Fancy That...

We got our first Fancy subscription box today.  Very exciting!!  If you haven't been there, you must.  There's tons of cool stuff to be found.

 The box was pretty big.  

Our loot:

• A pop phone.  This is very fun.  I'll definitely be embarrassing the kids while walking around the mall using this.
• Snow globe salt & pepper shakers.  They have bears inside of them.  Supr cool.
• F in Exams book.  We actually already have this book, but it's a fun read.
• Mustache bandaids.  These will be saved for only very special boo-boos.
• Sparq stones.  Basically, rock ice cubes.  Neat, but I'm not sure if I'll use them.  Might have to gift these to someone who might.
• Silver fingernail polish.  
• And, my favorite item:  Pixel glasses.

My dad looks pretty sharp in those glasses.

I love Fancy!  Can't wait til next month!

Personality Test

I just took a personality test.  I'm an INFP.  That means I'm an Idealist.

Interesting. 

People like me include Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling, Lord of the Rings author, J.R.R. Tolkien, actress and activist Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana, and co-founder of this personality test, Isabel Briggs Myers. 

La la la la la....

This is so true...

Halloween Bummer

This is the first year that I didn't have a kid having a Halloween party at school.  They are too old.

Which, of course, means that I am getting too old.

Only Savannah is going trick or treating.  With a friend.  I'm not invited.  :(

So, I'm sitting at home for the first time in 14 years on Halloween with nothing to do.

Then I remembered -- David Sedaris is performing in Lincoln tonight.  I called.  There is a ticket available for a singleton (like myself) IN THE FRONT ROW!

Guess what?  I can't get there in time.  :(

So, it's a Halloween Bummer.

Guerrilla Knitting

I knit and crochet.  For fun.

And, I'm not a granny.

So, I've signed up to become a guerrilla knitter.  Mostly because the idea of being a guerrilla knitter is hilarious to me.

There is a group in LA, known as Yarn Bombing Los Angeles, that has been invited to cover the entire exterior facade of the Craft and Folk Art Museum in granny squares.    

I kind of wish this was something that was planned and the museum didn't invite the group to do this.  The idea of someone showing up to work in the morning at the museum they'd just left the day before, only to discover it's covered in granny squares.  

That would be awesome!

But, anyway.   I'm going to be a part of it.  And it will still be awesome.

Post Book Blahs

I've just finished reading a great book.  Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore: A Novel by Robin Sloan.  I loved it.  It was the perfect book at the perfect time for me.  A tech-y mystery set in San Francisco all revolving around a 24 hour bookstore.  I highly recommend it.

But, now I've got the post book blahs.  This happens whenever I read a book that totally sucks me in.  I don't want to leave that world and now nothing else appeals to me.

It's a bummer.

But, I have to get over it.  Because today is a special day.  A day that I didn't even know was special.

It's Savannah's half birthday!

She got a tootsie pop with a candle in it.  And a tiny rainbow in the sky.

I think that rocks.

Brains!

We've become hooked on the Walking Dead. We watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix and now we make no plans for Sunday nights so we can watch season 3. Thanks to this zombie obsession my brains r now in great danger. This is what snuck up on me tonight.

Crap.
