And Now: Pins

I'm pretty sure pinmaking is a lost art, although I don't have any data to back up that argument. So I was pretty stoked to find a great selection of old pins at some store in San Francisco.


1. An old Bronco, for myself, since I need to start building my Bronco-related wardrobe and plus I can't really remember what it looks like SINCE IT'S STILL AT THE MECHANIC AND I'M DYING INSIDE

2. Minnesota, for Junes, because that's where she lives. FOR NOW.

3. A Steelers helmet, for Anne. Because she works down at the smelting plant.

4. Georgia, for me.

5. Canada/USA, for Sandy. Because she's both those things.

6. A school bus, for Chad. Because he seems to really like children.

NOT PICTURED: A pterodactyl, for Joe, and an eagle holding a bottle of whiskey, for me. Cuz it matches.

I apologize if your home state/defining personal detail was not available in pin form.

Teebz Fueling Fire of My Own Ego + CamaroTimesUSA

It's a Valentine's Day miracle! Returned home from (unsuccessful) test drive to this package from Hurrrrllllpppp, LLC, the CEO of which is TEEBZ


Inside of which was none other than a big poster of a picture he took of me that he took over the holidays.


Now to get a fireplace so this baby can get framed and hung over it.

I Open Birthday Presents Early

A couple early presents:

First, from Uncle Mike (the polyglot): Every kid's favorite present, cash!


Second, from mom, a hand-knitted scarf made from baby llamas!


I'm pretty sure it's baby llama fur, not guts.
