enJOY it by Elise Blaha Cripe

saturday.

Cheers to Saturday.

Yesterday was busy. We ran errands and traded in Nalgenes for BPA free Nalgenes. We shopped and I bought over $400 worth of clothes and shoes for $164. I love Martin+Osa. And I adore good sales. We enjoyed fine dining and entertainment (mushroom chicken + South Park). And of course the cats were around. Playing with ribbon and stealing my paper.

Today we went shopping for Tuesday's dinner party and then went to Crafty Bastards in Silver Spring. I love craft fairs. Especially good ones with letterpress and hilarious cards. I decided I am going to try to get a booth at their fall fair. My mind is starting to spin with plans.

Currently, I am trying to figure out the best way to clean up the piles that have grown around the house the past couple days. And then I am going to go on an internet hunt for a button maker and chipboard supplier. And then I have a plan involving some flat bottle caps. And after THAT, I am going to grab my favorite man and brave the humidity to meet up with some California friends who have ventured to the East Coast for the weekend.

Life is good. Cheers to that.

a tale of two kitties.

So we are cat sitting.

Two little teenage felines.

Paul has always owned cats but this is a first for me. I feel a bit like the paparazzi chasing them around the house. It is so exciting to have something mobile to photograph although I think my plates and foodstuffs are slightly jealous.

When I am not trying to take pictures of them I am shouting out their behavior to Paul. Turns out Paul really does not care that they are jumping in the bathtub. Apparently, that is what cats do.

Regardless, these dudes are here for a week and a half. I expect to have them fully trained in Gluestick 101 by then.

that time of year again.

I am watching the US women's gymnastic Olympic trials. And I am already starting to cry and stand up and clap out loud. I cannot watch gymnastics with out remembering 1996 when the Magnificent Seven reigned supreme. I wanted to be Kerri Strug. Or at least put her in my pocket.

Oh, hooray for Olympic season.

winner!

You all have exciting weekends ahead. I have work today and then oh yes, work tomorrow. I am making up for vacation and trying to remember that the vacation was worth it.

Cheers to Saturday - make it good.

summer cleaning.

I am embarking on a mission to clean out my craft area and it looks like I have a big box of NEW paper and letter stickers and rubons and ribbons and stamps and everything to give away. Leave a comment with your plans for the weekend and I will randomly pick a name tomorrow morning. Happy Friday!
