Numero Dos

I mentioned before that I ordered some new fabrics. I got them from Quilt Home which delivered them super quick, which totally made the whole buying experience even better. I am madly in love with the all the pinks and browns. A little sneak peak of some of the fabrics I plan to use for quilt numero dos:

And I've had a little secret. Matt and I have moved. Temporarily back to VA. This is what our place looked like a few weeks ago. Total chaos. Boxes everywhere. Weird things laying around, like snowboarding bindings, a lonely bike helmet, and my beloved Wii. I'm sad we left, but I am happy the move is over. Now, we are looking forward to our next move. Which at this point is TBD. We're thinking maybe to the big city. Or maybe west coast. Or maybe farther. Time will tell. Now it is just a waiting game.


If you need my new address for any reason, please just hit me up with an email.

Everyone have a great weekend! Live it up while you still can.

Goodbye Heath

I was very saddened to hear about the death of Heath Ledger. He was so young. And so talented. And I just feel so bad for his daughter who will never really get to know her father.

And in my attempts to lighten up this tragic day, a funny scrappy about my boy Lou. Makes me giggle every time I see it.

One Seventeen Oh Eight

It snowed, people. Yeah, that white powder stuff that is essential for us snowboarders. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to grab my board. But it did cause some insane traffic. Always fun...NOT.

But I do have to admit it was pretty to photograph. And pretty to look at from my bedroom window. I wished it snowed more here. But then again, DC area drivers suck. So I take back my last comment.

And because I haven't scrapped (or shall I say posted) in a LONG time, here are some pages that kinda just came together this afternoon. Super easy and super quick. Continuing my "less is more" style in 2008.

Who else is excited that LOST starts in two weeks. Um, can I get a hell yeah!

Fabric Happy

So......I asked my sister, to ask my cousin, to tell her parents, to get me Guitar Hero for my birthday. Well, either they didn't get the memo, or they just couldn't find it. So they got me cash instead. Which, was totally fine by me. Cash rules, dudes.

So......instead of rocking out to some Aerosmith and perhaps a little Pat Benatar, I decided to go a little fabric happy online today. It is now safe to say that that there is definitely a quilt numero dos in the near future. If only you knew how extremely giddy with excitement I am right now! New fabric makes me happy. And so does birthday money.

I'm out, yo. Off to Cosi to snag my favorite salad for lunch.

10 Years Ago Today...

This was me. On my Sweet 16 Birthday.
And yes, I'm rocking a sweater vest!
And a full set of braces. hehe.

I found this picture last night and I just found it to be so fitting considering I am TEN years older today. I still remember that day. I got balloons and cards from my friends. Roses from my boyfriend at the time. And new clothes from my mom. Not to mention that sweeeet cake.

But today I turn 26 (um, how did that happen?). And there will be no party. And no balloons. Just ice cream cake around 7 with the fam. Looking forward to a low key day, away from my horrid cubicle.

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my bestest friend and birthday twin Molly Shields. =)

p.s. Kla, you made my day with the daily page. Loves you!

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday:

• I woke up at 4am.
• I turned in a very big project at work
• I had Chinese food for lunch
• I went to Paper Source and stocked up on labels
• I ran into Elise who was rocking a straight haired look
• I went to happy hour at Bangkok Joe's
• It rained, and it made me feel happy.

Today:

• I hit snooze about a kagillion times
• I considered calling out sick.
• I fought with Matt before 7am. Not fun.
• I will finalize my birthday plans.
• I will babysit three of my favorite girls.
• I will contemplate faking sickness around 1pm.
• I will do my daily page.

Tomorrow:

• I will sleep in and enjoy a peaceful morning.
• I will be happy to not be sitting in a cubicle all day.
• I will finish updating my resume. Ugh.
• I will workout (if I can find the energy and drive).
• I will watch Disk 7 of Lost Season 3. Farewell Charlie.
• I will mail out some fun packages to my craftly ladies.

So lovely it's Friday. Here's hoping my weekend is productive and that yours is fun and relaxing.

Is it bad...

...that I'm starting to get sick and I don't really care. I have a runny nose, lots of sinus pressure, a small cough, and a never ending headache. And all I can think about is that if I get sick enough, then I can (legitimately) call out sick from work for a few days this week. Apparently I hate my job SO much that I rather be sick and at home, then well and at work.

I've decided that my word for 2008 is going to be:

FINISH

I love to start projects, scrap pages, blog entries, marathon training, healthy eating plans, mini books (you get the point) and then I never FINISH what I started. I've had this problem all my life. And I have to stop blaming it on my severe A.D.D. This year, my motto will be "don't start it, if you can't finish it."

On that note. This blog entry is finished.

FINALLLLYYY!!

I FINALLY finished my quilt. And I made it just in time to win the bet. The last two days I spent on this thing were brutal....but it was totally worth it. My mom was incredibly impressed, my sister said it wasn't "grandma" like most quilts (haha), and Matt thought it looked professionally made. I was so happy THEY liked it because it is their opinions I value the most. Even my boy Louie loved it:

And FINALLY...I posted the rad banner that Stacey made me. I've been meaning to post it since November..... But no computer meant I had no editing software, which meant, I had no way to shrink it to size, which meant I couldn't post it.... UNTIL NOW!! So whooo hooo to FINALLY having a cool ass banner, courtesy of one the sweetest girls I know.

Off to watch last night's DVRed epi of Gossip Girl.
