oh and also I forgot how much I LOVE CRAYONS!

Okay got some great music today. Damn those iTunes emails, “other people who bought these songs also bought:” well of course I have to check out what cool people who bought what I bought got. Phew, too many boughts and gots in those sentences, anyway. I checked it out and purchased Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls for my self (and also gifted it to Sciarrino because it’s totally the kind of song we would listed to over and over together). It’s very good, uplifting, love it. Then I had to get the whole freaking Plans album by Death Cab for Cutie. I would tell you how good it is, but I think this review by dabigc sums it up the best: “It’s too bad I can’t push a button that gives this album 20 gold stars each autographed by God.” I wish I could be that witty. Oh I just found another good one by anonymous: “If you can listen to “I will Follow You Into the Dark” and sincerely say that this song, this album, and this band aren’t brilliant and amazing, then you have no soul.”  So ya, these suggestions are going to make me go broke. I’ll offer up the gift of an iTunes allowance again to anyone who wants to give me one.

-Jamie, I know isn’t my room wonky?  My house was built by my dad and I really wanted an east facing room. The only way to squeeze that in was between the round stair case (hence the round wall), the eves, and my mom’s walk in closet. My room is pretty tiny, but I have my very own bathroom, which in my opinion is the BEST THING EVER! Oh, and I love the little boxes in the wall next to my bed so I don’t have to waste space with a nightstand. Here this will give you a better understanding of my room:

Hmmm mom and Bill looking at this I’m think I’m going to live here for a few more years. 🙂 Obviously I don’t scrapbook here. I might show that later. But I don’t think it’s as aesthetically pleasing. K, now go buy the Death Cab For Cutie album.

Making me happy:
–Hung up by Madonna, I’ve only listened to it about a million times already.
-My new place for favorite layouts:

-yes that is in my bathroom, another thing making me happy, it’s so clean:

-And if we’re talking clean check out my room:

Yo. I broke this frame that sat in that little metal holder, turns out it’s the perfect size for my slang cards, Sweet!

Grandma, Oprah so does not have a hidden love child, glad I won that bet, Buddah is very happy at my house.

My window seat, sometimes better known as the only place I get decent cell phone reception, “hold on I have to run over to the window seat!” Oh and check out that sky!

-My bed is making me happy right now. See I made that quilt for my little sister. It took me for freaking ever, and then when I was baby-sitting her I found it cramed in a closet. I was sad. But then I highjacked it for myself and I feel much better. I didn’t have a quilt for this bed and the white coverlet was so blah it was killing me.
-I finished a layout I love so much that I’m actually saving it for HOF entry (yes, last year kicked my ass, but I’m trying again, third time’s a charm).
-Sciarrino is coming on Sunday night!  Maybe I’ll do some more artistic drawings of her exploits!
-Smallville and Ballet tonight!

Making me not so happy:
-Not picking Bj up at the airport tonight. It’s really for the best because his mom is in town and it just makes more sense for her to drive a short ways to get him then me a long ways in the dark (!)… but I love airport reunions. They have this magic heroic quality to them I think. Plus it reminds me of my best airport reunion ever: Coming back from camp summer 2002. Bj and I had been apart for months. I could not wait to see him and ran towards the waiting area. Bj had been working at a hardware/lumber place over the summer and got RIPPED. Plus he developed a skin condition that his doctor had him treat by going tanning (weird huh?). So he was tan, buff, oh and wearing a hoodie and backwards baseball cap. So ya, I like airport reunions.
-My spell check on typepad no longer works, what the?!?! I can’t spell, argh.
