thoughts, reviews and such....

so the past few days have been pretty busy.  did some shopping with Mom yesterday - don't worry, it was only for some necessities!  well, ok...except for the fabric.  we went to this hole of a fabric store on the South Siiide of OKC and found some REALLY cheap stuff. 

on the left is striped silk dupioni that will be great for linings in clutches.  then there was this amazing neutral, printed cotton with the ships and script (i'm obsessed with ships for some really weird reason). then the orange & white herringbone-ish print and retro zig-zagy trim were only $1/yd!  can't pass up a bargain that has so much potential!

after the bargain-hunting, i went on a "date" with my cousin.  she and her hubby took me to dinner (Iguana Lounge - yum), then she and i went to go see Alice in Wonderland in 3-D.  i'd never seen a movie in 3-D before...and i've really been missing out!  the show was great (who doesn't love crazy Johnny Depp), and the costumes and scenery were crazy amazing. i was totally inspired!  made me want to live in my own fairy tale....

but today i had to snap out of la-la-land.  i had to clean all my stuff out of the ol' Corolla.  since we don't know when poor Lola will be going to that big car lot in the sky, Dad and i are trading out vehicles (until i get a job and can get a new one).  he doesn't travel very far to and from work, and if Lola decides to die on him, he's less likely to be stranded on the side of the road, clueless and crying.   i am seriously blessed to have such an amazing family.  don't know why i'm so lucky!
