Yes, that's it. A potato. Some corn. Yessssssssssssssss! Not cheating, just because it took less than 6 minutes doesn't mean anything... 

*This is a poorly lit picture of a drawing of a potato(and some corn), it is mine, you cannot have it.

Art is subjective. I was definitely looking forward to this drawing the least. After 45 minutes and what appeared to be the drawing of an alien, here we go. Moving on!

Tomorrow Starts a New... Thing

So, apparently it's been close to two years since I've posted here(not that this is anything but for recording stuff for my own purposes). I just read my last post, I think the $5 money savings thing lasted for a few months before I gave up. It seemed like the cashiers everywhere kept giving me back fives exclusively every time I used cash. So I was stashing away all m cash and kept having to go back to the bank and get more so it was just silly. Oh well.

But anyway, I've decided to do a 30 Day Drawing Challenge! Since September has 30 days I figured this would be the perfect time! I've been wanting to get back into my drawing(and blogging), I've missed it, but I tend to get stuck on figuring what to draw. I'm not one for randomness. -.- Last year I bought a book of drawing ideas but haven't really used it, so maybe this will get me back into the swing of things!

I plan on doing my drawings (laid out by this chart I found on Pinterest) and snapping a picture with my phone and uploading it. I might end up doing the posting the day after I draw because I'll probably be drawing at night and any picture I might take will look like a horrible yellow mess. But we'll see what happens!

Peanut Butter, Yarn, and my First Resolution.

Sometimes I just feel the need to type. I don't particularly have anything to say, but maybe I'll think of something.

I've had a lot of peanut better lately. I made two varieties of peanut butter cookies yesterday and it seems like Reese's has sponsored this holiday season.

I bought some new yarn the other day, I'd like to make a scarf with it; maybe I'll actually finish it.  Probably not though.

I was up at 3:45 A.M. to get ready for work this morning, that probably has something to do with the lack of valuable content in this post.

Here's something of substance, I plan on trying(crossing my fingers) to do the five dollar bill savings plan/challenge this year! All that there is to it is every five you get as change or from the bank, or wherever, you put it away instead of spending it. I did this two years ago with the bills I would receive as tips(back when I had a different crappy job that paid better + tips) and saved $1,100 in less than a year. I'm not anticipating a large amount since I don't use cash very often, but hey, it might help with a bill if something comes up. I think I just got a five today as change, so in the words of Mario, here we go!

Salty Coffee

Well it's been more than a month since the long-winded butterfly post.  Not much has changed.  Well except for the fact that after 2.5 years I finally had my braces taken off! Cue the peppy music and parade!  It didn't hurt nearly as bad as I expected it to. Yay! Straight teeth!

On a related note of amazing-ness, I tried a Iced Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks today, basically it was heaven, and yes, it deserved to have it's name capitalized.

You know those "Vote-For-Me" politician's signs that hang out on street corners(they have much in common with hookers)?  I noticed in a herd of signs today, and one in particular caught my eye.  It wasn't flashy, just simple white with black letters(possibly why it stood out).  It said something along the lines of 'Vote Subway, your local sub shop.'  It made me chuckle.  Well played Subway, well played.
