Holiday Sunday

Hello all of my dears,

I know that it's been an incredably long time since I've posted anything, and there may be a good reason for that, because as I write this, there are sooo many gramatical and spelling errors that I should just leave. Leave it for another day.

But hey, when the insparation hits, you have to let it flow, right?

In the last two weeks I have had two outfits that made me think of you, thinking "wow, this would really go over well on my blog" but alas, I have not had the time to photograph them. Perhaps when I have the time, I will recreate the outfits and let you all see ;-)

Anyway, Today we set up our Christmas tree, and it's super pretty this year. It's not as tall of a tree as we normally get, but that's what you risk when you pick 'em from your own back yard.

Happy Almost-Christmas!

Yes, I've taken to saying Happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas.

I'm not sure how I decided this, but today when I was talking to friends at church, it just popped out that way

"Happy Christmas!"

and they were all like

"What? Happy Christmas? Have you gone British on us?"

I suppose I have.

This past week has been a rollercoaster for me, which I'm sure you will have noticed if you follow me on Twitter at all (@TerpLiddy)

I met the guy my sister is trying to set me up with,

Was told of another guy who my co-worker *wants* to set me up with,

and saw my old crush.

Also, it was Thanksgiving.

I think that part was a blessing though, cause I couldn't have dealt with all the emotional ups and downs if I also had to deal with staying "cool" at work.

Expect to see another Owl Wednesday post this week!

and just so you all know, Cara and I are still going with our Two Nerd Birds vlog,

so please check us out and leave comments on our channel!

OWL WEDNESDAY

I feel like my weeks go by so quickly that I can't keep track of the days.

Owl Wednesday always sneaks up on me.

And it usually waits until supper time to do it.

So rude.

mini wallet, owl style

 Owl objects have been popping up everywhere in my life.

there's a cute "new" shop in the next town over, and it's a vintage resale shop, I saw tons of vintage owl things there! They're just coming out of the wood work! But I love it.

Though, I think Cara said that she doesn't fancy that bag because it's "too owly"... really? is there such a thing? I'm not sure.

These pics are from my day out with Cara, things we found at Target. Very Cool.

Art Prize Monday!

Just kidding, I'm not going to make Mondays a weekly thing too... gosh that would just be TOO MUCH!

But here is a recap of my awesome weekend!

Over the weekend, my cousin Cara, who you've all heard me talk about (Hi CARA!)

came over and stayed at my house while the Aged Ps were out of town. :-)

We went to a "little" event called ART PRIZE which is held annually in Grand Rapids.

Before we went to art prize though, we went SHOPPING! Yaaaaaaay.

I bought skinny jeans! Yay, and Cara got a totally sweeeet purse.

We stopped by a coffee shop as soon as we entered "the big city" and Cara bought me some pretty sweet coffee...

Then we posed on the stares and took pictures of each other, while holding up the line of people... poor people just wanted to descend the stairs.

 Hot.

We thought that we would freeze, seeing at we live in Michigan, it's October, and we only had cardigans on to keep us warm. Smaaaaart.

We saw tons of cool art... some creepy art and some REALLY POORLY DRESSED PPL! I know that I probably shouldn't be putting other people down like that, but honestly... these chicks looked bad.

So I think that my FAVORITE piece was the story-high artsy Mona Lisa painting. It rocked. Are you ready to see some pics? SWEET!



That was my favorite part.

THEN:

We went to the mall and I got my ears RE-PIERCED because they were SUPER lopsided last time, and then the got infected and then they were all nasty and then one fell out because it was infected and then the other one got infected and i didn't know it so i took that earring out too and i couldn't get it back in and so i cried for a little while because it was depressing and we were on vacation so then i had to let them heal and also i had to prepare myself for getting them re-pierced because i hated it the first time and nearly fainted but I DIDN'T NEARLY FAINT THIS TIME!

But all in all, it was a good weekend!

And I will see you on Wednesday for OWL WEDNESDAY!

Ps. Cara and I have been making Two Nerd Bird videos, and this is our fourth week, so you should go check it out on YouTube!

Sept 18th of my life.

Hello Darlings,

lets discuss what's been happening lately.

It seems like a month since my vacation. And already I'm ready for another one. :-)

I have a satisfactory number of interpreting jobs this week. I am very pleased and blessed.

Just because I don't have 42 kajillian jobs this week doesn't mean that I won't be busy.

