down with the sickness

upper respiratory infection is what i got. wonderful. i mean i don't feel sick and paying for medicine sucks blah.

hot like a sauna

it's all gross out. it's about 108 degress. No joke. The cave, aka the apartment, has been cool-ish.

saw no doubt. it was like the inner 6th grade girl came out of me. i was really giddy and i think i sang myself sick. my throat hurts.



also got the meet the sounds!!!!

sneak peak

i bought a grab bag of buttons and made some rings and earrings. It was not originally planned but sometimes inspiration hits you in ass.

here we go again.

crafty wonderland
july 12
doug fir 11-4pm
portland, or

we're adding rings this time around. be there or be triangle.

remember the time we realized thriller was out favorite song

recap:
the vaycay was awesome. i went back to the lbc and saw everyone i wanted to see and more. got a new pair of glasses and a sweet necklace.

went to san diego, ate at buca, went to a wedding, saw snipers and i got to see edward and dodged a car hood on the freeway!

went to oxnard and saw the family and stuffed my face, it was amazing. saw kimmie, the little sister. hung out with the big sister des and went to dargans. woot! also hung out with stepahine cruz, good f-ing times!

now i'm in portland. i had a great weekend, even if i had to work. hung out with eileen and michael. danced at the fez, and hung out at the westin.

on the 4th i tried to stay alive during a roman candle war, played with sparklers and sat in the rose garden with anissa's family. the roses are still beautiful at night. i also ran from the cops with cheryle. it was crazy!

today i ate at gravy with eid, michael, anissa and shane. it was amazing, and again it was worth the long wait. saw melanni and nicholas too! we keep running into each other at various breakfast spots in town. i guess we both have good taste in breakfast. good company, good food what more can i ask for. i love my family and my friends. these are all just lovely memories now.

biscuits and veggie gravy, the greco omelette( mushrooms, swiss and spinach), with hash browns, and a damn good bloody mary @ gravy, portland, or

welcome to the oc bitch.

so i watched the oc and was very disturbed. i heard the song wonderwall, but it wasn't by oasis. it was super slow and stuff it sucked ass. i say play oasis version or nothing at all. and i think its creepier that i played that song for my vday show and this was oc's vday show. i swear they are following me.


"see it for yourself

five years later and still watching the same shit.

anyways, leaving for home for a vacay. going to long beach, see friends, then san diego, see edward and a wedding, then home to see my family and some old friends.

on thursday we tried to climb multnomah falls. and then we gave up. then off to the rose garden. i went in the winter and the roses were sticks. on thursday, they were beautiful!





in a cave.

part time lover, full time hater

the 90's. such a good time to grow up. maybe i at the time i was living at home and had nothing to worry about, but i'm pretty sure it was still a good time to grow up.

a sample of a playlist un-knee-saw, shane and i complied.



we're working on a 90's rock list. i can tell you it WILL include "hunger strike."

fade away into teeny bopper obscurity

i think it is about a season late, but i just found a great bright yellow nail polish. it is wonderful. it's not highlighter. i also picked up a scarf that i wanted at target at a clearance price. i almost stole it on accident. uhkneesaw bought some candy in the shape of eggs. delish.



shirt, scarf, nail polish and sandals, target; diy cutoff shorts, sears; necklace; betsey johnson; sweater, billabong.

here is a close up on the egg candy and the yellow.

goal: to be a disney channel stylist. inspired by watching: jonas and another cinderella story.

tell your girl to stop paging

i've had good luck with the goodwill lately. i found an amazingly awesome bunny sweater, a dooney and burke purse from the 80's and a great blouse.


feeling inspired...

in other news found carne asada fries!!

i love the new chester cheetah. refers to himself as "papa chester", wears sunglasses, iconic



i love karl lagerfeld. some times referred to as "papa karl", wears sunglasses, iconic



the new chester cheetah has to be based on karl lagerfeld.

nothing can stop this baby

so we didn't get laughed out of crafty wonderland.

next time we will be better prepared. promise. more bow tie necklaces.

it's amazing what you find

i am excited and terrified for sunday. what if the crafting community of portland laughs me out of the doug fir? will this ever amount to anything? mind over manners? is that even a good name?






i started sewing stuff. i made bows. i think i will sell them.

i know at once there is no place i'd rather be

i am a hopeless romantic, i hope this movie is better than juno.

hungry for life without your pity

Minds over Manners.

it could be so easy if it didn't feel so wrong

i remember going to this art show sometime last year. mercedes helnwein is one of my favorite artists.


hooters!



went to hooters for my birthday. i had a free meal. i was trying to keep it cheap but i guess i failed. the food isn't good but i can't pass up free food! it was a little different this year. usually i know what i want to do. sushi at damion with friends and then house of hayden. i would have loved sushi but i can't afford it and i wouldn't want to subject my friends to pay for my meal. also i don't have a bar in portland that i can say this is the bar i want to go to.

Seeing them in my dark cupboard with my great big cake

I'm one quarter!

i'm drunk off your kiss

OMG NFG!

Remind me to spend some good time with you

it was a beautiful day to be outside.



oregon is beautiful. wish you were here.






all the best wishes .

Suddenly the wheels are in motion

i made a card for a friend that got married. inspired by those frito commericals.




This is how my eyes feel in the morning.

this is real this is me

I like to think I am an honest person and feel I need to get this off my chest. I watched camp rock in full. there i admitted it. i like to stay young and hip with it.......it was actually quite entertaining but not as good as Brink. Nothing will top that movie.

And you won't fail with me around

recently i've been into painting my nails. it really calms me down. I think i've changed colors three times in the past two weeks. i've settled on a dark blue, for now.

what is amazing is that for about 19 - 20 years i was a nail biter. it is pretty intense how low i can bite them. i tried to grow them out only to bite them. the only thing to stop me was nail polish. i don't know why i bite my nails. i've always thought it was gross and not lady like. but nobody stopped me so i continued to bite away. i've grown up and i haven't bitten my nails for 4 years. i'm pretty proud of myself. credit should be given when credit is due. thanks shane for helping break the horrid habit.

to other things great. did you know that i love karl lagerfeld?
