21!!!!!! whooohooo!!!!

So yesterday I celebrated my 21st birthday. I can't believe I am 21. Not a drinker, but I did ring in this legal age with 2 Mai Tais, a ton of Kool Super Longs, and an ass kicking game of Spades. I slept around 5 a.m. and awoke at a disappointing 11:00. But waking me up was the slight pounding of the reality that "yeah... I rang in the big 2-1 like all the other cool kids. I was very happy to see a clean house... nothing does it for me like a clean house. I took a shower and Chris and I were off to Barnes and Nobles. A venti macchiato, chicken foccachia (<----sp?), and a chocolate chip scone sounded like a good breakfast (the cigarette came after the normal browse of magazines and craft books). I just can't see myself spending the 30 bucks on a book that I am not completely in love with. It seems that the cute stuff is sitting across the page of the super outdated stuff. Yeah, not gonna buy it. Sometimes that's how magazines are too. I did see one book.. It's a possibility. It is a french style sewing book with tons of cute retro indie looking work. But with so much going on this week I just didn't need another distraction from the tons of I had to do. After that we picked up our little one from my mom's so my sister could finish with my cake. The three of us headed back home. I went into my clean room, layed on my made bed and watched Sex and the City. From there we went back to my mom's. Thank God for DVR! We got to watch CSI. And House season finale... both are huge to me. We ate a great dinner. And Mia baked this incredible cake. I almost died when I tried the frosting... so yum!!!!WHITE CHOCOLATE! We finally rounded up everyone together and took a family picture... Kat we know you're in Vegas... that's your own fault....JK! We love and miss you. When we came home I sewed and finished up some stuff that needed to be done. Of course this was done to Sex and the City. Man, when I'm obsessed... I'm all in.

It's wierd because I know that I am having my party on Saturday and that it's a big milestone because I am now able to buy alcohol, but it is a bummer to welcome the day after your birthday. It's like although I wasn't freaking out on the day... the next day is a super bummer. Almost a year ago I tried this wine... it was so good. So today, I bought it. It was a great birthday. P.S. The yard looked fabulous when I walked out.

Sex and the City

I have always liked the whole New York scene. Everything about it is really interesting to me and "the City" seems so unique. I am a southern cali kind of person so New York is really interesting. Aww Bella just came and laid her head on my lap as I am typing and she is watching Barney and says to me "I love you Mama." This child is everything to me. Hmm... where were we? Oh Sex and the City. So I am a huge "Friends" fan and "King of Queens". But anyway I was never interested in this show until I happened to watch an episode while waiting for "Friends". It seemed interesting, and yeah although they have tons of random sex and even more random sex partners, something about this show caught my eye. It's like I just enjoyed watching this funny chick flick five nights a week. So now I rent the seasons and watch them when I should be sleeping. I really like the show and I think Carrie Bradshaw is such an adorable character. I like the way their friendship works even though they are all different. It's my new thing.

New Ramblings.

So I hate posting without pictures. Seems boring without them, but I can't find my cord to upload pictures anyway. I really need to scrapbook more and take more pictures. It's like I become so busy doing one thing that I completely forgot about the others that I can do as well. Chris got me a book for my birthday. It is called Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and It's All Small Stuff. It is very interesting. Actually it's right on the money. It's ecxactly what I need in this time of business. I want to do so much but there are so many plans and so little time... hence .. my new book. It's helping already. I do need to take things slower and calmer and realize that it's not the end of the world if everything is not perfect. I am so excited... I just got photo paper and a sd card reader. So I will be able to show more pictures and do more with it. I need to document life... but remember to enjoy it every single second... exhale

Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End

So I went to the 8:00 showing of Pirates 3. I really wanted Spiderman 3 to remain the #1 opening movie of all time, but I am sure this beat it. My critique? It was cool and I liked it, but in no way did I feel as pleased and enjoyed as I did when I left the second one. And why do they make Keira Knightly such a hoe in these movies?? It was a B maybe B-.

So Little Time

Okay there is so much to do today. For someone who only works part time I sure don't have much time. A house with two yong men a toddler and crafter... always messy. ALLways cleaning and picking up to do. Plans with family. Chaperoning the siblings. Dropping off the baby... my car...(I won't even go there). Alright.. take out trash, dishes, put away ironing board, shower, get dressed, fight with Bella to get her dressed, get mom food, switch cars, drop off Bella with her Grandma, get both kids from two different schools, go see Shrek 3. All within 1hour and 45 min. READY SET GO!!!!!!

A New Blog.

I created a new blog for a couple of reasons. First off, I think that my previous ID was cute for me but I would like to expand what it accesses. That leads me into the second reason... I really want to open up my etsy shop. I know it may be pretty cliche or whatever. I really just want people to know about the things that I take pride in and what I can do with simple things. It is what I enjoy... making things and putting a spin on things... maybe even looking at them differently. I am very eager. I am also very excited because I got a lot accomplished today. I am trying to build up my shop with a variety of different things and want a pretty good amount for my "premiere" LoL! I am finally comfortable with the work I do and am not embarrassed to tell people about it. I have 4 lanyards, one make up clutch, three crochet bracelets, two beanies and another day off tomorrow! Well, the two beanies were made prior. I wanted "beautiful soul" or "simple soul" but they were both taken.... which is ok because I really like "This Simple Soul".
