hey you local people...if yer not afeared of them intermittent showers swing on by Home Ec in Silverlake for a nifty bake sale. There are all sorts of delightful goodies...like, chocolate guiness cake, jek-made mini gingerbread loaves, vegan treats and something for the pups in yer life. the best part is that all the proceeds go to The Mutt Scouts.

today's to-do....

**one of the giveaway packages has been mailed. the other two are waiting for addresses so please don't fergit to send me yer address, you know who you are...i hope you know who you are!

bonanza winners!

being that i am feeling far too lazy to print out numbers and put them in a hat and being that i am far too impatient to wait until tomorrow to put happy numbers in a happy hat i have decided that my itunes will select the package receivers.

i put my player on shuffle and created a playlist with the first 53 songs that popped up (it's a pretty eclectic mix if i do say so myself).* i did not sit and listen to them all. that would take FOREVER, instead i joyfully hit the advance arrow to the next song and added each one to a playlist called "random giveaway".

then i hit that magic shuffle button and here are the first three songs that came up...

33. mom & dad: cub
7. iced tea: the capers
50. guitar rag: sylvester weaver

which means that....
silencer, andrea & susie are the (hopefully) happy receivers of wee delightful orange packages! if i can't hunt you down, please make sure to email me your mailing information (even if you think i have it). yay for birthdays and unbirthdays!

*i know it says there are 54 comments but i accidentally published a double commenter (commentor?). and rather than delete the comment i just skipped the repeat.

**in case you were wonderin' why i chose 8:36pm to be the comment deadline time, it was the time i was born, give or take a minute or two. my memory gets foggy in this old age. heehee!

birthday recap

okay, while there was a tiny wee bit of disappointment in regards to something i was anticipating, i still thoroughly enjoyed my day. it must have been all that facebook love, the songs on my answering machine and my birthday company. here's a recap in pictures...

there was some thrifting. good thrifting.

there was pie. good pie.

there was a birthday crown and coffee with whipped cream.

there were cards.

and homemade presents. love!

there were girl scout cookies...

and sweets and fun candles.

there even was some crafting, dishwashing, sweeping and list making.


the evening ended with thai food and Lost. not a bad day. not bad at all.

oh, and while i did find my birthday glasses just in time, i totally forgot to take my birthday picture in them so this shot goes out to roomie whose birthday is today! happy birthday roomie!
