hands.

well it's about time i know who i came from
Sick day, UGH. In the last week, I got turned down for giving blood (low iron--never happened to me before), experienced heartburn for the first time (I thought I might be having a heart attack for a good hour before W told me what it was), I got food poisoning, and now I am taking a sick day for actually being sick. (!borrrring) These bones is getting old.
I started this masterpiece a while ago but didn't make it very far until bedrest today (thanks gramma for the pedigree charts!). This is the maternal side of my family tree, presented here on my split pea bedroom wall.
For most lines it goes back to my fourth great-grandparents, many of whom have very cool names (like george washington and samuel jackson, for instance). When I get dad's side up, there will be a veritable bow tie of family togetherness in my little cave of a room. It's a small start, but here's to Elijah.

you can't get shampoo or soap in hotel rooms in Cairo, but don't worry. you can get a basket of over-the-counter Rogaine.

the winners

my top light shade of 2009: the O!

this is how it works:

there is an aroma in the silicon (lemongrass for the yellow ones) of the shade so that it lets of aromatic pleasantries for your nose when the light bulb heats up.


my top shoes:

if you can find a place i can buy these i will give you anything in my room.

and the top dress of 2009:

i love this dress. i would get married in it. i would sleep in it and eat in it and dance in it and make projects in it too.
good job, Kate Towers. Your dressmaking skills keep me awake at night. Someday i will be a dress-making fashion forward fiend like you.
