This one is taking a lot longer than the last two. But it is twice as big. Lots more teeeny numbers to hunt for. I am loving this - all those lush colors make my eyes happy.

The past few days the local animal population has been acting strange.  The crack cricket has been staying up until after sunrise, being just as vocal - which is odd since he usually goes to bed during the dark of night. Also, the bats have been super vocal - usually they make a few chirps and that's about it.  Neither of them predict earthquakes, so I have no idea what, if anything, this bodes, but I am keeping my eye on it to see if anything occurs.

I also had a dream that a chicken decided to adopt me.
Chicken Dream InterpretationIn general, a chicken dream is a message that you may have to re-evaluate your response to something in your waking life. Are you responding from your heart or out of fear? Are you backing down when you should be standing up for yourself? ( I tend to back down a LOT in my dreams which drives me nuts - I mean I used magic dangit, none of this victim crap anymore)
Be sure to take the time to work through things and see where it takes you. Usually, you can grow from it! One of these fowl in your dream is also a symbol of your vast potential. The vision is letting you know that to achieve your potential you must find the courage to overcome your fears.

  I just finished Time's Convert by Deborah Harkness and was so happy with it that I giggled loudly and many times at how happy it made me.  I knew it would be a great book, but it surpassed that level of great into the stratosphere. I loved seeing all my favorite characters from the trilogy again and learning some fabulous backstory too.

Harkness weaves such a good story and she knows how to detail it with her vivid historian background. *happy happy*

​Have you read these yet? Go - shoo - read - I'll wait!

Yep.... I am seriously addicted to Paint by Numbers.... and then I went to Hobby Lobby. I had never been in a Hobby Lobby before. Holy Crap!

This one is just up the street from me, potential problem, and it just opened 4 days ago. Still had that sweet new smell and it is HUGE. The parking lot was full but inside you couldn't tell there were a ton load of people in there.

I can see myself actually wanting to go back there... like daily.  Should I be worried about this?

Also.... this:  I mean, I cannot, simply cannot, stop laughing....
Remember fuzzy Jesus, restoration?

This is better... just click, trust me. And maybe, don't drink anything while you do!

Quote from WeeCubeMan: "What brand of synthetic neon green track suit is Jesus wearing?" and "Is that a plastic ball or a globe? Both being objects that were, you know.... around when Jesus was a baby."  " Also, was hot pink in style in the 0000s?"

DYINGGGGGGG

First: A Quick taste of the Affogato Diaries - mini version... This one was done on the quick and it wasn't too bad.  Same supplies as the previous AD - read here.  The differences were small but I think made it slightly less tasty - The glasses weren't chilled and the espresso was pre-made and then heated in the microwave - WeeCubeMan totally nuked that espresso LOLOLOLOL

Affogato scale of awesomeness a 10 being the best
First affogato: 4 
Second affogato 7
Third affogato: 9.5 - there is always room for improvement but this was a solid awesome treat!
Fourth affogato: 8.5 - tasty but slightly nuked LOL
Fifth affogato: TBD

More paint by numbers fun in my artistic tab... these things are amazingly good fun.

Dream land:  Some really great dreams followed by a few fallow nights of not being able to wake up enough to write them down.  It's odd, but a night without recalling dreams is like waking up with no road map to what comes next.  That is the best I can explain it anyway.  Maybe it's because I have been trying to really work with my dreams to progress to whatever it is I am here to do and not having a recall after nights of great dreams, leaves me feeling out of touch the next morning.

​I do know I have much more to explore as my last dream had many doors left to open, although some were locked... but I will get there. 

Synchronicity of note:  many 8s in my dreams lately - along with pulling the 8 of wands with a higher percentage than one would think it would show up.  Combined with my dreams, it is a positive sign, forward momentum and progress is happening. I like that sort of thing!
