The Past and Pending
Listening: David Bowie, Neil Young, old The Shins - I've been in a world of ups and downs the last few weeks, so my music has to be pretty chill in order to keep me down to earth.
reading: "Stripped" by Bernadette Barton, which is a really interesting sociological look at strippers and what societal impacts have on their psyche, "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk, the latest issue of Glamour, because sometimes when you're poolside you have to have a bit of light reading.
watching: "The Reader" - which is amazing, and covered a lot of concepts that I dealt with in some of my papers for my Nazi history class in the spring. Oh, and I finally got around to watching "Slumdog Millionare" and I finally realize why it was such a hit!
wearing: navy blue crew neck tshirt that is a thousand years old, grey twill skirt that I wear a lot, a thrifted mens belt, flower bobby pin, flippy floppies, and a gold dangly necklace. Basically the last outfit.
wanting: to clear up some emotional garbage! Every time that I think my life is clear and simple, some aspect of it becomes inexplicably complicated. Maybe I just think about things too much, or I know too many people which creates problems in itself. I need to be a better friend! Also, on a more trivial level, I want to see Inception.
plans of the day: Well, it's 7pm at the moment. I've already made the car trek home from my grandparents' house and eaten dinner with family that was in town. I think tonight I will be seeing a few friends but hopefully nothing rambunctious.

Snapshot 7-22-10
Top:Fashion Bug?Maybe.
Belts,layered: Thrift scores! (how do you like the 2 belt look,btw?)
skirt: toybox
Heels:Thift score!label: Fahrenheit!
And this outfit,
Skirt: Deb,knockoff of victoria's secret design
top: oooold cami.No idea where from.
shoes: Think! ergonomic sandals
SNAPSHOT!
Listening: I set my alarm to wake me up today with Ben's Brother Beta Male Fairytales. It's such a sweet cd...it makes me happy and sad all at the same time.
Also today,and for the last week really,I can't quit listening to Dream Theater . Today it was Train of Thought. Yes they are musical ehm...*show*...offs...but as a drummer I sometimes simply have to push past the lyrics,and James(the annoying person singing them), and just enjoy the amazingness that is Mike Portnoy.I wish I was that awesome.Particularly...I am trying to learn this intro:
trust me,it's harder than it looks.
reading: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.Kind of amazing that something written in 1847 resonates with me so well..
watching: Right now, Scrubs.Also, I finally saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.It made me cry...but I still just want to watch it over and over and over...
wearing: as little as possible,because it has been the hottest few days we've had yet,and I'm trying to not run the air conditioning too hard.
wanting: for the slipcover and decals I ordered online to arrive so I can finally show off pics of my completely decorated home!Also,a nice new camera to replace my shotty digital,and a new steam press,and a new serger.Business is growing..my equipment collection should grow,too,right?Right.
plans of the day: Finish upholstering my futon,make a dress,make some throw pillows,weight training and tennis with the boys (Dave,and two of my cousins/our best friends, whom our whole group refer to as 'the boys').And then, hopefully, a date with my hubby:) I think we're gonna go play pool and watch some live music.Woot!
UPDATE!I finished the futon! what do you think?

Flying Monkey Artist Market!
{me & Hayley,all glowy (read : sweaty)from the nerf swordfight that just happened}
****
Hello Everyone! sorry for the lag in posts.I've been concentrating on getting better(which I FINALLY did,after five effing weeks),and catching up on work.(Which means you should really check out my other blog,and see all my new products ,hehee!)And enjoying lots of playing outside:)
Also,about the sick thing...I figured out the neti pot bit,and it works wonders!even for the last few days that I've been better,I've still been using it and I think it helps my allergies.No more claritin, yay!
ON to the title subject:
Last Saturday I hawked my wares,stalked the wares of others,and made some new friends at the Flying Monkey Artist Market for the second time. It was way more better this time,because Dave (my Mister) got to stay most of the whole time,and Hayley and her Mister, Shawn, came too!We're doing it again either this Saturday or the next,after which I'll post some pics and explain a little more about this weekly event:)
Of course we were hungry after,so we went to Taco Bell.The soda made us hyper,so once we got back to our place, Dave got out the nerf swords and we played in the yard like the bunch of five-year-olds we really are! I promise,I'll show you pics of this soon,lol!
Anywho,here's what I wore:
Tank: JCPenney
Gingham High Waisted Skirt: {Hedda.} (These will be available on my etsy soon!)
Belt:Thrift score!!!One Dollar,Baby.
Kickass Shoes: gift from the lovely Becky!I can't remember where she said she got them...little help m'dear?
AND! I'll show you better pics of it soon,but how cool is my new barefoot sandal?I got it from a sweet girl selling across from me.After staring at it alll day wanting it,I gave in and bought it at the end.I love it so much,I've hardly taken it off since!
I'd do a snapshot,but this is feeling a bit long already,so I'll do it tomorrow with today's outfit:)
CYA!

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
Watching: "Breakfast at Tiffany's" again, "Beerfest" (I am ashamed to admit this one - I feel like I wasted too much of my life), and re-runs of "Friends", which never gets old. Oh, and also, my summer slipping away.
Wearing: Olive green deep V neck from Target and some heather grey workout shorts, also from Target. In my defense, I have to go to work later and could really care less about being cute while I'm just hanging out in my house.
Wanting: to become a bartender, to graduate school, to move out, to figure my life out, to have this glorious rainy day not be ruined by work.
Plans of the Day: get ready for work, go to work, sell Yuppies who think they have wonderfully witty comments overpriced coffee products, and then the night is mine :-)

Neutrals
Soory for the sideways-ness. But I am being lazy and don't want to undo the upload now that I've realized my pics are sideways...so just tilt your screens,Kay?
Top:Express
Belt: another one of the amazing aforementioned thrift scores.
shorts and shoes:JCPenney
I've been wearing a variation of this theme quite a bit in this heat.Army green shorts or skirt,black or brown top,black or brown sandals.Usually I add a touch of gold or brass in there,and some cool rings.Basically this is just a very easy thing for me to go with because I have so many things in my closet in these colors.And easy has been necessary,because I have literally been sick for almost a month.And clearly the lack of activity is having it's effect..as I could barely squeeze into my skinny jeans yesterday.Or maybe it's not the being sick,maybe I am getting..not a beer belly...but perhaps cocktail thighs?Sigh.Not that I have low self-esteem or anything(most of you know it tends to be quite the opposite)but I really hate not being able to wear things that I love.BAH.
Anyhow! My sister,AKA The-Coolest,and her manfriend were in town for The Fourth.I was feeling mostly well while they were here,so we had a grand time.I was exhausted when they left,but some sistery time was exactly what I've been needing.I miss her.
The End.
OHOHOH.PS: I got a neti pot to try and help this cold/sinus bit...anyone have any tips on how the crap to not drown myself??
