I ONLY BAKE CUPCAKES OF TRUTH


And cookies I guess, but they're notoriously deceitful.

IT'S SUNDAY NIGHT AND I'M...

...playing Eddie Money/Foster the People mashups on the ukulele in a suede blazer and grey y-fronts. Pretty standard, really.

I LOVE THE STUPID OREO

You know the one.
His top is on upside down, so the curly pattern is faceplanted in the icing.
Some people complain about the Stupid Oreo and whine about quality control and how they can't eat it like a real Oreo because the whole twist, lick, (dunk), munch formula is thrown off by the cream (first of all, if we're being honest it's not cream at all. It's icing. Come on now) being stuck in the crevices (side note: my geomorphology prof last year always made a point of saying creVASSes when talking about glaciers so we would know they were a way bigger deal than a regular crevice such as what you find on an Oreo).
I don't have a problem with the Stupid Oreo for two reasons:
1) I don't eat Oreos according to the prescribed formula. Everything is better in sandwich form, why would you purposely de-sandwich something?
2) I didn't even buy real Oreos. All is forgiven when you're store-brand.

I LEAVE FOR THE SUMMER...

And Blogger changes everything.
Typical.

Actually, no hard feelings Blogger, change is good. I changed my whole life. I changed schools, I got a new phone (and plan! Unlimited texting is the best, why did no one tell me this sooner?), I moved across the country. I'm living on my own for the first time and I love it. I have a new job. I learned how to play a new instrument. I don't want to be a monkey anymore (for real this time), but I am studying them a bit, so the Calypso dream lives on!

I'm completely happy.

Change is great.

I LOVE BLANKETS (and BILET GETS HER MODEL ON)



                                  

I finished Baby's Blanket and I love it. I bought the backing flannel months ago because it was cute and cuddly and had little vehicles printed all over it. Maybe I like it because I'm moving across the country, and trains and planes and red wagons can bring me back to visit. I initially toyed with making some sort of airplane appliqué for the front panel, but I'm not my father. I cannot draw planes. So I went with a sailboat (I know, I took the easiest route ever)
But I really, really love the end result.



Also, it was sunny today so I took better pictures of Bilet 2.0. No new outfits yet, but it was fun.



A Terrible Film Choice

Why have I not made this dress in Siobhan-size yet?

I totally gave Bilet a nosejob

So. Silly.

I hope The Kid loves her as much as I do.
