Blogs

Even though I suck at posting a blog everyday, I DO read several....every single day. Here are some of my favorites:

THE CRAFTERS
These are the blogs I look at for inspiration. I only wish that I could learn to be more like the women that write these. In fact, that is what I'm working on.


A Bird in the Hand
Wee Wonderfuls
Soule Mama
Hop Skip Jump
Little Birds
Huffmania
Inside a Black Apple

THE DISTRACTIONS
Um, I just can't help but read these everyday...really...just can't help it.


Pink is the New Blog
Museum of Hoaxes
Okay, not a blog...but I look at it everyday all the same:
engrish.com


So, I know that I link to some of these blogs already but I figured it would be good to bring them into the spotlight. Please check them out sometime.

One heck of a post!!

Okay here is my version of catch up......... Last month I sold some of my little pirate cards at the Yoshi NOW! Bizarre Bazaar. It was hot then too...but not as hot as it is now (What is it today? 112? Yuck!) Anyway, it was a blast even though I was slick with sweat. Here is a photo of my sign:




I'm sorry that I'm not posting any actual photos of the cards...I'll do that when I make the next batch. So, moving on.... Fast forward to July 4th, which was my 28th birthday. Mykal and I spent the day in Napa, which is my home town. We visited with my friend Trillium and her mom, shell. Mykal spent the early afternoon watching the World cup with shell's finance, Victor, and I went to a street fair with Trillium. Then we went wine tasting, ate, wine tasted again, walked around St. Helena (where I went to high school), ate dinner, checked in to the hotel, and then settled in downtown to watch the fireworks:



At this point I need to mention that I am sad that France did not win the World cup. I was all for them the whole time, going so far as to say, "when they win" not, "if they win." Oh well, good for Italy.

Okay, now I realize that I forgot an important part of June...the Big Valley Scooter Rally!! Here are a few photos but you can see the rest HERE.









Now, It is highly important to tell you that this WHOLE time that I have not been blogging I have been running into THIS guy regularly and he has given me a very hard time for not blogging more. So this post is dedicated to him. But I digress... here are some photos that I took a few nights ago when the sunset sky was quite beautiful:





This last one features a discarded chair that was behind my apartments:



To fill in all the rest of the time I'll tell you that I have been busy working, trying to stay cool, spending time with various friends, and crafting when I can (or when I feel like it). One of my new favorite things is 80s night every Thursday with James and Raina. So far there has only been two of them but my friends, Kim, Jennifer and I have had a blast at both (actually, we're the only three people that have attended both...but that will change as more people find out about it.) This last week I HAD to dress up because the temptation was too strong. Oh, how I love the 80s.



Well, I hope that this catches everything up to speed. Have blog. Will post.

blah

Oh my gosh!! I am so grounded for not posting anything lately. I have tons of photos and stories to share but it's just too damn hot to think about blogging. Luckily I have friends that actually seem to care if I'm blogging or not so I will try to do better.
