<br />
We'll get to that later - promise.<br />
<br />
But for now... it's camping weekend! Camping + the beach = happy Heather. Our little <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pumpchurch">church</a> decided to take a camping trip and it was just the motivation we needed to acquire camping supplies! We've wanted them since we've been married, but never could justify just outright buying stuff. Enter Facebook selling/trading groups! Thanks to one that I'm a part of, we were able to get all this stuff for under $150!<br />

The current nail craze happening is well... crazy! People have no limits on what the can and will do to their nails!<br />
<br />
What do you like?<br />
<br />
The bare nail?<br />
One classic color?<br />
The accent nail?<br />
Glitter mania?<br />
Jewels and 3D art?<br />
Crazy detailed designs?<br />
Or do you give up and just bite them off? ; )<br />
<br />

Our lovely <a href="http://rainydaysandredballoons.blogspot.com/2013/05/bachelorette.html">friends</a> tied the knot this past weekend and it was a great celebration of their relationship and love. So happy for their married lives to begin! These photos were from my phone and some other bridesmaid's as well. Mostly things that the photographer wasn't around for - just you wait for those! <a href="http://styleitjess.com/">Jessi</a> and <a href="http://www.jodierionphotography.com/">Jodi</a> do amazing work, I can't wait to see them!<br />

Monday was spent loving on my soon-to-be-married <a href="http://rainydaysandredballoons.blogspot.com/2013/03/friendship.html">friend</a>, Savannah.<br />
<br />
Saw <a href="http://blog.hwtm.com/2012/08/playful-beer-bra-bachelorette-party/">this</a> party and was inspired. We went with root beers as the bride is a fan and it was in the afternoon. ; )<br />
<br />
All of her maids were able to attend along with a couple other lovely ladies. We had way too much root beer and ate ourselves into a sugar coma.<br />

We might have had a mini root beer keg as well as a root beer cake... to go with our root beer floats.<br />

<br />
Hopefully this will make up for it.<br />
<br />
I've been needing to do something about our dining room for a while. Previously it served as pantry storage, computer desk area, and where the dining table was... with one chair... that was only used as table-top storage.<br />
<br />
And then I had this other problem - it's hard for me to do anything artsy or crafty unless I have some place to be inspired or creative in. Thus - my genius idea.<br />
<br />
Transform the dining room into my craft room!<br />
<br />
We are an "eat in front of the tv" home <i>(not what I want forever, but this is us for now)</i>, and the dining room was just sucking away precious space in our small apartment.<br />
<br />
A day off ended up being a day of work anyway...but the fun kind : )<br />

It was nothing of my own doing. A friend knew I was looking, her work was hiring someone...ba-da-big, ba-da-boom! Job'd.<br />
<br />
It's part time and I'm totally fine with that. It's at a drop off dry cleaners so there is always something to do making the time go by pretty fast. People have asked what I will be doing and all I can think to say is "I don't know?" I've had two days of training so far and this pretty much sums it about up:<br />

I think I get to go on computers on Thursday. Oh training. It's like syllabus week. Love it.<br />
<br />
Oh, and it's in the Nob Hill / NW 23<span style="font-size: xx-small;">rd</span> part of downtown (love!) which is super fun and, when payday comes, a HUGE temptation of shops and food I want to buy!<br />
<br />
Starbucks, Goodwill, thai food, desserts, and more - oh my!<br />

The reason for our week in California was to see Jaime, Husby's long time family friend, get married. She was a beautiful bride. The weather was perfect. It was at a winery. All in all a grand ol' time. And I had a good hair day - that's always a plus.<br />

<br />
Spent a day in Santa Cruz walking around the boardwalk. One day I'll ride in the overhead cart things. Tried <a href="http://www.mariniscandies.com/product/BACON-01/ChocolateCoveredBacon.aspx">chocolate covered bacon.</a> Had a hot dog on a stick. Got partially pooped on by a stupid seagull (Sister-in-law Allie got the bulk of it).<br />
<br />
All in all it was a fun day. Gotta love some good ol' Vitamin D.<br />

I love St. Patrick's Day.<br />
<br />
I just do. And I don't even really like beer. I know, I know. What could the 17th of March even offer me? Perhaps it's the wishing I was part Irish. Or that I love little leprechauns. And Irish accents. And my former traveling buddy was from the Land of Green.<br />

