To humble myself—as my horoscope instructs me to do this week, I offer this photo that recently surfaced on facebook.  Me in 8th grade. I’ll let you guess which one is me.  Horrible.  But hilarious. Hint: orange.

when I was a teenager, my mom and I made candles every Friday night and watched X-Files. at the thrift store today I got all the ingredients to make candles for only $4.25. and yes, the large white slab is wax! score.

despite the pouring rain,  today is going to be like a holiday for me.  thrifting, breakfast out, ANTM finale on the internet, studio time, cookie dough, etc…    and this delicious website sent by HK has started it off right.

it was a nice day here. i got a ventriloquist dummy.  i carried it around the shop like a baby, but bagged it for the walk home (it’s a small, gossipy town).  he is for my little brother’s 11th b-day.  its mouth is faulty so i decapitated it to try and fix it. but, i’m stuck…  come nightfall things could get a little creepy if his head is still off….

clearly, not my day today.   but at least I don’t look like this woman.   (even thought my cookies do)   via AFP

while checking my Google Analytics last night I noticed 7 visitors to my etsy site coming from Regretsy.  this news made me almost puke.  i can’t find the source, but it terrifies me to think it’s possible.  although, there were also visitors coming from Lucky Magazine which made me feel a little better.
