Wooo, that turkey tasted good! heheh
Had a nice low key thanksgiving, just me, Greg and Ashe. Cooked turkey, stuffing, giblets and gravy, mashed potatoes, chicken livers, macaroni and cheese, rolls, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, corn, and had some cranberry sauce and carrot cake. Stuffed... Greg did most of the cooking^^ and he did an excellent job!

Office Color Finally!
Yay! So finally done with the Bulletin Board Project... Took me longer than planned because of me being dumb... hah! It took me a little while to find the pattern that i wanted for the bulletin board... there were a couple other patterns that i would have liked to use too but they didn't fit the theme of the company as much so i picked something that i would still like and hopefully my boss will. There was this really cool asian themed pattern that would have worked if the colors were brighter... it had flowers, dragons, shrines and wind/water and a blueish background color, but the orange and red weren't vibrant enough.
I painted the frame and distressed it and found the shelf at a local thrift. Got lace and ribbon from Joann's. For the small bulletin boards i used fabrics that i had already stashed away and spray mounted and stapled to cork board squares. I am going to make the pushpins probably tonight or tomorrow night... i have all the materials just need to take a moment.
So they are up in my office at work! Yay, its a good start! Got a long way to go with decorating. I just needed some color for now...
153-155
Super motivated right now to really get my office together! Will post pictures someday of the finished product, when finished.

Crafty sorta weekend perhaps!
Did a bunch of Portfolio pages for the website today. Yay! And I am super excited for the weekend! I have a bulletin board project that I am doing... its funny how you can think you have a semi original idea and then you google it and find that its a popular thing to do and had to be living under a rock to not notice, hahah! Oh, what can i say... its all been done before... but i will make it my own!
I also got my Dick Blick order today! Yay i get to try some block printing and such!

Team Jacob!!!
So i went to the midnight showing of New Moon last night! Super tired now... didn't get to bed til about 3am and then on top of that had to wake up around 6am to drive Greg to work by 7:30am because my car is in the shop... so i slept on my desk until 8:30am =)
I am not sure if i particularly cared for the directing of NM... it was ok, but certain parts just seemed odd, which yeah... some of the actors are a bit awkward and that's ok but it still was just a little unsettling. It just seemed that there were too many scenes made specifically for the fangirl making them seem forced or slow to create impact and provoke swooning but it just came off as unnecessary... Jacob definitely looked good though! Yhowza!
I guess most of all i am disappointed in how much of the greatness from the book wasn't portrayed in the movie. Like certain feelings did not come across from the characters for me. I know, i know, of course the books are always better than the movies made after but i feel like they could have done a little better... I mean the biggest problem is that i feel like anyone who has not read the books would just be like, "ok, this is lame", but really it isn't lame, it is so amazing!
Overall i really liked it, but that is probably because of the layers the book gave to it. The effects were great and there were alot of great scenes!! Oh and the wolves!!! heheh

149 - 150 Working on the website! I think this time i will actually launch it when its done, instead of making websites and then just never touching them again. Oh, and the little robots in the corner have speech bubbles that will only be seen upon mouse hoverage.
