    2010 wrap up…. 2011 plans

    (I realize I have this post on my blog basically twice – but one version was imported over from livejournal and I wanted to preserve it and its comments. This version is the livejournal post.) I can’t believe 2010 is already over. Seems like just a few weeks ago I posted my 2010 plans. I didn’t do very well in…

    Merry Christmas 2010, a week later

    Sorry I haven’t posted since last week! Obviously Christmas kept me busy, and then it was back to work. I have the next two days, the weekend, and Monday off. I’m super excited about that. I’m staying home, chilling, doing some artwork, some puzzles and some sewing. So here’s the recap. Friday was Christmas with the bigger side of my…

    My fav photos of 2010

    I don’t think I did a Year in Photos last year. Maybe I did, I’m too lazy to look. But I went through and added my favourite pictures from this year to a flickr set. I’m not going to post them all here, but here’s a sampling. In January I went to New York… In February I made a snowman…

    Christmas Shopping

    We’ve been busy! Friday night after work, we went out to eat and then ran over to Oak Court mall. I’ve always loved that mall but we don’t get over there very often. We had 2 things on the agenda: christmas presents, and also, new clothes for Chase. He’s wanting to get a few more “professional” looking things, for lack…

    christmas meme!

    1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? I don’t really care for hot chocolate, but since I’ve never had eggnog, I’ll have to go with hot chocolate. 2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? When I as little Santa sat them under the tree. Now we wrap everything unless it’s too big. (No kids to surprise.) 3.…

    thanks for the help, facebook

    My flickr posts aren’t posting on my facebook anymore, and with the new profile I can’t figure out where to look to see what’s going on. So I headed to the facebook help section, and this is what I find: “Flickr stories are no longer importing to my Wall. Some users are finding that Flickr stories are no longer importing…

    Sewing room + hogwarts robe

    my office is back to being clean after finishing Kevin’s christmas present (outside of attaching the patch.) It went so quick! I’m really pleased with it. And then Chase hung a few things up in my office – the 2 Adam Hughes prints he got me for my birthday a few years ago, and my Mike Mayhew Ms Marvel sketch…

    snape, snape, severus snape

    Last night Chase & I had a date night, went out to eat, and finally saw Harry Potter. I know, I waited long enough, right? It was great. Admittedly I have not read Deathly Hallows since the day it came out (stayed up all night and read it in one go) so I don’t have a great idea of how…

    my workspaces over the years

    I was cutting fabric on the floor of my office last night, and it got me thinking of my old workspace at my parent’s house (where I had a table to cut fabric). I thought I’d post them all. From 2001-2008 I worked out of the dining room at my parent’s house. I took it over! (sorry mom) I don’t…

    Kevin’s Fairy Tale Theater

    Today at work I was sleepy and told Kevin to tell me some stories to keep me awake. He kept stalling and saying he “couldn’t remember” so I just kept pushing him and telling him to make it up if he didn’t remember. This is what he came up with. Kevin’s “The Little Mermaid”: There was a little mermaid named…

    Sewing Room updates

    I worked on my office last night, mostly organizing my patterns. I had too many that were in large ziplock baggies so I spent the evening squishing pattern pieces into my usual smaller baggies. Then I put them all away in my new bench! They didn’t all fit, though 🙁 But I got the majority of them in there. They…

    Decorating & Christmas shopping

    Friday night Chase and I decorated the house. Chase put up the tree while I put out everything else, we had Elf on the TV and I baked some cookies. It was fun 🙂 Here’s a few crappy cell phone pics. Not a lot new on the tree this year. Nothing geeky (didn’t see any we had to have from…

    jerkwad puzzle

    So now that the coke puzzle is done, it’s moved off the table and I opened up this thing: I have NO IDEA how long I’ve had this puzzle. Years. Probably since the OT was rereleased in the theaters – 97? (yep, just went and looked and it’s from 1997). I must have picked it up at the comic book…

    Coca-cola puzzle!

    This one went WAY too fast. But I like it a lot, I think we’re going to put it up in the hall bathroom after I glue it. I don’t really have anything else to talk about. Decorating the house tomorrow, christmas shopping this weekend… yay 🙂 I’ve uploaded some old videos to youtube, they’re all from like 2004-2006 because…

    I put Donna Troy & Sleeping Beauty up today: I’m a little annoyed that people are IGNORING my puzzle pics on flickr, and instead looking at and commenting on stupid costume pics! So here, LOOK at my puzzle pics!!!!!!! Man I can’t believe people aren’t going crazy over these puzzle pics. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. I am thankful for my husband,…
