Today is faninohio 's birthday!  I remember first reading her posts on TWOP several years ago, and yet neither of us looks a day older!   I'll double check this statement just to be sure when I see her tomorrrow!  I hope that you spend your day laughing as hard as you make me laugh, and I'll try and return the favor tomorrow.  *hugs*

I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!

Link to part one because LJ is hiding it for some unknown reason. 

( More pictures and videos )

Isn't it the best thing ever when something you've dreamed of since you were 14 lives up to your expectations?  Yeah, it totally is. 

( Cut for pictures, video, and rambling! )

OK, this is going to have to be two posts because LJ is working my nerves. 

I found Potato Jesus under the chair in the living room today.  His blanket/aka thing that looks like a napkin stolen from Denny's is missing. His eyes are intact, and he has a few snags, but no runs.  Anyway, the whole Supernatural takes on God and the Devil thing has reminded me of Potato Jesus, and I think he's going to be my go to icon for SPN this season.  There's (somewhat oddly) been no mention of Jesus (maybe Kripke is all about the Old Testament?), but I'm sure that Potato Jesus is firmly on the side of the boys.  After all, he was a human too.  So if you see PJ around your SPN posts, that's why.  

I really have been crafty the past month.  Here's another project, and pictures of the lamp that inspired the nightstand (for some reason, I thought I'd posted them).  


Before!

( After! )

I've been negligent in posting pics of some projects I've been working on, but no more!

( Lots of pictures this way! )

Because she's bossy (though not particularly short).

YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends!

Tagged by the lovely janglyjewels 

Lots of pillows or just one?
Three.  Two for my head, one to cuddle.  Don't judge.

What kind of books do you read?
Ones that look interesting.  No, seriously, I love just about everything except romances, westerns, and sci-fi, though there are exceptions to all of those as well.

What are your most awesome skills?
I'm a good cook, I'm fairly crafty, and I'm a good tickler.  Just ask Jack.  :) 

What's your dream job?
Being a mom!  Sometimes I fantasize about being a Sydney Bristow kind of mom though.  Dude, an island with Vaughan as your baby daddy, adorable kids, a killer wardrobe, and badass spy skills?  That wouldn't suck. 

What's really creepy?
Dick Cheney

What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Longterm: Supernatural/Burn Notice/Mad Men (the Mad Men will be kicking in strong in a couple weeks)
Like right this second: Burn Notice

What are you listening to?
SNL re-run

What websites do you always visit when you go online?
email

What was the last thing you bought?
Candy at the movies

Pie, cake or cookies?
All of them!  Though cake is my least favorite.

Do you get cravings? If so, what do you crave?
Yes.  Like Rogue, I crave very specific things.  I have a big thing for sweet and spicy pickles, and pick up new jars of those quite often.  Candy, usually Snickers.  Seven Layer Dip.  Too often it's stuff that's really involved to make, so it's nice when it's just pickles or candy.

What do you do to change your mood?
Drugs.  I KID!  Though Xanax has helped me through several flights, and would totally be my drug of choice.   The real answer is take a drive to clear my head, take a walk, hang out with Jack (as long as he's not the one driving me crazy), retail therapy.  It all works.

What is your zodiac sign?
Pieces, though I'm right on the cusp with Aries. 

Do you want to learn another language?
I would love to.  I would like to brush up on my French as well. 

Five things you can't live without.
OK, I'm going to add to Rogue's supposition that this doesn't mean things like air and water, and assume that people (like friends and family) are a given.  Therefore:  computer with internet, shoes, glasses (especially sun), phone, hair products. 

What is one song you could listen to repeatedly without ever getting tired of it?
Blue In Green by Miles Davis.

What are you looking forward to?
The State Fair. 

Snagged from faninohio  : Say "words!" in the comments and I'll respond with 5 words that I associate with you. Write something about them in your LJ.

My words from her: foodie, mommy, energetic, loving, fashionista

( My responses. . . )

Due to shopping for vacation and child rearing duties, there's a one hour squee delay. 

It's said with love, but I know you're all jelass because I'm meeting two of the coolest people around this weekend - faninohio  and roguegambit26 !   WOOT!!!11!!  They're meeting up in Indy and kidnapping me in the process.  I'm so excited to meet them both, though it seems weird to say meet since we met online years ago.  Anyway, I just know it's going to be a blast. 

*squee!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Look at this perfect icon for cooking posts!  pretty_boxes  has no idea who I am, so I don't think she made it just for me, but it's perfect!  *clappy hands*

That said, I haven't done any super creative stuff.  Well, I take that back, I'm playing with a Southwestern potato salad, but I don't think it's fully there.  It's close, but no cigar.  phetch , you'll be pleased to know it has bacon in it.  Speaking of phetch, I made her cannellini bean salad for a quicky lunch.  I served it over an arugula mix tossed with some vinegar and oil and it was delish.  

( Spoilers for 3.4 )

Off topic, RIP Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.  The world lost a little music and glamour today.
