Pretty In Pink... Perfect In Paisley!

 For who the bell tolls? It is so people-y out there I can barely leave my house. The influx of stupidity has exceeded my capacity of brain waves. A bunch, a gaggle, a herd, too many that have stopped thinking for themselves, waiting on some "shot" to make their lives sane and normal again. The over-politicized and publicized plague so the powers to be can gain more $$$$ to their books while insisting it is not safe to venture beyond real life! It has been extremely hard for me to look at some and truly not question who ties their shoes for them? SMH Although I believe in tact and etiquette, I feel some of these individuals need to be put in check so they can see how irrelevant they sound. Or if I read of one more thing becoming open to the general public again but in big bold letters... it says, "MASK MUST BE WORN"  For that reason alone I will not attend! I will stay far and wide and not associate because I really just want to yell, "do you know how ridiculou

 In a recent article I was reading, it was stated by an individual that they did not feel as important as they thought they were. They went on to state, "the phone calls stopped. There were no longer any interactions and I was just left out there kinda hanging. My everyday existence just changed and I did not know what to do with myself." The person on the other end of that conversation simply asked, "well if that person had not come along in the first place what would you be doing? and if you would have been doing that why did you stop and allow someone to take that part away from you?" I have repeatedly said, almost a broken record have said, "life does not stop and all personal activities do not come to a halt because you get yourself involved with someone." The importance of mind clarity and good mental health keeping oneself grounded and in touch with a person's endeavor needs to continue. If a person puts all of their eggs in one basket depending

 I am a simple girl with a very complicated mind. My standards are high and my expectations many times higher. I have always found that if I can not meet my own standards, how would I expect anyone else to match up to what I desire that also refers to love! {we all have this idea of what love is supposed to look like. It is how we have been conditioned and witness to} Yes, it is that one time of year that big box stores, card companies, florists and chocolatiers insist you must profess your love and show ungodly amounts of store-bought items to prove your devotion! I have always questioned why one day? And what kind of person needs this hype? It's novel, it's boorish, it's unimaginative, and it's just one more day on the books for retail to bank! It's one of those very unnecessaries. No, I do not have a problem with love. I do though have a problem with unrealistic notions that this one day is the be-all and the end all... and that it proves your never ending love f

 Yep, it's still cold, a whopping 13 degrees at the moment, here in St. Louis Mo! Thankful my boiler is still running at its optimal best! Thankful for the buffalo plaid jacket I'm wearing over my purple leopard pj's (Yeah still not a vision of glam in the morn'n)and absolutely hands down blessed for this rich cup of Papa Nicholas coffee that I am drinking in my "girl can't live without coffee and lipstick" mug from my creative KM Designs line! Life is good! Can you say that? Although my online presence has taken a place on the back burner, I've just been very busy creating "all the things" behind the scenes. I am still WAITING for my new camera set up. Studio equipment that will just make going live and doing video a bit easier! I'm stockpiling mugs and mug rugs, just received my new shipment of aprons, and very pleased to say, I was asked to be in a private 10 vendor show outside of Jackson Mo! In the latter part of March! I am about to

 Dear Lord, I do not like the cold weather. The level of ambition is a mixed bag toss-up, the mind vs the body to move is not cooperating. My mind says to write the list, keep on track, complete what has been started, and work at an even pace. My body says I hurt, (knee and shoulder) no, do not try to do that and just lay here, under your weighted fur blanket in your spot, watching YouTube's fireplace. {now that makes an exciting life doesn't it} Needless to say, I am up and moving and going... it is called being progressive! I've just put in round 3 of aprons from my supplier, ordered a few "big" office items to use for the next project which is in the works and I have added designs to my coffee cup line. I am researching Bourbon and the many types to use with cooking and baking while I am waiting on delivery for my new set up which I am praying I can use in my kitchen while demonstrating my food recipes. It keeps me busy! It keeps my mind moving and it keeps me
