Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

yucky.

Hmm. This sucks. I totally have a cold. GRR.
I am soooo sorry I haven't been blogging anything amazing lately. I've been busy. Yes, I know thats no excuse.
Oh and the 25th was my Birthday. SO HA. Thats my excuse.
Oh. Aaand, I can't find the stupid cord to my camera.
I will though. Eventually.

I finally got a new Ipod, after losing it like a year ago.
It has been heck trying to block out everything without an Ipod.
But now I am happy. Happy, happy, happy.
Oh, and I'm thankful too! Thankful, Thankful, Thankful!
Happy, happy, happy.
Thankful, Thankful, Thankful.
Happy, happy, happy.
Thankful, Thankful, Thankful.
Thankful, Happy, Thankful, Happy.
Crappy. Crappy. Crappy.
Sniffle, Sniffle, Sniffle.
Cough, Cough, Cough.

OhMYGOSH. Yesterday, as you know I went to the Goodwill outlet(where you pay by the pound), and it was amazing! It was a tad overwhelming at first. It is in a large warehouse and nothing is separated or anything. Everything is in these large blue bins, in piles of clothes, shoes, or blankets & stuff. You have to dig, dig, dig, to find anything cool. But after I got my rhythm down, it was awesome! I doubt the people I went with had nearly as much fun as I did(they didn't get anything), but thats alright, because they made an effort and I had lotsa fun! Not everyone has fun digging through bins of dirty clothes in search of something which you don't know of. And thats okay. :)
It was sooo cheap, I got:
•An old, worn-looking, olive-y green, leather, briefcase thing
•A black canvas tote that says "The Art Institute of Chicago" and has a lion on it
•A pair of black slack pants that need some work
•A pair of silvery-purpleish-greyish stretchy leggings/spandex things
•A pair of moccasin slippers
•Another pair of slippers
•A jacket coat thing
•A coca-cola tee
•A red & black bow-tie

all for 10$
this place is amazing.
i love it.

I need to find the cord to my camera so I can download some pics... Ahh!

what would you call it? romantic?

boogie boogie

Busy-ish weekend. At the moment, I am at Hailey's house waiting for her to come home from school. We are going to celebrate my birthday tonight eat yummy food(my aunts an amazing cook!) and watch movies or something, then tomorrow we shall take the bus to the mall. ah. what a boring word. I wish I knew a cool british word or something. Anyhoo. We are going to loligag and try on outfits and be silly and take pictures of ourselves. and eat yummy mall foods. {yay}
I'll upload some pics later. so keep checking up.
Thennn, on sunday I am meeting with a group of friends, we're going to eat breakfast and go to seattle to go thrift shopping!! It's this really cool-sounding place where they weigh your clothes. You pay by the pound! And I guess its like 0.79$ a pound!! I know, awesome. I heard that everything is in all these bins, and you get to dig around and find stuff. It sounds AMAZING!! But time will tell. I am excited, I just know that digging in bins, and bins, and bins, of dirty clothes with cool people is going to be A BLAST!! Hopefully I will find some cool pieces to add to my wardrobe...
tata for now,
mimi

silky pants!

I love the silky pants in Dries Van Noten SS08. They look so Elegant and comfy! I have been wanting to make some silky lounge-around type pants like them, for a while. The other day I was browsing a cool website I found recently called BurdaStyle.com -free sewing patterns, knitting patterns, and how-to's- when I stumbled upon an easy pattern(i am a definite beginner in sewing) for some comfy looking wrap pants. Anywhoo, I think I am going to try to make some out of fabric somewhat like these and we'll see what happens. My Great Auntie is like the Queen of Pack-rats and hopefully when I go to her house for Thanksgiving I can raid her HUGE assortment of fabrics & things!! Who knows, maybe I will find some fabric like this.

Cacti Collecting

I've decided to start collecting cactus.
Is it wrong to like cacti because you don't have to water them?
But either way... I like them because they are pretty too so I won't have a problem. The watering thing is just a plus...
Something inside me just always wants to reach out and touch them.
My friends named Stacy & Bruce gave me a plant called "The squishy grape with long willowy branches" or something like that, I the name had to with a squishy grape with these long branch things...so whatever.
Anyhoo. It died. I feel horrendous. It was like a baby. I killed a baby plant! It looked like a little piece of grass with this little squishy-grape-looking thing the size of a medium sized nerd(the little candy rock nerd things).
In fact right now I am munching on some Lemonade coated wild cherry nerds! Yum.

Back to the subject: It was going to turn into a adult big squishy grape with long willowy branch-like things!! And I ruined it's chances of becoming and adult squishy grape plant thing. Or even and adolescent squishy grape with meduim-long branch things.
I am tired of killing cute little baby plants. I shall be collecting cacti now.
Oh... And my collection has already been started because Bruce & Stacy also gave me a CACTI! YAY! Yay for Stacy & Bruce!!!!! Yay for Bruce & Stacy!!!
Me and my mom call it our Love Cacti (like Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry's Love Fern!-If you haven't watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey go watch it!)
And she gave me some other plants that I think are cacti-like things because they haven't died yet. :D Yay! Yay for plants not dying!

So. If you like Cool, hideous, totally awesome, rare, interesting, or cacti-like plants. (and bonsai trees and stuff like that) Go to http://oasisrareplants.com/index.php?cPath=22
