true story, true story

so i changed the water in all 4 of the fish bowls yesterday. i did them one at the time so i wouldn’t get them mixed up.

the reason for this is that they all have names  but they all look exactly the same. there’s ringo, paul, george, and john (in that order). the reason for the naming in that order is b/c when we first got them paul would do the weird halfway float-halfway swim at the top. naturally i thought he would die soon. and of course we would replace him with a fish that looked just like him and it would be a fish scandal! paul is dead!

but no. this didn’t happen.

yesterday, sometime between around 4pm and when marshall got here around 10, john lennon went missing. marshall was convinced that i cleaned the bowl but just didn’t put him back in it. impossible. i washed the glasses i used. i think i would have noticed if i’d poured him down the drain. i’m not even sure he’d fit down the drain.

so he’s escaped. tom had a fish that jumped out of its tank and got stuck to the wall behind it. i can only imagine that poor john lept out of his tiny fish bowl and is now somewhere behind the tv (even though we can’t even find him there).

how the heck does a fish escape? seriously.

so unless john has evolved and can now breathe and live outside of water, dear john is dead. (please take a moment of silence to remeber him)

(guess it’s fitting that john died first. guess george is next.)

first things first:

Ok I have to go ahead and get this out of the way. Maybe it doesn’t matter. It probably doesn’t.

So I was taking this picture of this sweet clock radio and thermos that I bought yesterday (to sell on etsy soon). When I turned on the radio Thriller was on. Not the version on my ipod. The version with the crazy talk and laugh. Whatever. So, cool I guess. Up next you ask. Several more ridiculous 80’s songs (also, for anyone that actually clicked that link. all you need is the first 30 seconds. doesn’t that sound familiar? like a different 80’s song? that i really know but really can’t think of right at this moment.) So they go to commercial and it’s not the car dealership commercial. It’s the “we’re gonna tell you about what music we play instead of just playing another song” commercial. They make this big spill about how they play all the “good stuff” before myspace, facebook, and twitter even exsisted (b/c that definitely means 80’s music only). And the very next song is freakin Beyonce. Confused? yes.

Ok. I’m done with that.

Here’s the pic of the clock and thermos I bought. They’re sweet.

I also have a few pictures from when I was in Rhine. They’re actually mostly dogs though. I was pretty much just hanging out with them the whole time…and painting of course…which I have no pictures of…

a cactus.

father’s day.

These are the pups I was taking care of:

daisy.

scarlett and lucky. they’re ready to go inside for treats.

sadie.

this is how windy it was.

Lastly, this is a horrible picture. Trust me. It was horrible in real life too.

she had on the most amazingly awful awesome crazy mullet wig i’ve ever seen. where do you even buy something like that? it was halfway down her back. notice the nice lady sideburn curls. hot.

k. I have things to do now.

no sweet stuff this week…

Sorry.

I’m visiting home…well not exactly home…Rhine. Dog-sitting and painting. I think it’s gonna be a way bigger project than I anticipated. Way bigger. I’m a bit overwhelmed.

So far, I’ve done the following:

• stayed up way too late…blasted Direct TV.
• hung out with some weiner dogs and a zombie.
  
• had to wake up a few hours later b/c the dogs are early morning pee-ers. Fun.
• found a 1st grade pic of myself. Nice Minnie Mouse bow.
  
• not eaten enough. Just pretzels. I’m hungry!!!

Maybe I’ll update later.

Gotta restart the computer from Windows Updates. I hope there’s not a password for this computer. I guess we’ll see.

things i’m thankful for:

I’m so thankful that now that the whole HDTV thing is going on and I don’t have cable, that I still have my two Atlanta versions of Telemundo and Daystar.

Thanks Atlanta.

Not even GPTV.

Thanks.

really???

WTF Myspace? Seriously?

This is too much…

see what happens larry…

oh yeah, happy memorial day!

Sweet Stuff!

So I’m doing this blog again…maybe it’ll be a Sunday thing…even though Sunday’s almost over.

1. I renewed my Flickr pro account! Yay! It went out around my birthday and I’ve been missing all my extra pics and it wouldn’t let me upload new ones. It was pretty devestating. But now I have it again. You can relax!

(This is from the Statesboro Goodwill….I really should have bought that picture. I don’t know what I would have done with it but c’mon!)

2. I was riding my bike some before it started raining every day.  Seriously rain, stop it!

3. I uploaded a bajillion things to my etsy today! Woohoo! I still have a few more to do tomorrow. My new-ish stuff looks pretty summer-y.

4. Atlanta makes me laugh sometimes.

See those few plants behind the sign? Yeah, that was it.

They weren’t kidding when they said spot.

5. So I was thrift store shopping the other day and outside the store found a roll of film. Used film! (I hope!)

I always want to find  random pictures for some reason. And, lookit, I found a whole roll. I hope it’s something great like this:

And not like this:

6. Someone’s birthday is coming up and I’m very excited to be making the cupcake version of this:

Sweet huh?

7. I really love PostSecret, but this scared me! haha

Sweet Stuff!

Ok, so I’m bored (doing laundry) so…here ya go.

I don’t really have much to say so I’ll just post some stuff I think is sweet…hence the title. Clever huh? Hmm

1. It’s Mother’s Day!

Yay!

2.

So now that I have these, I need something to do with them. There are lots of good/fun/funny ones…but there are also horribly scratched ones…and just plain horrible ones.

Which brings me to…

3. I know record bowls are pretty cliche and over-done…but I actually like this one.

It’s rectangular and…well I like it.

4. I also found these:

Bookends!

5. Ok enough records.  This came in my mailbox the other day. Can you read it? Amazing!

6.  This soap simultaneously intrigues me and creeps me out. I think I want some!

Anyone wanna make some creepy soap?

7.  Ok so this one is old. I just got new film like this developed. I have to scan and upload them soon!

No Tail!

Gotta put up laundry now. I can hardly contain my excitement. Watch out!

what?

hi hi!

Today’s the first day of my new blog. Exciting huh? Oh yes!

I’ve been taking pictures of new stuff to list on my etsy site today.

And now for the editing…except that I always get distracted when I sit at the computer. I’m sure you can tell.

So now I’m looking at blogs.

Niiice!!!!!!
