Addictive hobbies & healthy eating.

Well guess who got into Pottermore! Oh, I got an account, but still no email allowing me to browse. I'm pretty excited to try it out. Keeping those fingers crossed. It was rather funny to see an ebay auction for one account have bids for $14,000, then to be completely flooded up to $99,999,999. Oh the internet.

Today my friends and I took a trip to Little Shop of Comics in Scotch Plains, NJ. For kids who are poor it's a horrible idea, but it's so great (wonderful, awesome, insane)! I had to make my purchase before I found anymore, but apparently that didn't work. I found some awesome Sherlock Holmes comics and paid for one in cash. Then I was done. I had to be.

I've been trying to think of new healthy food ideas to keep me full and eating well. This sandwich I concocted was surprisingly amazing. It probably would of been 10x's amazing if I had some greens to place on top, but sadly no greens were to be had. It's a Dr. Pregers vegetable burger with humus, tomatoes, and Colby cheese on toasted rye bread. I think I could eat this everyday. I love it when I find foods that I can obsess over and it's not junk food. This is definitely better tasting than any junk food.

Whole foods is my favorite place to go to eat, because of their buffets! I wish I could walk down to my kitchen and it would be exactly like a Whole Foods buffet. If only I were a millionaire! I love their salads and vegan desserts. Their vegan cookies are so delicious! I could go for one right now, preferably with some almond milk. Mmmmm, almonds.

I wonder what other easy, healthy meals I can make? I've been trying to search for a "daily meal ideas" site, but haven't found one that was good yet. Especially for fresh, raw, vegetable based meals. I need a chef.

Banana Bread and Beautiful Boys.

I've been struggling this week trying to focus on my business as well as a job I took on this week. I'm kind of failing and I apologize. It's hard having to be away from my work for a long time each day. I get antsy. However, I love the two, absolutely adorable fluffy-kins I get to watch. Haha. I would feel horrible if I didn't keep them as much company as I could while their parents were away. I apologize for the lag in production! I will be back on track after this weekend.

I was able to make able to make banana bread today. There were 3 bananas that were at their ripeness limit, so I thought why not try making banana bread finally. It's still baking right now and has a few minutes left. I had to do a few alterations because I did not have baking powder, only baking soda. I hope it turns out ok, lol.

I did finish some commissions today too. Feels like they took forever because I had to keep stopping. I'm glad at least some are done.

I made his eyes slightly lazy because I felt it helped his "despair" look. ^ ^

Check out this sly devil. Great sculpt!

Bento Success!

It's 12am, muggy, hot and I'm tired. I just finished making my bento for tomorrow. It was relatively quick but I ended up with oily fingers, sweaty face, not being able to close the thing, and somehow smudged chocolate on my favorite "The Banner" shirt. It's time for sleep. I hope the bento holds up. Should I carry it or keep it in my book bag? I'm scared. Lol.

Decided to investigate.

Last night I successfully threw, with a lot of help from my friends, a surprise party for our friend Justin. He goes, well went, to an audio school in the city, and they don't get much of anything when they finish the program. So I thought it would be a great idea to do something for him. I mean he worked so hard, we rarely saw him. I made him a cake too \( ^ _ ^ )/

I woke up too early, I couldn't get to sleep until 5am for some reason. Now I'm heading out to Mitsuwa to pick up a manga I ordered. Then it's back home for commissions!

So I've been on the hunt for realistic and beautiful looking eyes for my dolls. I am not a fan of the acrylic "printed" look, and I wasn't having luck with glass eyes. Silicone I dislike because the whites of the eyes look strange. I decided to investigate urethane eyes. I know they're expensive, but I was really blown away with all the choices and quality. You can get almost any color with no pupils from Enchanted. I was really smitten with this pair. They would be great for my Little Fee Ante tarutaru!

The downside is they can get scratches and they take months to be made and sent to you. I know as a doll lover I should be used to that, but waiting that long is for whole dolls! Speaking of which, I'm waiting on my Crobidoll Jerome and am getting excited more and more as the days pass. I cannot wait!
