Bizarre Bazaar

Hey, guys! I’ll be selling things at the Bizarre Bazaar craft sale tomorrow in Hot Springs! There will be lots of crafters there with a lot of great stuff to sell- a great place to wrap up your Christmas shopping (literally- I’ve got pretty tissue paper!)!! It’ll be at 118 Arbor Street in downtown Hot Springs. Here’s a link to the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/chassity.jordan#/event.php?eid=189598529764&index=1

I’ll be selling reindeer magnets, wood and clay earrings, greeting cards featuring Millie and Ingrid, and puff magnets (as well as my random assortment of other magnets!).

Here are a few photos of some stuff I’ll be selling… I just looked at some photos uploaded by other people who’ll be selling stuff, and it’s all amazing!!

We started a dance habit. These are the beginnings.

Book!

Well, kids, I’ve made it to bookmaking. I used Blurb, a great site for making all kinds of books, and put together a book of photos I took of my friend Cassie and her siblings, for their parents for Christmas. I finally finished (late) and it’s up!

Here’s a link so you can check it out.

The Wallaces

New Jear.

Hey, kids. It’s been like, some months since I updated.

Oops!

Last semester was crazy.
I haven’t made much new stuff.

I did make an apron in between my attempts at baking good stuff. I’ll post a picture of it later, if I take one. Hmmm. But what happened was, I’d go try to bake some cookies, and I’d realize, Wait! I don’t have a holiday apron to bake in! So I had to halt the attempt.. and go sew. That only happened once though. Then we were supposed to go have a holiday party with some olda folks, and we ran a little late and they gave up on us. All the lights were out by the time we got there, fifteen minutes or so after the scheduled time. So what did we do? Ate the cookies we brought. We did leave the pies for them, though.

Oops.

In other news, I’ve got … like three and a half books I want to finish before class starts next week. I’ve been awful about reading. I only do stuff I want to when there’s other stuff that needs to be done first (ie, papers, reading, etc). But anyway, the books are:
Jesus Wants to Save Christians by Rob Bell
Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers by Shane Claiborne and someone else, and
Jesus for President, also by Shane Claiborne and a different someone else.

Both those guys are fantastic writers and I love what they have to say. I just seem to love ti more when I have texts I’m required to read. :/

Anyway, in other news, … I think that’s about it.

Turns out that was kinda lame! I’ll have more to say later.

Oh, probably when I finish the book I’ve read the most of so far, Strange Son by Portia Iverson. It’s about some autistic kids. And I love it. It’s basically someone who’s as passionate about getting into autistic kids’ brains as I am. It’s incredibly frustrating to me that people assume such negative things about autistic kids because they fail the tests we give them regarding their intelligence, emotional capacity, etc —- tests that are designed for people who don’t have problems communicating. I believe autistics understand a LOT more than we give them credit for, they just can’t demonstrate that the way we can. I could tangential some more here, but I’ll wait til there’s more to say and hopefully better organized in my head so it will hopefully be better organized here.

Ceau

“Can you fire the wind, Jack?”

Can you fire a hurricane?

 

Tomorrow is my favorite day of the week: Thursday. Thursdays are my Fridays. Fridays I have no classes and no other reason to set my alarm for 6:30, 6:35, 6:48 or 6:59 AM (I feel like I won’t make it on time if I wake up after 7). Thursdays are NBC magic primetime lineup night. Tomorrow, the new season of 30 Rock premiers! I’m on pins and needles, really. Last season, Jack had been demoted and Kathy Geiss had been given his job, as Don Geiss had fallen into a diabetic coma before he told the board that Jack was his chosen successor. Jack was working for Homeland Security/Some other stuff/ And some more stuff with Cooter Burger (that was the president’s nickname for Cooter, not his real name. Ha), until Jack’s old assistant called and said that even though Geiss was still in a coma, he had spoken: “Jackie boy.” So Jack resigns, and we don’t know what happens after that.

