alright alright!

so, an update of sorts. i'll be coming home in less than three days now which means i'll get to see your pretty faces on the eleventh of june (at knit night!)

i couldn't be more excited for this because it's time well spent with you guys and my family.

due to the move, i feel like it's been even longer than normal since i've last seen all of you - even though it's been since just january.

here is an AMAZING project tutorial for an umbrella swift i found whilst surfing the net...

CLICK ME FOR AWESOMENESS!!!

just finished revolutionary road, clearly another winslet gem.
i love her so much... i loved this movie. if you're into the whole period piece/people dealing with mundanity/psychological studies/social commentary on the classic housewife notion of the 1950's/60's... then i highly recommend it.

good lord

Listening to:
"Know How (feat. Feist)" - Kings of Convenience

I know it's been a long time and that is completely unwarranted. i'm really sorry, it's just a lot has happened this year!!!

in february of 2009, i moved in with two of my best friends here in oregon because another friend of ours had moved back to his parent's house in Olympia, Washington.



These are my roommates, Katie is the curly sue and Becca is the blonde... You will hear much more about them soon I'm sure.



and this is their cat Mr. Henry Higgins. It's mainly THEIR cat, because I'm not such a big cat person. although, he has grown on me since they left for their summer breaks. You see, we've staggered them so we could all take care of the animals for each other while everyone was gone. There's 2 hamsters, 2 rats, and a cat. it's a silly life here.

We call our place the compound because we have about an acre of land and are surrounded by trees and an organic garden. There will be more pictures later, i promise you that.

speaking of, I'll be coming home on June 10th! I'm pretty psyched on it.. I'm very VERY ready to be home.

i know this post was lacking, but expect more my lovelies!

jury duty is satan's asshole; and its people, the dingleberries

this world they call jury duty is something so criminally perverted, it should be on trial itself.
having never done jury duty, i thought the rumors were lies. i was incredibly mistaken, naive even.

so, i'm stuck here! which means i'm going to post some stuff about life, and stuff. mostly work i've done in the past that i haven't shown you guys yet.
also, i've been real obsessed with quilting. like... REALLY obsessed.

yay i luh yuh!

there was an overwhelming amount of snow this year, which was AMAZING.
this is my apartment complex!

tromping tromping tromping!



this is the crazy snow drift on my doorstep!

miss laura lew
