Decoupage

I have crossed even more things off of my To Do list in the past two days! Yesterday, Allie and I decoupaged these plastic boxes I had to make them more visually interesting using this chevron paper I got from Michael's. We also got a shoebox to make into a charging station to hide all my various charging items.

We had a De La Vega family dinner and my mom made this really awesome crock pot pulled pork. It was fun/delicious, and to top off a super excellent evening: Breaking Amish premiered on TLC! This show is just so fascinating to me for some reason. The Amish and Mennonite cultures and religions have always captured my attention as this little pocket of the past in a modern world. As someone who is very drawn to the contemporary, new, avante garde, and populated, it is everything that my environment is not. I think that once back at school, I will definitely be keeping up with this show to the best of my abilities. Also Abby and Brittany, because they're from Minnesota and are super interesting.

Today my mom and I went to Allie's apartment to meet the Sear's people who were delivering her stove  and dishwasher. Little did we know, they were delivered by two different people because the delivery department covered the stove, while the installation department covered the dishwasher. So we had two windows, 9-11 and 11-3, and were there for basically that entire time with installation. We headed to Costco afterwards for a much needed fix of the Costco experience. So many free samples! So many huge containers! An electric fireplace! It really is a magical place. For lunch, we got the famous $1.50 hot dog and drink combo, then buy 1 get 1 free blizzards from DQ nom. Now I'm in for the night, and deliberating over whether I will be crafting more tonight or will be a lump after getting up at 7:45 this morning. Shmorg borg.

Not the best lighting. I think once I'm at school and will have someone other than self-timer to take pictures for me, we'll be in a better place. Anyway, shirt's from H&M, shorts from Heartbreaker, and a Polo sweatshirt. I've really been into the tying-sweaters-and-things-around-my-waist thing, it feels really 90's in a good way.
