Can't Remember What I Was Gonna Say

I USED TO BE A LOT MORE ORGANIZED ABOUT

THIS WHOLE BLOGGING THING.  

I EVEN KEPT AN OUTLINE OF IDEAS.

NOW IT'S ALL WILLY NILLY.

AS A RESULT I MISS THINGS I WANTED TO BLOG

ABOUT AND FORGET GOOD IDEAS I'VE HAD.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA SAY MEH.

SO FUCK IT.  MEH.

HERE'S WHAT I CAN REMEMBER I WANT TO BLOG 

ABOUT RIGHT NOW:

LOOK AT THIS TUCSON WEEKLY DESPENSER.

I WANNA SAY IT'S A LEGO MAN.

I WAS WANDERING DOWN 4TH AND HE SAID

"I'M SO CUTE YOU SHOULD DIVERT OVER HERE

AND TAKE A PICTURE OF ME!" SO I DID.

THAT'S A MOTHERFUCKING BLOG RIGHT THERE.

Something For Mom- Gifts from Brooklyn

 YAY!  HALLOWEEN WEEKEND IS HERE!

I HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING WELL SO I HOPE

I HAVE STAMINA FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.

I ALWAYS MANAGE TO FIND IT THOUGH!
IN MEADOW'S PHONE I AM "THE LUSHIEST
IN THE LAND".  STU IS "MILK SPASM".  LONG STORY.

FOR THIS MONTH'S SOMETHING FOR MOM
(SEE LAST MONTH'S POST HERE)

I DECIDED TO DO A BLOG ON THE GIFTS SHE

BROUGHT ME BACK FROM BROOKLYN ABOUT

A YEAR AGO.  THEY WERE SO CUTE AND FAB

AND I STILL HAVE AND USE ALL OF THEM.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IN PAST BLOGS,
MOM HAS BEEN EXTREMELY GENEROUS
WITH CENTENNIAL HALL TICKETS LATELY.
SHE LOVES TO GIVE TO HER CHILDREN AND
FEELS BAD WHEN SHE CAN'T.  SHE HAS ALWAYS
LOVED TO SHOW HER LOVE FOR US THROUGH GIFTS.

THIS YEAR I THINK SHE IS WORRIED SHE WON'T
BE ABLE TO GIVE AS MUCH AS SHE'D LIKE.
THIS BLOG IS A SHOUT OUT TO MOM, AND A
REMINDER THAT SHE HAS ALREADY GIVEN ME
SO MUCH THAT I DON'T NEED ANYTHING MORE!

MOM'S LIFE AND LOVE ALONE IS ENOUGH
OF A GIFT FOR ME!


SHE WENT TO THE TIM BURTON EXHIBIT WHILE SHE
WAS IN BROOKLYN.  TIM BURTON WILL ALWAYS REMIND
ME OF HALLOWEEN.  I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!

THESE MAGNETS ARE SO GREAT!

THE ONE BELOW IS A BAD PIC, THE FLASH

GIVES IT A GLARE BUT WITHOUT IT IT'S TOO

DARK.  BUT YOU GET THE IDEA!!

MOM ALSO BROUGHT ME BACK 4 GLITTER FILLED

BOUNCY BALLS.  THESE WERE ALSO FROM MOMA.

TODAY THEY LIVE ON MY SHELF.
THEY DEFLATED FOR SOME REASON BUT I
STILL LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK,
AND YOU CAN PUT THEM IN AN EGG CUP!

AND THEN FINALLY IS THIS BROOKLYN BUTTER DISH.

I LOVE THE PICTURE ON IT!  I USE IT AS A SPOON REST

INSTEAD OF A BUTTER DISH THOUGH.  IT WOULD BE

A TRAVESTY TO COVER IT UP WITH BUTTER.

SO MUCH FUN STUFF!

THIS BLOG SHOULD BE RETITLED

"SOMETHING FROM MOM"!

☮ ✌ ☮ ✌ ☮

What Are You Crafting Now?

WELL TRULY THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING.

LINDA ASKED ME THIS LAST SUNDAY AT DAD'S

HOUSE AND IT REMINDED ME THAT EVEN WHEN

I'M NOT CRAFTING, I'M CRAFTING.

MOST RECENTLY I HELPED STU OUT WHEN HE

HOSTED OUR FRIEND ERIC MANCH'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.

