we survived a storm in 2003 and 9 days without power.... we have power, but the neighbor's yard has been decimated by the ice, and now, we are getting snow on top of it.
i stand by my thoughts on this matter: snow is pretty on tv.

apparently, taking a virginity pledge does not stop pre-marital sex. in fact, those kids are just as sexually active as the ones who didn't take the pledge:
from the newsdesk of webmd
the thing that shocks me about this study is that 82% of the pledgers denied taking the pledge five years later! in addition, the use of contraceptives among the pledgers is quite shocking.
you know, i believe whole heartedly in abstinence education. abstinence is the only way to prevent 100% anything from happening, however, i do believe in informing kids of their options out there. condoms, pills, diaphragms, sponges, spermicides, implants, etc. it is up to each kid to decide what is right for them on a moral, ethical, emotional, personal level. but if they are informed, maybe they'll make the best "healthy" choice for themselves.

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!
