Tanned Animal Quiz

I was tagged by the lovely @babydinosaur930 <3 to do this quiz and post my results.

This is so gosh darn cute, and it's pretty accurate, I'd say. The only thing is that I would say I definitely express my emotions--perhaps too much. Emotions everywhere. Everything else 100% spot on.

Tagging: @guacamolleee @caughtnyact @theyearningghoul @redheadsramblings @avantegarda and anyone else who wants to do it. <3

I'm still out here making things, but unfortunately can't share much because it's under wraps due to CAT. <3

My plans for this Winter include shoveling as much raw brussel sprout salad as possible in my mouth (the good recipe with smoked almonds, cranberries and honey-mustard dressing), enjoy the pirate party my husband is going to throw me for my 31st birthday and find out whether or not roasted almond tea tastes good with milk <3

[growingsucculents]

Hi! I have some succulents (an aloe, an echeveria, and a cactus of sorts) that are doing pretty well, but being winter, I'm worried about how often to water them. I used to water every other week, but haven't for a month now. They're all looking well, but I don't want them to get stressed. My other worry is the temperature -- they're in my kitchen that's around 15 - 18 C. Is that okay or should I move them someplace warmer?

I water my succulents once every 3-4 weeks in winter! Depending on the temperature and how much sun they get etc. it’s totally okay to not water them that often in winter! My advice is to only water the succulents when you see wrinkles. They’re sleeping right now so they don’t need much water. Also if you don’t water cacti in winter and leave them in a colder spot you have a better chance for them to bloom in their growing period!

As for the temperature not all succulents tolerate frost, so it’s advised to keep the temperature above 10 degrees celsius. So that means you’re doing great!!

I dream of ice-skating

text version below

I think the frustration boiled down to either 

A) it was 8.45pm and it was still +32C outside and the open windows did not help a damn bit, it wouldn’t get any colder today, fact 

B) there was no time for the wine to chill before I  opened the container, and lukewarm White is such a pleasure to consume, right

I reckon it is probably both plus the fact that I realised that learning a new language requires either sound proof walls or… Yeah that’s about it, repeating out loud on a bus or whilst walking down the road is just asking for trouble. Plus plus a fact I haven’t considered, maybe learning a new language through the means of a second language is a bad idea to start with. 

So right now I picture frozen lakes at Christmas time, people on skates, a cold drink in my hand -  covered by mittens.

things i know about my dragonself so far

- i mainly ate plants(saplings, grasses, bushes, and bark), sometimes ripping up entire small trees and eating them. fruits and vegetables were also a favorite. i would eat entire beehives- i had a sweet tooth for honey and honeycomb!! the only meat i would eat was fish. i fucking loved fish.

- i’m not sure exactly where i lived, but it was definitely related to a forest of some sort (a valley? lush, green, mountain range? massive forest?) i remember living close to a lake or pond, diving inside and catching fish to eat.

- i was burly and large- not very agile. i had massive wings that supported me and allowed me to fly great distances. i had some sort of beard? similar to a guardian dragon from flight rising. i had fins sprouting from my jawline, and jagged spikes running down my back. my limbs were thick and powerful, made for climbing and falling trees. i had four legs.

- my voice was deep and gravelly, rumbling like a boulder falling. most of the sounds i made came from deep within my chest(purrs, growls, roars, hums)
