Caught Up! Phew!

Inspiration just comes and goes, that's for sure!  I truly fell behind with P365 last week because I couldn't get the layouts for week 39 or 40 to look half decent.  The lack of sleep of course doesn't help things at all because whenever I open up Photoshop, I'd feel like clicking the damn "x" and just closing it again.  LOL.  Last night I realized that week 41 has past so I sacrificed 2 hours of much needed sleep to finish the two layouts.  Surprisingly enough, I managed to scrap week 41 to my liking really quickly and finished week 40 as well.

Last week was pretty uneventful, except for making my first ever Edible Arrangements inspired fruit basket.  Danny's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year so I spent an hour before bedtime cutting up the fruits and trying to make it presentable to bring to the office the next day.  Not too shabby even if I say so myself!  Now I understand why EA charges an arm and a leg for their baskets.  It's a lot of fruit and work!  Especially after planning and executing a last minute evening of hot potting at 公公's.

At the sacrifice of two hours of much needed beauty sleep, I'm caught up!

This layout took waaaaaaaaay too long to finish

The week before was Mid Autumn and this year mom decided we'd stay at home to eat.  We switched things around and made turkey!  Ya, turkey for Mid Autumn, exactly one week before Thanksgiving.  All thanks to an inherited (and defrosted) gobble gobble from 葉太.  My first time making turkey and stuffing too!  It turned out pretty good, to my surprise.

The bird.  Yes, I know it's upside down, stop laughing.
On another note, construction's been going smoothly at the office until Carlo decided, well, he didn't like the colour scheme.  So... we're renovating again.  Yep, already!  The floors are coming out, the walls repainted again and things redone.  Just when we thought we're seeing the end.  Sigh.  Well, he's the one with all the money so whatever.  Meanwhile, I'm the small potato that was pretty happy winning a $10 gift card to Walmart from McDonald's Monopoly.  My first time winning any non-food item from that damn game.  The years and years of playing Monopoly... well, okay not really because I gave up on it many many years ago.  I guess I was just lucky!  HAHA~!

Okay, it's 11:15pm and I'm going to now rush off to bed.  CLM is sleeping in MarMar's room tonight so for once in 8.5 months (who's counting anyway?) maybe I can get 8 hours sleep.  OMG, I'm excited just thinking about it.

I'm off!!
