I'm not hiding my excitement for this anymore

I'm not sorry.

someone's gettin' crafty

and not wearing makeup on her day off.
that someone would be me.


this would be my slowly growing hello kitty watch collection.


I knitted something!




I also made a feathery headband. I'm not sure how I feel about it though.

everything's coming up rachel!

happyhappyhappyhappyhappy
yes!

yours truly is seeing kings of leon in cleveland in may (all thanks to the best bff in the world).
also all thanks to the best bff in the world, i am the proud owner of a sweet hello kitty watch.

My Valentine's Day cookies, cupcakes and Valentines were a success!
I love baking but even more than baking, I love it when the people I made the baked goods for enjoy them. It's love.
That's a lot of love.

valentine's day with no valentine?

it's the first time in years for me but that's no reason why I can't get festive.
Today will be spent baking cut out sugar cookies and some sort of cupcake (red velvet with a cream cheese icing probably).

I was eating conversation hearts this afternoon and found one that said "Don't Tell". Don't tell? this is not romantic. Sounds like the conversation heart a rapist would give his victim.

I've been completely in love with Mary Blair recently (thanks to daniel).
I think I'd like to get this tattooed on my right side (instead of the CandyLand scene) OR the CandyLand done in the style of Mary Blair.
hmm..

there ain't no win in winter

I updated my 2008 mix cd...too bad the cd exchange at work was over a week ago. Away went Cold War Kids (do I really actually like them? I don't think so), I swapped out one Passion Pit song for another, added Chester French, The Bird and The Bee and the Ting Tings. I'm extremely happy with it.

After tomorrow my little man will not be able to make little men. Miles is getting fixed.

I was the laughing stock of a small gathering of homeless at last evening's Gallery Hop. This sounds like it could be a really hilarious story but I promise it's not. I was walking into a bookstore, I tripped over some uneven sidewalk but caught myself and tried to pretend like nothing happened and no one saw it but I was then approached by a snickering homeless woman asking for 35 cents. I stop, hand her a handful of change, she's talking to me about buying chips, looks down, notices that I'm wearing flip flops (yes, I realize there's still snow on the ground but I've been waiting MONTHS for it to break freezing so I could be reunited with my beloved Rainbow flip flops), she calls over several of her friends and they all stand around laughing at the fact that I'm wearing flip flops in February.
The most random things tend to happen to me. Things that don't happen to anyone else. I like it that way.

the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me

thank you, mister.
