This Fabulous Life

I'm back, beloved viewers, I'm back! And in color to boot!

After a long hiatus (most of 2007), I have returned to regale the world with my life. Hopefully there are still a few left in the audience. (Keener? Are you there?)


Just so we can feel like we didn't miss an entire year out of my life, here's a brief recap of 2007:

Went to Disneyland
Had our first annual girls' night out, followed by the first annual Scrapbooking Mayhem day
One of my best friends, Jesse, got married

Had a fairly good Thanksgiving with my family. In fact, I think it was our best yet.
Went Black Friday shopping at 5a.m. and got everything I wanted
Went to Sea World with Sonia

December:
Was very cold
Got to see Triple Expresso with my extended work family at our Christmas shindig. And the principal from Veronica Mars was in it!

January 2008 (first twenty-two days)
Became wildly obsessed with paper scrapbooking again
Came up with a great idea for a Newbery award-winning children's novel
Got a haircut



Great, now that we're all caught up, here's what's happing now.
I just got back from Michael's where they are having an amazing sale. I'm talking paper for a quarter, 40% off stickers, the cutest rack of dollar stuff you've ever seen (think way beyond Target), and the cutest stackable boxes, of which I picked up three. Oh yes, it deserves an a-mazing.

When I got home from work tonight, both my roommate's cars were gone, and I fully expected to walk into an empy dark hourse. But despite all outside appearances, there were actually four friends inside (well, three and a half- one was Britt's little brother), having a rip-roaring good time. And I, someone who grew up where having friends over was rarely allowed, was able to fully appreciate just how great it is to come home and find four people there, dinner on the table, and a wrestling match going on in the living room. Thank God for the crazy people in my life. : )

And now, I'm off to organize my crafts in my aweseome new boxes!
