I had an AMAZING 29th birthday in June. I was totally spoiled by everybody. Dan and I celebrated our birthdays at Green Mango. A total surprise to me that we were having a get together as I tried to book a reservation for six and they told me they were full. Little did I know that R had invited so many people that we practically took over the restaurant!
I got a stockpile of these - as my friends know exactly how to enable my addiction:
My refugee status at Starbucks is nicely intact for the rest of the summer.
I finally got to go see LOTR thanks to the generosity of my l'il sis. Everybody should go see it at least once! I'm a little bummed that there doesn't seem to be a soundtrack for it yet.
AND..... I got a sewing machine! I haven't had time to do much with it except pet it now and again. But i've got big dreams for it, baby!
Plus I'm still collecting on prezzies as Jane's promised to get my toes to Buff Nails. Kinda pathetic that it's August and my toes aren't painted anything remotely resembling bubble-gum pink.
Birthdays aside, I had a blast working on a dinner theatre fundraiser. Little Shop of Horrors is definitely one of my top favourite musicals.
Our "homeless" servers:
and dinner theatre ambiance:
The plant that tried to take over the world! It actually ATE people!
Some of the cast members I tortured with new, IMPROVED, versions of their songs every rehearsal and before every show. Thank goodness they're quick learners.
Shortly after that, we had a booth at the local Strawberry Festival. I stayed up until 4am in my own sweat shoppe to make these bubble babies to use as giveaways to promote the company. I'm really happy with the way they turned out!
More pictures from the day can be seen here.
The Mofo's raced in Halifax at the best regatta we've ever participated in; even though Halifax totally cheated and we ended up coming in 2nd overall. Here we are getting some energy between races. BBQ Pork on a stick. Mmmm.
Heather and Rick had a beautiful June wedding. R and I got lost on the way there but we eventually made it! Glad we did, because it was one of the best weddings we've ever been to. Watching her dance with her new stepson was the cuuutest. Somebody pass me a tissue. Quick!
We've got more pics here.
Since I completely dorked out and told Soph's mom that "felting is my passion" and nobody actually knows what I mean by that, here is one of my latest needlefelted creations:
I also finished knitting this Hello Kitty hat for Abby! I just hope it fits!
And lastly....I got more bangs chopped into my hair which renders me into a state of complete shock everytime I look in the mirror. [insert huge sigh] Not impressed!
