Ribbon tutu for Sue

So, my mom has this kind of creepy little stuffed bunny that my sister and i like to make fun of because she dresses her up according to each holiday/baby showers and wedding showers! Well for this Easter, my mom had the grand idea to make Harriot (that's the bunny & yes, she has a name) a tutu made out of tulle and ribbon, and surprisingly ... It's adorable! So I'm not sure if my sister in-law will put it on her daughter Suzie, but since i adore Suzie I decided to make her one myself! I mean why not I love little tutus for kids, and with a little t-shirt and some leggings it'll be adorable! Yey for crafts! now lets just hope she'll wear it ;)

Of musical interest

Growing up with a dad who loves music for it's lyrics & poetic license and a mom who loves music with an upbeat tempo and couldn't always care less what the lyrics are, you can imagine what a wide variety of music i listen to... The only music I can safely say I haven't been too big a fan of is Scream-o music and MOST country, but I do remember as a kid the only country artist i loved was Deana Carter, and now who woulda guessed that the song i have been SEARCHING for after hearing it at work is a song by one of my favorite duets, Simon and Garfunkel and is covered by yours truly Deana Carter! It is beautiful. I absolutely adore this remake and encourage you to have a listen.

Sydney Bradford & the order of the Phoenix

So, today at school i decided to play with some ink works, and now my parents say I look like A Phoenix (that bird in Harry Potter). But it is fun, and it makes me feel summery!

here's some pictures, Darin and I took a photo sesh... myspace style because we are cool like that!

Hello snow!

Well it looks like Snow miser has paid a little visit to south town this year! Although our (I'm sure to be short lived) snow fall will probably be gone by tonight or early tomorrow, it was nice to have a little taste. I absolutely love wintry weather!

Janie's pre birthday weekend

This past weekend our good friends Janie and Adam came to visit from Augusta YEY! Janie took a few pictures of the event, and since i am lame and Unoriginal i like to steal photos from others and use them, so here you go.. enjoy!

Darin and Adam being super straight

Having Janie and Adam come visit always makes us miss having close friends to play with, we love you guys! wish ya'll lived closer!

Ramblings of a bored white woman

I feel so ridiculous when i try to write something about nothing, and right now there is nothing going on in my life, Just the same old daily routine, and that's just no fun!
Last night however, Winston peed on Darin's closet (Winston is a cat for any of you who thought Winston was human) Darin was quite mad! He told me not to be surprised if i came home and Winston was gone, but don't you worry I told Darin to shut it ( I would be very upset if he tossed the cat). I seriously think Winston secretly hates Darin (well maybe not so secretly) ....
Also we have been taking Faye to the dog park almost daily, although right now we are taking a break from the dog park at the moment, Last time we were there Faye must have hurt her foot on the mulch because she has a scab on her footsie, and when Darin tries to look at it, she screams at him... Now I know some of you are probably thinking "doesn't she mean barks?" no sir, I mean Screams! Faye is an interesting little dog, she makes noises that are very UN ... dog like? I think she is an extra terrestrial sometimes, yeah i know that's sounds dumb but you guys just don't understand some of the noises this little thing makes... But i love her & she is my little extra terrestrial. Wow typing extra terrestrial so many times makes me think of this song we sometimes play at Anthropologie called if you were alien it's weird but i kinda like it , and now it is stuck in my head...
Sometimes when I'm really bored and i have songs stuck in my head but i can't think who they are by, I like to type them into google and find out who sings them, it works really well!!
Oh, so if anyone is still reading this, I am throwing a friend from school a baby shower on Saturday, and I need a recipe for punch, and some baby shower game ideas! ha ha so if you got any good ones throw um my way!

My Valentine

Since I haven't had anything to write about in almost a month, I figure Valentines day seems like a fairly note worthy topic.Yesterday was mine and Darin's first Valentines together since being married, and I must say that it was pretty pathetic that we didn't see one another from 7:00 am until 10:30 pm, but none the less we had a rather nice Valentines day.
Darin surprised me first by having some beautiful sunflowers sent to me at work, and then again when i got home and the house was IMMACULATELY clean! It was so nice to come home to a beautifully cleaned apartment!
I guess he enjoyed his gift as well, I got him some Godiva chocolate covered strawberries, some sparkling grape juice he he, and some other things.
after a long day at school and work, Valentines ended with a romantic evening at home with my baby!

Heres to the land...

So... it's official, The United States of America has a new president and in some peoples' eyes a new sense of hope & change. As a citizen of the USA I, like any other, want our country to succeed & prosper and although everyone has their own views on politics, religion, and life I think everyone can agree on the one common goal of succeeding!
I know everyone has a different perspective on the things that have transpired today, some are ecstatic, some are hopeful, some are sad and some are even angry ... today was a bittersweet day for me, I wont lie, I felt a twinge of sadness inside me when I saw our previous President get into the helicopter and fly away, but as a start of a new year, and another four to come, my prayers are with this country and with President Obama that things will be done for all citizens of this country that we may succeed in our common goal of prosperity!

God bless America.