It's also a day to celebrate being <a href="http://www.rainydaysandredballoons.blogspot.com/2013/03/friendship.html"><b>friends</b></a>.<br />
Because our friendship started with a love of today and the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096487/">Young Guns</a>. (Yeah... not too sure of the correlation either).<br />

<br />
I swear it's a thing.<br />
<br />
Because I'm positive I have it. I can say "yes" to a lot of<a href="http://socialanxietydisorder.about.com/od/copingwithsad/a/phonephobia.htm"> <b>these questions</b></a><b>. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Rational? Not at all.<br />
<br />
I used to be on the phone all the time. In middle school, I would spend all afternoon and weekends on the phone with one of my girlfriends. Literally. all. day. We would hang up when we had to pee (probably would have stayed on even then but I didn't have a cordless). We'd watch t.v. "together". I think a mixture of growing apart from people and the invention of texting and rise of emails and social media as made it much harder to communicate with our real voice. Don't even get me started on Skype and Face time (the thought of them being able to see my awkwardness while on the phone?!). Sure, it's great for those separated by distance and grandparents wanting to see their grand-babies but for something like an interview? I'd die!<br />

I don't even know what it is about it. It's so frustrating!<br />

You'd probably laugh if I told you that the job I'm trying to get requires talking on the phone about 99% of the time. It's different though.<span style="font-size: x-small; font-style: italic;"> (See, I sound crazy!) </span>There is a difference when it's your JOB. And, this company is awesome and has this crazy system/program that makes it way less intimidating. And what better way to face your fear than to face it head on? The fear and anxiety comes when I'm put in a vulnerable position - when I need something, am asking for something, when the other person has some "power" over me (for real, or just in my head) that all these <a href="http://socialanxietydisorder.about.com/od/copingwithsad/a/phonephobia.htm">symptoms</a> come to fruition. <br />
<br />
Mix that with the hard core jitters and nervousness that comes with looking for a job and you get my awkward voicemail today. Ugh. It was totally acceptable for me to call and get an update regarding the job. Enough time had past where I wouldn't be a stalker and she would still remember me. So I write down what I want to say - and seeing as I've always got a quick answer from her - don't worry about a quaint voicemail option. So it rings, and rings, and rings, and then voicemail. I get through my "It's me-this-is-why-I'm-calling-here's-my-number speil and instead of hanging up like a normal person I kept talking. I don't even know what about. I know I said something about how much I appreciated her and how she's been helping me but even as I type this I don't know how to convey how much more awkward it was coming from my lips. Mine you this is the company voicemail not even her personal one. Are you cringing like I am while typing this?<br />
<br />
BLERG.<br />

I just hope she finds it endearing. And not crazy.<br />
<br />
Today definitely didn't help with the fear of calling someone.<br />

<br />
Are you afraid of the phone or some other irrational things? I would love to hear I'm not alone. Or that you are just as awkward as I am. Or that I didn't just ruin all this work of getting this job. BLERG!*<br />

The Pearl District is becoming one of my favorite places. Alphabetized streets, pretty old buildings, cool bike rack art - what's not to love? And the baristas at the Starbucks on 11th & Lovejoy are always so happy I am there.<br />
<br />
Love it.<br />
<br />
A photo-sesh with my mister is a definite must.<br />

So my mom used to play the piano when she was a child, but never really pursued and then got back into it the past couple years or so. She seems to practice non stop and tonight it all paid off for her. She had her first piano recital! She was like a giddy school girl. It was good to see her so happy as these past 7 or so years have just been tough. There was about 40-45 people who came to support her. It was pretty incredible, actually.<br />
<br />
The photo's aren't the best but it was dark and I didn't want to use a flash. I've also included a couple of songs, if you're the piano listening type!<br />

Husby's birthday is always a bit tricky. It's eleven days after mine and Valentine's Day is smack in the middle of the two. I always tell him that the degree of awesome-ness of his birthday will depend on how awesome my birthday and/or Valentine's is. But really, I just want to plan any party/get together/shebang/shindig. So I am just full of empty threats.<br />

