This is just a fad.



-People who add photos booths to their wedding receptions are my favorite. Sarah and I loved and abused this thing. Heaps of fun.

-School has started and been in full swing. I am so far indifferent about the whole thing. It's only been in session one week though, so we'll see what happens.

-My birthday is this friday! I love love birthdays. Mark is throwing me a super great party that I am so excited about. LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!

-I haven't been sewing as much. I have been so busy. I do troll etsy more than I should though.

Paper Plane

ok, so i know this isn't the best photo. But we danced ourselves silly saturday night. And my lack of a large purse only allowed me to tote around my phone.

My summer is quickly coming to an end and I am pretty sad about it. So much has happened in the past four months. Looking back on everything I am so thankful for every moment I had.
Up next:
School starts.
My birthday!

north-er?

Hi! I moved. Finally.
(sorry for the bad photo, btw).
I am unpacked. This only took me 4 days. While packing took me almost 4 weeks. I live in an 'condo complex' full of beagle dogs and children. Mmhmm.

Here is a picture of my diggs... well, part of them at least:

Crap.. another awful photo. It's dark over here right now, due to a large gray cloud. Prayer flags became a valance and my window sill became a place to put photos. Because of all my toys and nik-naks you may confuse my room for a 12 year old girls room. But thats ok. Really, not the toys fault, probably mostly my love of pink that throws people off.

I am looking pretty pale right?

A better update when I am not dreaming of being by the swimming pool.

Comics

Comic-Con can sure take a lot outta two tired kids who stayed up too late the night before. We walked around for almost seven hours. Taking in awesome costumes, fantastic artwork, and even better movie junk. It was heaps of fun. We finally got to indulge in some Pinkberry. Mark was less than impressed, as usual with over fussed stuff. I however, loved every bite of it.

I didn't buy much at comic-con. I have always been a person who looks at something... sees someone charging ridiculous prices for it, and decides, "I could make that on my own anyway..." I did buy the comic-con exclusive Vampire Mr. Toast. If you don't know who mister toast is.. well I suggest you use google to it's fullest powers right now and find out.

The end of the day did not go so well. I had a horrible head ache all day and by time dinner came I couldn't eat I felt so sick. Ended up throwing up a few times and finishing the night with horrible body aches and shivers. Needless to say I spent today in bed. I feel better, but not 100%

The packing continues here at home. I'm pretty much over all of this right now and ready to get it over with. Packing is fun for like an hour. Then you realize that this all has to be undone later. Ick.

Ok... I am off to stare at this mess and try to block out the sound of my neighbors playing rockband. I don't care who you are... no one sounds good when they play that game.

In a box to the left.

so so so.

I've been a bit M.I.A. due to packing and cleaning and packing.
I have thrown SO MUCH stuff away it's almost embarrassing. Who has that much stuff? Well not this girl, not anymore at least. It's weird the things we hang on to. The things we assume we need. Not going to become a minimalist, no way. But maybe a half way one. Heh.


When I am not packing and cleaning I am taking every free moment to collect myself. I don't do well in messy areas. And my room is a disaster due to boxes and what nots all over the floor. Just trying not to hyper ventilate and maintain a cool head.

The etsy shop is dead, pretty much. I mean I haven't sold a single thing and I am sad.

I owe packages to two people. Both are half way done. But I just don't know if I will get them out by this weekend. So nikkonia and my dear shannon...packages out next week or I'm a loser. For real. <3

This weekend is comic-con! YAY! I am so so excited. Time to buy some cutesy things and see some fun people dressed up. Can't wait.

park it.

We enjoyed a day at the park on saturday. Played some nice rounds of mancala and checked out the botanical garden.
Today was all about friends and family!

I need to start packing soon. Which means I'll be getting rid of lots and lots of things. Because I always purge when I move. Also, my room size is shrinking. Eh, I have too much junk anyway.

Love


Look what I got!!!
It's not a Schwinn Collegiate. But it's just as good. It's a vintage (late 70s mid 80s?) Sears and Roebuck, Sheffield Free Spirit 3 speed with a coaster brake. In good condition. Needs new tires, a shorter chain possibly, and the gears are shot. But I took her for a ride when I got home and had no problems just cruising around. The tires just don't hold air for too long. I am so so happy. And the price I paid... almost ridiculous... $40.00!!!! Such good luck today. :]

So, if you want to join my bike gang... let me know!
