Spring Break Celebration

Yesterday I got off work at a ridiculously early hour (11:00 AM).  Not wanting to spend my first day of Spring Break hanging around the house and potentially doing homework, I gave Bailey a call.  We quickly decided celebrating Spring Break was in order and we headed to Billy's on Burnet for Blue Moons and delicious veggie burgers.  Afterwards, we went to Urban Outfitters to check out the clearance situation (disappointed).  Bailey got a sweet dreamcatcher keychain.  And, we ran into Lou.  He's so skinny!  Also, he's going to the Perez Hilton SXSW party, so we got jealous and headed up out of there.  Next stop, Goodwill for craft projects!  Two creepers made comments about our conversation at two separate times (creeped out).  We picked up a few frames and made our purchases.  Before heading home, we stopped by Dragon's Lair where my betrothed was about to battle mythical creatures as an ale drinking dwarf.  I met his co-worker Kenneth for the first time!  He seems like a swell guy.  The big tip off on him being neat was his use of a leg lamp ornament (think Christmas Story) as his character representation in the game.  After saying our hellos to everyone (including Allan and the Compton brothers), we headed out before the game got started.  When we got back to the house, the crafting began and didn't stop until we had wonderful end products!  Bailey cut out a bunch of letters in a cool font and put them on top of a pretty fabric and framed it.  It said, "Home is wherever I'm with you."  So cute!  I loved it (so much, that I may steal the idea with a different phrase or lyric I haven't decided on yet).  My craft was a couple of portraits of Josh and I painted on the glass of the frames I bought.  Originally, I was going to try and be increasingly artsy with shading and realistic methods.  It didn't take long for me to determine painting on glass is pretty difficult.  So, I went simple.  All the while, as we were crafting, we listened (and sang) to the Bright Eyes albums Fevers and Mirrors and Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground.  What a wonderful day/evening!
