My Kindle Nook… or is it a Nook Kindle?

Published by

So… Danny got me a Nook for my B-day this year. It’s a wonderful gadget and all… but I am a Kindle girl at heart (he really didn’t understand the difference) :P So I feel like I’m compromising. Instead of giving up my birthday present… I’m working the system and using my Nook as a Kindle. Maybe it’s cheating, but I couldn’t imagine having it any other way. BTW, it took me two and a half weeks to decide what to do about it. I even called my mom for advice. That’s how concerned I was. Now to sew it a cover…

Addictions

Published by

Last week, Danny told me that he thinks I have an addiction to dresses. Just because, sometimes, late at night, when I should be going to bed, I instead go online and shop for dresses (how can anyone resist all of the adorable and reasonably-priced dresses on ModCloth) and then make up reasons why I “need” them (even though I wear a uniform every day)… that doesn’t mean I’m addicted… does it? Hmm… So anyway, now he’s trying to tell me I have a dog addiction. I don’t see what’s so wrong with wanting to save every single stinkin’ adorable puppy face out there. The BDAR volunteer group on Facebook always posts the urgent dogs in Wyoming that need foster homes. Now that we’re not fostering anymore, it kills me inside every time I look at all those faces. Today, I guess someone came in to drop off 12 dogs at one of the shelters that we work with… 12! I just want to pick one (or maybe 3) and say we’ll take him/her/them! Please …

My First Refashion

Published by

As per usual, Pinterest makes me think I can do things whether or not I actually have the skills to do them. Hence the refashion. Picked up this way-too-big shirtdress for $3 at the thrift store when I was looking for fabric for my adopt me vests. I messed up on the side seam, so I added some lace under the arms, and I turned part of the bottom section that I cut off into a tie belt. Not perfect… but not bad for my first try! I’ll definitely wear it out in public sometime.

Brothers

Published by

I was witness to an adorable moment between a pair of siblings yesterday morning at the bus stop right down from my house (sometimes, when I leave later than I should :/ I get stopped across the street while the bus picks up the kids). It was an older brother walking his younger brother to the bus. The little one got in line and then right as he was up to the door, he ran back over to his big brother to give him a hug… then got on the bus. So sweet. I’m sure those moments don’t happen all the time. If only I knew the parents to tell them how adorable their kids were.
