wow. hello.

since i've last written, a lot of great things have happened:

(1) BFF came to visit

(2) i've discovered the miracle facewash: baking soda

(3) i found fabulous face lotion: burts bee's night creme with royal jelly

(4) i went to my local library for the first time since we moved here (three years)

4a) borrowed two books on web page design (and i read them before i goto bed!)

(5) i've/we've become obcessed with the HBO series Six Feet Under (we're currently on the 4th disc of season 3)

(6) i've almost completed kniting a sweater!!

(7) i've made two bags (and i've got ideas for about 6 more!)

(8) my kroger finally got store brand soy milk (and it's organic!!!) and i get my employee discount on it!!!

(9) i'm not going to school this semester and i'm much happier without it!

(10)i've cut back on cheese and i've never been happier!

(11) i finally used the rest of the gallon of bleach i bought 2 years ago and i'm moving onto much more environmentaly friendly cleaning products (baking soda and vinegar)



i'll post pictures of the bags and sweaters later.


some bad things:

(1) my laptop has a humongous crack in it and there is a gigantic black splotch in the middle of the screen-needless to say-im in the marker for a cheap computer monitor ($2.98 at the salvation army) so that my lap top can be a full time desk top.

(2) i think that my effort to cause less polution has only caused more!!! :(




well i'm off to tend to my cupcakes and meet Diemchi at Cellar at 630 for happy hour drinks! (i've never been to happy hour before!)

ciao!

i can't believe it's halloween already.

well, our good friend jimmy got here about an hour ago.

i made cupcakes for this momentous occasion:





i don't really know what's going on for tonight (if we're going to dress up when we go out, or not. i'm assuming not-since we don't have a huge 80's style video camera or a huge boom mic, nor have we made any of these things.) so i guess i'll be "forced" to dress up as....Mary Tyler Moore. i'm pretty much going to wear the green dress i wore last year when i was a "sexy secretary". except i'll have to do my hair like the picture from yesterdays post and wear my contacts. but that'll pretty much look like the way i look normally....

(schields-i need you here so that we can dress up together-i'm going to be the only one dressed up with four non-dressed-up boys!!!)

i hope these pictures work...

these are all of the pretty cupcakes i made that fateful day last spring. Kristin came over and i was babysitting helga:

i bought her that cute little shirt! it says, "Life was meant to be lived off-leash" soooooo adorable!
