*been extremely gluttonous
*spent way to much money
*taken care of my broken boyfriend
*set up christmas decorations
*done too much homework
*taken way too many photos of pretty families at work

I'm currently sewing an advent calendar, reading Kat Von D's new book: Tattoo Chronicles, and.............watching hannah montana.... disregard that last one please, erase that fun fact from your memory.

Today

....was quiet.

A beautifully dreary day (weather wise) to celebrate the coming of my mans 28th year of life. We slept until 1130..ok i did anyways. Went to his record store (I dont think he could last an entire day without walking through those doors) and picked up his deeelish birthday cake from our favorite downtown sweets baker, Susie, of Myrles, a delightful local hotdog joint (with wonderful options for veggies like myself, too). and finished off the night with a good KU game with friends...we didnt bring the cake, he wanted it all to himself:) ha!

Birthday Boy!

Theres a very special scorpio in my life celebrating his 28th birthday today! I am super blessed to have such a wonderful boy ♥



I wanted to share one of my favorite things about his physical appearance...his tattoos. Get your minds out of the gutters people!




My favorite!



Yeah, hes cute.
Well we're off to have a tiny celebration with friends and family...and cake! More to come.

Sewing time

The time has come...to sew and share. Enjoy.









I was patching my work pants up, making tags, and felling inspired to take some intricate photos. This is what happened. Goodnight, I've a long weekend:)

New Camera *loves*

I got a surprise today! My papa called with fantastic news of a present that i "may or may not want" he has a friend that picks up random hobbies and in the 80's his hobby was photography, lucky for me, he had tons of stuff left over!!! look look at what i got




5 lenses (!!!) I have a thing for lenses and antlers lately. I want to make a Christmas display in my house of mixture of the two....is that weird?


And would you take a look at that?!?! Beautiful leather lens cases and a 1985 minolta 7000. I have no idea how to use it:) It will be such a fun learning experience for me though, I would love to really know how my camera works and this is the perfect way to become acquainted with the technical side of camera settings. I'm. in. love. Plus the whole kit is extremely aesthetically pleasing, don't you think?

and here's what I've been up to lately...


just...biting people...
having no internet does things to me...

......

My internet hasn't been working. And my life sucks because of it. Thats all.
