O'Bryen's bday party was today, not to be confused with her real bday, which is next month. But there was cake and presents all the same. We had it at one of those paint your own pottery places. There were 2 kids who never showed and one who came but didn't paint. So we only had to pay for 9 kids which was better for our wallet. The kids had a ( Read more... )

I finally finished O'Bryen's dress I had started at the beginning of the summer. It's the very first article of clothing I have ever made, and the first time using a pattern. Yayness. She loves it and it looks pretty good too. :D ( Read more... )

So more than one person on my flist has been waxing poetic about weight these past few days. Coincidentally I've been thinking about it as well and meaning to post about this sooner. Claire has spoken on this topic on more than one occasion, but now it's my turn ( Read more... )

So yesterday the kids and I ran all over town running errands. We were gone all day. Then after being home for about an hour, Chris came home. But joy of joys, the base movie theatre was having their grand reopening and was showing Superman for $1! So an hour later we were out the door again to take the kids to see Superman. In case you didn't know ( Read more... )

So I took my final tonight. Survey of Western Art History I is done forever. I think I did well. Somehow I've been pulling an A in this class, which is amazing considering the crap I've been turning in. But hey, I'll take the A. Hopefully I'll end up with an A afterall, once the test is graded. I feel so much better now that this class is over. It' ( Read more... )

So why is it, after about 2 bites of something that will most probably give me heartburn (and let's face it, that's pretty much everything these days) I start feeling the burn. Two bites! What, that's like a minute of eating?! How is that possible, really? And where the hell did my tums go?!!!! In other aches and pains, my sleeping has become quite ( Read more... )

Ok people help me out here. I need music recommendations. What do I like? Mostly pretentious indie and old school punk, but I've really been obsessed with the feminist fury sound like Le Tigre and Bikini Kill. And yess I know Kathleen Hanna is in both, but I need more suggestions ( Read more... )

So Fun Plex was yesterday, and it was indeed fun. It's super duper small, but we were able to go on almost all the rides, so very kid friendly. The only one I wasn't able to go on due to being pregs was the water slide. W.T.F. The water slide?!? You'd think the twist and twirl or bumper cars would be worse, but no, apparantly it's the water slide. ( Read more... )

So ancient greek art and architecture have consumed my waking thoughts. We technically are done studying it in class, but I have a paper due Tuesday and a make-up test (since I missed it the other day) due Thursday, so still a relevent subject to be thinking about. But, uh, yeah, can't stop thinking about it. I even bought The Clash of the Titans ( Read more... )
