I'm still working on my H-ween stuff... procrastination is a disease and I'm infected. trying to deal with school/family/finding a new place to live dramas so here is a quick little blog for you.
From Friday Fun
1. Are you still close to your childhood friends? How have those friendships changed? I met my bff in 10th grade, she is the other half of my brain. Other than getting older, fatter and having kids we haven't really changed.
2. Do you think online friendships can be as close as IRL friends? Why or why not? Absolutely! Often I think you can get to a deeper level of friendship more quickly because there is so much conversation and sharing information. Some of my dearest friends were people I "met" online.
3. A lot of people think that marital problems should stay private. While sometimes that might be true, I don’t think it is always so. Sometimes you just need to talk it out with a friend. What is your feeling on the subject? Well i think you need to have boundaries and use a mental/mouth filter here and there but I usually need my bff to work through my feelings, thoughts and vent some of the raw emotion so I don't blast my dh. It has saved his butt more often then he realizes.
4. Have you ever felt betrayed by a friend? Were you able to work through it or did it end the friendship? I have and the friendship continued for a bit but finally ended. Only in looking back was I able to see just how deeply she had used me.
5. Do you have friends from days past that you wish were still in your life?There are a few that I would love to reconnect with but overall I am very happy with the friends I have and I don't pine for the past.
Ok now what I've watched...
Well now you have seen the books I've read so far in 2008, how about a movie list.
Hopefully this works... http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=38922287

Good Reads, well sometimes
Books I've read so far in 2008. Man I've read some total crap. lol Oh well, at least I read, right? ;) You should recommend some new books for me. :D
Better than Botox
We got a face lift!
I thought my little blog needed some updates. So we upgraded to the "new" blogger, changed the title and description and of course got my girl a brand new dress (template) to show off.
I think she looks lovely. :D

Laptop sleeve
I was inspired by this http://blog.betzwhite.com/2008/08/sketchy-maclaptop.html But she knows how to use a sewing machine and her end product is much nicer.
Mine is hand sewn and is pretty good, IMO.
This was the first attempt. I liked the panels and I was proud of my work but it was too loose so they had to go.
Right now the screen is still blank because the lines weren't coming out right and I was really tired of putzing with it. I'm not sure if it is going to have lines or not by the time I have to leave. I think it is pretty cute even blank though lines would make it much better. I should have tried to add them before I sewed the panel in but if there is a hard way to do something I will certainly find it. I'll get a pic later of it on the laptop so you can get a better idea of it.
That's all for now, folks

p.s. Ok I needed to take pics for the other blog Sole Mate Toys so I went ahead and slipped the laptop in the sleeve for you. ;)

Right as rain
and we are getting lots of rain! Ugh as if the storm wasn't bad enough. Bleh
Anyway Gustav ended up being no big concern at our house, we never even lost power. So now we are just storing supplies and keeping an eye on the weather channel.
We were very lucky. Many areas were hit hard, They are saying that Houma may be without power for a month. :(
