farewell twenty-one

I will officially be twenty-two in twenty-two hours and six minutes from this moment I am ending this sentence.

how strange

In my twenty-second year of life I will:
+ graduate university with my bachelor's degree

+

...and that's all I know at this point.
Maybe that's good/Maybe that's bad.

i'm not sure, and i'm not sure about that either

i need a checklist; or maybe i'd be better off without...

...

Halloween is over. Here are our costumes:

Jarrod

Lily & Jarrod

again.

and these are cupcakes.
i made them.
red velvet with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and sugary blood spatter.

yum.

We had fun.

I am still really tired and sore from the 48 hours of pre-Halloween work I had to do for the party.
[making the costumes, cleaning the house, baking all those dang cupcakes, etc]

We didn't really take any pictures of the party. Our guests included Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Fred & Wilma Flinstone, Batman & Robin, a football player & a cheerleader, and a bunch of other people whose costumes I didn't get and/or who did not dress up. Lame. ;)

There was a 3-way tie for best costume, and in the end Cassi won.

I hope this works...

I am running SO far behind on my Halloween to do list. I just bought the fabric for our costumes this morning. What?!

I know.

We WERE going to be Sweeney Todd and Ms Lovett at the beach:

But not anymore... I couldn't find the right fabric anywhere (except online--I didn't want to pay the shipping), and I was running short on time to make them look as good as the real thing...


NOW we're going to be Jarrod and Lily from Eagle vs Shark. OF COURSE we'll be wearing their eagle and shark costumes!

I'm SO excited. But...now that I'm looking at Lily's costume, I think my fabrics aren't exactly right. Oh well...I'll make it work.

The video I wanted to put on here isn't working when I embed it, so just go here to see it...

puffball

Chris, Alan, and Joe were... wandering through the woods?

They found this GIANT mushroom. It weighed 10 pounds.

There was, in the end, eating involved. I did not participate.
From what I can tell, I made the right decision.

It was enormous. Probably three times bigger than my head [which is, oddly enough, quite small].

And it had a creepy smiley face in the top of it. NO WAY I was going to eat that...

how girl get pragnent?

Oh my gosh.

I could NOT stop laughing at this looping meme last night.

Maybe you've seen it?

fortune

I have a pair of shoes that Chris absolutely despises. I adore them.
Chris thinks they are hideous, and I, well...don't.
My mother bought them at a thrift store years ago, and they've been mine for a few years now.
They are falling apart, but I still wear them.

I had a presentation at school on Tuesday. I dressed to impress, and Chris complimented me as I dashed out the door [fast enough for him not to notice my feet].

Later that day, we went out and ended up picking up some chinese [food, not people] for dinner.

You should have seen the look Chris gave me as I read my fortune aloud...

Who's buying?

wishlists

Seems like everyone is posting wishlists lately...

There are about a million things I'd like to have, and the order in which I'd like to receive them changes daily.

Today, I want:

Home Designer Pro 9.0
and
this Sony Vaio L Series

The only video of HD Pro is 20 minutes long...I don't want to bore you, but if you're interested, it's included on the Amazon page that is linked in up there^^.



So. Cool.

so...if you have an extra $2500 laying around....

PS: The Sony L Series was just unveiled last week, and won't be available for purchase until the 22nd.

Invitations

I don't think anyone who might read this is coming to the party,
so I thought I'd post photos of the invitations I made.
I love them.
I wonder what the mail people will think of these...

Paint chips have become my go to paper for anything and everything...
gift tags, invitations, scavenger hunt love notes...
