here are some of the crafties that i've finished. i only posted some of them because a lot are repeats ... 

  

  

i finished 4 slices of bread and 5 eggs ... i also made one cinnamon bun that i'm not sure i like ... i am a little worried about what to do with all this stuff because i now have so many of them ... i am planning to start on fruit and cakes.

yesterday i didn't go to work because i had stuff to do. i got up early to finish stacy's birthday present and then i went to get my passport renewed ... i went in to take my pictures and when he took it, he let me look at it and even said "it's digital" ... it was really bad so i asked him if i could take another one (since it was digital) and he said "no." grr ... 10 more years with another legal document with a horrible picture of me. arg. 

after that, i went to the village to do some shopping ... i thought about it last night and the stuff that i got stacy to go along with the bag that i made her was just not enough for her 20th birthday ... so, first i went to american eagle (really for me) and bought some new underwear because i haven't done laundry in a while and i need underwear and because i had a 15% discount coupon. this is what i got ... cute, huh?

  

  

then i went to urban outfitters to pick up stacy's stuff ... but that's when all the trouble happened. i parked in front of the store on the slight incline which is not big enough to need your hand breaks ... so my foot was still on the brake pedal and then i put the car in P and let my foot off the brakes and was getting ready to cut the ignition when i realized that my car was rolling back so i slammed on the breaks and put on the hand break ... my car still slid. i put all my weight on the break pedal and kept the car from sliding but it was really scary. i tried to put the car back into D and pull in but it wouldn't let me go forward  so ... i decided to keep my foot on the pedal and turn off my car and try to find how to fix the problem in the owners manual ... i couldn't find it so i tried to call EVERYONE (except jen because the morning before i called her and she was sleeping and i didn't want her to get mad at me) and NO ONE picked up. so i had to sit there and try and figure out whether or not to call 9-1-1 and if my mom would get really mad if i did ... i ended up trying to start again (this was like 5 minutes later) and the car started up normally, i took off the hand break and i was able to pull in and stop the car with no sliding ... thank god. the good thing about the whole situation was that there was construction on the street behind me so there were no cars coming the whole time ... i don't know what happened with the car but it seems to be normal now. i drove it the rest of the day and nothing else happened ... 

anyway, i ended up getting stacy this really cute cookbook about cupcakes and a cupcake fizzer ... this is her present ... 

  

after urban outfitters i went home to wait to get picked up for my wisdom teeth consultation but it ended up that my mom flaked on me so i had to go myself and my dad met me there. i would have rather gone by myself with nobody ... especially my dad. it ends up that only one of my wisdom teeth is out and that's that only one that "needs" to come out but the other three are positioned so that they'll erode my molars in a few years and since i have to do one now i want to do all four. the dentist said that it was my choice and the only difference between doing one and doing 4 is recovery time. when my dad heard that he just immediately said that i would only do one (because he doesn't want me to miss work i presume) ... i want to do all four because i don't want to have to worry about it all year and if they start bothering me while i am in austin it will suck ... it'll be just like when my teeth were bothering me last year and then i got that infection on both sides and then that really bad fever ... i refuse to do that again. anyway ... now my mom is calling me constantly and nagging. i hate her when she is like this. i wish they would just leave me alone. she keeps on saying that the only reason it was ok for jen to do all four is because she has waited for a long time and because she is quite and does not complain ... i don't really care about what she thinks ... if she doesn't want to take care of me she doesn't have to. she will be at work anyway. ultimately it is my decision and at least i don't have to listen to her complain and bitch for too long because my surgery is tomorrow ... 

after the consultation i went to meet stacy, rey and john r. at cafe express at the art museum. i didn't have to pay to get in because the guy said that it was an hour from closing anyway ... so i met them and we did the art museum, the contemporary and then the menil. it was pretty fun. then we went to house of pies and met with kathryne and her brother zeke and then we all went home ... stacy loved her present ... oh and she brought me a notebook with le petit prince on it as well as a bottle of chianti from italy!!! it is the first bottle of wine that someone got for me ... i feel like an adult. 

  

taking off work tomorrow too ... yay!
