Sew you think you can sew?

I remember why I don't sew as much as I'd like to. It's because everytime I make something, the pattern says you should make this size, and the end product is too big. So when making this dress, it has four darts luckily. When I finished it, I wanted it more fitted so I just re did the darts. It worked. I was wanting an Ann Taylor dress that had big huge red poppy print-but this was the closest thing I could find to big huge flowers. Cute for summer.

That dancing guy


Have you seen this video? Well, at Yahoo (hubby's work) this dancing guy was there. He travels all over the world and does this little dance at some most impressive landmarks. Now, Yahoo probably isn't a landmark, but somehow he came to Yahoo to make a new video. I wanted to go and watch them make a new dancing video with all the yahoos. But instead I took the boys and we were in the video too. Ha-funny. I don't know when the video will be posted but I guess he is making a new one. I can't wait to see myself dancing silly on film. Luckily it will be non closeups.
For the Q&A portion I asked him to tell us about his dancing moves..he said he doesn't have any moves and that is all he does. He said it was much more fun to have people dancing with him from all over the world than just dancing by himself.

Have you heard of this?
Do you have dancing moves?

Happy Birthday to my love!

I have to post about Mike's birthday. The backstory is that is travels to all the Hard Rock Cafe's that he can. I think he said he's been to about 70? wow, ok that is alot of rock n roll, not to mention souvenoiur tshirts and glasses. So in honor of that I made the cake into the logo. The sign in the background says "you rock" to go along with the "rock" theme. That is a foam board with red christmas light spelling the words. But I made a mistake - I did the words on the wrong side of the board, it was supposed to be on the other side, but I didn't figure that out until too late. See, I wrote the words on this grey side, poke the holes, and then realized that the words were backwards on the nice white side of the board. Now next time I will think before I poke, ha.

Do you have creative birthday celebrations?

Happy Birthday to me!

What do you do when your birthday falls on a Sunday? You go to church , duh! Well, I didn't tell people because it's weird. And I had ward council meeting before church so I just made muffins for that. That was my birthday present to myself and everyone who attended the meeting. suprise you get breakfast! yeah! I never eat breakfast when I have an early morning meeting cuz there is no time.

After church CMC had a meeting at the stake center for the youth council. Then we got home and a little later went out to dinner at TGI Friday's. oops-well at least we made it a family activity so we will be "forgiven". ok that's it. oh, and me hubby told the waiter it was my birthday so they sang the embarrassing song and gave me some ice cream. Isn't it fun to have the whole restaurant looking at you? ok just once a year.

On the way home we stopped at the beach. I love the beach. And it is so convenient to just jump out on the drive home. Nice. The sky was a little foggy already. We played a game of tag, AMC stubbed his toe really badly so that ended that and we went home.

All in all a good day!