THIS YEARLY EVENT IS REFERRED TO AS 

MANCHTOBERFEST.

MANCH IS WELL KNOWN FOR HIS MUSTACHES

AND LAST YEAR I WORE A GLITTER MANCHSTACHE.

THIS YEAR WE PAID TRIBUTE IN BROWNIE.

ORIN AND JANNELL GAVE ME THIS BAKING MOLD.

STU ASKED ME TO MAKE A BANNER FOR THE PARTY.

THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH:

THE GLITTER DETAIL TOOK ME QUITE SOME TIME.

MANCHTOBERFEST HAS AN ALARMING LARGE

NUMBER OF LETTERS IN IT.

 WITH MEADOW'S HELP, I DID THESE APPLE CANDLE

HOLDERS AND MINI PUMPKINS INSPIRED BY MR. KATE.

 THE THUMBTACKS GAVE IT A 

MORE MASCULINE, METAL FEEL.  

AND THEN FINALLY, I MADE A SPHERE

CAKE FOR THE PARTY.  I'M NOT POSTING PICS THOUGH

BECAUSE IT WAS A PRACTICE RUN FOR TXGVG

AND I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE SURPRISE!

I HAVE ALSO CRAFTED THE CENTERPIECES FOR TXGVG!

I THINK I'LL POST HINTS ABOUT THOSE.

HINT #1- WHICH YOU ALREADY KNEW, FALL LOOT!

SEE YOU SOON BUNNY BANANA!

☠ ☠ ☠

Then This Happened!

SO THAT HAPPENED, BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED!

TEMPORARY FIX- FELT EYE PATCH!

THANKS TO TREVOR FOR THE IDEA.

NOW HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SIT FACING THE CORNER!

YAY!

Squash, Onion, and Pear

IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

Candy vs. Corn

THIS COULD SOON BECOME THE ONLY CORN I AM
WILLING TO EAT. EXCEPT THAT IT PROBABLY
CONTAINS CORN SYRUP.  DOH!

#1-  GMO CORN LINKED TO ORGAN FAILURE.

#2-  GMO CORN SOON TO BE SNUCK INTO A DIET NEAR YOU.

I'M NOT HAPPY.

Sunday at Dad's

I WANT A JINGLE FOR THE SUNDAY AT DAD'S

BLOG.  SOME CHEESY INTRO JINGLE TO IT.

"IIIIIT'S  SUNDAY!  OOOH OOOOH OH OH!

YES, THAT DAY!  OOOH OOOOH OH OH!

HOLLA DAD DAY!  OOOH OOOOH OH OH!"

NOT TOO MUCH OUTSIDE OF THE FOOD TO REPORT

ABOUT THIS PAST SUNDAY.  MEADOW CAME OUT

WITH ME, WHICH WAS WONDERFUL!

 SNACKS ON ARRIVAL

I BROUGHT MY SCREW RING BACK AND

BORROWED PAT'S JEWELRY FILES TO TAKE

OFF THE SHARP PART LEFT OVER FROM

TAKING OFF THE 'U' CHARM.  (REMEMBER IT HERE.)

IT TURNED OUT PERFECT!  JUST LIKE THERE

NEVER WAS THE CHARM TO BEGIN WITH!

TOOK ME AWHILE TO DO THOUGH.

MEADOW MADE THIS AMAZING CABBAGE SALAD.

DAD GRILLED HERB CHICKEN.

SWEET POTATO AND GREEN BEANS

MADE THE PLATE COLORS AMAZING.

FRUIT SALAD WITH YOGURT FOR DESSERT

 YUMMY!  

DAMNIT THOUGH.  LOOKING AT THIS PIC

NOW MAKES ME WISH I MADE A SMILEY OUT

OF THE GRAPES AND ORANGE SLICE.

FUCKING A.  NEXT TIME.

℗❉℗❉℗❉℗❉℗

Hat Party

 WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

I CALL STU WHEN I NEED A DEFENSE ATTORNEY,

NOT PROTECTION FROM THE SUPERNATURAL.

I GUESS I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION ON THE 31ST.

SATURDAY NIGHT TURNED INTO AN IMPROMPTU

HAT PARTY.  I WENT OVER TO TREVOR'S TO MEET UP

WITH STU, TREVOR, DMITRY, ETC AND ENDED UP STAYING

UNTIL WAY LATE.  TREVOR HAS BEEN WORKING ON 

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR HIM, STU AND DANE.  

