What's Hot & What's Not (A Decidedly Wordy Wednesday)

So I was just going to indulge in one of my usual lazy arse 'Wordless Wednesday' Posts when I realised I actually have some words, and armed with said words I could play along with Loobylu's meme "What's Hot + What's Not" for the first time, because, you know, it's been around long enough now so that I am officially quite late to the party.

****

What's Hot;

*These shoes by Fly London, or London Fly... whatever. I really, really need some. Dottie Angel has some & they are ever so lovely. The only problems are that they are about $200 more than I actually pay for shoes, they are leather & I have comitted to a 2 month wardrobe refashion challenge. I am brainstorming ways in which I can make my own. That's right folks. I'm not saying I will, or that if I do they will look any good, but I'm thinking about it, and, oooohparently, it's the thought that counts.

*Thinking about Christmas decorations! I am a Christmas-a-holic & have been known to have the tree up quite early (as in... when the shops do... like four days ago), but I'm running late this year. I made some Chrissy things for a swap & it was so fun but they are now gone & I am decoration-less. I have to make more, not to mention making actual christmas presents, luckily, there are about a gazillion tutes over here.

*Little Punk kisses. Because they just are. She's started going "Mwwwwwwwwwwwwww...." before a kiss & ".....WAH!" after... A-freaking-dorable.

*Fresh, free range eggles. THANK YOU CHOOKIES! We have so many that everyone at The Boy's work has a constant supply also. And we've been eating many a mushroom omlet.

What's Not (or, "My Personal Pity Party");

*Blogtoberfest finally catching up with me & my internet speed being s...l......o.........w.............e.............d right down. I am going to have to live with it for another 6 days. I think I may die.

*Not being able to use Picnik because of the afore mention stoopid slow speed.

*Not being able to figure out how to darken shadows in Photoshop without the actual Shadows/Highlights too. Now I've had it with Picnik I can't go back....

*The Boy working for over 2 weeks without a day off. We miss him already & he's tired & grumpy.
