I'm back... at least from a trip! :)

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 4 Nov 08

We just got back from a nice vacation, where we got to visit with our friends and attend the wedding of two of our friends. This was back in the area where my fiance and I both lived for about 9 years before moving to Seattle...

Organic milk... ugh.

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 2 Aug 08

So after spending the better part of a week with a very upset tummy, I've decided to cut back heavily on my intake of dairy products. I know that I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, and it just seems to get worse and worse as I get...

Nine Inch Nails on tour!

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 24 Jul 08

I'm so happy that my fiance suggested that I look at the NIN site yesterday, because I discovered that their tour starts in British Columbia on Friday, and then brings them to Seattle the next night! So even though it was very...

I love the ocean

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 20 Jul 08

I'm on my first trip ever to California, and staying on the coast in northern California. This is also the first time I've seen the Pacific Ocean! I haven't been to the ocean in quite a while, and I forgot how much I love it. I...

Weekend plans?

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 19 Jul 08

My weekend is close to about halfway over already, so I'm a little late in posting this. I've got an abbreviated weekend because I fly tomorrow for my job. So I'll be spending my Sunday on a plane and then driving about 4 hours to...

Midnight showings of movies

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 18 Jul 08

My fiance and I went to see "The Dark Knight" last night at the midnight showing. It was the first movie I've ever gone to see at a midnight showing, and I almost couldn't stay awake for it! I was just SO tired by the end that it...

iPhone jealousy

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 17 Jul 08

So my fiance's dad is a HUGE Apple fan, and he recently got a newer iPhone--I think it's a 3G, but I'm not positive. At any rate, he gave his old iPhone to my fiance, and we decided to go ahead and activate it last night. All I...

Rock Band is too much fun!

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 7 Jul 08

A bunch of friends got together on Saturday night. The plan was originally that the guys were going to play video games while the girls worked on crafts. Well, as it turned out, it ended up being a mixed group of folks playing...

I need to change my cell phone number...

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 1 Jul 08

So even though we've lived in Washington for over a year now, we still have our Illinois cell phone numbers. Well, after this morning, I'd really like to change mine ASAP. I was making my lunch, and I thought I heard a phone...

Time for weekend plans, once again!

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 27 Jun 08

My weekend is looking pretty packed, which isn't entirely surprising. I fly back from D.C. this afternoon/evening (it's a 5 hour flight!), and will arrive in Seattle late enough that tonight is pretty much shot. I'll get home, see...

How do you feel about thunderstorms?

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 23 Jun 08

I grew up in the Midwest, so thunderstorms were pretty much a natural occurrence to me. Then we moved to Seattle, where thunder is exceptionally rare. Right now, however, I'm on the East Coast, and we have been getting...

Mmm, jet lag...

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 23 Jun 08

Well, I thought I had figured out a way to beat jet lag, but it doesn't seem to be working quite as planned. I had to fly from Seattle to D.C. yesterday, so I knew I would be losing 3 hours. Because I had to catch the bus to the...

Blisters--lance them, or leave them be?

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 21 Jun 08

I ended up with three blisters after my friends' wedding yesterday--two on my feet, from wearing shoes with no socks, and one on my BACK, where my strapless bra must have pinched or rubbed my skin strangely. At any rate, I need...

Gas prices in your area?

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 16 Jun 08

I was talking to my sister yesterday afternoon, and we got to talking about gas prices. I was shocked to hear how "cheap" (relatively speaking) gas prices were in her area! The lowest I've found gas in Seattle (near our apartment,...

Wedding attire etiquette question

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 16 Jun 08

I've always been told that you shouldn't wear white or black dresses to a wedding, though I think the latter restriction has slipped away in a lot of cases. But I just want to double check. I'm heading to a friend's wedding on...

Natural fibers that dry quickly?

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 11 Jun 08

I'm working on a commissioned project for an acquaintance of mine, and we're trying to determine what sort of natural fibers will dry most quickly. I've found that wool won't work for this purpose, and cotton seems to be too slow...

Research (yay!) ... and then the writing...

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 11 Jun 08

I'm always excited to get to do a bunch of research, as I love collecting all of the facts and information. However, when it comes to writing something based on all that research, I have a really hard time getting started. You...

What do you have too much of?

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 9 Jun 08

I was at a craft show/swap with friends yesterday, and some of us were talking about how much of various supplies we have. One woman had 6 Rubbermaid containers of fabric. Another had 6 just of one variety of fabric! Compared to...

Fiber dust from my sewing machine

scarywhitegirl @scarywhitegirl (2766) • United States 26 May 08

I woke up this morning with partially stuffy sinuses and a sore throat. Unfortunately, I know that this is from spending most of yesterday hunched over my sewing machine, inhaling all of the fiber dust that sewing machines kick...
