FAVE ONE IN QUITE AWHILE

It was practically summer today. It's amazing how warm 33 degrees can feel after having those awful temps for the past couple of weeks. I even wore my short winter jacket and my ass didn't freeze off. I'll put it back in the closet for now because I think it's going to get cold again.

After I got out of work at noon I cleaned the house, and then we went hunting for a new couch. Mine is 12 years old, and the dogs have taken a real toll on it. I liked it when we bought it, but the fabric choice was not the wisest.  Right now we have it narrowed down to a couple so I'm crossing my fingers that we can buy one very soon.

Last night I finally got around to doing the water marble I've been threatening to do for the past couple of days. I'm happy to say it turned out pretty much how I had imagined it in my head.
Julep Bess, Studio M Lust water marble
I friggin' love it! I've spent a lot of time looking at my fingers today, and I'm in no hurry to take it off. I did have to test out a couple of different polishes to get two that worked, but Julep Bess and the Studio M Lust that I picked up at Meijer when we were downstate worked out perfectly.

Of course, photographing it was the usual nightmare that is purple, but I managed to capture it pretty well.

I'm not sure why, but I've never done a loopy one facing this direction before, and I think it's pretty damn cool.

On a completely unrelated topic, why is it that they make Peeps for Easter, Halloween ones and Christmas ones but apparently don't think Valentine's Day is worthy of its own Peeps? I'm just dying for some of that marshmallowy delightfulness and am very disappointed that they don't seem to make them. And I don't want those stupid mini's that are flavored. I want old-school, original Peeps flavor.

It's making me sad. I want what I want when I want it, dammit. So I'm calling bullshit, Peeps!

    1. Well, that's just peachy. I thought I remembered heart shaped ones last year, white with little pink flecks on them. Maybe I'll check at Walgreens. Shopko and Walmart haven't got them.

    2. Yup. I knew I remembered them. The website shows the white ones, but they are vanilla flavored.
