i wish i could blame it on marriage and our lack of "a life", but i really can't. we're always doing something. hence, the lack of updates. Since we left Indianapolis, our weekends have been pretty full.
Memorial day weekend was full of visitors from Witchita, Kansas. Andrea and Carl came to visit after their fun-filled weekend at the Polka Fest in Ennis, TX. we took them to the shack and they'll never be the same again. of course i have pictures that i haven't uploaded yet, but here are a few from Andrea's camera.
last weekend was kind of filled with "catching up" on things. we stayed around the house, i worked on some jewelry. i actually have a bunch of orders for one necklace i wore to work. yay! i need to make a bunch of those this weekend.
probably on Sunday since Addie is coming in this weekend. this time she's bringing David and Javier back and we're going to Johnson Space Center. i have no idea what's there now. i haven't been since i was a wee child. good news on the jewelry front. like i said before, i have orders for the one necklace... BUT, i've also been working on a line of "bike" jewelry. bracelets, etc. made from recycled bike parts and such. i took them to a bike shop down the road and he loved them! he wants me to make a display and gave me two shelves to put them on in his store. very cool! now i just need to make the display AND more bike jewelry. wheeee! excited and a little freaked out at the same time. i'm not expecting to be the Cash Money Millionaire or anything it's just kinda cool that somebody else thinks your stuff is cool. cool enough to want to sell it in their shop.
i know you're wondering how i'm going to get this all done with Addie in town and going to NASA and and there's no way i could do it ALL on Sunday. well, i'm making her help. and since she's been traveling all week she won't want to do anything else.... yeah, cuz that NEVER happens when she visits me.... !!! and since she's making me pick her up from frikkin INTERCONTINENTAL AIRPORT!!! SHE OWES ME. AND DINNER AIN'T CUTTIN' IT THIS TIME.
Addie: what are you doing tonite?me: i have to find something to wear to the shower tomorrow. i'm making S1 go to the mall with me. i hate going to the mall.Addie: yeah, i know... cuz you don't like your weight right now and feel uncomfortable trying on clothes.me: uhm.. no, actually. it's cuz i just really hate the mall, but thanks for getting my low self esteem back in check, Dr. Addie! Addie: free of charge!_____________ we were both cracking up for the next 20 minutes, just thinking about that over and over again.
discussing the upcoming Aretha Franklin show...me: well i'm pissed cuz i can't make it nowAddie: i know, that sucks. who am i gonna take now?me: *thinking of her many Austin friends she could take*Addie: there's just no one else worthy she makes me feel like a nah-tur-al woman!
Princess and Addie have formed a new relationship in the last year or so. they share a room in our house, although Addie really had no say in the lime green\hot pink theme. i think she likes it, tho.anyhoo, when Addie comes to visit, she also likes to visit with the princess. so we called to have her come over for a sleepover and maybe a movie. well, after waiting ALL DAY for her mom to drop her off, there wasn't time for the movie but we still took her grocery shopping with us and subjected her to showtunes. tunes from Annie, Cats, Rent, etc. Seasons of Love, from Rent, being the one i really belted out. Princess asked what showtunes were and what Rent was about. i told her we would take her to see it when she's 16. so, uhm, remind me in seven years, would ya?being in the musical frame of mind when we got home, we went up to their room so we could listen to records. yes, records. she was actually pretty excited when i told her we put a "record player" in the room. you see, S1 got her not one, but TWO Kelly Clarkson records. two. that was pretty much the best song we had in the room so it got a lot of play. that and the fact that we were too lazy to go into the media room to get more. here is the outcome of that record and me being a video freak. since u been gone on
