@Ava: Your morning sounds great! I'm curious about the candy cane pie. I've never seen one.
My family makes the same simple meal every Christmas. It's a tradition, I guess. Now that I'm living on my own and raising my own family, I'm holding up that tradition.
@Ava: oh my gosh, that sounds so sweet. It sounds like a cheesecake, but peppermint. I'd try it. I do enjoy sweet things.
My family had more children than they could afford, so the tradition was sort of a food-potluck with whatever cheap meals they could make that could feed a hoard of people. My mom always made Swedish food [which was recipes handed down from my grandparents- I'm in the U.S.]
Now I make Swedish food to feed hoards of people, but it's more for friends that don't have Christmas plans that I invite to come over.
I think not having plans around the holidays is the best way to go about enjoying the season. The stress isn't there to make it perfect.

@sunny: lol. How are you today?
@Koah: good morning. :)
@Ava: oh, you're quite welcome :3 Candy cane pie? -- that definitely sounds interesting!
@Kairu: that sounds like good planz for the day, even if you're a day early for finishing friday's tasks! :3

I don't know that we really have any holiday traditions here... well, actually we have a couple: The kids get new PJs and a small toy on Christmas eve... We used to bake cookies, have eggnog and listen to holiday music while trimming the tree, but that seems to have died over the last couple of years... and Christmas day is usually whatever I feel like cooking, which usually includes a turkey and a handful of sides, but nothing too crazy because really, we end up snacking all day - cinnamon rolls with coffee in the morning is a tradition here, and the food just "happens" otherwise. If people want to come over, they come over. If they don't, they don't. But it's usually pretty small and very casual - PJs, food, movies, gifts, more food...
@Koah: Hey Koah. It's going. I'm tired and my stomach has been a little wonky all day, but we've cleaned up the house, decorated the outside a little bit, I did more laundry, I cleaned up the bird feeders and put out more food for them... it has been productive. How is your day going?

@Wildfire: Definitely. I played with a little bit of it but not entirely sure
if i have to export it when i finish.
So after some afternoon stuff my family has to do
i'll definitely play around with it more and tell you how it goes.
tho i def now recommend getting CSP cause using PS brushes is a huge game-changer.
CSP brushes i struggle with finding what i like.
so it helps me out a ton.

@MoodyB: Good to know. I'm currently not using either of those programs and what I do digitally tends not to make use of brushes, but that's good to know!

@Wildfire: If you ever get more into digital i'd definitely go for CSP.
Mostly because it's just 1 payment. it's around $40 but it goes on sale a lot around $20.
And all updates are free.
I'm as you know a big digital artist.
I've honestly tried every program out there pretty much.

@Wildfire: I'm good thanks. We didn't go out on my mum's scooter because it was raining all day :( we will probably go out tomorrow. How was your day?
@MoodyB: Yes, I've heard some good things about it and I have friends who use it. I just don't for whatever reason. :3
@sunny: Awwww, no test run? :( Tomorrow, hopefully!
My day was ok, thanks - busy, productive, and tiring, but it has been a good day all in all so far. How was yours other than rainy and non-scooter-y??

@Wildfire: That's good to hear that you were productive! That's always a good thing.
My day was pretty empty and depressing tbh, but I'm writing now so all is well XD
@sunny: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that your day wasn't the most pleasant! ...but yay for writing?!! Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you! <3
┤▒├ Hangout with me! ┤▒├
@Wildfire: Thanks, I hope so too. There's nothing specifically wrong, just a general feeling of depression. Probably because I have not been sleeping well at all :/
currently: new novel who dis?

@Wildfire: Your day sounds great. <3 I got my kids done with school by noon today. So that was an accomplishment. However, I burned out a little from that. I took a shower and then got on a phone call with my mom. My sister is a snitch and told my mom that I drink. So I got an ear full about drinking. =3=
I'm a grown adult. omg, I snapped back and said something along the lines of "Well, I drink less now than I did living with you." and she scoffed. I definitely put a log on that fire instead of putting it out. lmao. worth it.
