Oh, what a girl can do with some doilies and craft glue. An amazing display of craftsmanship if I do say so myself. Try not to be jealous of my wicked awesome teacher crafting skills. Happy Valentine’s Day…a few days late.
There were rumblings last night when I got home from work about the idea of heading to Ikea today. Rumblings that–much to my chagrin–turned into reality. Liz had commented that there were some areas that needed some finishing touches so that we could be settled into the apartment. But like, all the way settled in. […]
As I’ve stated before, American Idol is my guilty pleasure. It started out with actually my brother Ryan and I making fun of Brent for watching, and then both of us voting against Clay Aiken in Season 2 to upset Brent. But by the time season 4 rolled around, I was definitely hooked.
