Musings for the weekend

My dolly blog is up! However, the links on the side don’t work (yet). They link back here, haha. But I’ll get them done this weekend – I got a little sidetrack by this cute feel-good movie that was on tv (called Chestnut: Hero of Central Park) which, while predictable, was a very nice movie overall.  Anyways, the new blog is called Little Miss Sophie (yeah, I was really original there, wasn’t I?). The colours need a bit of work, might change the header soon, but not sure yet. But the basics of it is up, a post is up. I just need to finish off my pages and take more photos of my darling Sophie.

Work pretty much sucked today. It was long, boring, tedious and tiring. I’m just so glad that it’s the weekend. Work’s been difficult the last week, mainly due to the roof construction and the fact that the smell makes me feel sick (and it’s kind of difficult to escape it as it goes ends up saturating the entire building by about noon).

I’m not going to be home for most of this weekend, it seems so far. Plans, plans, plans! Plus there’s shopping to get in somewhere. I need to make/buy/do something for my friend’s birthday gift next week. Another weekend where I’m honestly never going to be home, hah. When on earth did I start having a life? I think I made the same comment last time I had plans for my entire weekend. It’s just such a foreign concept to me. I’m just so used to having no plans, beyond a few hours of volunteering on Sundays. Occasionally there’s a sale at the crafts store, which is always planned in advance, but beyond that… Not a whole hell of a lot goes on in my life during the weekends. Well… Apparently things will be happening this weekend and next, but usually nothing happens.

Also… I’m looking for more stuff to fill in my weekends as I’m going over available dates/times for first aid courses (because, you know, the courses that fit great into my schedule as it currently stands? Not the one required for nursing school. The one that I need? Doesn’t fit in quite that well unless I want to travel for it. Which I will end up doing, as I want to do it before school starts).

Photo Saturday!

I got new earrings today (whoot!) and the backings are considerably easy to take off (I tested all of them in the store prior to buying them, and it seemed like a pretty decent deal, considering the silver part of it and all). I went over to K’s house and, bless her, she helped me out with getting the earrings out. Quite fast too. I was surprised at how fast she got them off, she made it look so easy! I was jealous. But I got them out (thankfully) and she helped me out with putting the new ones in (the daisy ones with the pink center).

And… Here’s some Sophie-spam for you all, since my dolly blog isn’t up and functional yet (but very soon!). (Yes, these photos are up on my Flickr photostream as well, but I only put up the ones I liked so…

So much to do, so little time

It has been a rather haphazard today. My family and I went out for breakfast/lunch. We went to the restaurant too early and they were only serving the lunch menu. So my sister D and my mom both got omelettes, I ended up with sausages and scrambled eggs and my dad somehow talked the waiter into letting him order something off the lunch menu. And at the end of the breakfast, I somehow managed to flip my fork up into the air and it fell onto the floor. When I picked it up, this is what it looked like:

Whoopsies…? I have no clue how I managed to do that…

Besides that, I spent some time in the mall today, took some photos (some are uploaded at my Flickr account) of my Blythe, Sophie, and her new clothes. I’m still waiting to receive the Enchanted Petal stock dress I bought, but it should be arriving either late next week or early the week after that. Also went ahead and uploaded some photos of my sweater project onto Chelle-Chelle.com and I’m still working on the dolly blog layout. Speaking of which, I’d like your opinion on some of the names that I’m debating between:

Choice A: Life with Sophie (Con: “Life with Blythe” is being used by another Blythe owner)
Choice B: A Blythe a day keeps your sanity away! (Long…)
Choice C: I have no freaking clue (Not actually suggesting this as an option – Please give me your suggestions!)

Anyways, I am off to get ready and to clean up  my room a bit – need to get some things done before heading out tonight to see Les Miserables with C! Hope you all have a good Saturday.
