Ugh...Sigh...Gag...Bore

my mom is making me watch "Dear John" 'cause she's bored and a sap and all i can think is this:

bye.

Confessions

1. i love t.v.
2. sometimes, only when i'm alone, i watch the real housewives. it is stupid and i know it, but i love hot messyness.
3. the ones from new jersey are my favorite. every time i watch it, it makes me want mozzarella.

that is all.

Chillin' with the Parental

my momma and i have been hanging out for a while now. we've started going for walks together which i really like because we get to talk about our lives and opinions. we have good conversations and sometimes they get a little crazy, 'cause we are you know. today we were talking about people with questionable professions and my mother uttered the following: "I hate the middle man between me and my money!" i guess that's why she started her own business. she is great. crazy as all get out but great. super awesome.

I Be Craftin', Yo!

so sometimes i geek out by myself and craft. "pictures?" you say? why yes, yes i do have pictures.

so i had this white, men's t-shirt that was bleh. so after seeing this, i gave it a go. i cut the neckline to a high scoop and used a black linen (that i may or may not have had since high school) and made a straight bow rather than a gigantic one because it suits me better. i'm wearing it tomorrow. i'm pretty excited.

then, i came across this little jem and since i am currently in love with all things tribal inspired, i couldn't contain myself. really though, i tried not to do this but i did it 'cause i couldn't stop myself. i decided that i didn't want to spend much money doing this. i bought cheep sneakers and a sharpie made for clothes and i used special design markers from when i was in fashion school. (side note: design markers are surprisingly strong. they can get you high as a kite without adequate ventilation during use.) 

i've also been working on some sewing repairs for the parental unit. taking in a shirt here, attaching a button there, reconstructing an entire dress, all in a day's work for a former aspiring fashion designer.

As Seen in the Crosswalk

one of the things that i've noticed since being home is the use of technology in everyday life. from little kids to adults well into their 40's and 50's, people use technology in any way they can and every moment they get. as a society, we talk about being constantly connected. there is such irony in that statement-we want to be constantly connected to the world around us while ignoring and blocking out the world around us.

i was on my way home, and i saw a couple of teenagers crossing the street. this is what they looked like and what i imagined they were thinking, 'cause yeah i still think i'm funny.
