T-Shirt Surgery

So I got the book 99 ways, I have the red t-shirt, and I have still not don anything about it....Ugh...how many days do I have left to get this t-shirt done?

Baby Goes To A Concert - Rufus Wainwright

I LOVE Rufus Wainwright. I think he has the most amazing voice and if he wasn't gay I swear we would be married...Okay I know he has never met me and I am already married he's gay...hello..never going to happen anyway so I can fantasize out loud all I want

Anyway I had a ticket to go to Rufus tonight. I have been looking forward to this concert for about three months. I had a babysitter lined up (hubby was out of town), a great outfit picked out in case Rufus spotted me in the crowd, and a friend coming in from Cincinnati to go with me.

Low and behold a half hour before I was supposed to leave the lights went out. The electricity in my neighborhood...gone!

I would have thought it was a small little power surge and no worries, but this was the second time today it happened. The first time the lights went out today it lasted for five hours.

Now I couldn't ask the babysitter to hang with my daughter in the dark with a flashlight. I mean really, that would be so not cool. I also couldn't miss Rufus. You may be thinking selfish mommy, but it's more like I have a nine month old and haven't gotten out of the house in forever.

So I took my daughter to her first concert, about ten years earlier then I was planning on taking her to a concert, but sometimes you just can't control these things.

The best part about the whole story is that she loved it! She was rockin out like crazy, bouncing up and down, singing with Rufus as he paid tribute to Judy Garland. She was drumming, and jumping. I think it was one of the best nights of her life.

We couldn't stay for the whole show, a baby is going to melt at 10:30 no matter what you do, but as we were walking out with baby in hotsling what did we see? Another baby being worn by another mommy. There was a baby named Dove who was almost one hanging in a ring sling. I wasn't the only mommy out there taking her daughter to see Rufus....

The Sippy Cup Melodrama

My daughter hates sippy cups and I think I know why.

Those darn sippy cups have hard little nubs that you are supposed to drink out of. Now my girl is breastfed and transitioning from mommy to sippy...not going to happen.

It is just to darn bad because I know she loves to drink, she tries and tries to use the cup, but after about a minute she tosses it on the ground.

Oh well I guess we will just have to try again tomorrow!

That T-Shirt

Okay so I got the book 99 Ways to transform your t-shirt and that darn red t-shirt should be restyled by the end of the week!

Go T-shirt reconstruction. Ah but will I wear my new design?

Anyway the reason I am obsessed with t-shirt surgery is because I have so many t-shirts that just sit there. I hate to waste things and short of making twenty new pillows I am dying to do something worthwhile with them.

I will keep you updated!

T-Shirt Surgery

I got this t-shirt in the mail and I will turn it into crafty goodness that I can wear by September eigth and will post the pic of me in it.

Go crafty goodness!

Crafting Goodness

I love to craft, but I lack the time.

I have committed myself to making one craft per day. I have been making crocheted key chains, and have done three so far.

My goal for the key chains are to make eight by the end of the week. I will let you know how it goes.

I also really want to break out my sewing machine and reconstruct some t-shirts. I don't know I am just so very board of my wardrobe and I think my sewing skills, although minimum, could really rock if I start trying harder.

Day Tow Of Being A PRB

Yeah for my second post.

Nothing too punk rock happened today. Actually I am not to punk rock of a person.

I have been realizing that being a SAHM is so much harder then being in sales. I used to laugh at people, think to myself they have the life. But now I take it all back.

I know that you will never truly understand what it is like to be a stay at home mom unless, you are staying at home. My daughter is so very demanding. I love her, but she wants to nurse 24-7 and I can't get anything else done. I think the whole teething thing is to blame.

Thanks to this experience I will never look at the world of a SAHM again.
