southwestern sampler is a go

Word/picture vomit

It's 6am
I'm on the train on the way to work.
Last night I fell asleep with ear buds in my ears. I must've gotten tangled up in them cause I woke up and they were broken.
Wahh!
I keep spending money on bad food.
So thicker waist, slimmer wallet.
I spent like 100 bucks on airport food last month, that's really embarrassing.
I'm the worst texter ever!! I apologize if you ever text me. I'm a procrastinator and I suck at responding.
People who talk about themselves on the constant need to just stay away from me. 50/50 conversations people!
I'm sick of people using my quiet nature to just chatter endlessly about themselves. When my eyes glaze over it means I'm not interested in what you're saying.
I bought my first pair of boots yesterday, they're pretty cool.
I don't have a pic of them on my phone otherwise I'd put it on here. They're like brown combat boots, kind of.
I've been eating so unhealthy lately and it's bringing me down!! When my diet isn't in check I get so slobbish and disorganized......and negative. Hence this post.
A hurricane is coming. I don't really know what that means but hopefully nothing catastrophic occurs.
Also, creepy airport employees let me be! I've got like three creepy 40 year old dudes thinking I'm their best friend, walking me all over the airport. Just because I'm nice!
Newsies with the Anderson ladies in two weeks!! Woo hoo!
Now I'm gonna start choosing random pictures for this post. Until next time!!!!!!!!!
And no more freaking sugar for me.

Cinderella Progress

I jumped the gun on 2013, but I figure that's when I'll complete it????

I've been trying to find an AZ cross stitch that isn't hideous, one that I would actually want to hang in my house. 

I like this one.

the cinderella sampler

My next cross stitch endeavor.

The different variations online:

This is the picture it comes with. See how the fairy godmother in the upper right is like faded away? I don't like that. I also don't like the color of linen.

The threads are a lot brighter, not a huge fan of the super orange pumpkin. But hey, you can actually see the godmother. And Cinderella is now a brunette.

I just loved the pattern so much after I saw it actually hanging on a wall.
This and photo above came from here

I think this one is my absolute but still gotta do something about that godmother up top.

here .....(you should really look at this one, really pretty pictures of the sampler)

Oh my gosh, I don't know what to do.
I think I like the lighter fabric but not quite as light as the last one

You may think I'm looking way too much into this, but this is gonna take me like 50 bazillion hours to complete. I need to like it when I'm finished with it.

I have finished

All that's left is stitching my initials and getting it framed.

Yes, this took me a year and some to complete. But keep in mind, breaks were had

Now I guess I'll either start on this one or wait until the one I just ordered on ebay comes, but for that I need supplies and for supplies I need my mother.

I feel sad now that it's finished. Bittersweet for sure!

looking pretty keen sittin' on a swing

well that only took a year.

Sad customer of the saturday. I wanted to hug him, he looked so sad

I am I am a real religious man. (sorry Ash)

Peed his hi-waisted girl shorts before we even got the sprinklers turned on

Jared Followill got engaged so naturally our creepy selves burnt pictures of him. Wat?

It is what it is.

def hypersensitive to caffeine

1. The fact that my left thigh and left arm is fatter/bigger than my right, is stressful.
2. A year later, FINALLY I finish the border (just the border) of my grandiose cross stitch.
3. I will never cross stitch a bird.  I hate cross stitches with birds.
4. I have to work tomorrow :'(
5. Still need to quit my job (scared)
6. No one will hike Camelback with me.
7. My brothers went on a "no girls" camping trip, of all the gall
8. I'm going garage sale-ing with my mother tomorrow morning
9. Running incline on the treadmill is killer!
10. Annnd I do not enjoy when people make me watch their kids and don't pay me like they said they would!

Good Night

xxxxxCROSS-STITCHxxxxx

My dear Mother is a cross-stitch master and a half. 

A couple months ago she took me, almost ceremoniously, to Attic Needlework to pick out my very first sampler. I LOVE it so far.

This is what it'll look like when it's done.

Yeah, this is no weekend project guys.
 My Dad jokes I won't finish it until my future husband dies of old age.

Isn't he hilarious?

E & E Anderson and I have old granny stitching parties. 

We stitch, eat werthers, drink ginger ale, watch t.v., and make late night Wal-Mart runs.
That is what we do on our Saturday nights.

I know, I know, wild.
