No more comments and stuff

I figured since all comments to my posts go directly through me anyway .. I'm just going to turn them off. Then I don't feel like I need to check on them lol

So, I'm really digging these Chicken Salad Sandwiches from Wal-Mart's Deli area. They are freakin yum! Coupled with BBQ chips .. mannnnnn! Today I also picked up some caramels. mmmm It's been a while since I have had caramels. I'm glad I got them, though. Seriously. Yeah. They hit the spot!

Well, anyhow .. I don't really have anything of importance to say today - I just wanted to let you all know I'm turning these off so I don't have to explain it multiple times haha

xoxo - Ciao, lovers.

Resolution in play and oOo Pretty

Well I'm staying true to at least one of my resolutions this year .. I'm clearing out the negative and toxic things/people in my life. Granted, it was their decision originally, not mine.. But, it's for the best all around. This particular person had a way of always making me feel bad about myself and/or my life. What a great friend..

Anyhow, I finally let go of said relationship. Yes, I was holding out for a couple of months thinking things would "get better" and then after reading a certain blog post it made me realize, I don't want it to get better. I don't want it to anything. Well, except be over.

On a brighter note. I have some awesome pictures I would like to share..
For Valentines Day I received flowers from Robby. Boy, this was fun. haha
The first bouquet was late - not to mention the wrong bouquet. The second bouquet was the right bouquet, but the flowers were a little overheated - otherwise they were gorgeous. I also received a "Just Because" bouquet of the most gorgeous stargazer lilies!

I didn't get many pics of many of the flowers for whatever reason .. But I did get a few that I think turned out beautifully. So, those are what I'm going to share..

Green Cherry Bag

I've been wanting to make a new bag for some time now.. But, I couldn't decide on fabric, style, etc.. Well after finding some fun cherry fabric that I actually liked and deciding that the handbag I have now is too small .. I decided on a simple, very open style. And so, here it is.
cherry green bag

No pockets, just that little keyring holder on the inside.. Still debating if I want to go ahead and add a few pockets. I'm not sure though .... We'll see.

Saturday

So we're supposed to be going to a birthday party in about .. well, leaving in about an hour, getting there by 11. I look outside and wonder if this is really a good idea. It has been raining and freezing all morning and in the past few minutes, it's started to thunder. We did RSVP so I really don't want to not show up, but I really don't want to drive up there in this either. Decisions, decisions. At least I have an hour to figure it out..

In other news. I got a new phone yesterday. It has a full qwerty keypad when you flip it open. It's small and cute and I am really loving it. It's not much bigger than my last phone, the slice. It's actually pretty much literally two of the slices stacked on top of each other. For those of you that don't speak Virgin, the slice is the equivalent to the slvr.

I have a nifty picture to share with you all today, as well.
Negative Water Drops

While I was taking a shower last night, I kept looking through the bubbles on the shower curtain into the light on the other side. It was really neat looking with the water drops and steam. Now, most of the steam is gone from the picture because I didn't want to take my camera in and get it all steamed up, but either way - this feature on my camera made me very happy with this shot. I thought it was fun.

Man it's thunderin' and comin' down out there. Whew. Time to go figure out how important this party is to Mehkaelie haha

As Promised

Well, as promised, here are a few pictures that I took today on my pretty new camera..

I didn't have a lot of anything to really take a picture of so .... Complete randomness anyone?

Book Fair Semi Prickly Bush Against Blue Sky

Alright, well that's all for today - the rest are quite literally even more random haha Feel free to check out My Flickr every now and then though, I'll probably start uploading pics regularly!

New Camera!

I got my new camera today! Woo! It's late so this is going to be short and sweet, but I LOVE IT! Muchly so! It's quite awesome, if I do say so myself :)

I'll post pics and stuff tomorrow, as of now it's just around the house pics that, trust me, you won't care too awful much about haha

Okay - Goodnight, Loves.

PS - I finally opened a flickr account.. I have yet to upload any photos to it .. but, hey, it's a step in that direction anyway. Not sure how I'm going to like/dislike it, but we'll see.

This time, goodnight, for real.

I'm Still Here

I found the pieces in my hand
They were always there
It just took some time for me to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
So if nothing else
I'll just hold on while you drift away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive

The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
Still here

Seeing the ashes in my heart
The smile the widest
When I cry inside and my insides blow apart
I tried to wear another face
Just to make you proud
Just to make you put me in my place
But everything you wanted from me
Is everything that I could never be

The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here

Maybe tonight
It's gonna be alright
I will get better
Maybe today
It's gonna be okay
I will remember

I held the pieces of my soul
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole
When I saw you yesterday
But you didn't noticed
And you just walked away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive

The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
The lights go out, the bridges burn
Once you're gone, you can't return
But I'm still here
Remember how you use to say I'd be the one to run away
But I'm still here
Oh, I'm still here
I'm still here

New Camera

So, I did it. I finally figured out what kind of camera I wanted to get. Took nearly forever, but hey these decisions can't be made lightly lol

Anyways, it is being shipped from Tn and is supposed to be here Tuesday. I got the Samsung S1050 (Black). I'm excited about it! That means I'll have it just in time for the Valentine and Birthday party! Whoo!! Too bad I couldn't decide longer ago haha

One project finished, etc.

