Buddy's Great Escape

This is Buddy...
Usually he stays in Kori's crate, but due to her need for a new bed in her crate, he made a temporary venture into the kitchen. It was there he discovered her supper dish.



Needless to say, Kori wasn't sure what to think about this new development...




But after closer examination, she realized that Buddy was not too big of a threat and wouldn't be able to eat all of her food.

So, she decided to join him...



It's rough life, and sometimes just having to guard her supper dish from her best friend takes it all out of her...


It's tough being a basset.

Bridal Shower



This past weekend I attended my first bridal shower (sorry Amanda, I don't count yours and JR's wedding one). There had to be over 100 women there, and the bride was freaking out. It was a tea party theme which was very pleasant. Lots of little sweets and finger sandwiches and iced teas. She walked away with at least a couple thousand dollars in gifts, and a few pieces of lingerie that made her turn bright red when unwrapping. I was able to catch up with a few girls that I graduated high school with and hadn't seen since. One of them was pregnant, with an insatiable appetite - it was cute in a tiny person being pregnant sort of way.

On the whole, it was an enjoyable afternoon - I probably wouldn't mind going to another one someday. Which for those that know me is saying a lot - what with my weird social freakout quirk and all.

Etsy.com


I'm posting my first thing for sale on Etsy.com tonight! It's these uber-cute Mommy & Me aprons... I fell in love with the fabic, and I love that the child's size is almost an exact replic of the adult size. I'm steadily (nearly) finishing projects so hopefully more will be up soon - darn work for interfering with my sewing!

Sorry.....

Horrible me for not writing! It has been crazy hectic here, first with the guys from SSL coming over and then with parents going out of town, and now with working downtown, it seems hard to get a moment in edgewise.

Well I saw EMM with Alyssa on Saturday, and it was uber-cute. Much, much better than the video I had seen a couple years ago. I made soft pretzels, which looked horrible, but tasted great - so instead of giving those out to the cast I just bought Eat'n'Park Smiley Cookies.

I had my orientation today for Carnegie Museums, pretty easy stuff. In theory I start training at the Science Center tomorrow, but have not heard back from my supervisor yet about when and where to go.

I joined Etsy.com under the store name of "Kori Kreations" (note the name change on the blog as well!), and soon will be featuring some "kitchen couture" things for sale on there - mainly aprons, placemats, table cloths, and maybe some knit dish cloths (we'll see). I am hoping that this will be a good way to supplement my part time income, until a full time position at the museum comes along.

Hopefully later today, I'll have the pics uploaded from the party, and within the next couple days the pics from SSL EMM (I took over 120!). Off to run errands and an afternoon full of sewing, and if the weather holds out another hour or so, I have to mow the lawn.
