1) I thought I bought some sparkly grey eyeshadow. You know, in case I felt the need to wear fancy eye makeup while Jeff and I went out dancing stayed at home and made pancakes in our pajamas. Turns out, I bought sparkly blue eyeshadow. I don’t think that’s going to be a good look for me seeing as it is not 1987. Also, it’s possible that I’ve put off my eye exam for much too long.
2) Jeff was on a business trip last week and his flight kept getting delayed because of bad weather. Then they had to drain fuel from his airplane because of something about something about the plane being too heavy. This worried me a wee bit because fuel seemed, you know, incredibly important. It seems like maybe they should try removing something else from the plane first, like say people or luggage or pretty much anything that doesn’t help keep the plane in the air. Feeling sincerely worried about this turn of events, I texted my concerns to my husband. Who texted back “If I die young, bury me in satin.” I feel as though perhaps he was mocking me.
3) Remember that time there were ants in my iron? Right. The interwebs says that when the weather changes sometimes ants like to find a water source. And that is the story of what I found when I opened my dishwasher the other morning. Ants. BLEEPING ANTS. First the iron. Now my dishwasher. Apparently the ants have decided to wreak havoc upon all of my good intentions of housewivery. My good friend Google says that dishwashers are a common place for ants to gather in the winter time. You know where I think a better place would be for ants to gather? AN ANTHILL. Or a fire. Or an anthill that is on fire. I poured a bunch of vinegar down the drain (yet another thing I learned from the interwebs) and so far so good except that now my kitchen reeks of vinegar. Bleeping ants.

I totally get you on redoing your title page – I must have reworked mine half a dozen times. I had to use a 2011 picture of us (the horror!) because I couldn’t get a more recent shot. And I almost let that get me down. But then I thought, when I look back on this album, years from now, I won’t have a clue that the shot was not that recent. So, future me will think it’s perfect!
I love your title page, it’s lovely! Can’t wait to see how your book comes together.
First of all, ANTS! YUCK!
Second, yeah, what’s up with not being able to cut a straight line? I actually took my paper cutter into the store where I bought it to demonstrate how it was cutting all crooked and ask what *I* was doing wrong. Do you know that while at the store it cut perfectly straight. I had not considered Justin Bieber… I think you may be right!
Love your PL page!!! And I totally agree…plane fuel seems like that last thing to be getting rid of..LOL!
On a side note, got my Scrap Trap this week and am LOVING it!!
blessings,
I think sparkly blue eyeshadow would be gorgeous on you! It’s one of my favorite colors to wear, the sparklier the better! My eyes are blue and I’ve heard purple goes best with them, so that’s next. Jen has brown eyes and she loves sparkly blue eyeshadow as well – and she looks GREAT with ’tis! So I say try IT!
I am so sorry about your ant sitch. >.< And I'm now afraid of looking in the dishwasher… /shudder
You crack me up, KA! This reminds me of the time when I completely ran out of shampoo, and then I felt super proud of myself for getting a giant bottle of my favorite one on sale…and then realized when I got home that it was conditioner. Also, I love your PL page and will now be on guard every time I open the dishwasher!
best part of this–until I read this post, I thought it was “If I die young, bury me in sadness”.
Oh you crack me up girl! I am still waiting for your book to come out…or for you to start stand-up comic! You have so much to work with
I didn’t even notice that it wasn’t straight until you mentioned it. Love the family photos.
ugh I don’t do well with bugs…and ants in my dishwasher would not go over well with me
yuck! so sorry about that. By the way blue eyeshadow would look nice if you layered it ON TOP of black eyeshadow, or dark charcoal. it would still look dark and smokey, but it would add a little bit of shimmer and look almost navy. Just a thought.
Oh my goodness. I do not want to even think about another ant invasion. My normal response is to grab a random bottle of cleaner & spray, spray, spray. They will go out of this worl in a lemony fresh whirlpool if I have anything to do with it.
Justin beiber is so devious, you just never know. Turned out great anyway, so burn on him.
I love to make old school science fair volcanoes in my kitchen sink all the time by dusting baking soda everywhere and then dousing it in vinegar. The smell usually goes away soon enough
Hey, don’t hate on sparky blue eyeshadow until you’ve tried it! You many come to loooooove it!
As to crooked cuts, depending on your trimmer of course, but mine has a mat that the blade cuts into leaving a groove. Those could throw your cuts off. If not that, must be JB. No other explanation. Glad Jeff made it home safely.
