  • Just some people I saw this weekend. 🙂 
    I get WAY too excited around babies. Ceara’s super awesome and adorable new nephew is NO exception. See my smile, it’s like OMG you are so cute I almost want to eat you, or steal you. I want one. Sigh. I guess he always has his hands up like that, even did it in the womb, I thought it was too cute. 
    What could be better than a baby? That would be Ceara!!! I love Ceara and since she lives in Arkansas (yes, Arkansas, like five kajillion miles from here) I do not get to see her enough. So we always get to do the jumpy huggy thing when we see each other, it’s great. She spent the night last night, and since Sciarrino’s here it was a real party (well except that Ceara was kinda on Central time). It was so great just to hang out with her and talk to her and… WATCH ER WITH HER!! That’s right people, the Amber Ceara ER duo was back for one night only. Ceara and I definitely bonded over this show in high school, and even all through collage we called each other after it was over to discuss, but mostly just to make sure we talked at least once a week. I’d drive down to Eugene or she’d come to Corvallis so we could watch it together, but it’s been like two years since the last joint viewing. So I TiVoed the episode for her and we watched Friday night. Perfection.

    Oh Ceara is friggin hilarious. I just love her. And having her and Sciarrino together. My two best friends together it’s the best. Of course it was short and sweet, she’s leaving today so she can make it to work on Monday. I’m having breakfast with her tomorrow so I get to see her one more time.

    In other news Sciarrino and I had a class with Ali Edwards today. It pretty much ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF. I love my album!  I really hate when people get talked up and then they let you down, but I’m putting Ali with Madonna and Prince on the excellent performance scale – she did NOT disappoint. Really cool, easy to talk to and I was especially happy that she didn’t mind when Sciarrino and I went our own way a bit. It’s all good (as she says). And it was, all good. I really wished I would have signed up my mom to come with me, she would have loved it. I suggest if you have a mom (and like her) to take her to an Ali class. I think I would learn a ton about my mom if I had her do the homework… hmmm, mom you interested?

  • This is one of the best. But first, ode to Halfway.

    It’s back there some where, we were about half an hour outside of Halfway here, just checking that the car top carrier was on right. If you went over those hills you would see the valley covered in snow, beautiful twinkling snow. It started snowing right when we got to Halfway on Monday evening. It snowed all night and we woke up to snow everywhere, so pretty. Tuesday Sciarrino packed her stuff into the rig and we went into town (the really tiny cute town) later in the evening. We went out to dinner with her sister, mom, and best friend Morgan. We ate at this teeny little bowling ally/diner/workout gym that had just reopened. I had super yummy chili cheese fries… with a chili cheese dog (no self control when it comes to chili from an in-the-middle-of-nowhere diner. It was so good. mmmm. We drove over to see Morgan’s new house, a 100 year old farm house with the most awesome moldings I’ve ever seen. And also to see her little five month old Cooper. Cooper has the best facial expressions. When I first picked him up he looked at me all surprise, like, “who the heck are you.” I LOVE babies!!!  Sigh. Driving to Sciarrino’s that night the stars were so incredible when we broke out of the fog. The sky was absolutely covered in stars, and the moon was shining down making the snow twinkle.

    So the drive home was great too. And I couldn’t wait to get home because I knew I had a package waiting for me. I ordered these off eBay (I love eBay).

    Dudes, I paid under 25 bucks for a set of 163 of these stamps. And I am totally in love with them. They have all kinds of nouns, some verbs, adjectives (including all the colors), and even three presidents… I wasn’t thinking this is so cool until I realized one of the presidents is Wilson and that is Ceara’s last name!  You can bet I’m stamping that on everything I send her. Hehehehe. I had a little stamped out sample to show you all, but my brother nicked my fire wire cable so I can’t hook up my scanner. You can bet they will be on many layouts in the future. I’m going to try and update later today again because I feel like I’ve got lots to say. But another thing that made my day fantastic?  A Ribbon Jar order that was almost two pounds. That is a TON of ribbon people, a Ton. Oh and my velvet is going to be here by Monday, ohhhhh I can’t wait.
