Recently in holy smokes! Category
the title says it all. that is what i am having.
i have despammed this website. you know, i would like to point out that years ago, spam was only a pantry problem. that issue of opening the pantry, seeing it on the shelf because it migrated there with some fruitcake some insane person gave you during the holidays, that was the only time people encountered spam.
now, i have it on good authority, and that authority being one person i met from hawaii, that hawaiians love spam. bless them for taking one for the team. maybe, they would like to take care of website spam problems for us too. i mean, why else is hawaii a state, if not to take care of spam problems for the rest of us.

well. the project is complete!!! omg! i have finally organized and cleaned up my sewing/crafting loft.
you have no idea the nightmare this was. this is a "before" photo. as in after i had already started cleaning the place up and organizing it and before the finish. this was in MAY! and yes, that is what my sewing table looked like. there was fabric everywhere and chaos to follow.
and this! this is the finish. ORGANIZATION! now, for you serious sewers, you'll notice the stash is small, and that is because i donate all scraps to a group that makes quilts for kids with cancer. i do not believe in fabric sitting on a shelf waiting to be used for years on end. use it or donate is my very strict policy! it does help keep the place organized and i am always able to buy new fabric with no fear of "where do i put it?"
and if you would like to see the rest of the photos to see all of it, then check it out on t's flickr account. it was worth every minute of it!

went to ikea today to buy another bookshelf to finish my crazy sewing room organization project. you have no idea what i have done to the upstairs. well. if you sew or craft or do anything with a space that is not for bathing, cooking, or sleeping, then you know exactly what i have done. i have lost my mind.
why have i lost my mind? because i was stupid enough to look inside a quilt magazine at some quilt room organization article. dumb. i know. but here i am, reorganizing, like a crazy crazy girl!

so the other day i was digging through the smittenkitchen when i found this!!!!
now i have watched it 1000 times if not a million. so we decided to try it this evening. well t failed to do it. i failed on my first attempt, but the second time, when i blew "with gusto" i was jumping up and down because out came the egg! OMG that was the most fun ever. now, when i make deviled eggs!!! or egg salad, or anything that requires a bunch of eggs.... i have a fun way to peel them.
ps. the music rocks my socks!

so today, i managed to forget my lunch. now normally, this is fine and dandy and i can survive until i can find food. for whatever reason though, i was starving by the time i made it to the office and could have gnawed off one of my feet. i was starved. it felt like i hadn't eaten in years. seriously, if i had looked in a mirror, i would have seen an olsen twin, that is how hungry i was.
so i made it home and remembered the leftovers in the fridge from my dinner last night. i already regret eating them for a couple of reasons. the first being, shudder, they were leftovers, shudder, with meat. i ate it last night and it was good but i do not like leftovers and i especially don't like leftovers with meat in them. there is something about it that repulses me to the core and usually i can eat about half of it before i want to gag and end up throwing out the rest.
the second reason is that i managed to eat the whole container of leftovers and i am now pregnant with a food baby. (thank you juno for teaching me the term because i totally get the "food baby".) yes. my tummy went from chubby from all the lattes and the fact that the weather has been so wonky that i haven't walked to work much (joining gym in may), to now a food baby belly. i think i am gonna be sick.

have you ever gone to your blog to look at it for a moment and are surprised to find that your post is a few days old? not because you haven't written anything but because you are sure that you did write something? so sure, that you think you remember sitting at the computer typing up a post about something so important that it was sure to cure world hunger and create world peace? certain that you had hit the submit button after having picked tags and categories and searches? have you ever done that?
because i have. i am pretty sure that i typed a post and posted it but it isn't there. i just don't know what the post is about and if i am dreaming this or if i am just crazy. the latter. clearly.
