A New Addiction

I could go on and on about how my teeth suck and I've been going to the dentist for 5 weeks now, but I wont. I could also complain about the fact that I'm trying not to move, and that I need to make an appointment for the doctor tomorrow afternoon before I go to the dentist, because I'm pretty damn sure I have a UTI, but alas that's already TMI.

Hence, since I've been trying not to move for the past 36 hours, I've found a new addiction: etsy.com. Etsy is a website where you can buy and sell homemade items fairly cheap. I have been buying up a storm! So far I've bought one Christmas present so I can't say it on here, but let's just say it's awesome; a pair of Glowworm earrings; 4 pair of PacMan ghost studs; a white and pink cat-ear knit hat; a pink circular knit scarf; green glass bulb earrings; two pair of rose dangle earrings; red dangle glass earrings; silver rose dangle with a red bulb earrings; and a good luck, horseshoe necklace; all for under $50!

I have to force myself to get off of that site, because it is so addictive. I absolutely love, love, love all of the unique items on there. My favorite thing is to go to the geekery section and browse through all of the items.

I love craft work, I really do. But, I suck at it. I can make Santa Claus heads (ahem, that's also going to be Christmas gifts--I think), and I can make fleece blankets. But, I've been trying to teach myself to knit...and that's not going so well.

I may just stick to cooking and baking and leave all of the crafts up to my new addiction.
