Ed got on a Kindle2 kick and was sure that I needed one...no no he didn't want to buy it for me, he wanted me to buy it for myself...

We'll set aside a little savings fund for it. I'll tell you what you pay for half I'll pay for the other half...
I'd rather have another Blythe...
But you might not like Blythe in another month, you'll always like reading...
If I still like Blythe in a month can I get another one...
Yes...


Haha yeah, but now he's read a couple not so good reviews and we checked to see if I could pirate any books I'd want and there's not much, besides NO back light! Are you shitting me?! A new model without the improvement of a backlight!! I read in bed SON! In the dark!! Pfffft I'll wait for Kindle3 or a sweet knock off.


That's it for today, my body is trying to get sick :(

P.S. This made me so happy :D

Meme and this weekend

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

From: Uomodo
candy- ?! Because I'm so sweet right....or is it cuz I'm fat?! Really I dunno how to elaborate on this one cuz I don't get it.

oh hey! I didn't see you there- The first of our youtube videos when we were on a kick. We had so much fun making that and were so from laughing watching it repeatedly after it was finished. I only regret seeing myself on the toilet if we're watching it in front of someone.

plushies- It's what I do, my passion I guess. I never would have though that sewing toys would be what I would be good at and really enjoy or that I would be making my living doing it, but it's awesome and I love it.

lips- I guess they're kind of full, but I don't really notice them anymore, I think my face has grown into them and I don't have braces anymore making them any bigger. I got braces on my first day of middle school so you can imagine the teasing, not about the braces but my lips...I was asked questions where the other kid was totally serious such as," are you half black" and "do you have lip implants"....

forest creatures- I do love them, some of my favorite creatures to sew reside in the forest :)

From: _pinkandblack_

Hello Kitty- I looove hello kitty. I love Sanrio in general but Hello Kitty has stayed my favorite. I got my first Sanrio thing in 5th grade from a girl at school, it was a Spotty Dottie color change pen. It was so cute I loved it! I fell in love with lots of the characters, every other month or so my mom would give me $50 to go crazy in Sanrio. I remember being on a pippo kick and bad badtz maru that lasted awhile. I think I love Hello Kitty so much because she just makes me happy to look at. I don't covet everything with her on it but I love to have her on my pajamas mostly and just little things<3


Sea Horses- I do love sea horses, they've always reminded me of Ed. I was going to get him one for one of our earlier anniversary's but I found out they're super delicate and it didn't seem like a great investment. I do love to sew them though :)

the color blue- I love blue, it's not my favorite color but I'm drawn to buying blue clothes and in my fleece collection blue is what I have the most different shades of.

lip piercings- I have my lip pierced again after a few years. The first time I had it for close to a year i think but them took it out because putting the clear thing in for my job was becoming a hassle and it was starting to hurt. Before that I had the left side pierced too and was planning on getting the right side done, but it wouldn't heal, it was done too close to my lip and hurt all the time.

Etsy!- Thank god for Etsy! I'm pretty sure I found out about it through a livejournal community but I cant remember exactly how. I signed up in august of 2006 and I've loved it ever since. Being on Etsy has definitely motivated me to keep sewing. Seeing those sale emails is one of the best feelings in the world, knowing that people connect to something I've made and want to own it or think it's the perfect gift for a loved on is just awesome :D

Acacia started getting interested in what I was doing :)

We found a dead bug. Acacia was explaining that his body isn't working :)

Hole in the wall ;)

She's microscopic!

Eli , January

This pic was taken last month, he's bigger now and his hair is even lighter. How on Earth did we get blessed with these babies?! We have so many conversations now about how it wouldn't make sense for us to have kids, because we wouldn't have anytime for Acacia and Eli, we would have to get a babysitter so we could spend time with them. I can't wait till Eli's big enough to come out with us<3

If I could have anything in the WHOLE world!!




It's true. I have always wanted a dog and someday maybe I'll get one. I loooove standard poodles! It seems like a lot of people don't but I doubt those people have been around any. When I was a groomer they were my favorite. They are sooo sweet and smart<3 Someday...

