Finally out of my Funk

I am now partly convinced that carbs make me stupid and depressed.  After two days of a low-carb diet I can finally say I don't feel like crawling into a hole and can think a little more clearly.  Plus I've lost 2 pounds. 

So PLEASE someone remind me when I have a carb craving that they make me CRAZY! 

I have, however, been having insane dreams for the past 3 nights and could possibly have sleepwalked last night.  I woke up wearing different pants than what I went to bed wearing, one of my earrings is missing, and the bottle of water I had on my nightstand when I went to bed made its way to the refrigerator.  IDK.  Crazy.

I'm going to spend the afternoon making a new Thai Chicken recipe ala Rachael Ray (we'll see how it turns out!) and reading.  OH!  And I did some pretty nails last night:

Holo topcoat over Purple frost polish, with a white flower stamped on my ring fingers.  They all have that rainbow "flash" like on my thumb nail in the sun.  Love holo polish!

Rainy days, nails, and my Kindle Fire

Its my day off.  I intended to spend the day in bed reading, but of course I was restless by 7:30 so I got up.  Washed my hair and face, fed the cat, discovered last night's storm blew my new glass hummingbird feeder off my sliding glass door and broke it so I'm pretty bummed about that.  I didn't even get to see a single hummingbird at it yet!  I'll have to get a new one :(.
It looks like its going to storm again any minute, so I'm going to make some yummy coffee, eggs, and toast for breakfast.
Oh!  And before I did anything this morning I decided to take off my last manicure fail (didn't even bother with pictures) and try water marble nails again.  This time success!!  Well, mostly.  Some of them are kind of ugly messes but with practice I did a couple that turned out fantastic!  Kind of a pain in the butt, labor intensive, I won't do it very often, but I love the results.  Viola!

Happy Easter

I'm a bit cranky this morning, but its Easter morning so I'm going to try to get out of my snit.  I've been going through some serious depression this week, but for some reason I've had trouble this time of year my whole life, even when I was 5-6 years old.  So I'm going to do my best to focus on other things until it passes and just let God handle it.  To distract me this morning, I took a few pictures of pretty things to share!

Easter nails!  Nicole by OPI polish (don't know the name, from the nail salon), I used the hook end of a small crochet hook to dot white polish in a graduated pattern from the top down.  I love it!

Gorgeous pink peony from Shane's yard, I picked it yesterday, brought it home, trimmed the stem off and its floating in water in a white candy dish my Grandma gave me.

Mona cat being her cute, weird, helpful self.  

Happy Easter!

Spring flowers

TGIF!!  Glad the weekend is here!  And its Easter weekend too, so I'll be going to church services tomorrow night and then Easter brunch at Mom's on Sunday!  I love this time of year, the flowers are all blooming, everything is green, the air is warm but its still cool at night (perfect for sleeping!)  Here are a few pictures of the gorgeous tulips and lilacs mom picked at her house this week:

Aren't they gorgeous?  I love tulips, they're my very favorite flower.  Happy Easter everyone!
