I know what you’re thinking. I should probably become a photographer. Look at the depth, the adorable-ness, the artsy-fartsy angle, and the way the little birdie looks so gosh darn thin! I can’t explain it, really. I was just overcome by my own raw, unbridled talent all of a sudden and I snapped this breathtaking photo of this little bird. SO, throwing caution to the wind, I’m quitting my day job and launching my new photography business which specializes in Instragram iPhone 4 Photos of little adorable crafts.

Just an FYI for my true friends out there: this is the moment when you’re obligated to tell me that I should NOT audition for “America’s Next Best Photographer” because I’m just NOT that talented. And Simon will mock me to the end of the age if you don’t slap me in the face and warn me now of my misdirected pride.

ANYWAY, that little monologue was my way of proudly proclaiming that while I may not have a photography talent, I AM THE BEST AT MAKING ADORABLE LITTLE CRAFTS.

I mean, look at that bird. Isn’t he cute? Oh, you need more pictures? Here you go…

I’ve been learning all sorts of new crafty things lately. I’m working on my first from-a-pattern-dress, I taught myself how to needle felt (this little bird is needle felted), and I’m working on my crochet skills.

Indeed, I think it’s safe to say that I rock.

you know you live in a trailer park when…

the local trailer park geese [we’re a fancy trailer park, remember, we have a freaking lake] are getting real comfortable where they are. they’ve taken over the lake, obviously, but also the playground and the soccer field, and sometimes the road. and i’m all like fine, whatevs. because really, does ANYONE have tact in a trailer park?

you’re driving out of the t-park at 7:45am and you see not one, or two, but SIX yellow school buses turn in to the trailer park within a three minute timespan. and at this point, you determine that at least four people in your trailer park are school bus drivers by trade.

i’m sure there are more.

“some people say he’s an s.o.b. but i say you gotta be one to deal with ’em”

thanks, alicia, for the inspiration!
