Felt Art

Remember these? I used colored pencils instead of markers. They are super relaxing to work on and help quiet your mind.
I feel like every hospital waiting room should be equipped with crayons and coloring books for children and especially adults.

Too much Halloween? NEVER

Thrift store finds of the month

(Mostly 80's finds)

Aside from my current vampire obsession, the thrift store a block away from my house is my other problem.

Items in order:

1. Weird Jello-esque napkin holder I use for new postcards and letters
2. Non-functional pear
3. Bonified 1984 rainbow mugs
4. 1982 ceramic pie mold
5. Metal key hook which I spray painted green (Jewish door frame?)
6. Ridiculously awesome tacky bowl
7. 80's heart bowl (No, it's not a Tostitos endorsement)

8. Ceramic butterfly I keep my incense in.

Fuzzy photo of the Kills

The last few photos are of Tilly and the Wall. I love the clogging as percussion.
They were fun to dance to as well as CSS. (quintessential Alina music)
I had run into the drummer of Tilly while we were in line for the bathroom.

The reading frenzy.

This has been my life for the past few weeks. I just finished the third book only to find a fourth I was unaware of which I had to purchase immediately... It suddenly took more precedence over buying food.

Thanks for robbing me of sleep and social life Stephenie Meyer. Also, thanks for the needless vampire obsession. I have devoured the horror section of Blockbuster. In the rare hours I haven't been reading, I have watched Blade, Interview with a vampire, Underworld, etc. etc.

I have a problem.

One of many reasons Limos are dumb.

Twilight

My mother sent the trilogy to us a while ago and I just read Twilight. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days. I now need to read New Moon and Eclipse. This vampire romance was probably written for high school girls, but I love it. I get high school butterflies in my stomach.

I was thinking they should make a movie-Come to find out they are. It should be out in December. The actors they chose look just like the characters in my mind.

Amusement

I have been helping out one of the fathers who I nanny for.
He is an owner of Heritage Square, a theme park Aaron used to frequent when he was a child. It's in Golden which is about 15 minutes from where I live in Lakewood.
I have been operating the rides and working on my tan.
I got my face painted at work.
Pretty awesome.
