January Bits and Bobs

bits and bobs: A random assortment of things; small remaining pieces and things

I firmly believe if it is going to be this cold, there needs to be snow on the ground. Every single day. 

I’ve been applying Isle of Paradise self tanning butter to my face about once every four days for about a month now, and it’s just enough of a {fake} kiss from the sun to get me through the winter months. I figure this is cheaper than a ticket to Bora Bora. 

I am in LOVE with this owl sweater. If only I knew how to knit. It’s crazy to think there are people in this world who could buy this pattern, follow the directions and actually end up with a sweater that looks like this. 

Talent and patience, that’s what it is. Talent and patience.

We were out running errands the other day {much longer than expected} and it was tea o’clock so of course I had the HH stop so I could get my afternoon cuppa.

I had not been to a 7-11 in about 12 years so it was sort of fun to look around and see what was there. I spotted the usual things like a slurpee machine and hot dogs on rollers, but so was also a DIY nacho machine!

I thought it was fascinating. The HH wouldn’t let me get one though… And that’s saying a lot because he likes all that gross boy food.

Also I was surprised that Gas is currently $2.79 a gallon. Doesn’t that seem low? Maybe I need to get out more. How much is gas going for these days in YOUR neck of the woods?

That’s it. That’s all I’ve got for today. 

Here’s hoping you have a nice, warm and lovely weekend.
