True Me Tuesday

Originally these posts were supposed to be a way of me to show you that I'm a normal person, with failings and problems and imperfections.

But sometimes that's a bit exhausting to come up with a failing of my own once a week (I can't imagine why).

So today I'm going to give you a few more things about myself... oddities that make me who I am. I think I'll intersperse these with my failings so as to save my precious ego.

Ready?

1. I can't stand yams, but I'm not sure I've ever eaten them.

2. The color combination of red and black always makes me think of Native Americans.

3. I totally connect with Belle (in Beauty and the Beast) up until she falls in love with an animal.

4. I hate glitter so much it might be slightly OCD.

5. I think Cumin smells like sweat, and yet it's one of my favorite spices.

6. I eat cake, graham cackers, or pie in a bowl with milk poured over it.

7. I've never set foot in California.

9. I like eating cherry pie filling out of a can.

10. I adore the TV series West Wing and have every season. I love it so much that when I am in a funk Ralexwin has been known to say 'Let's watch some West Wing.'


Perhaps tomorrow I will be in a better mood for writing. :)

You make me laugh! Has your sister introduced you yet to the Myers Brigg personality test? That line about Beauty and the Beast gives you away,
but I won't tell you how...take the test and you'll see. ;)

Milk over cake??? Huh, interesting. I like the cherry pie filling out of a can too, but I don't like cherry pies. Weird right. I love oddities, it makes us all so unique :)

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
