Craft Zombie

with the fucking Twitter shit. I know I am a little late hopping on the bandwagon and all. Its because I tried to stay away. I didn’t want yet another thing to take up my time. That’s all fucked now. By the way, ever since my fucking free speech was trampled on at Denny’s, I’m going to be using extra profanity from now on. How childish of me, I know. I’m going to be 32 in a few months and it seems like the older I get, the more I just feel like……….. FUCK IT!!!!!!! You know? Just fuck it all.

My band is booked for a show Friday night at The Music Vault in Harker Heights Texas. I am freaking out a little bit because we wrote a new song and I haven’t memorized all of the lyrics yet. We are also going to be covering Zombie by The Cranberries and I am about 85% with those lyrics. So I have mucho memorizing to do for the next two nights. Also, the last time we played there, we had technical issues with the sound and it made our set kinda crappy. The good news is that we have a manager now and he will be yelling at the sound people if things go awry.

Did you know that you can’t say the word FUCK in Denny’s? On a late night trip to Denny’s last week, Jeff, Trace, and I sat down, ordered our drinks, and continued with a conversation we were having in the car. During our private conversation, my husband said “Fuck”, or “Fuckin’” or something to that effect several times. Suddenly, a woman sitting alone in a booth near us told us that she doesn’t like that word and instructed us not to use it again. Me being “free speechy” and all, decided to tell her to fuck off, wherein she promptly called the manager over and complained that we were being vulgar. He didn’t kick us out, but told us he would have to if we said that word again. We quickly told him that there was no need because we were leaving. I was sure to tell her to fuck off again on the way out and we went to another restaurant to eat and continue with our PRIVATE conversation. Yet again, I wonder what this world is coming to.

Feel free to start shit with me on this topic. I will be glad to tell you to fuck off too.

Good Evening!

I’ve been too busy to keep up with this damn blog. I got a new phone… a wannabe Blackberry, but equally awesome. I love it! Then I got a new computer. I am very thrilled with it, although transferring all of your shit over to the new computer really sucks. During the process, my external hard drive died on me. I’ve had the damn thing for 6 years now. It was bound to happen. At least it happened after I was finished! All of this computer business has put me behind on my work because, well…. who wants to work when you have new toys to play with?! I also got my daughter a swing set and my husband has been taking her to the community pool. Its probably the nicest community pool I’ve ever been too. They have a really great smaller wading pool thingy for the little ones, which is covered so they don’t get burned, and it has a waterfall too. Apparently, she is fearless at the pool. She doesn’t know how to swim yet, but she’ll jump right in, go underwater, all that sort of thing. I asked her if she went underwater and she said, “Yeah, I went under there. There’s no fish in there.” You had to be there I suppose. The way she said it was just darling. Age 3-4 is so much fun. Now if I could just get her to use a toilet!

So, three days after I vowed never to drink alcohol again…. some jerk has to go and buy me a bunch of Jägerbombs. I just can’t escape. Who the hell am I to turn down something free?

We had a nice BBQ Friday night to welcome a friend home from Iraq. I think I drank more beer than I’ve ever had in my entire life.

This post makes me sound like an alcoholic. I’m not, I swear. I am only addicted to Starbucks and Diet Coke.

I love this:

I am so excited! The pendants from my last post made it to the “Hot Projects” section on Craftster:

Hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day. Mine sucked. It was pretty uneventful and left me feeling like certain people just don’t give a shit, even though most everything I do is for my family. And of course I can’t say anything because then, if they do something for me next time, I’ll feel like they only did it because I bitched about it last time. And no, they don’t read this.

I know, boo hoo right? I can hear the violins….

Yay! I’ve been very crafty lately and I finally had some time to take pics. They are not finished yet, of course. I still need to add the bails and chains to these pendants.

These are clay pendants with images decoupaged on top. I sanded the edges to round the corners and I used resin to seal the images so they are nice and shiny and water resistant:

The white clay is the best stuff ever. Its Fimo clay with glitter already mixed in. It’s very forgiving. I’ve only ever used Sculpey and honestly, I like the Fimo better. It seems to sand nicely too compared to Sculpey and I think I will use it from now on. The red and pink clay is also Fimo with glitter.

Then I also made some straight resin pendants with candy, glitter, and alphabet beads. I know, its way over done these days, but I love them:

I still need to sand the edges of the resin pieces.

I have TONS more pendants. Like at least 100 or more. I did a lot of wood pendants with retro images, etc. too. Can’t wait to finally add chains to all of them and take photos. I hate the fact that there are only 24 hours in one day.
