I brought it to work to show people…

Me: Look at my camera! Isn’t it awesome?!
Coworker: You bought it b/c it’s red.
Me: Yep.

Proud new owner….

Writing a toast for my sis and Sean for their wedding this weekend! Crazy! Anyone have any advice? (Kiwi – no one can ever beat “Twas the Night Before the Wedding”!)

Is this thing on?

Must start blogging again. Otherwise my audience of 5 will be beside themselves! ;)

Adventures in hat crocheting

preetibird — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:45:28 +0000

So my hat didn’t curl as early as it was supposed to. Now it’s like a giant green pancake with a slight curl at the edges. Blah. Should I pull it all out and start over? Or does anyone have a need for a giant green pancake?

My journalist crush is coming to Houston!

Anyone want to come with me? I know the price is a little steep – but you get the book too and he is AMAZING!