Vday tattoos!

So Chris forgot that I wanted the other stuff with the machine and thought that I did not want a pin cushion, but that's ok cuz I got the whole machine finished today. The only thing that needs fixed is the knob, it looks like a cat eye! But other than that I love it<3

Ed is getting his spaces fill with with his mechanical stuff. It's going to look awesome when it's all done. He's going back in on his birthday next month, I think I'll wait to get anything else for awhile though and I'm thinking about getting the center of my lip re-pierced. I feel like I should take advantage of not having a day job more :)


We had a good day, got to visit with Acacia for a bit before we saw Friday the 13th. It was so disappointing though, they didn't do a damn thing with it :/ and besides all the people texting,etc. There was a woman in front of us with 2 young kids, I mean young, one of em was 4 and he kept asking questions. SO SO SO inappropriate, way to scar your child. Ed was afraid I was gonna let her have it, but I didn't. I did ask her if she knew what movie she was in when they were sitting down....ugh what's wrong with people?!! I would have liked to have left and got our money back, it was a little hard to watch it knowing everything I'm seeing these poor kids are seeing....but meh Ed wanted to stay, so happy valentines day!! :D

Happy Friday the 13th ya'll!!




We went to WW this afternoon. We waited till today cuz pretty much it was the only free time Ed had when The lady I like would be working. It was so nice having Ed there and he liked it too so that was awesome, I was worried right before we went that he wouldn't like it and wouldn't come back. I think we're going to do really well. I'm surprised that I lost any weight at all because I know I had gained since I last went in the beginning of January, and Ed has lost since he weight last week at the Dr.'s office. So looking on the bright side, a small loss but at least I didn't maintain or gain.

My goal this week will be to stick to my points obviously and get as much movement in as possible. I want us both to have big losses this week!!

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Our plans tomorrow are to get some tattoos! I'll be getting an outline of a sewing machine,pin cushion, measuring tape to fill in my left arm and Ed will be getting a section of his arm filled in with his mechanical illustrations. If there's time left I'd either like a bit of color added, go over my lil e behind me ear with black and a clearer font, or d.i.y somewhere on my sleeve. Then dinner and possibly the new jason movie, we'd see it tonight but I am not a fan of crowded theaters :x

Things

I think it was Thursday that I got this treasure in the mail from SkunkBoyCreatures. I absolutely love it, what really sold me was the "paw leaf"!

Skunk Boy Creatures

On Saturday we got a late start, B and L were both late!! I should have known :) Any who we had a delicious brunch at Zachary's and then hit the fabric store. I love hanging out with Lauren and getting to talk about plush and the "scene". I never get to talk about it with someone who knows exactly what's up and where I'm coming from so that's really nice. Me and L made shrinky dinks while B fooled around with some crochet.

Lauren's shrinky dink!

I was so frustrated last night with food, weight, etc. I got the bright idea that if Ed joined WW with me maybe it would be a really good thing for both of us. I definitely know it would make us take it a lot more seriously, but I was afraid to ask for fear that he would say no. So I asked....and he said he would! Whatever would help me, because he sees me giving up, which is true 95% of the time I just think oh well this is my body now, but I'm no happy or comfortable with it :/

So yeah, this is good, I'm so excited to have him as my ww partner :)

Shtuff

What have I been upto..........Workin hard at the gym with my sis.I don't know if it really shows yet, but I certainly feel better.

I took Bridget out for Thai last night, for her birthday, OMG! She's 30 now guys. We has a really good time, laughing hysterically at god knows what. I envision us in our 50s painting the town red and frightening people :x

I spent most of yesterday cleaning this heck hole and organizing my sewing space, I tend to just grab and throw things when I'm working so after a busy week it really needed it.

Here's some new stuff:

Dimitri!

Yellow Birdy Brooch

Bridget's birthday brooch

Billy Hedgehog

New prints-mine!

There might be more new things on my Flickr if you're interested :)
