E inspecting my handiwork.
"WHOO WHOO"
Project Boards. i am one of the most unorganized people i know...thus projects boards with important dates and deadlines...still to be filled in :) oh well...at least the project is finished even if i haven't used it yet.
In Process: Father's Day...won't be finished until after then but here's the start...
we recently went to see Pearl Jam (Band of Horses opened)...one of hubby's favorite bands of all time. we bought a poster...they do different ones for each city...but don't have the money to get it framed yet. in the meantime...i am making the collage of photos (unseen) with our tickets and "Pearl Jam" in the typewriter font because that's what their background/scene design looked like for the concert.
Necklace. My mom got this amazing necklace from a friend of hers...then handed it to me and said "i think you could make this" "nah...i'm not that good...wait let me see that again...ooo...it's so pretty. and SO easy. can i keep this for a while?"
i might even do a tutorial since it is soooo simple. in the meantime...
Things i soooo want to do...but let's face it...i probably won't. blergh.
fabric silhouette. i found this one in a book (would reference if i could remember the name).
and so inspired by this and this HEXAGONS!!! i want! i need! i...gave all my fabric away after the 4th move of doing nothing with it
THOUGHTS...
this is a little bit of a running monologue that went on in my head on tuesday...not including the returning thoughts to the above crafts. you may be bored with this part...if so...that's ok. just skip it :)
i love this song...it's kind of morbid. (something corporate - me and the moon) i wonder why i like it. am i weird? hubby says that it is because it's fantastic. oh well. why can't people be smart and put things IN the envelope? don't tape all your personal info to the outside of the envelope that you are putting in the mail allowing everyone to see your credit card info. gosh! why does she laugh like that? like the mary poppins song about all the different laughs...she laughs through her nose. so fake sounding. "hmhnhnhn" i want to travel to england...actually more so ireland. or take a cruise. hubby and i have talked about moving far far away. i don't know that it will ever happen, but we like each other enough to move someplace no one else knows us. starting over. but hopefully with stability. does anyone else wish that their thanksgiving could be like the ones on friends? we would like that...to have a holiday to share with our friend family. right now we rotate thanksgiving and christmas between both sets of parents...thinking about changing it to easter and christmas...who to "jip" the year we decide to change it though...hmmm. need to post pictures on facebook from memorial day. so behind. father's day present not going to be finished in time. why did the website say "no cameras allowed" and then when we got to the door it was all "cameras are ok...just not fancy ones" i hate not having our own pictures from that night. especially for hubby. recently watched high fidelity...so eye-opening. loved it. also love: whip it and away we go. LOVE this song!!! uprising by muse. makes me bebop my head. muse was on the twilight soundtrack...blergh. twilight rant coming: i understand the appeal to twilight. will admit i was obsessed once. read the books a lot. THEN went to see the movie. sucky suck suck suck. (my opinion only) then felt like i had to go see the second so i went during the day with a friend and we laughed through the whole thing. pi$$ed some mommas and daughters off. left and talked about how it was like a drug...we didn't want to go. knew we wouldn't like it. but still went. hope i hold out on this one. i have even sold my books. i'm past it. over it. i understand it. but i'm not there anymore. ok...enough about that. cannot wait for wednesday so you think you can dance! my new favorite show...and i got hubby sucked into the next food network star. the best part of my job is unfortunately not something i can share with everyone due to HIPAA...funny names...funny funny names. we share them with each other and wonder what parents were thinking when they named their children and if they are women we wonder if they married into that name...if so...they must REALLY love them.
UPDATES...
this is a new section...
WEIGHT: everyone says it's just baby weight, but i know different. when we moved to TX in 2005 i gained weight...wish i could say it was all the good comfort food i was eating but really i just got lazy and ended around 210lbs. i have been in the 200 lb range since then (thank God i am 5'8" and hide it well) except in my first trimester with E. i was down to 180. this is the first time in my life i have been proactive in my weight loss. changing my calorie intake, the food that i eat and trying to exercise everyday.
so starting a few weeks ago i weighed in at 203 lbs.
today i am 195 lbs. i am hoping that by posting i will be reminded to keep it up.
