Brain Dump - Fall Edition

I've been in Las Vegas since last Wednesday, and I must say...I am glad i don't still live here, but it has been really really REALLY nice to be here for the week. My nephews couldn't be any cuter, and I am getting a lot done, and its always good to be around my sister Megan. The weather is chilly, which makes me happy, but i sort of wish i would of packed something other than sweats, cause my fall clothes really are WAY cuter than my summer clothes.

HELLO TURTLENECKS & TIGHTS.

Ok so anyway, this is a brain dump. I just decided that just now.

-While watching "the soup" the other night, there was a clip from a pageant show called "king of the Crown" well, we figured out when its on, Megan taped the rerun, and we just finished watching it. ITS BRILLIANT. So hilarious. Perfect television. Its one of the reasons I am happy the television was invented. WATCH IT. Its on Wednesdays on TLC.
-Speaking of TLC, who does John Gosselin think he is? Did anyone else see poor Kate Gosselin crying on the Today show this morning? Again with "the soup" (it was a good one, I'm sorry)...I'll quote Joel Mchale "when did we start siding with Kate?" Seriously. She used to be a beast, and maybe she still is, but she has 8 kids and a total idiot for a husband/ex husband so i think i would be quite the beast too. That guy is a real loser.
-I feel tremendously blessed that i have marketable skills.
-If you are looking for a good dry shampoo, its PSSSSST!
psssssst
its cheap and its at CVS. It keeps my bangs from looking wet by afternoon.
-Over conference weekend i was able to get quite a few paintings done. One being this one i did for Nie Nie
nieniepainting
I love it. And did you see the commercial for Wednesday's Oprah? Shes on it!
-I also did these paintings for Krissa. They are pretty freaking cute i must say.
-I have really good friends.
-I've learned to never leave out a can of peanut butter out at my sisters, as it took me 10 minutes to wash all the peanut butter out of Lincolns little palm and up his arm. THAT STUFF DOESN'T JUST RINSE OFF.
-Found out a couple of days ago that Christmas this year is taking place in FOLSOM. So so so happy about that. Its been over a year since i was last there.
-I miss Utah right now. its weird. I never miss Utah except in the beginning of fall. Las Vegas and California have fake seasons, and fall is just so magical and i really wish i was somewhere where there were leaves? too much to ask?
-I need a project, and i need it soon. My hands are bored and i need to create something.
-I will be posting a tutorial on how to make those Anthropologie necklaces very soon. Promise.

That is all for now.

Perfect, I am glad you need a project... because I need some help decorating my living room, so this weekend will be perfect!

Just kidding.

Kind of.

Your paintings are GREAT as always!
So glad everyone is coming home for Christmas this year. I can finally put my tree up!
N. CA has a great fall. I am loving it with the leaves changing & the cool weather and I am going to Apple Hill soon!

Folsom like, just a few miles from Sacramento, where I am Folsom?

Katherine said...

Zombieland is really just because I've heard positive things, and I want to go on a date. If he's paying he can totally take me to a mediocre movie!

I had no idea you were from Folsom! I dated a guy who lives there and spent a whole bunch of time there just a couple years ago.

If timing works out and it doesn't totally creep you out, we should totally meet up for dessert somewhere while you're in town!
