gettin jiggy wid it

So i should be starting the countdown to my birthday, but i'm having a hard time... yea... Mopey Sav has made an appearance. Not really though, i just am feeling BLA about turning 23, so i'm just going to avoid that subject for the time being.

Deezul just turned 9 months old, can you believe it?! It feels like just yesterday Riley decided we should actually buy the little guy, and i was up every 45 min during the night taking him outside to potty train. Everytime i get puppy-fever and want another one, i just remember potty training. Plus with him getting older, he's mellowed out ALOT, like right now, it's only noon, and he's passed out on the couch, not harassing me with tennis balls and toys... he'll do that tonight when it's time for bed :)

i've been doing alot more crafts, including the first craft i wanted to do since i moved here. i started it last night, i'm about halfway done, so watch out for pictures! however i do have a few other pictures of what i've been up to.

so this hideous thing i snagged at ross for like 5 or 6 bucks, i decided it would'nt be so bad if i covered the ugly pictures, and made it into a chalkboard for my kitchen, so thats what i did... by the way... hahaha ok this is kind of embarassing BUT when you go to paint black on something that is cream... don't get cocky with your non existent painting skills and decide that you don't need to tape... i'll put some pictures to show what it looks like... let's just say i'm too lazy to fix it, but it will be the FIRST thing Rye notices... so HE can fix it :)

Before... well after one thin coat of chalkboard paint

and here is the AFTER, i'm pretty proud of this by the way. so feel free to compliment it :)

AND AS PROMISED, here is the picture of my mess.... don't judge me.

Overall i LOVE it, and i just can't wait to hang a cute apron on the little hooks. i have alot of other stuff i'm working on, i'll put pictures up as soon as i finish.

sooo ya, this isn't too exciting of a post, but i really wanted to just purge these pictures on here and get it out of the way :)
