Hooked

Ben and I are hooked on Threadless.

When I tell people about this place, most people don't know what I'm talking about. So I thought I'd share.

Threadless is a website where you can order t-shirts, usually with very cleaver and funny designs. People can write into Threadless with ideas for new t-shirts and designs of their own, they are voted on and if your design gets picked to go to press...you get paid for it. How awesome is that!

Ben has SO many great ideas for new t-shirts so hopefully we can have some Ben inspired shirts in circulation soon. Could be interesting.

I thought I'd share some of the t-shirt designs that I have purchased...mostly for Ben:

"Birthday"

"Camouflage"


"Fail"

"Lemon Aid"


"War and Peas"

A Night at the Opera

I just bought tickets for Phantom of the Opera. I have LOVED this production since I was a little kid. I actually have had the entire script since I was little. I have a book with all the pictures and behind the scenes production notes from the early versions. I've played the music on the piano for years, listened to the Broadway soundtrack countless times...you could say I'm a Phantom Phanatic. :)

When Ben told me he had never seen it before I knew the next time it came to town we would be buying tickets...no matter what.

2 weeks from today we will be there. The countdown has begun and to gear up for that night...I will be listening to the soundtrack non-stop now.

Celebration of 7's Begins

Aug 7th: Happy Birthday to my nephew Jake! He turns 3 today but we are planning a family party for him on Sunday which will include one of his favorite things...watching planes at the airshow.

Soon to come:

Sept 7th: My 24th birthday. Don't know exactly the plans but Ben has something up his sleeve.

Oct 7th: Happy birthday to my other nephew Sammy! He'll be 1 year old. We'll probably have a big party for him like we did for Jake's 1st birthday. I'm sure a lot of smooshing cake between the fingers will be involved too.

Dec 7th: Ben and I celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Again, Ben has some plans going on that I have no idea about.
