I am in love

Alee,

I just wanted you to know that I am in love with my new Kindle. I am knitting it a cover. It will be pretty. I am about halfway there...

When it is finished it will have a little green stripe at the top, a green button loop, a vintage mother of pearl button, and an embroidered leaf (or something else amazing) on one of the bottom corners.

It will be my knitted design debut.

Svedlahna.

Kelly,

This is a picture of my brother and me. This is what I do when I procrastinate.

Sometimes, when we are both bored and getting along, we like to take silly pictures and make silly videos. Yesterday, I put a wig on because I dressed up like a mime for some photography artwork I was working on. The wig was left out after I'd finished, and Julian came by and put it on. Svedlahna was born. He then put on sunglasses, a snap-button hippie shirt, a tape measure, and grabbed some other props. We made silly videos of me interviewing the international Haute Couture fashion designer Svedlahna. And we took silly pictures.

When we're done, we edit the pictures and save them as the background on the laptop, that way, the next time Mom uses the computer, she has a new portrait of her two beautiful children waiting there as a surprise.

I like these times. It's really fun to be goofy with my brother and it's even better when I randomly find funny photos and videos like these that we'd made years ago that I forgot about.

I realized the other day that you're a big sister too.
I thought you'd like this.

P.S.

One for the road.

bacon shirt

Alee,

When I was procrastinating on Facebook earlier, I was advertised this:

And I thought, I know someone who needs this t-shirt. Except you really don't because you don't need to wear about bacon. You just need to eat about bacon.

If you want the shirt, click the picture to take you to the place to purchase.

The other day I compared myself to bacon. I said, "No, I didn't burn, just got a little crispy around the edges. Like good bacon." I think I may be insane.

But she understood what I meant.

Now I want bacon. When I was in Mexico I had The Most Amazing Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato Sandwich. Ever. It was so good, I had it three times. The bacon was perfectly crispy. The bread was awesome. I could have died of sheer happiness.

You are jealous. You want bacon. I can tell.

I Do Not Have a Drinking Problem...

I have a pouring problem.

Kelly,
You shared something with me that says something about you, now I'm sharing something with you that says something about me.
I was pouring alot today.

Whenever you pour anything into something from a big container such as a gallon of milk or tea, or a jug of water, the best way to go about doing it is to just quickly tip the entire container over so that there is not a stream of liquid running down it's side. I know this. But I cannot manage to make myself do it.

Whenever Alee Groce pours anything, the likes to take her time, and carefully inch her way into tipping the container over. She habitually takes forever with this tipping bit, and every time she ends up tipping it over just enough so that liquid spills onto her feet or the counter.

It's like, even though I know it will spill, I can't manage to bring myself to hurry up and just dunk out the liquid. Sometimes you just have to pour things directly, or they'll spill, and you'll make a mess. I hate that.

I think I know what that says about me.
