The weekend in review

♥ Comments (14) ♥

Lots has been going on around here....
We had an ice/slush storm, and we made the mistake of going to see the Last King of Scotland during it. Eeegads. I’m happy to report that the disco old lady hat is very warm when the cold chicago wind is blowing 100 mph at my head.
The oscars, were sort of boring and ho-hum this year. I’m disappointed Pan’s Labrynth wasn’t nominated for best sound...the sound in that film was AMAZING.
Also i am not sure why last king of scotland wasn’t nominated for best original score. sheeesh. At least the academey got it right for once, with best director and best film. Let’s not count on them to get it right again for another 2 or so years. Go academy.

Let’s see what else. I picked up new glasses on friday. I did the deal where i got two pair for 70$. For us poor folk it’s an awesome dealio.


And i got some awesome mail over the weekend. I told y’all to check out Bethany’s jewelry. Did you? Cause she has quality stuff for CHEEP. I picked up these two pretty pieces and didn’t even spend 15$ including shipping people!

Also you guys who order project pouches from our shop are lucky lucky people. Because i convinced two esty sellers to send me samples of stitchmarkers to make your zipper pulls with their cards and samples. And the newest ones are super pretty from Zero The others are from this seller.

There was also Zander’s b-day party this weekend. It is very hard photographing a moving 4 year old when he’s with 5 other moving 5 yr olds. I’ve only got a few pictures to spare…
the birthday boy showing his presents


everyone run! (including lucy)


and who else in party hats but uncle Nat and auntie jen


we tried the hold the camera out but just succeeded in having really deformed heads and faces


speaking of weird shots look at this…


and for good measure look at those fingernails (or the other pair of frames)


I’ve worn glasses since i was 9 months old. Yes you read that right nine MONTHS old. I was born without muscle in my left eyeball.  Basically my eye flipped into my nose. I also had 4-5 surgeries on my eyes before the ripe old age of 5. I HATE picking out glasses more than anything. I’ve had my current brown pair for 8 years and my orange pair for 5 years. I just change the lenses when i need to. Nathaniel was no help in picking out frames either. Other fun facts about my broken eyeballs include:
my two eyes don’t work together...so i can’t see a view master right..or thru binoculars correctly
i can’t see 3-d images or movies...even those new fangled new ones..i saw one last year and it was 40 min of smeary images
i had to play video games during my childhood to build the muscle in my eye, all hand eye coordination games.
I can’t see stairs while going down them easily. They look kinda flat. I have to go by feeling, i do terribly in the dark, or on the el platforms in rush hour.
*sigh*
