Latest home update!

So I saw this amazing bureau here and other places that I can't remember at the moment:

So I decided that would work perfectly with my white bureau's- the one in my bedroom in particular.

My process was printing the words "secret", "sleep" and "lazy" in a jane austen font that I got off-line, coloring the back with pencil and then tracing those letters onto the drawers. I then painted those words onto the drawers with gray paint I got from Lowe's still from the giftcard I had from my house warming! Here are some pictures:

Margarita, music (lap top), cell phone.

Tool box (to maybe take hardware off drawers), gray paint.

Half painted already-half pencil stencil of "secret" on my drawer that contains the secrets.

The printed word "sleep" which I will color on the back with a pencil and trace onto the drawer for my pj's.

Primitive carbon-copy.

Finished product.

Close-up.

I love it.

Um

this is something I don't even have words to describe.

I love

sleepovers.

Flattered yet disturbed.

Those are two very random things to feel at the same time. 

This morning I woke up, showered, got dressed, came downstairs, started the coffee maker, put my Meal for One in my lunch bag and poured a bowl of Cheerios (same thing every morning, I'm a creature of habit, at least in the am).

While I eat my Cheerios I check my email, google reader and facebook. When I open my computer iChat automatically opens up as well. 

I received an instant message this morning from someone not on my buddy list. YoMommaFat510304 to be exact. 

I accepted the message so I could see what it said only because if I declined it, it would bother me not knowing what the message was.

This was the message from YoMommaFat 510304 received at 6:16 am:

"hey...you're hot. and you have no clue who this is :)"

My response:

"it's too early"

What the hell? I mean, let's be honest, I don't hate the fact that someone thinks I'm hot (unless they're just effing with me) but I'm kind of disturbed about the whole thing. 

Only me.

This is why

I heart my SBF Lizziebelle:

(a text message convo between the two of us this afternoon)

me: just avoided eye contact with [a girl from high school we were super bffs with who in college turned into a slight beyotch but we've since buried the hatchet. technically.] at target like a champ

lb: she is like the basilisk

me: HAHAHAHAHAHA

lb: I need professional help

me: if you do then we should go together bc I knew what you were talking about without missing a beat

lb: we need to be committed....TO THE WORLD OF WIZARDING!

This is why we're SBFs, bffs and second cousins. Love her.

UPDATE: In editing this post and putting a link to the word "basilisk" I have discovered that there is a Harry Potter wiki. I may not end up watching Lost or Mad Men at all, I may just read this all night!

Another good thing!

So tomorrow night at the Zeiterion Theatre has RFK: The Journey to Justice which I was so excited to see.

So excited.

Spring semester 2009 I took a grad class at Bridgewater, Assassinations, with one of my favorite history professors- Dr. Thomas Turner. The grad students were assigned a 25 page research paper on an assassination of our choice, I chose Bobby Kennedy. After completing the paper I knew Bobby was my favorite Kennedy. I heart him.

So anyway, I saw that the Z was putting on this show and could. not. wait. for it to be February!

Well, it's February and I officially don't have enough money to buy a ticket to see the show tomorrow night. Super. My Aunt Dori works in the box office there, but I didn't feel comfortable asking her if she had any comp tickets. I know she wouldn't mind, but I just don't feel right asking. As I had that thought I was pulling into the parking lot at the gym and literally that minute my Aunt Dori was calling me! She offered me free tickets to the show- how freaking awesome!!!!!

I'm so excited to see this show tomorrow night, even though I'm probably going alone, nbd!

Plus my friendboy is on his way over to watch this weeks episode of Lost and some more episodes of Mad Men.

Love it!!

LOVE!!

There are a lot of blogs on my google reader. One of the blogs I read is Makeup Bag and there was a contest giving away free false eyelashes, all you had to do was leave a comment.

I've entered tons of blog contests like this before, never winning.

Except I WON! How exciting!!!

I received and email informing me they needed my mailing address to send me my false eyelashes! I'm so excited! Now I just need something fun to wear them to!
