There might be something wrong with me.... but I don't want it to be right.

A.maz.ing

For the past two weeks, this is the only thing I've listened to and it may continue for the next two weeks. When you have a man as good sounding AND looking as Gary Lightbody in your ear, do you really need anything else?

Nope. I'm good.

Bee Magnet

What's that? You missed the fairy festival today? Ahhhh, you're in luck 'cause I didn't!! Like I would really miss that! Plus, my best friend's family had a booth at the festival with some of their artwork and vintage jewelry to sell and I wanted to go and support the cause. There were some interesting people there and some very serious fairies, but mostly there was dust, wind, and bees. I don't know what it was about me, but the bees wouldn't leave me alone!

I was a total bee magnet.

Some little fairies and fairy houses being made

Some fairies or creatures I just don't get

And then there was this guy. A hippie who had worked on this idea since 1978 and it's finally coming to light. It's a piece of fabric with drawstrings and stuff in it and it can be made into almost any article of clothing. I didn't believe it could be done... and then I watched him do it. He turned this octagon thing into a pair of pants, three different dresses, a sleeping bag, a shirt, a poncho, a hauling bag, and a pillow. It was actually pretty impressive. He also spouted off some stuff about "the inner s'elf'" and atoms and geometry, but he kinda lost me there. All in all though, minus the bees, it was a nice day spent with a bunch of fairies.

It's great to be 28!!

Okay, so it's really not all that great to be 28, but a towering inferno of cake totally helps. This masterpiece was crafted by Clint, Chis, and Ryan and I love it!!!! The three dudes on the top complete with drawn on beard and shifty eyes were perfection. The unicorn banner and tablecloth was more than I could ask for, but the fire.... that almost brought a tear to my eye. There is nothing quite as beautiful as a half melted cake covered in wax.


Yes, they DO look that good all the time.

The inferno and the damage afterwards

I also got to go to lunch with Julie, Amanda, and Karen and got these beautiful roses from my mom. How lucky can one girl get on her birthday?!

What does it mean when you dream about a giant pigeon?

So, I had this weird dream the other night and really, for me that's not unusual. I have weird dreams all the time. Giant tarantulas on my bed asking me directions to some random girls house in the middle of the night, zombies chasing me and guys from high school giving away my hiding spot like I asked them NOT to, and other random things like that. So I had this dream the other night that I was meeting some friends for dinner and I was in this Hogwart's type school walking down the hall. I pass this door that has a sign on it that reads "Beware: Giant Pigeon" so I start to think, "wow, a giant pigeon. That's totally crazy." Then the door swings open, I'm being sucked into this room, and being grabbed by this giant bird! So I start freaking out and calling for my friends and holding onto the door jam for all I'm worth. My friends come to save me, start to grab my arms to save me, and I wake up.

Analyze that and tell me I'm not crazy! Please?
