Holy Cupcake!!! This is the best idea EVER!!! I could eat these driving the car, walking the dogs, reading in bed...the possibilities are endless! Oh, I guess I could make them for other people too...LOL!

Sex in the City 2


Wow, I was really disappointed. I loved all the outfits and luxury but I cannot get over the fit Samantha has in a market. All I could think of was how horribly disrespectful to be in another country and blatantly disregard their laws and customs. This scene has clouded all the others and really made me dislike the movie. *sigh*

Thunder


Image from flicker
We are having a crasher boomer...poor Murph-Murph! He hates thunder.
And Goo had a seizure in the night...this morning is starting off AWESOME! lol I guess we all will miss our morning walk before I go to work...boooooo!
I am so excited that I'm all registered for Summer camp!

It's going to be super awesome!
I'm going to Sex in the City 2 tonight with some girls. I'm pretty pumped to see all the clothes...the setting seems dreamy...all flowy, and hot! lol

so cute


I love, love this mouse pad. I think it would inspire me to clean my desk...maybe.
I am definately lacking inspiration and motivation to create my perfect crafty/art space. I think that it has become so cluttered and I have become over-whelmed. This happens a lot with me. I really want to forge through this and just make it happen. I always have ideas and motivation in the morning, then by the time I get home from work...it is all lost.
The colors on the mouse pad are EXACTLY what I want for my room. I'm going to order it right now and hope it kicks me in the ass to get going!

Super cute!

This DIY is for little girls...hmmmm I think that they would look AWESOME in my 40 year old hair! Besides, I love ribbon and I have a whack of it and now I know what to do with it!

I want to go to camp!

http://racheldenbow.blogspot.com/2010/05/rva-summer-camp-registration.html
I really think this would be tonnes of fun! I think I would like to treat myself to this camp but I feel like I will need to get my play space in order and I really need a laptop! I would love to be able to blog, read blogs and create anywhere I want! There are some web books for $239 at Future shop...I wonder if that is all I really need?
Anyways, I'm going to seriously consider taking this. It makes me laugh because a few years ago a friend (who doesn't talk to me anymore...:( ) and I wanted so badly to bring back earning badges, like in brownies. This reminds me of the fun we used to have in dreaming together. Perhaps I could meet some girls that like the same things I do, even if they live far away. I do not seem to have much luck with meeting new, like-minded ladies in person, so this might be awesome for me!
I wish my old friend was talking to me...she would have LOVED this class, and I would have loved taking it with her...*sigh*.

This is BEAUTIFUL. It is interesting that I imagine everyone, all the women in my life wearing this, except me. Why is it I find such beauty in everyone else EXCEPT me? It is frustrating. I'm sure that no one else looks at me and judges like I do to myself. I would like to someday get to the point where I could get this for myself and wear it proudly!

It would help if I hadn't gone out on Saturday night and drank too much! I am still feeling the effects of the alcohol and the over-eating this morning...it's Monday! I am afraid to get on the scale for my WII fitness and see exactly what damage has been done.

Well...I will soldier on...

How to Make a Turban-Style Headband


How to Make a Turban-Style Headband

This is AWESOME. I imagine it will take care of any bad hair days! I think I will use one of the million too small t-shirts I have around!

What a super fun idea...and a GREAT way to do something about the piles of magazines I have going on!

http://www.purlbee.com/the-twenty-minute-tote/

I MUST make these!!! I have some awesome fabric waiting for an awesome project! I will go on the hunt for the handles today!



It's been so frustrating lately. I've gained so much weight. I can barely stand looking at myself in the mirror, I don't recognise myself. It's like I see myself inside and surrounded by a body that isn't mine! I have been exercising every morning. I have changed my diet, become a vegetarian (fish and seafood still as well) but I still keep putting on the pounds, 1 or 2 pounds a week!!! Is this all because I quit smoking? I just find that hard to believe. It's been 6 months without a cigarette, I don't even really miss smoking, except if I think it will make me lose weight, then I wonder why I stopped. Then I remember the chronic coughing, the alienation I felt being a smoker, the horrible smell, the yellow fingers...ETC. I could go on and on but I think I've made the point.






So, I will keep up my relationship with my mat. And force a smile in the morning and keep at it. I have to gain strength in both body and mind. I want to feel beautiful again.
