Farewell Blogger

Dear Blogger,

It was fun while it lasted.
Thanks for recording my memories for the last 1.3 years.
I will be HERE if you would like to join me on my new blog adventure.
Until we meet again,

Natalie

It's all about the outfit

Today, I will go with a classy look.
Houndstooth coat, skinny jeans, patent leather flats.

Tomorrow, I will be rocking a completely different look.
Mini skirt, leggings, and high heels.
I will be dressing up for a concert with my girls.
I would tell you which one, but that would ruin the pictures I will post on Monday.
Everyone have a good weekend!

Lost = Good

I guess it is only fair that I share who I think the Oceanic 6 are. I think it will be:

Kate
Jack
Hurley
Sawyer
Claire
Sayid

Ok, so I just threw Sayid on the list because I didn't know who else to say. But I do believe that perhaps it could be Ben (although he is NOT technically an Oceanic survivor). I have always thought it was Ben in that coffin. And so does my cousin Michelle (who I religiously exchange LOST emails with). For some reason I've always thought Claire was getting off. Maybe because of the baby. Maybe because she's pretty. I don't know. I just have a feeling.

So last night's episode started out kinda bleh to me. I guess the character development of the four who landed on the island kinda confused me at first. But then when they showed the skinny, tall, creepy looking "lawyer" dude who visited Hurley in the looney house talking to Naomi I got so excited! And the part where Ben tries to kill the English lady...so baller! I knew she wasn't dead. I do seem to like her for some reason. She intrigues me. And the ending was so good. Who knew that little old Henry Gale was going to turnout to have such a huge role in all this drama! I love it. And next week we find out another member of the Oceanic 6....eeek, can't wait!

It's friday, bitches! Whoo! I have a big, crazy, jam-packed weekend ahead of me. Game night, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, driving to Jersey for a concert (which I will disclose later), etc. I might collapse by the time Monday rolls around. Have a good weekend ya'll (I learned that word in Dallas, hehe)!

eta: Do you think that perhaps the lawyer dude was from Dharma and now they are after Ben for killing all their people. But, how would they have known that? And why would it have taken then like 20 years to come after him? Hmmmm.

Happiness Is:

Happiness Is:

• Game Night with my girls on Friday
• Scrapbowl next weekend
• Thursday night Lost episodes
• Emails with my cousin Michelle
• Going to visit my sister in Spain in April
• Having a regular workout schedule
• My Italian word-a-day calendar
• An assortment of colored Sharpies
• Sending fun surprise packages in the mail
• New patent leather high heels for work
• Finding funny valentine's day cards at Target
• Playing Rock Band in Best Buy with Matt
• Taking self portraits with my brother, and then scrapping about it. Like so:

That's all for now. Happy Lost Day everyone! Any guesses on who the Oceanic 6 are?

Ahhh, the Superbowl

Ok, so Superbowl Sunday is one of my top 3 days of the year. Next to Fourth of July and my birthday. Ha. I just love football. I'm a total dude like that. And last night's game did not disappoint. So killer. The Giants were amazing. What a fantastic 4th quarter. I'm still shocked with the results, and even though I love me some Tom Brady, I am so happy for the Giants.


Only bad part of the night: the commercials. WTF. They sucked. All except the Doritos mouse trap one. And perhaps, the Buuuuud Light one. Hehe, just LOLed thinking about them.


I am even more sick than I was Saturday. Did manage to scrap it up. The rest of the layouts are on SIS. Too lazy to post. Off to drink some hot tea, and head to Target. One is never too sick to go to Target, right?

Hello Past

Back from Dallas.
Feeling very sick.
And for real this time.
Refusing to rest.
Cleaning my room instead.
Finding clothes from highschool.
And some from my early college days.
Trying them on.
Feeling fat.
I can't button the jeans.
But happy that they go up 92% of the way.
Finding jewelry galore.
And funny pics.
Embarrassing ones, in fact.
I would post them but my self esteem issues from 7th grade might surface again.

That's all for now.

P.S. I'm moving blogs soon.
Very soon. Stay tuned.

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.
