Crrrreeepy...

This great site Picnik let's you upload and adjust your photos for free. Con and I had a ton of fun. Here are some of the before and afters...

I'm the Indian. That's the costume I made.

He wanted to be a zombie. What can I say? *shrug*

Camera Tag

"Mom! I can't... I can't get up the stairs." I came down to find Jamie like this. So I grabbed my camera :)

He, of course, gets ups and runs away and the game begins.

This is where I find him :)

The Chair

I've had this chair forever. It was old when I got it and a hideous puke green color. I had always planned on reupholstering it but had no idea how to even begin. So it sat in my room for ages with a sheet or blanket thrown over it. It was old and ugly but it was the most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat in. Over the years it was eventually placed in my moms basement where it sat until one day it flooded and the chair got moldy. Ewww…. Outside it went. The plan was to take it apart and have the pieces hauled off in the trash. The plan partially worked. As you can see the outside was stripped off. I’m not sure why I love taking pictures of chair bones but I do. I think it’s beautiful, charming, and full of character. I hope that’s what people say about me when I’m old and moldy.

Look familiar? ---->

Flannel Shirt and Riding Boot Obsession

It happened when the weather started getting a bit colder, this strange obsession with flannel shirts and riding boots. I’m totally in love with them. After going years without even thinking about flannel shirts, I now catch myself thinking longingly about getting more. (I’ve picked up a couple this year and am desperate to expand my collection) I’ve gone so far as to ask my dad for his old ones. Unlike me, he never stopped wearing them. I want to make them into a dress… Not exactly sure how that will go but I plan on giving it a whirl. Riding boots, on the other hand, are new to me. I’ve never owned a pair and really, really want to. I started a riding boot fund and so far have 50 cents. It’s a work in progress.

These are the boots from Anthropologie I'm savin' my pennies for

I just love this whole outfit! Check it out here

Fall Awesomeness

All day yesterday I was working on my Halloween costume. I was an Indian. (I'll put a picture up when I find one I like) As part of my costume I made a headband and necklace. I LOVE the necklace!!! I'm ALL about copper, turquoise, and feathers!!!

Today was beautiful! I couldn’t help but take some fall appreciation pictures of my back yard.

Google

I don't even know why I just did this but I totally googled myself. Ha! I thought that this was by far the coolest.

Betcha didn't know that about me. I'm totally an actress... in my dreams maybe. Only, after finding this out the other stuff wasn't nearly as cool. There was a blog, a myspace, a twitter page, and a facebook that was soooo not me, UCLA faculty, owner of a musical productions company, and just a ton of other people living their life with my name.

Is it weird that you're not the only you? There are a bunch of other people out there, right now, with your name. I'm not gonna lie, it's got me a bit freaked out. I find it cool and creepy all at the same time.

Check this out: according to How Many of Me there are 18 people in the U.S. with my name. On Wink there are 91 listings of me. Well, not me but my name that I share, with other people...

NaNoWriMo

I was freaking out the other day about NaNoWriMo starting again and I swear the cosmos acknowledged this and I got 2 emails about it!!! Ahhh!!! And I still haven’t started… I’m a die-hard procrastinator. I encourage everyone to try. Click here if you wanna take the plunge. It’s actually a ton of fun. Now, I'm off to play with the boys...
