. Know keep in mind since my arrival at this site a banner has been following my every move. Upon further inspection it seems to be say something to me. I stop and take notice to what it says a invite what? I have to be invited to this picture sharing community I have come to enjoy a little. Oh come on I have already went through this with +Google. Why god why. I just want to look at pretty things and be inspired to make my own pretty things. You know what this is ridiculous and I am not happy. I don't need to be in your special community. I can "pin" stuff to my Twitter, +Google, Facebook, or even my Blog. So there Pinterest! I sent my request for a invite. Its just to much work to add all those pins to any of the other  sites.

Long time, blah blah... right so...

I'm sorry it has been awhile since I posted something. I am not a good Blogger. Here's the deal I have a hard time staying focus on something that it just about my thoughts. I compare it to listening to someone just talking and talking for who knows how long. And you know what is sad, really sad, basically I hate listen to myself talking haha. Just sad really. On another note.

Crafts I found today: 
Made: Roses are red...
I wouldn't do a whole bunch of these, but I did make one for my desk. Its nice and pink.


Totally going to make, promise: Baby Crocheted Tong Sandals
These are so cute, I flipped over the picture while at work. I even have an order for a pair of them already.

Wish I would do/make but I won't:: Cookie pan Chalkboard
It would make life just a bit simpler. And my husband could not say he forgot.

Where I have been the last month:
I have became totally addicted to comics. Not the super hero comics of yesteryear, but web-comics of today. So I have been hanging out in the back room of a few web-comic pages for the past month and need sunlight and air. Here are the addresses:
Explosm.net - Home of Cyanide & Happiness


Comics, Quizzes, and Stories - The Oatmeal


Edmund Finney's Quest to Find the Meaning of Life - A webcomic by Dan Long at EQComics

Invisible Bread -

thedoghousediaries.com
This is the newest site I am addicted to. I have a problem I just wish others would realize it and help.

Oh by the way Happy May Day! (nope not late...somewhere)

Year 30 of my existence

My birthday was December 1st but I have not really thought about it since sunset that day. IDK maybe it was because I was a newly wed that day and I didn't care about my age. I care today however. When did my knee start hurting when I climb the stair? IDK but it sucks...I don't like being 30 and thinking like a 22 year old. Don't like it at all.

And now my master piece.

Okay here it is. The Sock Wreath that is not really a sock wreath but I'm still calling it The Sock Wreath. Pretty right?!

Sock Wreath Done!

I did it. Worked on the sock wreath I told you about and it is so cute. It's hanging on our front door now. My husband says its nice too. Spent just under $10.00 to make it. Went to the Dollar store to get the wreath flower form, ribbon and the frame. Used a mirror that was in a frame I liked. Then I went to Walmart and brought some scrape pieces of material (I could not find any socks that I liked), and some pins. I put the whole thing together in 30 minutes and it is beautiful. I will upload a picture of it later. If I can only remember to take a dang picture.

I'm in a lovely mood today, Valentine's Day was wonderful, in spite of spending the day with the flu. My husband made it a special as he could since he had to work and I was sick all day. Spent the next 2 days recovering and the weekend with my husband. Sometimes I get to thinking (this can be a dangerous place for me) about what a life together will be like and I have a mini panic attack. A very small one. But then he comes back home or we really, really talk on the phone (not just hey and how is your day going?) and the world turns it self right side up again. I have always been a free floater, just doing my thing not really being chained to someone else (lol I mean that lightly). So I guess it sometimes gets to me. Just for a second, then I remember I love this man and I want to be here. And I am all better after that.

Its been....

OMG I need a big drum roll here. Its has been over 2 weeks tomorrow that I have stopped smoking. Just wanted to post that. Yeah ME!!!!

Depression hurts

I am fighting one of the worst depressions ever. And the worst part about it (my eyes start to water the second I start to think of it) my husband is going through his own depression too. Its quite sad that we entered our marriage depressed. We still love each other. At least that is the feeling I have about us. But this depression lies to both of us each and everyday. He has since moved into the new apartment with me- our apartment in the different city - and since than has not been able to find work here in Lincoln, NE. The money we spend on gas, makes us both a little sick and we don't want to start the marriage living in separate cities. So he has been trying to come home every night except lately he has been home more and not working at all. He just spent his whole Christmas vacation at the house when he wanted to catch up on hours at work. And since he is a CNA and it was Christmas, they didn't have hours to give. So he has been at home a lot and his depression is now making me depressed.

I was able to avoid it before, but now since the move is over it's harder to escape it. And when I am depressed I want to spend money. If I have a good amount of money to just do whatever I want with it (bills have been paid already, but I really don't want to add anymore problems to the problems we have already) I want to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND. OMG a kitchen table would be awesome right now and its a need right? RIGHT? Oh please say it is ALRIGHT! O.o
I feel a little crazy and my computer history may be the proof that I am. I have been to 3 online stores so far, www.happyplace.com, my twitter account (@NE1Cattywhompus you can totally follow me!), The Onion (that is proof alone), and Cyanide & Happiness. Cause I need a little happyness in my life too Will Smith!

If it wasn't for my mother, and The Bloggess I think I would be in a far worst place right now. My mother gave me great advice last night. Basically it was to get my butt back to my faith. Of course I never lost my faith, I was just blindsided by a 3.3 ton hippo pulling out in front me, while I was doing 60 mph. Basically I was never expecting this in the first year of marriage. And this is not all of it, I just can't bring myself to write it all down on this blog because it is a private pain. But as I have mentioned I have hope. Its small right now but is growing with each passing hour and day. My hope will soon knock depressions out of its spot. I just have to keep my head up and not visit to many crazy online sites or I might end up with something completely crazy that I just had to purchase. OMG I just thought about it, ITS CRAFT TIME! That always puts me in a good mood and I can make something out of cheap things. First project a Sock Wreath, I can't wait.