THEY ARE TURNING OUT FANFUCKINGTASTIC (ABOVE).

WE WERE ALL HANGING OUT, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN 

THERE WERE HATS.  THIS HAPPENS FROM TIME

TO TIME AT TREVOR'S HOUSE.  IT WAS GREAT.

THE EVENT WAS HEAVILY DOCUMENTED.  I ENDED 

UP PASSING OFF MY CAMERA TO STU AND GALEN. 

LOTS AND LOTS OF PICS BELOW.

THESE FIRST PICS WERE TAKEN BY KAT.

YOU CAN SEE US TAKING PICS IN THEM WITH

MY CAMERA WHICH I'LL PUT AFTER HER REEL.

JIM AND SHANNON

STU, SHANNON, AND MY BOOB

GALEN, JIM AND MIKE

STU WITH MY CAMERA

ERNIE AND SHANNON

 ZOMBIE ATTACK!

RIDDLER OR LEPRECHAUN?

MIKE AND JIM HAD COME FROM 

THE ZOMBIE WALK DOWNTOWN.

THEY BOTH WORK WITH ERNIE AT

GENTLE BEN'S.

GET BORED WITH ONE HAT, MOVE ONTO THE NEXT.

SWORDS COME OUT.

ALL IN GOOD FUN.

RACOON SKIN HAT, EW.

NUNCHUCKS AND BASEBALL BATS.

ALL IN GOOD FUN.

THERE'S A DEBATE AS TO WHAT MY FACIAL EXPRESSION

HERE IS SAYING.  I'LL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE.

ALL HAIL THE BLOG CAMERA!

 STU, SHANNON, ERNIE AND ME

YOU'LL SEE THIS PIC IN A MINUTE BELOW.

STACKS OF HATS.

TREVOR

CAN YOU BELIEVE HE HAS ALL OF THESE HATS ON HAND?

I DON'T CARE WHY, I'M JUST GLAD HE DOES.

NEXT UP ARE THE PICS OFF OF MY CAMERA WHICH

WERE TAKEN BY ME, STU AND GALEN:

TREVOR PICKED OUT MY HAT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO COVER MY HEADBAND,

SO I MADE IT INTO A HAT BAND INSTEAD.

DANE

A HELMET IS KINDA A HAT.

 

FUCKING GOO!  THAT RACOON IS SICK!

THIS ONE IS OUT OF ORDER.  THIS WAS THE FIRST PIC

TAKEN.  BEFORE HATS.  IT IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND.

YOU CAN SEE MY HEADBAND IN THIS ONE.

IT JUST HAPPENED TO MATCH PERFECTLY.

(ARROWHEAD NECKLACE!)

JIM AND MIKE TRIED TO MAKE ERNIE INTO A ZOMBIE.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE WAS CHANGING HIS OIL THOUGH.

TOLD YOU.  (SEE ABOVE REFERENCE TO THIS PIC.)

SO MANY HAT CHANGES!

OH WAIT.  I THINK THAT IS 

ACTUALLY MIKE'S HAT.  IDK.

BLURRY

BETTER

I GUESS THIS IS A HAT TOO.

KAT TAKING A PIC OF STU (SEE ABOVE).

ERNIE IS SO CUTE IN THE BACKGROUND.

 

A SECOND QUESTIONABLE HELMET HAT

DOUBLE GOO!

DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU.

THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THE PIANO.

KYLE WAS OUTSIDE NOT PLAYING HATS.

LOOKS LIKE GALEN FOUND HIM.

 I DIDN'T TAKE THIS ONE!

IT WAS STU OR GALEN.

MAKES SENSE THOUGH.

THEY'RE BOTH HOT FOR DANE'S ASS.

 ALLIGATOR HEAD HAT

IS GALEN DOING MY GANG SIGN?  HOLLA!

☝ ☝ ☝

(UNINTENTIONALLY OF COURSE.  

HE'S NOT NORTHSIDE. I'LL TELL HIM LATER)

LAST PICTURE!

PHEW!

WAY TO HANG IN THERE UNTIL THE END!

(CRICKET CRICKET, NO ONE READS THIS FAR.)

"OVERLY DOCUMENTED IMPROMPTU 

HAT PARTY FUN IS THE FUNNEST FUN."

BECAUSE EVERY BLOG HAS A MORAL.
