Big plans, so little time…

I had such big plans for blogging last week. I really wanted to talk about the fact that John Goodman died... but now, I can't even find anything on the web about it. I think my local news channel was insane. Now, I feel insane. I also wanted to talk about how excited I was about my uber cool knitting class with Sally Melville... But it's over now. Granted, I could tell you about everything I learned, but that's not really exciting is it? Do you really want to learn about the three row … [Read more...]

Secret Pals…

So, I've decided to do Secret Pals. I've never done one before, and I am really excited. Hell, maybe it will make me want to blog more. You never know. Now, I just have to keep on the ball. I don't think that will be hard, and it gives me a reason to want to be on the internet. However, I'm a bit miffed at myself. I wanted to do the one on the Knitty Coffeeshop, but I was a loser. I checked right before the posted the questions, and then remembered again today. Thus, I missed it. … [Read more...]

Birthday Presents…

First... I had a few surprises. Susanna sent me the cutest card with a cat drinking champange. I think that British cards are so much more fun than American cards. Then on Monday, the fifth season of Sex in the City arrived in my mail box! Can you believe it! Susanna sent me a present! That was the coolest thing. I was shocked and excited and I just love it! I can't thank her enough. Nikki made the most beautiful pink bead and star earrings for me. Two pair and a bracelet. She is … [Read more...]

Barbie Tree!

Ok, so the response to the tree was incredible. I was shocked that everyone seems to like it. So, I bought my tree at Target last year after Christmas. I think they carried it at Toys 'R Us too. It is 33.5 inches tall, it has pink, irridesecent, and snow-flakey "leaves" with a pink base. It came with 6 heart ornaments and a collectible Barbie ornament in light blue. I saw a couple on eBay yesterday, but it doesn't look like they are being sold in stores anymore. There was also a Disney … [Read more...]

Lookie my Christmas Card Exchange BUTTON!

So, just incase people didn't feel uber comfortable about the whole send an email to this address thing... I've added a handy-dandy button. Click the handy-dandy button that says "Christmas Card Exchange", you get a form. Fill out the form, and I'll reply with my address in return! Isn't that simple? I thought so. So, now don't be afraid, no one will have to know you want one, but me! If you have already sent me your address, don't worry, you are on the list. I'm so excited! I just hope … [Read more...]

The call goes out…  Christmas card exchange!

I've been working dilligently on my Christmas Card / CD all weekend. This included a trip to Rasputian and Streetlight to check out all the used Christmas CD's! Yes, I bought 12 or so... So? I'm a Christmas music whore. Sue me. Anyhoo. If you would like to exchange Christmas Cards with me, simply send an email to daisydo at gmail dot com. I will start sending my cards out December 3, if all goes well. For those who are unsure about my trustworthyness with a home address, ask zoot, … [Read more...]

Is “W” more a landing strip or a brazilian?

Last night I was talking to Stephen on the phone. I had forgotten to call him on Sunday to wish him a happy birthday, so I was taking care of business. For some reason, I have no idea why, we started talking about "W". Stephen kept calling him "Bush". I said, he is no bush, he is more like a "shrub". To which Stephen replied, "I always thought of him more like a landing strip." I then said, "He doesn't even qualify as a landing strip, he is more like a brazilian. We all know there is just … [Read more...]

My shirt got lucky!

I'm writing this, hoping Cindy will leave what really happened in the comments. What I know is this... I let Cindy borrow one of my most favorite shirts after the R.E.M. concert because she was going to Vegas and had nothing sexy to wear. I told her she could borrow the shirt I had worn to work that day. It's a wrap style shirt with lots of rushing in the front. It's got a cream background with peach and brown flowers all over. It covers a multitude of sins, and with a push-up bra, you are … [Read more...]

R.E.M. for the seventh time 10/15 Greek Theatre, Berkeley

For those of you who know me, I am a devoted R.E.M. fan. I used to be a collector, but that ended with an ex a long time ago. Besides, who can keep up with all that crap. I got my R.E.M. seats this time, like I did last time, from the fan club. This time, I was in row 8, seats 13/14 (on the outside isle). I was a bit worried about who was going with me. Two weeks before the show I still hadn't secured a guest. THANK GOD FOR COUSIN CINDY. The godess said she would love to go. The plan … [Read more...]

That picture thing, Revealed, continued…

Lushy asked: I would like to see your favorite piece of decor in your home. Susanna said: Once you promised me a picture of your VW beatle... And I want a video of daisy, if your camera can take a video I've just seen the videos on lori's site, so I got inspired! For the third one, can I please see your favourite handbag? I know, this is a very silly one! My favorite piece of decor? That is super easy! It's my Heywood Wakefield record cabinet. It actually holds all the vinyl records that … [Read more...]
