Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s my birthday today! Hurray!

I’m celebrating by posting a not-so-flattering picture of myself on the internet. But it’s part of a tradition, started by my sister, that I started last year.

That tradition is: Doing a cartwheel each year on your birthday:

7.30.10 - Birthday Cartwheel

Birthday Cartwheel, 2010 – Louisville’s Waterfront Park

I’m not doing much else in the way of celebrating, which is just fine with me. Trust me, the cartwheel was plenty.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Crafty Music – Suggestions?

I’ve been spending a lot more time in the crafty corner of our office. We don’t have a TV in there, and so my constant crafty companion has been this:

365.184 Shiny

My super awesome iPod Touch.

However, I haven’t bought any music for awhile, and my rotation of crafty music is getting a little stale. We’ve been on a budget so tight it squeaks lately, but I’m determined to add a few songs to the playlist via iTunes.

So I’m asking you, dear readers, for suggestions. Help me find some crafty music. My current list is extremely varied, from Lady Gaga to theGlee kids to Lily Allen to The Shins. I’m willing to try just about anything, but I have no idea what to listen to next.

What’s your favorite music right now? What are you listening to? What’s your favorite music to craft to? Or sing along with? I’d love to hear it!

State Fair Entry – Update

As you may recall, I decided to enter a couple of items in this year’s Kentucky State Fair. One of the items was a pair of socks. When I filled out the paperwork at the end of June, the second sock looked like this:

365.328 75% Complete

Today, almost four weeks since I decided to enter these socks, and less than three weeks away from the due date for entries (August 14th), the second sock looks like this:

365.328 75% Complete

Hm.

I think I see a problem.
