Screech! Smack! Bang!

Today after work, I came home and picked up Bobby to go to the grocery store. We stopped at Sonic on our way to get some dinner. After we ate, we started to pull out across traffic to take a left and BANG! CRASH! SCREECH!
There was a guy coming down the turn lane. He didn't see me. I didn't see him.
Here are the results...

My car








His car






The police and fire departments decided to make an appearance.




Oh yeah, and right when we hit, bobby's entire soda and my entire soda spilled all over me. Mine went between me and my seat. The entire soda. So, bobby is sitting there freaking out cause he thinks somethings wrong with my leg cause I'm freaking out trying to get my ass out of the wet seat. It was a spectacle.
You can almost see how wet my skirt was in this picture. I had sticky brown streaks of soda down both of my legs.



We were lucky, no one was hurt and my car was still drivable. The other guy had to get his towed.

New Music Holder

I just bought the new I-Pod Nano!

The only I-Pod I have ever owned was a hand-me-down from an old roommate. So, really this is my first NEW I-Pod. I'm so excited about it, I wanted to share it with you.

I decided to name it Green Goblin.








Here's how it works!


Yea, I Love You, Green Goblin!

Ready-Made

I love Ready-Made. If you aren't familiar, it's a magazine focusing on DIY home improvements/decorating. I bought an old issue and found a picture of a table I liked.

I decided to redo a table of my own with a similar feel to that table. This is what I made.


Then I sent an email into the "letter to the editor" email address at Ready-Made. It was just a letter with a picture of my table saying thanks for the ideas and here's one of probably a millions results. Well, about a week later I got an email back from the associate editor at Ready-Made asking if she could print my picture in the next issue.

So, if you read Ready-Made, make sure to check the re-ply section in the next issue. My table just might be in it.

YEA READY-MADE!

Careful What You Ask For...

Cause you just might get it.

I decided to have a day to myself. I went to the liquor store, bought some tequila. Stopped by target to buy myself some stuff. One of which was (what bobby calls) a "sassy" hat.



That I will probably rarely wear.

Then I stopped by the Alligator Grill and had a few margaritas.

Then out of shear curiosity, I asked Bobby what he wanted me to make him tonight. Being silly, he said he wanted a stuffed pickle. Then changed his mind and said he'd rather I finally made a pillow from his old Billy Idol shirt.

I did make the pillow.



But then I had to make the stuffed pickle. How could you turn down a request like that?



All the while drinking more (homemade) margaritas. First regular...



Then lavender...



And now Bobby has a new friend.
