I've decided.

Boys are stupid.
They are all enternally retarded and ghey.

All of them.

I'm still trying to figure out why we love them so much.

I think Kathleen is playing favorites.

I'm just sayin'.

Things to shout about. How cliche.

I do not know what this entry will be about,
I know only that I must say things,

and there is no one to listen.


I am sitting at work.
I shouldn't be writing,
I should be working,
but I am terribly, terribly tired of work,
and things that don't matter,
and I am twiddling my thumbs,
waiting for CSU to decide wether or not they want me.

It's possible that they would have already decided,
but I haven't had time to turn in my GED yet,
so who knows if they've even begun.

It is very difficult to get paperwork to the Registrar's office when you get off work at 4:30pm and the office closes at 5:00pm...and you are 20 minutes away.

No one likes the girl who shows up at closing time asking to be helped.

I feel so......strangled.

Not enough time to do anything important,
and the money I'm making seems to dwindle away before I even receive it.

I want to scream.


Dan and I are having dinner tonight with a couple that he met through a band or a venue or something. They are very interesting, fun people, and I've been around them and talked to them loads of times, but I am nervous. The little pod of Buvy that sits in the back of my brain and sprouts a new leaf everytime I come in contact with anything requiring manners is telling me to bake cookies or something to take, which I will do.....



after work, of course.
And hope I get it done in time.

But I can only hope that the evening will be fun,
and not just awkward.

Why do I still feel like a kid playing dress up when I do these things?

I am stepping out my shell though,
and not even admitting to being nervous.

It usually quells most of the inner shakes I get from going new places,
and no one ever really knows just how nervous I am.


I am very good at that game.


I should at least have a new vest to wear,
because the package I ordered from Forever 21 should be here very soon...
It is grey and pretty and will make me feel better (the vest, not the package).

As new things always do.


I'll be sure and let you (yes, you, non-exisistant reader) know how it goes.



It will be fine.
I know this.

Kathleen is Genius.

Only she could take a frump of a sack,
and turn it into an adorable dress.
AND you're letting one of us win it?

I cower in your creative shadow.
Well done.



Summer of 69 Thrift Store Refashion Frock GIVEAWAY!!!!

It's like battleship.

If callers only knew they could push one button higher

to reach my boss instead of her secretary, they'd be livid.

They said A4 instead of A3 and it's a giant MISS.

I love my job.

I don't know about you but....

The resemblance is just a little too uncanny for my taste.

I'm just sayin'.

Another fantastic thing from Grosgrain!

Grosgrain is giving away an adorable necklace from Muntedkowhai (from Etsy),
called the "Corran" (picture #1 below).
Her necklaces are so lovely.

I, once again, just have to say it....
Asians do it better.

Muntedkowhai%Necklace GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

"A bit of lite reading."

I just finished reading a series of books for the second time.
Seeing as how I re-realized (:P) how great they are,

I wanted to share them with whoever's out there.

If you're into sci-fi, and don't mind a bit of younger characters,
these books are fantastic.
Super entertaining,
a completely original concept,
you just can't put them down.

I recommend you go buy or borrow all four of them.



Happy reading :)

So....

I'm trying to get me a laptop for school,
but I need help.

It's going to take 20 people signing up and completing an offer to make it happen.
You know you wanna help me ;)

Just click...

If you're skeptical,
you can check it out on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freepay
It's been on CNN and everything.

I'm being inspired.

This makes me want to sew things.
I think we both need a sewing machine.

We'll make things and wear them and feel pretty...

but until then,
there is, of course, Grosgrain :)

I give you...
The Paper Crane Frock:


I am crossing all of my fingers and toes for this one.

Next payday that I actually have money left over to spend....



I am in love with the fantastic prices, and beautiful patent leather.

Cinnamon Sticks GUEST GROSGRAIN GIVEAWAY!!!!

And another.....
Cinnamon Sticks GUEST GROSGRAIN GIVEAWAY!!!!

Not sure if this one is even still going,
but this jewelry is very interesting and looks like it can be customized.



I think I'm going to use this blog more often.
This is fun.

Baggu Grosgrain Guest GIVEAWAY!!!!

Sooooo.....I've been watching this one blog for a while now, SaraSophia turned me onto it and I have to tell you, this girl just makes me jealous. She's a fantastic seamstress, an amazing photographer and just all around adorable.
She does giveaways on the things she makes/gets and I've finally decided to enter one.....

I give you... The Baggu Grosgrain Guest GIVEAWAY!!!!



The bags are just adorable AND ecofriendly.
They come in lots of colors, but the grey is my favorite.
