Carbs and Comics

What a fantastic way to spend a Friday night ... a big bowl of Spaghetti... and mapping out the comicon plan for tomorrow morning... more about the spaghetti a little later... but now... it's time again ladies and gentlemen... For the EMERALD CITY COMICON!!!

It's frighting to me HOW EXCITED I am to go to the Comicon this year. My favorite artist / comic will be there tomorrow and I can't wait to get some original art, and books, and plush and whatever else he sells with Owly on it.
I mean... who wouldn't want to buy everything in sight with this little guy... melt my heart! This is the drawing I saw when I fell in love with Owly last year at the comicon only to find out that his artist was no where to be found.

Eric was checking out a few things online when he learned that my second favorite comic's artist has cancelled this year... so I will not get my books signed by Skottie Young... So dissapointed. But his blog says that his flight got cancelled so I guess I can't blame him, but keep my fingers crossed for next year. But serriously... look at this beautiful drawing of Dorothy... Breathless.Oh and about dinner? Eric made this amazing pasta dish! It was a breakfast spaghetti and before you get grossed out... think spaghetti tossed in alfredo sauce like sauce... with panchetta and onion... YUMMMMM.... I think I gained 6 pounds eating it... but it was some seriously good food... Pastacarbonara!!!
Looking forward to posting all sorts of nerdy goodness tomorrow... but for now I'm going to go get my rest so I can spend the day being excited to meet the people who make the art work that I enjoy and then as I approach the table like a shy 5 year old... I end up spitting out "I love your work" and then stand there awkwardly as Eric tries to get me to talk some more. I guess I have stage fright. But... since I'm going for the NEW ME... maybe I'll make myself some que cards.
Any ways...
Good Night.

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
