Get up, get up!
(7:30am)
Boyfriend
No.
ME
Get up!
(with lots of jumping on him and on the bed)
Boyfriend
Have you regressed to 5 years old
ME
Yes. Get up.
Boyfriend
You need to get back on your cot.
ME
Cot?
Boyfriend
Yes, your cot. Do we need to put you back in your cot?
ME
What are you calling a cot?
Boyfriend
You know. A jail. For babies.
I was party food shopping at TJ's yesterday. Vanilla JoJos, guacasalsa, identity crisis chips, etc. If you have not had the pleasure of stuffing your face with the things I just listed, I highly recommend doing so. However, being short, I happened to catch a little awesomeness from the bottom shelf out of the corner of my eye:
The only bad thing about them is that a lot of the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves get stuck between your teeth. But whatever, that's what floss and dentists are for.
If you like tom yum soup but hate hot water, then this is the perfect snack for you. Especially if you are an astronaut?
First of all, I am eating one of these right now and they are DELISH. Yay for awesome NYC friends who visit! These particular ones are from Junior's.
The boyfriend was traumatized that I "decapitated" his long stemmed roses. But I like how they look like this:
Poster presenting of data, which is always good practice as well as being REALLY ANNOYING to do.
All-you-can-eat sushi.
Introduction to my long lost soul-mate: Blokus. This game is very aesthetically pleasing and really speaks to the part of my brain that is obsessed with spatial recognition.
Winning at the soul crushing game of Settler's of Catan. Victory in Settlers is pretty sweet. I already have marked it in my calendar so that in the future I can celebrate Feb 15 as the day I won Settlers back in '09.
Making baked Brie with cranberry sauce. There is no picture due to the fact it was inhaled.
Not to mention general frivolity with friends (like special friends visiting from NYC!).
Yay! Now I will continue to stuff my face with sugar. Mmmmm. Black and white cookies are yums.
True story:
Who is that guy?
ME
That's Bruce Springsteen.
DAD
I don't know him.
ME
He's really famous.
DAD
I've never seen him before in my life.
ME
I'm sure you know his songs even if you've never seen him. You know, like Born in the USA?
DAD
No. I can't hear the music.
ME
You should know this song.
(Glory Days playing)
DAD
No. I don't know it. He's probably not famous. I've never heard of him.
Yes, I am going backwards, but I forgot to take pictures after I made it. Using the same Modern Flora collection fabric, I attempted "Potholder Making: 101" which turned out pretty cute:
My mom just happened to have this 6x6 inch piece of special batting/insulation that is specifically for pot holders. I'll have to look into how to get more. It would be nice to have a set, with multiple large and small holders.
You can see crafty v1.0 here. A little while ago I purchased some awesome fabric from an awesome online fabric store:
