My Little Goob

 Epifanio is just such a funny little goob, I love every great picture I get of him. 

Lego-Palooza

 I'm just gonna do a blitz of all of the sets I've done in the last few days - I have been trying to get through all of my small sets that I put off. 

Happy Birthday, Betty!

 It's Betty's third birthday today!

By all logic, this means she's finally a 21 year old young lady (1 human years = 7 dog years, so 21)

She of course had to celebrate. 

My Old Fellas

 Apparently, a thing that happens in elementary schools now is kids celebrate the 100th day of school by dressing as 100 year old people, and the fellas did this today. 

Ugh these freaking cuties, I love this.

L O V E Lego

 I love a quick Lego set that just takes a single evening. 

Even More Organizing/Rearranging

 I thought I would keep the reorganization of the house still going this weekend, I get such a great high from all of the organizing. 

I recently bought some more shelves for my bookshelves, because there is so much lost space on the tiny Lego sets, they don't even fill the height of the shelf at all. And I've got a whole bookcase of books that are short and could use more shelves. 

Added in 3 new shelves to this top case.

And two more shelves to this case. 

It looks so good. And you can see this picture was taken before my last bit of organizing, because I then organized my Loungefly backpacks. 

Ah, so lovely. 

The Creel House Lego Set

 Okay I have finished the set that I waited all morning for on New Years Day. And its beautiful of course. 

And it does something fabulous: 

I absolutely love this. 

Ultimate Mud Cake

 All right, I don't remember if I've talked of this before (too lazy to go back and check) but along with my monthly book club, I have started a dessert club, so each month we will be making a new dessert. This month is the Ultimate Chocolate Mud Cake. 

The recipe I used is:

And here is my cake: 

lol so what happened with this, is that my shelves were too close to each other, so it rose up above the shelf above it.

But then, I smoothed it out and put the ganache on.

It was a delicious cake, and very good ganache. Unfortunately for all of us, its an ultimate dark chocolate cake, so it was BITTER as heck. If I made this in the future, I think I would make a milk chocolate ganache to offset the dark of the cake. It was good just very bitter haha. 

More Rearranging/Organizing

 I had some time today, and decided to rearrange the house. I moved our kitchen table from its location between the kitchen and front room and moved it to the area next to the kitchen. I put a small couch where the table was, and honestly I was pleased with the results. 

It looks so different, but I'm sure once I'm used to it, it'll feel totally normal. 

Once I got the table in here, I did move some things around the kitchen, and needed a new area for things that were in a bookshelf I got rid of to make room for the couch. 

Absolutely love it.

Snow White Lego

 Apparently this time of year I'm just finishing Lego sets. 

I finished the Snow White one today, how lovely. 

Balrog Lego

 I finished my Balrog bookend Lego today and of course its so cool.

It's so great! 

2026!

 Y'all, we have made it to a new year! Holy cow! 2025 went by so fast, I can't believe it. Here's to a new year. 

Firstly, of course I had to go to the Lego store for the new releases, there were so many good ones today. 

We had a loooooong line to wait in (the new Stranger Things house set is being released and of course its what I want) but I'm still in good spirits waiting in the rain. 

Husband and Betty were partying toooo hard and crashed out mid-day.
