rocka, i used to sneak VC Andrews books when i was in jr. high - my mom wouldn't let me read them! sooooo trashy and guilty pleasure!!
since it's spring, i've been pouring over all my gardening and permaculture books - growing vegetables west of the cascades, gaia's garden, and food not lawns...
we're starting our stuff today! i'm excited. we're planting tons of tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, salad greens, kale, mini bell peppers, and tons of herbs. unfortunately we're moving in the next few months so we can't plant it in our rad keyhole bed that we sheet-mulched last fall (ARGH!) but we'll...
haven't bought myself much in way of clothes, but i'm admiring everything you all have gotten!
canada doll, i really like the neckline on that dress!
maisie and shearer, great dresses!
trixie, i would kill myself in those shoes too! they look like something only barbie or jessica rabbit...
i LOVE the wiltern!! i've seen both morrissey and ani difranco there (on different occasions). both times i was up in the pit, crammed in with everyone else who showed up several hours early to wait in line. fabulous!
also, i just recently heard PM for the first time, and thought they were great.
ooh, things like Flubber are fun to make AND play with as well!
i second the clay or salt dough idea.
what about making plaster of paris casts of nature-type objects?
and what would camp be with out lanyards??
our cat gets Innova (Evo) as well - it was between that and Raw Instinct. the day-by-day cost difference of giving her the good stuff vs. the standard petco/petsmart/target offerings is very small, and i wouldn't even think of switching to save a few bucks. we add powdered garlic (to deter the...
when i worked with school-agers, two specific things i remember the boys going NUTS over were making those beady-baby key rings made out of pony beads, and tie-dye. everyone (boys and girls) loved making anything tie-die. oh, and that craft where they put plasticky beads on a little pegboard and...
that's so cute!! i'm sure it's going to be adorable.
i swear, it's things like that that make kids worth all the effort. not that i have any. but the kid i nanny drew HIS FIRST HAPPY FACE EVER on my valentine and told his mom it was a picture of me! i got tears in my eyes, and he's not even...
the neck test used to work for me when i was thinner, but when i gained weight my neck didn't keep up with my waist (THANK GAWD!) and so it doesn't work for me anymore :( it was so handy when it did!
i agree with this.
i've too noticed that a lot of people seem to think that "intimacy" is something that only a guy desires. hence a girl "gives it up" or is taken advantage of or whatnot rather than makes a conscious decision to do something she wants to do.
i've had a variety of...

as someone who commuted by bike and bus all winter, i can assure you we don't have the most mild weather EVER... but it is nice here compared to elsewhere. i can deal with rain much better than i think i could with freezing...
my latest "duh" moment was when i realized that sometimes looking in the modern-day size-20 section will occasionally yield a vintage skirt that fits me - because that's the vintage size that fits me, and if the label says "20" it's probably going to end up there regardless of the size the...
What was the last musical concert you attended?
i think it was sleater-kinney. i haven't gone to many shows lately...
What was the first musical concert you attended?
the 2nd annual KROQ weenie roast - in 1994. i got the complete lineup from wikipedia - The Afghan Whigs, Beck, Candlebox...
haha yeah, i think before i got into vintage dancing and clothing, my dad was convinced i was going to die getting my head stepped on in a mosh pit or something. he still thinks it's weird though.
