puzzles & such
A couple of days ago we passed a homeless man on the side of the road, with his dog. We were stopped at the light and Chase asked if I had any cash – I didn’t. A few weeks ago Chase cleaned out my car, and put all of my change in my cup holders (I don’t have a change…

New Year’s Eve
Cleaning up Christmas decorations today, and going to eat at my fav place tonight!! (Melting Pot) And then friends coming over later tonight 🙂 I’ve been trying to use my tumblr more lately. As you can see I’ve had it since Nov 2009 and have hardly messed with it. Trying to post more – mostly random stuff off my flickr…

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…

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…

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…

colorforms
“Shrinkydinks” were just mentioned on my twitter – I had a few of those, but what I really loved were my Colorforms. I can’t find pics of the She-Ra or Rainbow Brite sets I had. Those were so awesome… but I found a pic of Smurfs set I had. Man… I know they’re still in my parent’s attic, but that’s…

Food I Don’t Like
1. Pizza I grew up in the “OMG PIZZA” crazy 80s when every kid wanted to eat pizza non-stop because of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I mean seriously, every class party or post-sporting event… pizza. Usually Pizza Hut. Even then I didn’t care all that much for it but I ate it because it was cool, because the Turtles…

come to the dark sides, what’s up with cookies
Am I the only person who doesn’t get the whole “Come to the dark side, we have cookies” thing? I mean the first two or three times I heard it, it was kinda cute. Not really worth repeating. But I hear people say it alllll the time, it’s on like 30 different shirts. Why? I just don’t get the why…

computers & movies
Yesterday I finally got some new RAM for my computer which needed it BADLY. I got to enjoy it for about an hour this morning – Chase let Windows do its updates (which I never let it) when he installed the RAM, and so I think it was still installing stuff while I was gone all day. I get home…

i hate tile
This is going to sound weird but I really hate tile. I mean like tile on the floor, like kitchen or bathroom floors. It just grosses me out for some reason. It goes back to when I was little, and I would stay with my grandparents every day while my parents were at work, and my grandma’s kitchen was this…

sex with what?
So I’m filling out my medical history for my doctor’s appointment today, and I get to this: Do you smoke? _______ Do you consume alcohol? __________ Do you do illegal drugs? ___________ Do you have sex with men? __________ Wait, what? I’ve seen the “do you have sex” one before, but… so specific? But wait it gets better, because after…

whee… c5 and a video
got home from work today and felt like crap. Felt like I had a migraine coming on, so I took some medicine and laid down. Ate dinner, then rode my bike for about 15 minutes. I feel better – still really tired, but my head feels ok. I’m hoping it stays that way, I really don’t want a migraine this…

got nothing done today
I got nothing done yesterday. Went to church, went to lunch, was tired so I took a nap… I got up and did a little hand-sewing, but then decided I wanted to do that particular piece a different way so I ripped it all off. Then I played Lego Harry Potter with Kevin, we went to eat dinner, came home…

the past two days have been weird.
Sorry guys, no art post today. Haven’t had time! But I would like to post about yesterday and today. They’ve been interesting. I’m going to cut it up into segments. 1. So yesterday morning, Nana tells me they found a snake in the garage. She touched it, thinking it was a bungee cord, before she realised it was a giant…

71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs
Did a quick count off the top of my head, and that’s what I came up with. 71 pairs of shoes, 53 wigs. Stupid shoes. Stupid wigs. Having issues with fitting everything right now. Or, rather, finding places for everything. Really it’s not so much MY costumes. All of mine would fit just fine in that closet with no issues.…

Helping Out
Copied from Chase: Our friends Ryan and Spaz had the 1st floor of their home wiped out during the Nashville flood this weekend. Ryan is ok as he was out of town over the weekend when the downpour came, but he was only able to get to his house today (Monday) to assess the damage. He had 5 feet or…

exhausted
I didn’t post yesterday at all! I was just exhausted yesterday, mentally and physically. It was a push to get myself to sew last night… I feel like I’m beating my head against the wall with these costumes and it’s just so tiring and depressing. so here’s a sketch… I have no idea. I know I drew it in the…

yuck yuck yuck
today was pretty icky. My migraine was still hanging in there, but my nausea was off the charts and I almost went home after lunch. But I hung in there… got home and took a little nap. Then Chase took a face cast of me for my Ms Marvel mask, which actually felt really good on my headache LOL and…
