This is how we do...

Ryan and I are at the Training Table tonight for our date. The best part is that we are both just playing on our phones and not talking to each other. I love technology.

I'm domestic and this is proof!

Here is the apron I made for myself out if the same fabrics I made my sister Kims Christmas present with. Hers is a little different but I think I like hers better. Oh well!

Hey! Guess What!!!

Yup, I'm a college Grad

It took me 8 years to get a worthless degree (three of them used by deciding what I actually wanted to get the worthless degree in) and a C average... BUT I did it! And I'm done forever! Nobody has to worry about me going back to get a masters. Unless I'm a grandma and get really bored with my life, and don't want to spend time with my aged husband....

Thanks to my family for the AWESOME cookie bouquet! 

Saturday Night

So I don't know what happened to me, but I recently got obsessed with sewing, quilts, fabric, and handmade junk.... I found this website: etsy.com where you can find all sorts of handmade things around the world. I basically just spent the last three hours looking up all different things that I would LOVE to buy myself but can't justify and I thought I would share them with you. 

First, this adorable onesie by rainbowswirlz

and that got me searching for some more really cute onesies so I found this one from urchanuprising

And if you can't tell I'm on a total skulls kick and I saw this scarf that totally reminded me of my sister by rainbowswirlz again: 

And last but not least I found these SWEET belt buckles and necklaces from bykali that I love. 

This is one of her(?) necklaces but she has some really cool belt buckles too. Basically everyone should check out etsy.com and find really cute handmade and original things to buy. I found a lot of fantastic jewelry but I'm far too tired to cut and paste that many items.

Thanks for reading...

*** and by the way... blogger.com is REALLY irritating..

Friday Night:

I really don't even know how we have clothes to wear at this point. Our laundry has gotten a little out of hand... And the best part is? We still have a ton of shirts left in the closet that we could pull from. Ryan admitted we have a problem and agreed to finally DI some of his stuff. I on the other hand, can't seem to let go of some of my 'skinny' shirts in the hope that one day I will finally fit in to them again. 

And I lost the cord to my other camera and now don't have the ability to transfer my pictures from Boston (lame). So we had a ton of fun, but you don't get to see the evidence!

I did it!!!

Okay, I didn't really. But at least I know what I would look like if I decided too.

And now I know that I would look REALLY hot if I did this! 

Thanks to taaz.com for the free virtual makeover!!

This is what happens....

When you are supposed to be studying, but you have a REALLY short attention span....

Story: Ryan and I went to St. George with some people last weekend for my birthday and apparently when someone turns 26, they also decide they want to be really girly from then on. Amy, Wendi and I went to Sephora while down in Las Vegas and I discovered that I wanted to take make up more seriously, or at least start doing something other than the neutral tones I've used for (seriously) the last 10 years. While at the store I got my make up done by a VERY 'done up' male artist who convinced me to go purple. After I got the help with applying it I thought I looked terrifying, but Amy and Wendi assured me that it looked really good and subtle so I went on with my day. When we met up with Ryan again he didn't notice any change, which was a good thing, but when I finally told him and closed my eyes so he could see it his reaction was "eeeegggggh" which was really helpful. He just doesn't like any change though, so I don't feel too bad about it. Anyways, for some reason I suddenly want to buy make up all the time... it's weird I know. I've gone the last 26 years of my life, not caring about makeup in ANY way other than sure, I'll wear whatever Britney tells me too. But now I want to try all sorts of different things. I'm pretty sure if I tried anything too outlandish, Ryan would divorce me, so my options are limited. 

While we were in St. George the dogs almost died... well, sort of.  The girls were out shopping and Ryan was at home playing xbox when I got a frantic call from Ryan saying the dogs had eaten rat poison and he was taking them to the vet. I asked him if he wanted me to come home and he said it would be nice, but I got to thinking what would be the purpose? He wanted me to come home and just wait to hear if they are going to die or not? I'd rather just stay out shopping and not think about it... Does that make me heartless? In the end the vet found absolutely NO rat poison in their stomachs after he had induced vomiting on them. Ryan said they found a bird feather in Karl along with some weird dark red bits that he couldn't identify. Later that night I walked outside and was calling Karl but he was still hiding in the bushes. He usually comes running to the door when we walk out so I searched around a bit for him and found him gnawing  on half of a bird... that explained the feather and dark read guts in his stomach from earlier. I almost vomited and he just kept running from me knowing full well that if I caught him with the bird I was taking it away. So Karl got away with eating a dead bird, which hasn't killed him yet so I think we're in the clear.
