Who decided on Winter anyway?

*Yawn*

Oh hi, didn't see you there. Give me a minute.

There we go, just had to get a few things off my back.

The winter malaise has hit and hit hard, blanketing me in a precipitous build up of not wanting to do anything and an amazing urge to hide under anything I find and never coming out til the first sign of a robin not frozen solid to the pavement (assuming we ever see pavement again).

I've got a good two paintings sketched out but just can't get the urge to actually pull out my paints and have a go at it (it's strange just how taxing painting can be, it's a pretty big mental workout sometimes as my brain says okay keep the hand steady and calm while also deciding just what shade of color I should use where and what looks stupid. Or I may have one of those brains that can't figure out how socks work.).

Then there's the soap idea. We have all the components to make them. I just have to take lots of pretty pictures, get them all edited so they look appetizing and then list it to finish the shop.

But the Sloth Demon of winter pulls on my sleeves saying "Oh it's much too cold for all that, why not just go curl up in the corner with the puppy and rest."

Curse you evil Winter Sloth Demon!

I did however get out one new pendant at the end of last week which some of you may enjoy and some of you may run screaming from the room babbling about making the white go away. That's perfectly normal.

AHHHHHH!!!!! WHITE! SNOW! EVIL! RUNNNN!!

Oh yes, today is also the last final no more end chance to enter for the iPod shuffle. Then Mr. Random Number Generator will pick the winner (or maybe I'll actually get a hat, no one does that anymore). So tomorrow will be the winner announcement and I'll probably also share some good laughs about that contest that entertained me to no end last week.

For now I'm off to curl up in a warm couch with a cup of hot magazine. *yawn* I'll just fight off the Winter Sloth Demon tomorrow, the weekend by the latest.

Zzzzzzzz