This year, after many half hearted attempts to have dinner and drinks at <a href="http://thefishandchipshop.com/">The Tardis Room</a>, I finally just planned for us and some friends to go for his birthday dinner. (I think sharing food/breaking bread is Husby's love language) It was suppose to be a surprise but about a week before the secret was let out. Oh well. 48% of all surprise parties are spoiled before they happen**.<br />
<br />
Long story short: really good food. But be ready to pay for it (money-wise and time - everything is cooked to order, hence the deliciousness). But if you go, get the onion rings. Oh man. Drooool.<br />
<br />
I love any reason for celebrating and Husby is a great reason!<br />
<br />
And now some photos! (BTW, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Fish-Chip-Shop/57138741933">Tardis Room</a> is inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who">Dr. Who</a>. If you don't know Dr. Who, and you have Netlflix, you should probably start <a href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Doctor_Who/70142441?locale=en-US">here</a>.)<br />

Even though we're not Catholic, I have decided that I am giving up <a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxhmwkqxic1qdwue1o1_500.jpg">Pinterest</a> for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent#Fasting_and_abstinence">Lent</a>. (<i>GASP</i>!) It sounds weird and shallow to me but I spend way too much time on there and nothing ever really comes to fruition.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_8IKu6OKvvo/UR7glAz3FRI/AAAAAAAACZE/7eoKlZ9n0Yo/s1600/Pinterest1-300x210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_8IKu6OKvvo/UR7glAz3FRI/AAAAAAAACZE/7eoKlZ9n0Yo/s1600/Pinterest1-300x210.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I am, however, allowing myself to look at one of my boards (<a href="http://pinterest.com/heatherthebird/2013-projects/">THIS</a> one) as it's a 2013 to-do list of sorts. The goal will be to not pin anything or waste time looking around when I already have a big list of things I want to do/make/try/etc...<br />
<br />
I haven't participated in Lent for a few years just because there hasn't been anything I felt I needed to be "giving up". A lot of people I know will forgo some food or beverage - or maybe the unthinkable, Facebook, but the way I think about Lent is that you should be using the time that would be spend doing whatever you are giving up on praying, meditating, reading the Bible, or something of that sort. Like this time is a time to give something up in order to get closer to God. (<i>Too religion-y for this blog?</i>) I don't think giving up Diet Coke or chocolate will help me get closer to God (granted, it would help my body....but...yeah.) <i>However</i>, I do think I can find ways to get back to spiritual basics' if I'm not spending hours upon hours pinning projects I'll never get to, food I'll never make, clothes I'll never afford, baby nurseries for babies I don't have... I think you get the point.<br />

<br />
<br />
I have a solid to-do list already, so why not try to knock some of those out? And a good handful are gifts and some home tips I want to implement anyway but have been too busy finding other stuff to put on the forever growing dream to-do list.<br />
<br />

<br />
So, there's my Lent story.<br />
I've already logged out (I was permanently logged in - such easy access), deleted my app (phone and on my Chrome home page), and removed my "pin in" button from my toolbar. Let's do this!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Proof. Now, what to fill the space with... Bible app?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Are you giving up anything for Lent, and if so, what?<br />

My friend Sarah came down for my birthday this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. It was full of donuts, free/discount birthday treats, brunch and $2 mimosas, thai food, baby elephants, a free trip to the zoo... what could be better? Also, Husby made me a giant ice cream cookie sandwich. I should probably go on a diet now.</div>

But I've thrown in some photos to make it look prettier : ) ]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been meaning to do this for oh...two years, but here I am doing it now! You're welcome. If you care. I still get nauseous when I think about the"average American wedding"cost. I thought we were awesome and incredibly amazing and only spent roughly $1,000 on our special day. But I went over the expenses today to really see what we spent. While it's about two times what I thought (I still don't like counting the rings as part of the "wedding"...) our whole wedding - with over 300 guests - was still under $3,000. I'd say I can still pat myself on the back!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How did we do it, you ask?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Necessity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We <strike>were</strike> are broke and in love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our parents didn't have that "wedding fund" waiting for us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We didn't want to go into debt from our wedding. <i>(Student loans are enough!)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-47RndCktaTQ/UQyKs9pMZqI/AAAAAAAACQk/HFcDGaST-IA/s1600/320037_509205896047_509717299_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-47RndCktaTQ/UQyKs9pMZqI/AAAAAAAACQk/HFcDGaST-IA/s320/320037_509205896047_509717299_n.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, <strike>we</strike> I <strike>sacrificed</strike> let go of some of my teenage wedding fantasies and did what was practical but still would make me happy. Such as getting a dress from China, making everything I could, choosing disposable tableware instead of renting, getting bulk flowers from Costco, and having a "potluck" style buffet.... can you imagine how much it would cost to feed over 300 people?!</span><br />
