I got a little Tegan and Sara inspired mullet, eeeee!
(to clarify, that's the good kind of mullet ;)
New post below too :]

Happy Birthday Sweeeeeeeeetie!!!

Happy Birthday my sweet Keith!!! I hope you have a really good day and don't worry, you're only 30% old ;) I love you babe!!! We'll celebrate when I get back! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo!!! Hunny... You should go do your favorite thing tonight, there's money in my account for 3 races :)

i'm at the height of my dream!

I'm making lists like it's going out of style! People will start arriving for the RVA weekend tomorrow, and classes start Thursday. I'm LOVING all the list making and I hit a point tonight where I knew we'll be able to check everything off in time, it's doable! Everyone is working really hard, and it's so inspiring to me :) And I'm getting really excited to meet people, hang out with Lacy, teach my classes, take some classes, go to Jeremy's concert and see it all come together!!
A few things that make Elsie so cute & special: - She asks me how to spell words a lot. And she asks me from the other side of the loft. - She really does talk like she typieeees. And she has the cutest voice! - She takes really good care of her friends and her boyfriend - She has some realllly funny stories! - Often has paint in her hair - She keeps good secrets - She does little dances in empty aisles at target - She's the hardest worker I know (and it's really really inspiring) - Jeremy is hooked on some conspiracy theories, and she listens attentively to all of them - She's got endless good ideas - Has cute cute outfits and changes a few times a day - Her and Jeremy are big into Starbucks and they've shown me some really yummy drinks (I've probably had it 11 times since I got here) - She has a really tender good heart I love her so much... we've really become friends, and she's really special to me. I'm one lucky girl!

AHHH!

Girls can dream can't they? I just loved seeing a girl-tom, and Elsie was gaga for the pug! It was the perfect break from work last night, we were really sappy and giddy to play with puppies! Eeeeee! I wanted to hold her, but I knew it would've been too hard... If there was a black lab pup too, it woulda been my dog dream; to see all my pups as pups together! I woulda layed on the floor with the boston, bassit & lab and let them kiss me like crazy, snort on me, and nuzzle in my neck...I would been the happiest girl ever! Oh sheesh, I'm crying. I miss my pups!

Helllo Saturday :]

I hope you're giving everyone around you smiles :) I need to start taking more pictures while I'm here so I can eliminate posts like this. lol.

"is the whole movie about people playing frisbees with razors?"

Loved LOVED reading my new subscription to UPPERCASE on the plane ride here. Saving the second half for the way home :] This is my very favorite thing at Elsie's house, besides her. She has cute little things like this mushroom guy :) Miss Rachel and her brick, lol :] (A building got torn down and she wanted to keep this big brick, and I think that's pretty adorable) Doing my usual decision time at the end of shopping. I decided against the purse, got the rest :] Freckled Nest baby! (at Fridays) Jamie and I hung out yesterday and had lots of fun! She's sooo nice :) This is our view most of the time, working in the kitchen on our computers with lots of lists, and having mini dance parties and drinking lots of starbucks, eating sandwiches and listening to Britney Spears "Gimme More" on repeat (we're at 63plays).

Panera! I dream of it...

Sandwiches are my *favorite* food (and tomatoes)! Elsie took me to Panera yesterday...and it was byfar the best sandwich place i've ever been to! And I had a Sierra Mist (i'd forgot alllll about them till I saw the machine). The bread was as soft as Keith's cute cheeks :) Both of them ;) The good post is coming Tomorrow/Thursday, promise :] Time for Sleep, I can't wait to get to work tomorrow :) I really am having so much fun! PS: I can't wait to see the Earth movie! I saw the preview when Keith and I saw Fast and Furious together and I haven't stop thinking about it since. The swimming elephants and blanket of white birds made me squeak outloud in the theater full of car-boys :) Earth is going to be so beautiful!

I sure miss this guy...

I will write a gooood post soon, I have lots to say and I have some fun pictures, but I'm working on lots of stuff and need a chunk of time to do a good post :) I'm having fun though, and really really looking forward to the Craft Weekend :) If you signed up for one of my classes, can you say 'hi' here in the comments. I wanna get to know you better :) Thanks! To quote the mailman today, "it's nippy out", but otherwise, the weather has been really nice, especially compared to the wintery feeling when I left Winnipeg. Have a great Tuesday everyone!

dressup party

I've been turned into a "Scene Kid". Lol. Vanessa's party is tonight and it's the theme. Elsie did my hair and makeup... and I feel very funny. But I like my blush. And big hair. It's going to be fun!

my favorite part of the day

(more eyebrow races)

she really is as great as she seems :]

Right now, I'm taking care of the store while Elsie and Jeremy are out :] Can you imagine how much squealing is going on?! (I love playing store ever since...forever). Keith, You're so wonderful, and today... I went to Hobby Lobby, and there were LOTS of cool models, so I'm going to bring you one home. Or maybe two :] Miss you sweetie!

Vanessa Rose & Clothes :]

Remember when I said I wanted to start Album Cover Designs? Vanessa Rose heard it thru the grape vine...and asked me to help her with the text on her cover :] We love the way it turned out! :) * These are a few of the clothes I got last week; Keith took the pictures for me :] Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice Easter and spent time with family :] See you tomorrow :) PS> My etsy shop will be 'closed' while I'm away (April 15-May 4), so if you need anything, place your order before tomorrow.

My Birthday & The Big Winner!

Today is my birthday! It was perfect, I got a pedicure, went to my favorite restaurant with Keith, fell in love with Guacamole, did LOOOOOTS of errands, split orange juice ALL over myself (lol!), got 2 new bras, bought more Activia (i'm in love with this yogurt!), rented a scary movie to watch tonight while we craft (Lakeview Terrace), and got lots of phone calls and emails from friends and family (thank you everyone!) Plus, earlier in the week, I celebrated my birthday out for dinner with me and Keith's families and our parents met each other for the first time :] Mono Convo LA & Keith: LA: I should probably start packing, eh? K: Ya. LA: HEY! I should do a fashion show for you of all my new digs! K: Definatly! LA: K, but no Nintendo (xbox) while I show you please? K: Nintendo?! What is this, 1989? The Big Birthday Giveaway Winner is... Corinne (corinneejohnson@hotmail.com)! Happy Easter everyone, see you Monday!

goodmorning

leftovers for late breakfast and milk in a measuring cup. (it's time for dishes again ;) I've been catching up on some sleep. I could tell I was running on empty, and it was obvious once i slept till 4pm yesterday and then slept another 11hours last night! I'm feeling good again, and I think I fought off an approaching cold with all that rest! Now it's time to get back to work... only 6 more days till I leave and lots to do (but it's doable!)
