like wu told me

so my dad's company got some funding that was long awaited for...so we thought he deserved a party...homemade icecream,homemade chocolate and caramel sauce and the new sale lattes bowls with some dolla dolla bills made a welcome home for him...and a very fun night...followed by some dance off 2 and money business themed pictionary  of course

also if it looks like we worship money i will politely deny that...however did ur mom teach you this song as a child?

i dont care if he's short fat or tall

i don't care if he's handsome at all

i don't care if he's drunk or corroded (?!)

just gimme a man who is

loaded with money money loaded with money

loaded with money money loaded with money

(and maybe it sounds like a russian drinking game tune)
cuz mine sure did

but what if i eat them?

that is really the only concern i have about ordering these for myself...heres the thing...i am big on smells
top five ....in no particualr order except the first one

• comet...if i didn't know from world wide web authority it would burn my insides from top to bottom i would eat it...i crave it...like throat chalking mouth watering right now just thinking of it...but for the record abhor the lemon fresh kind
• rain or pool water on pavement...preferably very parched pavement...i also love it on asphalt and hay driving through idaho during a flash storm
• the wet room in a pottery room...or the whole pottery room
• vanilla(raw), violet, roses,rose water,  patchouli...(but the good high quality patchouli oil...no incense crap...it kinda smells like raindirt...that's a word) im not gonna keep going but i could (grapefruit, sandal wood, vetiver, lavendar)
• dirt and chalkboards...i know im doomed as a pregnant lady

so any ways this is going somehwere (atleast more then my friday night apparently is) i saw these soaps and i feel like i have to have them...as in neeeed them ....
they are so clayish...in my head it will be like washing in a shower of clays and soil and i cant think of anything better (except the body scrub maile just made me but that deserves it's own post)...
i think i will buy it for myself for valentines...i deserve it...i even want to eat these pictures...i have a thing for anything crumbled...this post is leading me to believe i have an iron defficiency

 also they have all sorts of non clay and dirt ones too just if u wanted something more feminine smelling

oh and i found it here

have ambition simply to see things through

i spent new years in some crazy nice beach house holed up with jaymi watching movies eating treats and crocheting...listening to the ocean and a little bit of gossip before new years hit...can't drag that into 2011....taco helped me write my goals this year

i smotheringly love him

also i always see so many pictures i love and think are so pretty ...and although they get google stars i never really see them...so ive been printing ones i like and putting them on a clipboard to rotate...or u can make a calendar with a pretty picture a day...just something easy but brightens the day ya know?

i think it was the best night of my life

over dinner

me: i think that was the best night of my life

teen: omelette night?

me: ya

teen: ya it was the best night of our lives

•  we came home from holiday shopping( the kind where you are hiding in isles from a boy that you do not want to run into...and if you have to run into not here looking tlike this ya know?...unless he saw us then we deny it and were too busy to notice a mere ten almost run ins) and it was festive and funny
• it was raining the perfect amount
• christmas lights in my neighborhood deserve their own post
• it needs to be said that my brother in law was here...and he is a master chef...so meals between him and lori are basically the reason behind my last ten pounds

so that ground being layed....we enter the house to gourmet hot chocolate and handmade williams sonoma marshmallows...homemade caramel sauce...chocolate shavings, cayenne pepper... and the best cookies that teen still refers to as remember that cookie?

we were served this and had cozy chat (joys of being the youngest)

then we commenced to blankets and a fire and watching father of the bride two while the rain pitter pattered outhside the huge window tight next to us...ok so there wan't a fire but there could have been and it sounded good

we only made it to openning credits and when we saw the eggs baing fried in a pan realized all we needed in life was an egg treat

so my brother in law of all time made us the best "vacation omelette" egg treats we have ever had...they have to be called that because nothing is better then food on vacation and these were that good

we were then  able to enjoy the classic movie... i think they are both so funny and fall asleep to thunder and wake up sunday to a perfect cozy drizzle sabbath

