a great great gatsby party

This past weekend my friend Rebecca celebrated her birthday in classiest way possible--a 20's themed party!  Of course I was thrilled to have an excuse to dress up and make a Happy Birthday banner.  I start to feel a little lost in the world if I'm not involved in a themed party once in a while...  And I ALWAYS need a reason to craft.  Anyway, it was absolutely lovely and Rebecca is such a sweet friend to have!

Speaking of birthdays, Erin also turned 20 on Sunday!  I would have given anything to be able to celebrate with her, but in no time I will be back in Arizona for the holidays and will be able to give her an ample amount of hugs.

THE HOLIDAYS.  I just wanna craft and ignore my homework, you guys.  Can you believe that it's already October 2nd and I haven't decorated our room for Fall yet?  It's unheard of.  In order to maintain what sanity I have, I am mandating a craft session tonight after I finish a good amount of my workload.  (I told myself this yesterday, but it didn't happen because I was being responsible or whatever--lame.)

Happy October, my friends!  

busy body

I've been keeping busy this month with school and fun.  It's incredible how much can happen in a few short weeks--I feel like I've been back at school much longer. ..
A few weekends ago I went to the Oregon Zoo with some friends to observe some animals for an acting assignment (as a design concentration, I still have to take one performance class for my major).  It turns out I am the same size as a Sun Bear.  How fitting!  PS I imitated an otter.On a Monday night, Ted and I went to the restaurant opening for Imperial and literally ordered at least 3/4 of the menu.  Ted's got connections--we ate with the chef's mom!  THE NEXT NIGHT, I saw Memphis for free at the Keller with Ted and his musical theatre class.
Last weekend I saw Avenue Q with Ted and friends.  Hilarious.  Also observed an old lady for another acting assignment.  Yup.  Also, the day before I FINALLY WENT TO THE BUTTON EMPORIUM & RIBBONRY DOWNTOWN.  ENOUGH SAID.
This Saturday I went downtown and to NW 23rd with Claire for shopping, Tea Chai Te,  and Little Big Burger.  It was a sunny and perfect day, especially when it ended with...
OATMEAL CRAISIN COOKIES (devoured during a viewing of an embarrassing movie that may have included vampires)!!!!!

Then, the next morning I walked in the AIDS walk with Ted and after we got sushi (it was my first time eating at a conveyer belt sushi place).  Yes, I have been having an eventful September!  And it hasn't even ended yet.

Now, back to homework....
