never be anything but loud
Fourth of July Banner
See that cute and festive little thing up there? I made that! And while it was super easy to do, I am still proud of myself because I have been amazingly crafty and productive lately and little things like that make me realize that I can be crafty without it taking up a lot of time. (This was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest – I guess it’s easy to make things once the actual inspiration is there).
This is a really easy project that you can whip together in a few hours.
Housewarming Gift Idea
On Sunday, we had to attend a housewarming party for two guy friends who had bought a house together as roommates. I racked my brain about gift ideas for them – they don’t drink wine and I didn’t want to buy them a gift card (I hate giving gift cards – not only because they indicate a lack of personal interest but also because it just doesn’t sit right with me that a person knows exactly how much I spent on them).
Regardless, I wasn’t sure what to do so I took to the Internet and thanks to some lovely inspiration that I’m now not sure where I stumbled upon it, I came up with this.
Yummy!
I like men. I like them rugged and strong and confident and slightly bad ass.
I also like them shirtless.
Here are some of my current favorite shirtless men:

Joe Manganiello (Alcide Herveaux – True Blood) — oh my heaven! Werewolves do run hot! Also, he’s just got that rugged lumberjack look.
Journal Day: Firsties!
I saw this over at Life in Beta and Sometimes Sweet and figured I’d join because I always need a kick in the pants for writing inspiration. Danielle from Sometimes Sweet has started a weekly project called Journal Day. Basically, she will be posting a weekly writing prompt to help us get our creative juices flowing.
Here’s this week’s:
Describe a “first” (first date, first lie, the first time you experienced something, first time in a particular setting, etc). Include as many details as possible to paint a picture.
