I agree 100%. I always skip over the first page of sketchbooks/journals/scrapbooks and come back to it later.
I really liked it. I think Shia LaBeouf is great.
Talk about a death wish for Supernatural. If you want a show to survive, you don't put it on the same time as The Office. There are 167 other hours in the week that Supernatural could be on, but nooooo, it's the exact same time as The Office. I'm bummed. So I've been watching Supernatural on the internet a few days later cuz everyone watches The Office and I want to be in the know.
I found this stuff about planets pretty interesting. And, where have I been the last few years? I didn't know that Pluto is not considered a planet anymore. Everything I learned in kindergarten has changed. What I find most fascinating is how small we are. I mean, 1321 Earths could fit inside Jupiter. And do you know how big Earth is? It takes like 14 hours just to fly to the other side. Anyways. Here are some fun facts about the planets in our solar system:
Records of Mercury’s existence date back to 1000 BC. It doesn’t have any moons. It is about half the size of Earth. It is the smallest of the eight planets and closest to the sun. It orbits around the sun in 88 days. It takes 59 days to rotate on its axis. The average surface temperature is 800 degrees. A space probe flyby is expected in 2008 so we can learn more about this planet.
It is a gas giant and the second largest planet in the solar system. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice, debris and dust. 60 known moons orbit Saturn. Wind speeds reach up to 1118 mph. It takes 30 years to orbit the sun and rotates on its axis every 378 days. 95 Earths could fit inside Saturn. If Saturn was submerged in a giant (and I mean giant!) bath tub, it would float.
It looks like a piece of blue bubblegum to me. It was discovered in 1871. It takes 84 years to orbit the sun and 369 days to rotate on its axis. The axis is tilted 90 degrees so each pole gets around 42 years of continuous sunlight, followed by 42 years of darkness. Uranus has a set of vertical rings, though not nearly as extensive as Saturn’s. Uranus has 63 moons.
It was discovered in 1846. Neptune has 13 moons. It takes 164 years to orbit around the sun and 367 days to rotate on its axis. 58 Earths could fit inside Neptune. Wind speeds reach up to 1300 mph. It is the coldest planet (because it’s furthest from the sun) with surface temperatures of -360 degrees. Neptune has a small ring system confirmed by the flyby of the Voyager 2.
and the EMP in Seattle
(and more)) is giving the area a serious makeover. On Wednesday he revealed his plans. 
Wooden and metal blocks stacked Lego-style resemble the future 2.1 billion-dollars-to-build town. "The Point" will include of a five-star hotel - which could become the state's tallest building at 450 feet - and a 12,000-seat arena. Stores, condos, offices and restaurants will make up a town center. On the outside edges of the man-made water features, there will be more housing for folks who want to live near downtown but not in it
Looks like something straight out of Dr. Seuss book if you ask me! But, I'm all for modern designs so I'm excited that this is going to be built in Lehi, UT of all places.
You can read more about the project here.
Now if only I could figure out how to add the pictures of the designs I made in Illustrator! I'm too tired to mess with computers though so I'll try again tomorrow.
And in case you're interested, here's some info about the painting:
After your sandwich is placed inside, no one will want to touch it.
If you're interested in getting your hands dirty with these bags, send an email to skforlee@gmail.com and they'll let you know when they become available."
I wonder how long it takes to make one book.
Here are four different folded books mounted to the wall - very unique home decor.
This books is selling for only $15.00!
This one is my favorite.
I love that show. It's the modern-day version of X-Files, it even has one of the same producers - Kim Manners. Then I turned on the cable and watched some footage of September 11th 2001. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was driving to school from seminary listening to 107.7 THE END 
and the radio hosts were talking about the disaster. When I got to school we were rushed into our advisory class where we watched the events unfold on the television. Then we were sent to our regular classes and my math teacher actually made us take the test scheduled that day. Like I could concentrate!
We made our way to the hotel and relaxed for a little. Then we went to THE Mall of America. It's like a city. There are so many stores. It's huge. There's not just one roller coaster in the middle like I thought, there's an entire theme park! 
Naturally, being in a mall all I wanted to do was shop! But alas, I had to work and like I really need more clothes.
We looked at the Halloween stuff that she collects. I love Halloween and seeing all the decorations in that store made me giddy. Side story: Last year's Halloween was a disaster (although now it's kinda funny). I had no idea what to expect since it was our first year living in the apartment. I bought tons of candy, put it in a special cauldron bowl, downloaded the Harry Potter soundtrack and played it really loud so everyone could hear it, dressed up in my Renaissance dress, and basically decked out the place. And how many trick-or-treaters did we get? One. And where was I when that one trick-or-treater knocked? In the bathroom. Yeah, this year will not be like last :)
Our location could have been better - we were right across from the Rain Forest Cafe so there was constant mist drifting towards us and obnoxious animal sounds drowning our conversations. But it's all good. Back at the hotel, my mom and I watched some more September 11th footage. Words cannot describe my emotions about this tragedy.
We set up the make-and-take and the craziness began. 
Most of the women were really fast and were in-and-out in under two minutes. Others took their time and tried to make their own card/layout using the supplies. Whatever floats their boats. Our line was probably the fastest of them all. Women thanked us for having such a fast line because they stood in other vendor booth lines for up to two hours! If I were to do it all over again, I'd probably provide a layout instead of a card and I'd make our booth display more fancy. I loved Doodlebug Design's eye catching booth.
During lunch I met up with my mom and her life-long friend who lives in the area. 
I got some baked Zitti from Sbarros and it was good. After lunch Kelly taught the two classes and did a wonderful job. 
As I walked around helping the class attendees, it was funny to see how many people STARED at us. Like we were some kind of freaks. What's scrapbooking? Where are all the men? What are they doing? It was funny. Even Blogger underlines "scrapbooking" as a mispelled word!
Right at 5 we packed up our stuff and headed to the Archiver's in Maple Grove. We did a lot of giveaways, ate some dinner (more pasta, but I love pasta) and quickly taught them how to make this card. 
I bought a cute 25-day countdown calendar box from Karen Foster Design to alter for Christmas.
Back at the hotel, my mom and I watched Overboard. Such a cute movie.
Saturday was exponentially more crowded than Friday. I've heard that bad weather gets more people to the mall and it rained all weekend. Saturday was a repeat of Friday, just more people. 
I got an amazing Nutella crepe for lunch. So healthy! Crepes remind me of my days in Paris. This is an actual picture from Paris and he's making a Nutella crepe.
After the booth closed my mom and I hung out. We ate dinner at an Italian restaurant called Tucci's and I got margherita pizza. Mmmmm. It reminds me of my days in London. I would get margherita pizza every time we went to this Zizzi's place. 
Then we went and saw The Women. Don't see it. The only thing I liked about it was Meg Ryan's hair. There wasn't anything worth watching on TV at the hotel so we went to bed.
