All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run

So I feel like I have been a really bad Blogger as of recently. Thisngs keep happening and I'm all like "Must remember to blog about that".. and then I forget. It's such a bummer.

But here I am once again, trying to recall events that I haven't told you about and that are waay late. ahh ok lets start with what I like to call "The Great Firefighter Fiasco" A few weeks ago, I locked myself out of my car. I felt so dumb because not only did I lock myself out of my car but I also left it running. I was about 3o minutes away from my house and I had to get to work.

So I did what most girls would do in that situation, I called my Dad. He told me to calm down and that he would go home grab my spares and head to me after he picked up my sister from school.

That ment he wouldnt be able to get to me for at least another hour. So I started walking around the area that I was stranded in and first started looking for a dry cleaner in hopes of finding a wire hanger to somehow McGuiver my way into my car. Of course because of my amazing luck not a dry cleaner in sight.

There was however a 99 cent store, So I walked in and asked the clerk in they had wire hangers, he looked at me like I had 3 heads and then asked me what I needed it for. In my head I was like

A. Why is that any of ur business?

B. To knit a sweater stupid.

and

C. What do you use hangers for?

But instead I said "I locked myself out of my car..."

he said "oh, Why dont you just go the the firehouse down the street?"

I kinda didnt want to take that route but I really had no other choice.

So with that I had a new mission. I walked to the firehouse and rang the bell.

I took a few minutes for anyone to come to the door, a firefighter came to the door and I told him the situation. he said "Well the truck is out right now but it should be back soon, let me see what I can do" he dissapeared what seemed like a lifetime. and he then returned with another firefighter (Who I must say looked less then thrilled).

I walked with them back to my car.

They began to work at opening my car and then a small crowd begain to form around my car making me so uncomfortable. One man looked thrilled to see me in my disstress anther started talking to the firefighters saying "I am a professional Car thief" to which I wondered why the hell someone would say that so nonchalantly.

A few moments later the Firetruck arrived.... With the entire crew..... to assisst one girl... That was locked outside of her car... Now I dont know about you but is that really nessassary....

Luckily a few moments later the original two firefighters managed to open my car door.

I ended up really late for work... Thats the sad part of the story....

And drunkards seem to all agree...

Blinding Snow White

This is a Music video I made for Florence and The Machine's "Blinding"

I have been obsessed with this song for a few weeks and every time I listen to it I imagine Snow white, So I decided to make my own Vid, using clips from my favorite version of Snow White titled Snow White: A Tale of Terror.

Enjoy!

*Side Note* Let me know what you think!

Eisley's Valley and Better Love

I am in love with the new Album from Eisley (The Valley).

I think it's Amazing. Here are 2 songs off the album.

And I love the feel of this video, It's so spur of the moment jam session-y. I dig, Enjoy!

I heart Amanda Palmer... ^_^

She is one of my Idol's, she is so creative and funny in like this completely different and Amazing way. Thank you for inspiring me everyday, Amanda.

Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

So far April has been a whirlwind for me...

I got my Song shop song from a mister Max Bemis.

It is Amazing. It's almost like he knows me

Then I tried my hand at making Macrons (a french pastry) and they came out sooo yummy

After that I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease.

It sounds scarier then it actually is.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.

With Graves’ disease, the immune system makes antibodies that act like TSH, causing the thyroid to make more thyroid hormone than your body needs.

This is called an overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism.

An overactive thyroid causes every function of the body to speed up, such as heart rate and the rate your body turns food into energy.

Graves’ disease is one cause of overactive thyroid.

It is closely related to Hashimoto’s disease, another autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid.

Basically my body is attacking my thyroid and my thyroid is freaking out.

I think my case is extreme because I don't exhibit all of the symptoms.

So i'm not really worried about it and it's not like there is a whole lot I can do about it right now

So yeah....

April...

yeah...

So um....

Lol ok I think that's all for right now.

I wanted to post some pics of my Macrons but.. I don't feel like getting up to get my camera...

So it will have to wait for another post.

^_^

*Side note* The blanket octopus is beautiful....

DIY... Just another word for Awesome..

So for a few weeks now I have been trying to figure out the best way to keep my sunglasses organized and on display.

I finally came up with a solution.

I am super happy with the results!!

So here is a DIY and my Project Restyle. Enjoy!

My supplies:

Plastic Frame

White Lace

Teal Spray paint

White Paint

Headband

Glue

Sea Sponge

buttons

Stapler

I started with this plastic frame I found at the dollar store. (I was totally hating the gold.)

Here is a picture of the Frame, lace and spraypaint.

Here I spray painted the frame, I took about 3 coats to fuller cover the gold, If you had a silver frame it would look nice if you let a little silver shine though.

While the frame was drying I streched lace over the back of the frame.

I used staples to secure itI took this headband that I got at the dollar store, I never wear it so I didn't feel guilty for cutting it up. ^_^All cut up...

Then I took one of the strips, glued it down (and stapled for good measure) then trimmed the ends.

When the Frame was dry I took the White paint and the sea sponge and went over the entire frame, dabbing here and there.

Here is a close up.

After that dried I put it all together and got this

(I did have a bit of an issue witht the cord, when I put the glasses on it sagged. So I stapled the center and then covered it with a clear vintage button and a small teal button )

I hope you enjoyed this DIY!!

A Day to Remember

It's easy to forget that humans are such fragile beings, we can be hurt physically and mentally with the slightest of ease.

Some people act so strong that you think that you can't possibly hurt them, but inside they could be as fragile as a newborn.

Its kind of amazing.

The human body is amazing as well, we do so many horrible things to our bodies and yet it adapts and keeps going.

I am in a revelation-y type of mood today. Things are running around my head

My mom told me that today is my Grandmothers death day. I miss her like crazy. She was one of those sweet grandmas, that made you feel warm and cuddly.

Here's a story from when I was younger.

I was sleeping over my Grandma's house one night.

I couldn't sleep so I was looking over the edge of the bed, listening to my Grandma snoring next to me.

My Grandma had a cat named Gato, while I was staring down at the cream colored carpet, Gato came out from under the bed.

He was playing with something,

When I took a closer look at the thing that he was playing with, it moved. Realizing what it was I started to scream, waking up my grandmother in the process.

She woke with a start and looked at me and asked "What is it?"

I just screamed "Gato's got a mouse"

as I stood on the bed on my tipy toe's.

My Grandmother started screaming for my uncle Tommy, who came in a rush.

He poked his head in the room and said

"Whats going on"

My Grandmother said "Gato's got a mouse, get it Tommy"

At this point I was crying and hysterical.

He looked at us like we were retarded and said "that's it.. calm down."

He left the room for a few seconds and came back with a broom.

"Where is it?"

We pointed to where Gato was and Gato sensing that his toy was going to be taken away, ran away with the squirming mouse.

My uncle started calling Gato and trying to coax him out from behind the bed.

I remember my uncle using the broom trying to get Gato and the mouse, and me saying

"Get it uncle!"over and over again.

When he finally got it he disposed of the mouse,

My Grandma and I were laughing with relief.

*Side Note* I'm kinda obsessed with the color Lavender right now....