** so maybe it's weird that this is like the longest post i have ever written and it's about pretty much nothing....but i know all of my close friends can seee why this is the best night....and if you dont get it....you probably never will...harsh maybe....but true friends know cozy

happy new year!

so obviously since i still haven't posted thanksgiving my bday or christmas or new years it would only make sense to sart with valentines day....i had an awful flu lat week and was layed up in bed and since christmas is over i needed a craft theme... i liked the first image i saw when i typed in vintage valentine in good ol google...cut me some slack my brain was zapped from fevers and vomit originality was not an option ...also i redrew it on brown paper thinking it'd look good w no background it didn't...and of course what's a valentines w out felt...im not sure this is my official valentine...but it's cute...and it was fun to use colored pencils

because kristine said it's cheating

so the pie and the banner i made (ok the pie i decorated mom and brother in law really made)...i mean i see banners like that all over blogs but dont really have one to site...and the birds are here ... and the ornaments are some of darci's friends here... how cute are the crochet rocks ...ive been obsessed w them ever since i bought crocheted soap...

by day

so lately by night i am a celine dion christmas album listening treat eating christmas crafter...and i feel real good about it...

most of these ideas i ripped from other blogs...and i found these cute print on tags to go w the clay ornaments me and teen stamped...to whom i owe thanks from saving me from turning country while crafting alone

i may have gotten a little excited about my nephews coming and made a little festivity for there room...i loved the birds with the letters it made it more boyish

also when not crafting i have become obsessed with organizing ...and i think egg cartons for earrings is my new favorite....i love the texture they have...and they are free with only a dozen eggs

also i would like to post links to where i ripped ideas from and got the printable ornaments...but i can't be logged into google reader and my blog at the same time...so plese dont sure me for not referencing...just teach me how to fix that problem instead? thanks

i couldn't pick a favorite rap b-day lyric...so go ahead and pick yours

i thought these were very appropriate alomost bday pictures...apparently my brother and i had no shame of stealing other peoples bday wishes...and it got kinda cut off but his cheeks were definately puffed in the first one also

26...kinda freaking out...not quite ready for this one

my ages keep coming despite the fact i haven't quite caught up with where i think i should be with them

also these pictures made me realize my bday wish this year would be to please have my 5 year old nose back...please...

stick a cork in it

so i got a cork baord in jr high....and now instead of being covered in collages its covered in necklaces...cuz im kinda a jewelry freak and hate tangled jewelry

but then i got over it so i sprayed the cork with wall texture (orange peel)

 

and then i made some wood push pins...as in i sawed off branches in the trail behind my house and lori came home to a mad woman in sweats and crazy hair running around with a saw (if u know me well you know exactly what this looked like...)

then i superglued myself to myself...

luckily my sister and brother in law were on the phone and googled me loose...i had glued fingers together before and didn't really think it worked...im a believer now

and voila...end product... i think it makes the wall look so much cleaner...and i like that it looks like wall too

also sara updated this blog for me so i could do larger pictures unfortunately i am and 80 year old when it comes to computer skills and lost half the pics i wanted and can't move a thing around...sorry

the club can't even handle me right now

do you ever get anxiety and feel like you can't post anything for like half a month? ya me neither...but here's some of halloweens highlights:

face painting...the boys stuck with the same ones i posted earlier

spooky fog machine

and handing out candy to the trickers and treaters

dinner place settings

the boys made ghosts we hung all over the room ceilings...and a black and orange balloon mass but i forgot to photo it

lots of pumpkin patch visits...they are like mini fairs and i love them...and it makes me miss living in a small town

me and teen partied it up...or just got ready and took pics and made some drop ins to validate the get ups...and if you can guess what we are you are officially smarter than anyone in Huntington beach

and since michael is doing the candy deal (they get 100 dollars for one year of no candy) we had to find a new way of overloading on sugar and treats this year...all homemade sweet goodness...which means i think it's practically health food...i mean a homemade donut has to be healthier then store bought right??

whats spookier then homemade antelope jerky? not sure but it's pretty tasty

i wasn't the only one excited for the sweets
