Soul Thumping

Graveyard of the Atlantic? Ha! I call it Paradise.

Yesterday we arrived in Avon, NC for our week of glorious baking in the sun (yup, I'm a sun bunny alright and not ashamed...I love it, and I use sunscreen...those anti-sun folks might want to read up on the latest medical news...a growing number of folks being diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency), listening to the waves, feeling the warm breezes of the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

This morning I'm blogging (obviously) and getting ready to go for a run before the weather turns sweltering.  I love that word and we use it quite a bit here in Carolina.  So, I don't really have much to snark about yet.  It's too gorgeous here to care!  The house we rented this year is absurdly awesome so I'll be spending the week in a state of crazy euphoric bliss here in the "Graveyard of the Atlantic."  Come and get me pirates, I triple-dog dare ya!

Soulthumping Postcards...From Poseidon

It just hit me today that It has been a year now (actually, a little over a year) since I started my blog.  Don't worry, I'm not going to bore anyone by "reflecting" on the year, because I did that in January, and throughout the year, ad nauseum.

I got a postcard from Poseidon today.  I haven't had one in quite a while (no, he isn't away, and yes he does live with me, he just likes to write and send me post cards sometimes while he is at work...so sweet) and as usual, when I see one in the mailbox, an impromptu, uncontrollable little smile dances across my lips : )

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.  Do something that makes you smile!

Pajamas for Everyone and Welcome to Karl!

Wow!  First, I can't believe I haven't blogged in some time now, and I miss it, but planning the wedding is taking more time than I thought it would (sigh).  However, I'm in a pretty good mood because tomorrow is Friday, AND because one of my favorite people ever, Karl K. has popped up on Facebook.  Welcome buddy!

Getting back to one of my last blog posts...so I did finished sewing my first dress, the orange dress I spoke of in my Zipper Madness post, and it came out ok, but I f'd up the sleeves, which is ok.  I was rather calm about it (thank you weekly neuro-feedback sessions!!!) and I considered it a learning experience, which is soooo unlike me.

Anyway, my next project is making pajama pants...for Poseidon (click here to see the fabric I'm using...yes I am).  The awesome part about this sewing project is that he is my fiance and he can't not wear them (double negative?), no matter how shitty they come out.  I mean if one leg is shorter than the other, he has to wear them and act as though they are the finest pajama pants he has ever had.  Truly, he does have to do that.

OK my pretties, I know, this has been a short stupid, not-so-funny blog, but I will update you on this project soon and I will add as much sarcasm and self-degradation as usual.  I've also vowed to get back to blogging at least twice each week, but I'm also a flake, which means doing what I make myself promise I'll do at times goes undone : (

It's nice to be back!