We DO, however, know that Steve Martin, Oprah Winfrey, and Jennifer Anniston are guest starring in the premier. Who’s excited? PLEASE WELCOME LIZ LEMONNNN! (**Edit** :: I was kidding. All those people guest star in their own episode. Jennifer Anniston’s was last night. My favorite so far was the Oprah one. The Steve Martin one has yet to air … next Thursday won’t come fast enough***)

 

Oh, and in case you couldn’t tell, I have a fat test at 8:00 AM tomorrow. I am not tired enough to crash-study even though.. yikes, I really should be studying. I’ve typed notes but I haven’t looked over them.

 

Okay I’ll let you know tomorrow how badly I think I tanked the test. Keep me in your prayers, crew.

 

Greenzo out!

Weight Loss

No, I’m not concerned about losing weight.

I am, however, concerned about the hordes of women who might be driven to insanity over their distress in wondering, “Where the hell is MY Jim Halpert?!”  … I’ll be leading the pack.

Anyways.   .. . Wow.

Anyone else watch the Season 5 premier tonight? 

In other news, we’ve been playing with my camera… a lot. Instead of studying. It started with the shoes I bought this afternoon, on sale. But then it got later. You know what that means? Weird faces. Which means laughing until we cry.

Here are the shoes that started it all:

They are gold and awesome.

THEN, Kamie suggested we stop by Target— and they had more Office stuff in their dollar bins! Do you know how excited I was? I don’t think you do. I know my fridge was happy when I got home.

Then the faces started. Kamie’s way too good.

I might’ve cried a little.

Then, our cats keep us entertained on a regular basis. They often sleep in either identical or mirror image positions on the red couch. This was from the other day:

And today, the same. I don’t know why they do this but it’s so funny.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways. …

 

Okay, two more pictures. Of Kamie and me and our cats, since we’re cat ladies. 

 Yaaay, Gibbard, best kittle ever!

  

 

 

 

 

And her brother Jet, who’s subjected to playing “airplane” with Kamie (he really loves it)!

 

 

 

 

Yay.

More face pictures might get put on FB later.

 

Well, I love Jim Halpert, and good night.

Today in Tangibles

Schrist and I went to the fair. It was awesome. We each paid four dollars for four tickets to ride the ferris wheel (because I knew the Zipper/Bullet/Sizzler would make me vomit), just to have the hispanic carney put it into high gear and whip us around that circular path. We asked him to stop it at the top. He did. Then he stopped it. We were the ONLY people on the thing, and no one was in line. We almost had him convinced to let us go around a couple more times, but his persistence trumped ours. We grudingly got off, and then realized we forgout our most powerful weapon: our SEC-shuality! (A little Jenna Maroney, anyone..?) .. Oh well. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the fair. Hip hip —

This isn’t my favorite photo from the fair … but it is a photo of my favorite part of the fair: COTTON CANDY CANDY TIMES! Oh, man. We had a bit of cotton candy leftover. We brought it home and fed some to Jet. Gibbard wasn’t interested.   … So far Jet hasn’t started bouncing off the walls. We figure it’s only a matter of time.

This is Christy in the middle, with our buddy Anna on her right and Carolyn on her lefty. The fun house pictures were neat. (we didn’t go inside.. just admired from outside)

Creepy dragon ride.

 

Creepy rabbit toss game. Haha. Guess how you play this game. ^^^^

Hokay.

 

Oh, also, this is the week of workshops for me. Tomorrow night starts a series of workshops on autism and RDI therapy which focuses on the root of autistic kids’ speech/social problems, rather than behavioral methods that just force kids to say things, which doesn’t actually help them build relationships. Friday is the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability workshop at UCA, where I’ll learn about administering it and interpreting it and using it for people with ADD/ADHD and autism. ))) Then next week, another RDI workshop, and one more the following Thursday.   . .which means I have to miss the actual premier of The Office. … but luckily Christy’s got a tv/vcr so I can record it! Just gotta remember to buy a VHS tape. Three cheers for old school!

Ceau, prietii.  .. I forgot how to pluralize prieten again, so we’re going with prietii for now.

Oh, ps, I’ll be uploading more phair photos (yes, I just typed that) onto my flickr! Click upon the flickr to view them.
