The crafting day that I host has become crafting day for everyone except for me

One of my greatest joys in life is crafting. I have many crafts which I enjoy and many skills which I have acquired over the years. I knit, crochet, sew, quilt, sculpt, paint, illustrate, make jewelry and cook. In recent months I have begun to host a crafting day each Sunday morning for the other women I know who like to craft to come over to my house, enjoy some of my cooking, and we all craft together. But I have created a monster and now instead of one or two people coming over and crafting with me, I find myself cooking for and feeding five or more extra people every Sunday and it has got to stop. I have a jewelry piece I have been working on for some time now and I was looking forward to being able to work on it yesterday, but instead I spent most of the day on my feet in the kitchen making food for everyone.

Now, I do realize this is no one's fault but my own. No one made me stay in the kitchen all day, and no one forced me to invite so many people, but the event just started to take on a life of its own and before I knew it, it was out of control. I couldn't even get any crafting done after everyone left because now I was stuck with a mountain of dishes and cleaning to take care of from having cooked so much for many people. So there I was, exhausted from cooking all day and hosting so many people, and I had hours of cleaning to do. I went to bed without having worked on my own craft project at all.

Next week, I am considering not hosting any sort of craft day. Or, If I do, keeping the guest list to no more than three people and ordering pizza instead of cooking, that way I can be still and actually work on my own projects. There is no point to the post, I am just tired and cranky and I wanted to complain about how the whole point of craft day was that I could work on my crafts with my friends, but that isn't what I ended up getting to do at all.

New Rove Cartridge!! Sherbet!

As promised in my last post, here is my review of the latest Rove Brand cannabis cartridge I have purchased, Sherbet. With 78.82% active cannabinoids, I was expecting a pretty punchy experience, but I was weirdly surprised. This cannabis oil is an indica dominant hybrid blend. It has a very creamy, vanilla and citrus flavor, earning the name Sherbet. I puffed twice and waited for twenty minutes. Nothing. No effect, no pain relief, no high, no heady buzz, just nothing. I turned up the temp on my Rove Pro battery pack and puffed twice more. I was still not floored by a wave of cannabis fueled giggles and euphoria that I have come to expect from rove products, but I was treated to some body buzz and a little bit of a mood lift. The effect was pleasant and the vape is the tastiest one I have tried from Rove yet, but since I paid $150 for the new cartridge and the battery pack, I was not terribly impressed by the effect of the cartridge when I first tried it last night. But then! I woke

A brand new Rove experience: Rove Pro Pack

It's that time again! Time for a review of another Rove product, my very favorite brand of cannabis vaporizer. I subscribe to text messages from my favorite local dispensary (Pisos in Las Vegas), and they are kind enough to send out text alerts when products are restocked, sales, specials, and when new products come in. Two days ago I received one such alert informing me that they are now stocking FULL GRAM cartridges from Rove! Before I was only able to purchase half gram cartridges, but I have been SO eager to purchase a full gram, so this was wonderful news! Naturally, I headed to the dispensary just as soon as I could. When I arrived I asked the staff about the full gram cartridges, but I was informed that the cartridges were not being sold in their own, but were instead being sold along with the new Rove Pro battery pack. The old Rove battery was in the pen style of vaporizers: I had no complaints about this version of the product, other than the proprietary USB cha

Latest Rove cartridge: Kush: Why it is awesome!

Well, after three weeks of puffing on my Ape Strain cartridge from Rove Brand cannabis extraction vapes, the little half gram of wonderful cannabis oil has finally started to deplete. I imagine I would have gotten more time out of the little thing if I didn't go on vacation a week ago and let everyone in Northern Nevada try out my handy dandy little stealth rig. That being the case, 3 weeks is pretty damned impressive! After all the tasty good times I had with my Ape cartridge, I wanted to try something new. I went to my local dispensary and talked to my favorite budtender. She is also an avid user of Rove products and advised I give the Kush flavor a shot. Here's the breakdown: Total THC: 69.59% Total CBD: 2.65% Total CBN: 1.89% Total CBG: 3.12% The total active cannabinoids: 79.59% What do all these numbers mean? the Kush cannabis oil cartridge is an indica dominant hybrid blend which is ideal for treating pain, nausea, easing stress, and calming muscle spasms.
