texas christmas > your christmas

aaaaahhhhhhhhhh, texas december. for someone with a broken heater in her car, texas winters are kickass! why you may ask?

exhibit a:

today is christmas eve-eve i am wearing a sleeveless, short dress to work (its festive!) and i totally dont look like a crazy person for doing so. im dressed practical for once.

exhibit b:

this is where i work, y'all! so pretty...

exhibit c:

yes, that decorative christmas deer does have a penis.
p.s. it was across the street from a church

and exhibit d:

the fireworks ban has been lifted! tyler and i went to check out the ol' fireworks warehouse this weekend and i found this! it was like a billion dollars... or maybe 20... either way too pricey for battle kittens. ill make my own.

so, things are looking pretty sweet. eh?

v cards and puppies

so... my work computer is a frat boy. i was snooping around the other day and found an alarming folder:

v cards! and do you know what was in that file? phone numbers and address of GIRLS! ahahahahaha! i better watch out, this computer is out to get some ass, brah.

and speaking of getting ass- or not getting ass, audrey boo boo is getting the ol' snip snip this week.

her dreams of becoming a real woman are gonna be crushed! but, the place she is going is a non profit animal rescue/hospital, and they gave my other dog and my sisters dog the ol' low-cost snip snip earlier this year, so im going to give them a big ol' donation when boo boo gets dropped off. anyone who helps puppy dogs is ok in my book!

and one more bit of randomness. i found this the other day when i was walking to work.

a fall out shelter? its nice to know that if the shit hits the fan, safety is just a few blocks away... except this is in a church, and im not 100% sure jesus will let me in.

unfinished projects

there are more than just these. but you dont need to know that. for all you know im a liar and these were all finished this morning! they weren't, but whatever... BEHOLD! LINENS!

dress 1 used to be a pillow case. it is both cute and spring-y... but i havent finished the hem on bottom because hems are stupid and are my least favorite part of making a dress. that and zippers, but only because i suck at zippers. if i was better, i probably would like it more. but hems, pfffft, those a just boring. this baby is all held together with bows!

dress 2 i DID finish! woo wooooo! i made it for a friend of mine, plus i even had enough to make another dress for her little girl of the same fabric. it used to be a twin size sheet. and, plus plus, it has a zipper! an alright zipper!

dress 3 is doomed to roam the earth for the rest of its pathetic life unfinished like a zombie dress because all of the fabric got thrown away before i was able to finish cutting out the peices for the interfacing. and it has a zipper. and it doesnt even fit me because i have small boobs! grrr.... im just so bitter. its made out of a sheet but i cant find another one anywhere, or a awesome fabric to finish it with.

sounds to me like im full of excuses.
meh.

december costume post- right on time

'procrastination' should be my middle name. or 'can't ever do/show up on time.'
