Finding Excitement in the Little Things

---

So, one thing about me... I tend to get overly excited about the little things in life.  Such as, when I first got a cell phone with an actual keyboard, you know, one of those that swiveled out and had those tiny little keys to type on.  Haha.  And now the keyboard is actually on the screen instead.  I still liked that little keyboard though, it made me feel "cool." 😎

I had another one of those moments this morning on the way out of the gun show over in the next city from ours.  There was a booth advertising this metal dual charger cord with both an Apple and Android connector, but that wasn't even what drew me in. (although it was a large part, because I have a Samsung phone and then an iPad Mini, so it was convenient to have both types of connectors!)  The cords were colored.  And they had my absolute favorite shade of green!  So I just had to get one, which is what you see to the right of this text... it was like a sign or something.  (Just let me keep telling myself that.)  Though I still need an adapter to charge my phone because I forgot that the newest Samsung phones have a different one now, but the hubby says he has some extra ones somewhere around the house that I can have, although he still has yet to find one... the Apple side of the charger works fine though.

In other news... remember that reloading bench that the hubby and I were working on building awhile back, in January?  I now have an updated photo to share, of the finished product:

I'm actually pretty proud of our work on this!  From being completely made from scratch, I have to say that I like how it turned out.  Teamwork pays off in the end!  And I have to admit, this was sorta fun to make, to have a project with the hubby that allows us to spend time together on the weekends, instead of just us doing our own thing separately, which usually consists of him playing video games while I read, or play SWTOR.  Although sometimes I like that also. 

The Art of Being Productive

Well, yesterday's exhaustion was catching up with me again today.  Even though I did get a decent amount of sleep, it did not take long for me to start feeling completely drained shortly after we got started on the work in the garage this morning.  We did end up getting more of it cleaned up and out of the way though, specifically where the reloading work bench is going to go.  We got the bench built, but it's still a work in progress at this point, as the hubby wants to add a pegboard and a shelf combo behind it, to hang various gun tools and whatnot.  Here's the completed result from today's work:

I'm happy with how it turned out, looks very industrial, I think.  It's pretty cool to look at something like that and think "I made that!"  Or in my case, helped.  Haha.  I pretty much held the boards in place while he drilled the screws in.  I'm not getting near the saw, I'm happy to leave that part to him. 

I think the cold air is giving me a consistent headache that I cannot seem to get rid of.  The pain is directly above my left eye and it's really annoying.  Though I think the naproxen pills I took earlier are finally starting to work now, because the pain has reduced to only a slight throbbing every now and then.

Anyway... I'm stopping this entry here because I'm just still so tired and I feel like I'd just be babbling on about nothing if I continue.  So I am going to enjoy my glass of Old-Fashioned Egg Nog (with brandy, rum, & whisky) and wish you all a good evening! 😊  

A Rare Evening to Myself

So it's 4:10pm and the hubby just left with his brother to go to an all-you-can-eat-crab-feed tonight.  I am not a fan of crab in the slightest, so I voluntarily opted not to go with them, because honestly, it would be a waste of a ticket.  So now I have the night to myself.   We slept in this morning until 8am, which is the latest we ever sleep on a weekend, and after getting some breakfast at Black Bear Diner (if you don't have one of those close to you, you're missing out!), we spent the morning breaking down boxes, in preparation for a cardboard dump run.
