I know I've been M.I.A-ish lately. I feel like I havent been able to spend a day at home relaxing/catching up on stuff (cause I kinda havent). This month is going to be crazy busy for me, the boyfriend is leaving in less than 40 days. I'm nervous, I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm impatient, I'm not ready, time is moving just way too fast for me to catch up. I'm happy and excited for him but I'm worried because I wont hear from him for weeks and hes the only person I really talk to and hang out with. I mean that literally. So what do you do when the only person you really talk to and hang out with has to go fix his life? I'm not sure what I'm gonna do to pass 5 months worth of time without him here, but I guess I'll figure something out. I have to, right? He wants me to get a job but with the way the economy is going, how is that even possible? I'm hoping to work on my crafting while he's gone and have something neat to show him when he comes back. And I'm hoping I dont crawl into a ball under my bed and teach my dog how to bring me snacks for the next five months. I'm hoping.

So the other day me & my boyfriend were running around Walnut Creek trying to find somewhere "creative" to take a picture for the ELF contest I mentioned in my 50 subs blog. We took a bunnnch of pictures and people were actually just staring at me. What, you've never seen a chick with highlight and a brush in her hand before?! Goodness! The picture I actually really wanted to take, I couldnt because there were kids in the plaza splashing in the water fountain and running around.

It came down to these two:


This one was my idea. There's this really funky looking alligator in front of Boudin that I always stare at when I eat there. I kinda knew what I wanted the pic to look like, but then I didnt. So I just did whatever, my boyfriend took the pic and he was like "you look disgusted................... this isnt gonna work out...... lets move on..... from this ugly thing" hahahah! So I took one smiling and he goes "why are you smiling so hard? what did the alligator tell you that was so funny?!" weirdo haha!




This was his idea. It was a really good idea, but it didnt come out the way I wanted. Plus we had to hurry and dodge workers cause you're not suppose to take pictures in stores or something. But he figured it could be like "I feel bad for the person next to me. You cant enjoy ELF if you have no eyes lips OR face" I thought it was pretty funny hahah.

I cant decide between the two and I have until I think... 9PM my time. Since I think the entries cant be turned in passed midnight EST. And I'm on PST, I dunno, I suck at time zones haha!

I wanna post the rest of them cause they're all kinda funny but I'm too lazy to edit all the pictures so, you guys get these two =).

Ahh! I hate deciding between two good things, I always feel like man I shoulda picked the other one when I turn one in! Dont you hate that?! I dont normally enter contests (as you guys can probably tell by now) but I figure this one was simple enough and why not? Even though I dont need any MORE ELF than I already have.

Oh! I put together my mom's birthday gift last night and snapped some pictures, I'll post those in the AM, I'm pooped! I hope she likes her gift! Today's her birthday, yay! Happy Birthday Mama!