Tomorrow I have an all day job, then at night Cara is coming over for jogging/pilates (we'll just do one of those options... no need to worry about over exercising when I'm involved ;-))

Then Tuesday I have my first ever(!) freelance job, I'm excited about this one because it means that it's the real start of my own adventure. I get/have to do the billing all on my own, and it'll be AMAZING!

ALSO, Tuesday is our third Two Nerd Birds video done by the dear Cara! I can't wait to see what you do with it this week :-D

Tuesday nights I also have been babysitting for some children from church, whom I'm sure you've heard me mention (the three year old from my last post... yeah the one with the Owl jacket!)

Wednesday I will do a "school" job again, for Kindergarten, and I love that age kid, so I expect to have fun there. I just have to remember to wear flats!

Wednesday Night I have our church's Praise Team practice (because occasionally I sing.... yeah.) then after that, another night of jogging with my TNB cohort.

Wednesday... gosh, a lot of things happen on wednesday! But also on that day I have to figure out my Owl Wednesday post!

Thursday is quieter, with only MY TNB POST! Woot woot!

Friday is Favorites Friday here on my blog, and then it's the glorious weekend!

Have you had enough of my little life updates? No?
Then Follow me on Twitter to hear some more through out the week! (@TerpLiddy)

Have a great Monday!

Owl Wednesday

I almost forgot to do today's post of Owl Wednesday!

That would have been awful, I know. I was babysitting yesterday and the three year old said that she needed to grab her jacket... so we went to their car to get it, and what does she come up with? An OWL COVERED HOODIE! How cool is that! I told her just how much I loved it. hehe.

Now, because it's Owl Wednesday, I feel the need to confess something...

I lost my owl ring.

I KNOW!

I'm devastated too!

So I went looking for another one, hoping that I could find EXACTLY THE SAME ONE...

but alas! I could not!

ugh.

On with the show!

(do you think I use too many "!!!"? hmmm)

Spec-ulative Species Ring

Cara, you and I found this ring at another store, but it had an adjustable size,

and I don't like that kind of ring... it just feels cheap to me! But this one from MC isn't that way, and I love it!



Hoo, Me?



Up close on the owl detail

Feathered Friend

This ring is AS CUTE AS A BUTTON and I hope to get it and finally replace the hole in my heart that was left by my other owl ring's disappearance. :-D

*sigh* the one thing I don't appreciate is how Charlotte Russe's rings are sorted. They're not.

And even though the site says that this ring is in stock... I didn't see it at the store earlier this week.

So do I risk not finding it, and drive all the way out there?

or do I pay like $6 more and get it shipped to my house?

Decisions decisions.

Oh, and this week, Cara and I have started Two Nerd Birds.

It's an Youtube Vlog between the two of us.

It acctually looks like it's going to turn out pretty cool! So go check it out, HERE!

We vlog on Tuesdays and Thursdays weekly, so please check it out and comment on our stuff!

Later

Owl Wednesday

Reply to Cara:
That totally sucks that you missed the first ten minutes of HP DHP2. Bummer. MMMMMM Ponytail Guy = *eye candy* (#sarcasm#). EEEWWW creepy Back-Hair Guy! Um.... almost died in the pond? Overreact much? Well I'm glad you didn't die anyway. That would have been a real downer. I link all of my photos by their names, but I found it on Modcloth... I've been trying to find a cool pattern like that.. cause I'm pretty sure it's knitted... and I knit! So logically, I can make those!
And what's up with the phlemy Hot comment? Does that mean sarcasm? Cause you really should be more clear about these things. I'm easily confused.

OWL WEDNESDAY
If you've been following my Twitter account at all... then you will have seen the beautiful genius that happened when I came up with THIS idea for Owl Wednesday!

 Yeah, dude, they're owl measuring cups. HOW SWEET?!

Owl Clean Bath Mat.... yeah.

Know It Owl MUG!



Owl Cutting Board

So, I'm not really excited about the Cut Above the Nest cutting board, but it's just to show how really OWLY your place could get... if no one reigned you in.

Hoot Turned on the LAMP

Pretty darned cool.

Owlet kitchen timer

Okay, I'm sorry, but that one is just simply irresistible! It's a baby owl! and it comes in red, and yellow and this blue! LOOK AT THE BIG HEAD!!! ooooh my gosh it's so cute I could DIE! (throw-back to Despicable Me "it's so fluffy I could die")

Salt and Pepper shakers

And that's all for now, I hope that you enjoy seeing all of these Owl related items. I will, ofcourse, post more next Wednesday! I wonder if my love for owls will fade with the fad? It'll be an interesting test. Owls are pretty cool though... btw, all of these are from Modcloth.com.
