I’m becoming more & more addicted to shopping at Etsy.
Just what is Etsy? Etsy is a social commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. According to the website, their vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice: Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.

I found these for my mother’s birthday. Shipping was only $7.00 too

Salt & pepper shakers for my Mom’s strawberry kitchen found here.

I might even open up a little shop there one day.
Anyway, I just thought I would share this with you all

Oh, you internet drama

I’ve spoken to people that have had online problems recently. I just don’t understand why someone/anyone would put so much energy into being hateful. It seems to me that the world is already a pretty nasty place. Why seek people out just for the point of being miserable? Has it ever dawned on these people that they themselves are probably more consumed with the whole scenario than the people they think they are bothering? Point, click, delete! I think that time wasted in this false world could be better spent. The internet may be a safe haven for you to be a faceless menace, I agree! but when the computer is turned off who is burdened?

Why these things happen, I don’t know. I can’t imagine taking time away from the things I find happiness in, just so I can “get back” at someone. Peace be with you

The only type of drama that I like is Korean.

It’s funny how you picture someone that you chat with online. I sometimes wonder how other people perceive me to look like. As I chat with people longer and read more details of their daily lives, my vision of them and their space seems to become more vivid. I wonder if I’m painting a true picture, I’m just wondering because I see some people post pictures of what appears to be themselves. Others post pictures of movie stars, musical artists, or anime characters. My online friends have really interesting icons that seem to be a little deeper than most out there. Just an observation. anywho, on with my day.

The bad hand

I know I mentioned in this post that I would be attending fitness camp, but it looks like I’ll be missing out on it this week. I have been having problems with my left hand for a while and it is starting to get worse . I hope it isn’t because of the exercise! I spoke with my doctor yesterday and she believes I could very well have a cyst. I am on a waiting list to see a specialist. Let’s hope the wait will not be very long! I’d like to be able to type using both hands again LOL . My fitness instructor will be working with me on exercises that will not require any weight that will be put on my left hand, so that’s a relief. I am totally unable to bend any fingers other than my thumb or pinky. It just burns and locks up if I try. Talk about unlucky, right ? I guess I’ll just use this time to catch up on my reading or my new not-so-secret guilty pleasure– watching a few Asian Drama shows on dramacrazy.net. My husband loves to tease me about this and each time we pass by the video store in the Crystal Mall, he points out various actors, claiming they are my boyfriend .
The drama I am currently watching is called “You’re Beautiful“, which is about a nun who stands in as a singer for an idol group after her brother was in an accident.

I am so lame LOL
Welp, I am going to have to take a brief hiatus from blogging for the time being

.
Peace out

I love Nintendo

I am incredibly jealous of my husband. He went to the Nintendo of America headquarters in Washington on business Tuesday. He brought back a ton of awesome goodies.
