A week of firsts....

Things I did this past week, that I have never done before:

Purchased a pair of dress-flats.

Flew on an airplane.



Was violated by the pornographic airport scanning machine.

Spent more than 1 night away from my girls.

Had dinner at a brewery.

Found a bottled Pibb Xtra (they only have it in the fountain here).


Attended all my classes the entire week.

Met one of my most favorite girls EVAH!

Stood in a hailstorm/rain downpour for a stinkin' DONUT! (MiMi had a hood! She only took it off for the picture!)

Braved the world of voodoo.


Got honked at by a bus, for being in the bus lane in a car!

Hung out in a gay bar.

Sat in a hotel lobby gabbing until nearly 2 in the morning.

I can't wait to elaborate on my week in Portland. It really was a wonderful week, even if I did come home feeling like a truck is parked on my chest. I have some sort of nasty cough and sore throat - no beuno!

But it was so worth it! Especially the part about meeting MiMi! Yes people, she IS as fabulous in person as she is on the blog!

Stay tuned to hear all about it! I missed you!

I don't even remember wearing that hood! LOL! I know I did, though, cuz it would have been dumb not too...that being said, I'm totally dumb!
You also saw some people who were possible Green River Killers!
And we did the "gay or not gay" game!
And...what else. UM, bottomed out so hard we hit the ceiling in the car! That was awesome!!
HEHEHEHEHEHE!! I just wish you weren't sick. BOOOOOOOO.

First time On a plane? Did you enjoy it- other than the porno scan- I have not been subjected to one of those yet.

So glad you had such a fun time and hope you feel better soon.

Is this post just to torture me? I think the answer is yes. Just think of the endless fun WE ALL 3 would have had together. That makes me feel a little bit better.

Wait...a gay bar? Really?

Was the donut worth the wait?

Wow....you really did have a packed week of firsts. I am jealous. I don't think I have ever done that many firsts at one time....although...I have at one time or another covered most of your list. Were the Voodoo donuts good?

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t
