A few things I've been working on; along with my sanity

Sometimes I feel lazy because all I want to do when I get off work is sit and watch TV. The more I think about it it's because I hate my job. I use to love it but now I hate it. In fact I just hate having a "job". When I get off work I just want to be around the things that make me happy; Tyrone, Frederick and my family. In my mixed up mind I translate not wanting to do things after work into being lazy. I'm not lazy; I honestly really like being busy and doing things with my hands, just not work related things. I love creating things. These are some things that I've been keeping my hands busy on so that I don't lose my mind. These are things that make me feel good in addition to the wonderful people in my life. I've finally decided to share them against my "better" judgement.

I'm pretty excited about this chair. My mom gave it to me after getting it from my aunts. It's a pretty old metal stool and was brown and very dirty. I knew as soon as I saw it what I wanted to do with it. 

Labor Day - Thank God for holidays!

We hiked donut falls yesterday it was beautiful...I mean freaking gorgeous! And it didn't take long at all; exactly how we like our physical activities to go. 

*Going back to work today was the worst. I just have to say that. 

Cosmic Dancer

I was dancing when I was twelve

I was dancing when I was twelve

I was dancing when I was ahh

I was dancing when I was ahh

I danced myself right out the womb

I danced myself right out the womb

Is it strange to dance so soon?

I danced myself right out the womb

I was dancing when I was eight

I was dancing when I was eight

Is it strange to dance so late?

Is it strange to dance so late?

I danced myself into the tomb

I danced myself into the tomb

Is it strange to dance so soon?

I danced myself into the tomb

Is it wrong to understand

The fear that dwells inside a man?

What's it like to be a loon?

I liken it to a balloon

I danced myself out of the womb

I danced myself out of the womb

Is it strange to dance so soon?

I danced myself into the tomb

(But then again once more)

I danced myself out of the womb

I danced myself out of the womb

Is it strange to dance so soon?

*I just can't get enough of T-Rex. This is my FAV song right now. It should be my theme song. Gotta love the Glam Rock!

Kicks & Grub

I just have to tell ya'll about what I got today in the mail because I am so excited. I have been waiting and waiting for these to come. It's been about 5 weeks since I designed these suckers and when I got home today and saw the UPS notice on my door I ran to the office to pick up my package. The office closes @ 6pm and it was 5:55pm so I was bookin it. But I was not about to wait any longer after the day I had at work; I wanted something that would put a smile on my face. So, the coolest thing in the world right now (besides being engaged) is the fact that you can go online to Converse and design your own shoes. I've been looking all over for the perfect tenni shoes and having to give up on finding the perfect Onitsuka's I decided to design my own. 

Check'em out! They even have my name on them; they'll never get stolen, even though they are totally the coolest.

Master Flash's Garlic Guru Burger

Last night I cooked the best burgers. I made up this semi-original recipe for garlic burgers and I can't get enough of them. You mix ground beef, salt, pepper, fresh garlic (lots), ginger, parsley, onions, and hot sauce in a bowl. Make regular sized patties (we prefer the large ones) and place on the George Foreman grill. Turn oven on to broil and once burgers are all cooked from the grill place a whole slice of onion on each patty with a slice of swiss cheese on top. Broil burger until cheese is nicely melted. Eat with or with out a bun. I am a ketchup nut so I don't eat them with a bun just ketchup. They rock!

See how pretty they are:
