saturday at the shop




we were expecting rain today and it turned out to be pretty nice out actually. ian made himself a crocodile skin vest (vinyl print) by himself. he sat out here with his needle and thread and designed and stitched it up himself. ian took a picture of romo and i so rachel would be happy. she has been requesting photos of me and other than jule, noone ever really takes any, so here ya go rach. ian gets his retainers on tuesday so he is really excited. he will be wearing them for the next couple of years. i found 200$ in my pocket this morning (in the green shirt i have on in the picture). i was so happy. i could have used that last week to buy groceries, but i used it towards rent for the shop today. it was such a great surprise. i also got chocolate covered strawberries (my favorite thing in life) from mike for valentines day and a card (first time hes done anything in the last 6 years) so i nearly fell over and died with shock. so all in all today was interesting and went well. ian and i are off to the grocery store now since i can actually buy them now. yeah for money!

yay for good things!
i'm so happy that you have what you need to pay rent and buy food, and that mike did something for you to help you feel good! i liked this blog very much.
you also look very pretty in the picture. that's SO cool that ian made a vest! i love vests!!! i have 3 (2 of mike's mom's you gave me) and i want tons more. i should take up crocheting. not to make vests per say, but i think a mini dress with sleeves would look cute crocheted.
anyway, i am glad you had a happy valentine's day and weekend.
love you.

do you know that you look like sarah palin with with your glasses and bangs? you should really be digging that. You're smarter than her, though!
soooo cool that you found 200bucks. what a great surprise.
can't wait to hear from ian after his retainer is in. you're right: he's super excited.
