The "BERs!"

We're finally into the BERs (SeptemBER...OctoBER...NovemBER...DecemBER) which obviously is the best time of the year! As per usual (perhaps more than usual) I find myself proCRAFTinating. I haven't made a single Halloweenie or Christmas ornament, but I did make a cowfish (wait, what?). Here's a summary of my recent shenanigans as told via Twitter and Instagram.

How do they know where to sleep and PURRfectly interrupt craft time? #cat #catsofinstagram #kitty #kitten #kittensofinstagram #petsofinstagram #pet #crafts #crazycatlady #posca #poscaart #poscapens #creative

Belize Rhymes with Freeze

Baby it's Cold Outside. I mean, what fresh hell is this? 70 degrees F? I might as well be living in the fridge...move aside eggs and butter, I'm movin' in!

You see, I live in Belize which is a TROPICAL country. I'm used to temperatures that range from mid 80s to the high 90s...not this arctic chill! Sure, in the humid, sticky days of May we all dream of a "cold front" but when it actually arrives I'm like...

And I'm not the only one. People all over Belize have dragged out their hoodies, beanies and blankies to fend off the frigid air. It was actually below 70 degrees this morning - how DARE you Mother Nature? Just because Belize rhymes with Freeze doesn't mean you have to do that to us!

Of course, the snuggly silver lining is that I have an excuse to use all my fabulous Christmas socks and pjs, and cuddle up with the blankies made for me by my mum. Soooo flippin' cozy!

Oh hey - How do you keep warm in a cold room?

wait for it....

wait for it...

Go to the corner cuz it's always 90 degrees. 

Bwahaha!