Well the beanbag project is finished. I was going to make 40, but two days and ten pounds of rice later, we have 20. Here's a picture of a few of them.. We have small ones, large ones, cube shaped ones..


I also used some of the extra material from the beanbags (and from my own stash of leftovers) to make a couple little backpacks to send to school with the beanbags. Why? Well .. there was so much left over I told Mrs. Cloud I'd try to think of something to do with it. See what she thinks before doing anything else .. You know what, with all the pockets I've got left, I might make a pocket organizer thing she can hang up. I might do that later today. Hmmmm .. Yeah, I think I just might. Anyhow - here is a picture of the bags -

Oh, my dear friends.

Thank you all for continuing to read my blog. Even if you aren't leaving comments anymore. *ahem* ;) lol Seriously though - I'm glad you all do still message/text/call to reply to me "in person". It amuses me that much more.

"Your body is a wonderland" - Whoo that song is playing right now. haha

So. Tomorrow is the parent teacher conference. And you know what, I don't think they have school Friday. I'll have to find out for sure tomorrow, but I'm .. 97% sure they're out Friday. That will be good, I need a good jammy day. Lay around in my jammies all day. Wait. Friday. Grocery day. Damn. Maybe I'll just go to Wal-Mart in my jammies. Whatcha think? Okay, no. I won't. But still.

Hrm. I should be getting to do the bean bags for Mrs Cloud tomorrow. Wooo. Something to do! I really need to start something. I'm getting way too into this normality groove. I was talking with Rosemary earlier today about cross stitching. While I'm at Wal-Mart I might just pick up one of those rad little kits and teach myself how to make that happen. At least then I'll know if its something I want to keep doing. We'll see.

"I had to fall to lose it all, but in the end, it doesn't even matter" <-- That's on now. Heh....

Wow, this post was complete and total nothingness .. haha I'll stop now.

Boredom

Man. I'm bored. Here as of late, I'm just really, really bored. I don't know why either. It's not that I don't have enough to do. Trust me, I have things I can do. I just .. don't want to do those things. I think I'm falling into that groove. You know, when everything becomes a perfectly rolled out series of events that happen over a period of time. And over again. And, yes, yet again. Yeah .. THAT groove. That's how I feel. Monday through Friday are basically the same day spread out across a week. I essentially do the same things with few exceptions.

Hrm. I need something new. Something new new. Like brand new baby new. No, I don't want a new baby. But you know - the new that new babies bring. Something I haven't tried before or at least haven't tried in a long time.

I'm going to have to think on this one.

In the mean time. I am enjoying cooking a lot more. Not that I'm making anything mention-worthy. I am getting very good at following recipes and such! Go me.
I am however very disappointed that the Wal-Mart here doesn't sell sheets of puff pastry. Or, if it does, it isn't anywhere I can see it! Grr! I am going to have to brave Homeland I suppose. Blah.

I have seen a few good movies lately. Stardust. GREAT movie. I'm currently starting the audiobook as well. Mad Money. Hilarious. What else .. I don't know. My mind is swimming right now.

Today was the 100th day of school. Or so it was celebrated that way. It was pretty awesome, all the kids dressed in their teeshirts with 100 things on them. The teacher participated as well with 100 plastic spoons. It was fun stuff.

My Parent Teacher Conference with Mehkaelie's teacher is this Thursday at 1:45. I'm looking forward to it. I love getting these updates on Mehkaelie.

The class Valentine Party is coming up as well. On Valentines Day of course. That should be fun.

We have a birthday party to attend the weekend after Valentines. I am sure that will be fun as well. It's at one of the big McDonald's with the big play place things.

I've been talking to my sister (Stormi) a lot more recently. That's been pretty great. She's still doing great with her new familyation happening.

Okay, now I'm just rambling for something to do. Okay. This is me stopping.

Happy February

Hey everyone! Happy February!

Just a quick update, I know, that's all I ever leave anymore, sorry!!

I'm working on sweetheart bags for Mehkaelie's class for Valentines Day. Really simple little bags, nothin' too special. But they're cute.
Soon I'll be working on some bean bags for her teacher, which is also simple but cute. I'm really looking forward to it! See what happens when you need something to do? Things start comin' up for you to do.

What else.. I feel like I have a head cold. Blah. But hey, it's Friday!
