Ryan and I just discovered something wack. He got a mug full of candy for Christmas. A big mug that says Ho! Ho! Ho!. On the bottom of the lovely mug, ripe for hot chocolate, it reads 'by the way, there is lead in the paint used on this mug and it is not suitable for drinking out of'. :0

My friend is coming over to have a little girl talk knitting party tonight. Yay! I haven't been excited about home craft goods in so long. Parts of me are starting to come back, I love it. It's a new year, it's a new day, I'm not letting ANYTHING get in my way.

That seems like fun. I would have scoffed at it in prior times, but I am really gravitating toward simple creativity and creation. I bought multiple balls of yarn two months ago. My plan is to teach myself to crochet.
and to get back to creating in general. You too must get back to your arts.
up for some painting/drawing sometime? I have a bunch of supplies..
taken it back, not letting anything get in the way.. here! here!

Woke up with such energy this morning I'm not even sure I really went to bed. Took a long hot shower and 4 shampoos and a gallon of conditioner later, my hair has returned to normal. Had an absolutely fabulous time at the party, merci PMT. I loved the ball! I still think the hippo was a nice touch :)
So my lovelies. May the best of your past be the worst of your future in this beautiful year 2007! Wishing you joy that never ends.

I'd like (e:theecarey)'s journal but i'm in a hurry. so just go look at hers for further readings on this adventure. meanwhile, here are some crayon renderdings we did while on our mental vaca.
the adventure begins in a dark red room by a cozy fire and a well packed vanilla 'enhanced' hookah
carey's fire depiction
my fire depiction
we decided to draw fruit baskets with our mouths
carey's
mine
i saw little ghosts coming out of the smoke flying at my head
i have no idea what carey saw although she kept laughing and yelling 'chainsaws!'
dinner
then came my merry-go-round ride. my legs were kicking away because i thought i was running the opposite direction of all the horses on it. the music was wack, and i think i saw paul.
self-explanitory
i began riding a horse complete with gallop motions
when i looked at carey she was wearing a huuuuuge yellow hat, like the 'man in the yellow hat' and her lips were covered in blood.
i did my party trick. write like davinci.
can't read it? print it out and hold it in a mirror.
carey and i will be attending the new year party as eddy and patsy!

i forgot about the drawings. Not too shabby for being done in the dark and under some botanical influence! no idea what I was doing with that eyeball/face drawing. How I managed to write/draw "adventures of TC and LC" impresses me; considering my illustious fruit basket! :( haha. I bit through the crayon!
Scary Carey- thats hilarious. I vaguely recall you freaking out when you looked at me- that musthave been when you saw the yellow hat.
silliness!

Nice drawings!
Nice drawings!
totally interesting because I learned about this shit in one of my environmental health classes....lead has been found in things such as baby chew toys, nike sneakers, mugs (like you said) and even candy made by MARS!
Despite all the obvious adverse health effects of lead, companies still use it because they can get it away with it....since there are no laws protecting people from lead. Lovely, huh???
At least they warned you. But that is so odd that on a mug they would use paint that had lead in it.
That is insane. I didn't even think they could use lead paint on stuff like that anymore. I mean want not use the multitude of other paint agents that do not contact lead. :::link:::
