Pizza

I haven't really blogged about this but thought I'd update those people who are wondering what is going on with the online dating. Well, I've been dating a cool guy who blows glass (yes, as his occupation). It's weird writing this so. . . here is a pic of him when we went out for pizza(Apizza Sholls on Hawthorn).



It was a bright flash. . . the restaurant was dimly lit.



He's pretty funny



It was HUGE!!!

Antique Shopping

Last Sunday I met up with my old friend, Katie "use to be Gillette", and we went antique shopping in Silverton. . . because really. . . what else is there to do? NOT much.



We found some cool old glasses and I forced Kate into letting me take a picture of her wearing them.



Creepy "Angela Cat" on this plate.



At first I wasn't sure what was inside this jar. . . sausages? pig limbs? nope, fake gingerbread men. Morbid.





The most common thing we ran into though, had to be the salt shakers! I even found some really cool old salt shakers that were made out of green glass but they were like 90 dollars. Crazy talk!



You can't tell but this is a lighter and it's the statue of liberty. . .yeah, enough said.

Loch Lomond

I went to see this band yesterday at The Woods in Portland, OR. To all my friends in Santa Barbara, CA you should go see them on Nov. 15 at 8pm at The Muddy Waters. You won't be disappointed. Check out their music on itunes or myspacemusic.com.

Sleeping with Jasmine

I love sleeping with Jasmine. She is like a starfish.

In the middle of the night I woke up to her saying, "where's daddy? Where's daddy?" . I gently told her that he was in his room. She laid back down, slightly confused. A bit later I wake up to her looking at me and I said, "boo!"
she replied, "where's my mommy? Where's my mommy?"
"She's in her room."
blank stare
"Jasmine, do you want to go to her?"
She nods.
" You can go to her if you want."
She jumps off my bed and goes straight into the closet.
"Hun, that's the closet"
"It's DARK in here and I can't see." she called out from the closet. Once turned around she headed out the door and down the hall.

I found out the next day that she'd thought I was Bethany the whole night. :) You know. . . I'm asian and I have bangs. . . we all look the same really. Hahhahahha.

Glass blowing

Last night I went to a glass blowing studio for 1st Thursday with Lindsay. It was pretty interesting and I'd never seen glass get blown before. It's pretty intense.





That is known as "The Glory Hole".



This guy is shaping the bunny. . . that was what he was making. . trying to at least. It ended up cracking.



I forget why he had to torch it.



Some stuff we saw. . . not the best stuff but some cool stuff.

Hugely Obese

My mom just came in to relay a story my sister in law told her about her friend who is a nurse. Well, this friend apparently has a hugely obese patient who he was sponge bathing. As you can imagine he had to lift up all the folds of fat on this man to clean between them. Apparently, between one of these folds was a half eaten rotten tuna sandwich (ironically I just ate a tuna sandwich before my mom told me this story). There was more to this story but I am sharing this story mostly because I thought it sad. I wish him well wherever he is because we all have the potential to become hugely obese.

Oh, Dahlia child!

So if you don't know my dear niece Dahlia then you probably would be surprised to see this picture. . . but if you do know her. . not so much.

I swear, out of all my nieces she is the MOST accident prone. She has almost cut off her finger, sliced open her forehead, got a tick when she was a baby. . . and I'm sure more that I haven't listed. With this new one she has a count of 11 stitches and she's what. . . barely 2. I'm 26 almost 27 and haven't had any!

On Saturday Paul and Wendee came to Silverton to trick or treat with Beth and Erik and us. Well, everyone slept over and stayed for church on Sunday. Sometime during the evening, while I wasn't there, there was a scuffle with Dahlia and the dogs. Dahlia loves the dogs and the dogs love all their girls. Apparently Dahlia somehow stepped on Sam's hind leg (they have gone bad) and supposedly he scratched her with his paw. In doing so sliced open her lip pretty badly. She was rushed to the ER and stitched up. I heard that at the hospital she was telling them that she wanted stitches on her tummy, arm, etc. She't turning into Salley from, "Nightmare Before Christmas" with stiches all over her.



Poor Dahlia child.
