Vanessa Explains It All

To Redeem Myself

To redeem myself for not blogging forever we all know my routine....I just throw at you a random list of tweets I never tweeted. Included in these is some transcribes from a few audio clips I took on my roadtrip home from Ohio. Enjoy, I know you do.

• How long has this The XX song been playing? It's awful. And too long.
• If I had just an ounce of Christina Hendricks' sex appeal I would have been married 10 years ago. That, or I would have guys lined out the door.
• 
  
  
• Got side tracked and re-found this video. I love space stuff (wow I guess not many people know that). She is so interesting in this. Totally different than in Mad Men, which means she is a great actress. It's not all about the curves people.  
    
• Eggs are so simple, yet so complex.
• 7. Number of miscellaneous pens and pencils I found on (and in) my bed.
• (this one cracks me up cos I must have had a few) Dear eyebrow hair, I tried to give you the chance to fall in, but you haven't. It's been weeks and I'm afraid I have to let you go.
• Crunchwrap Supremes are the best. Hands down.
• Let's not talk about how embarrassed I am that THREE of my top 25 songs on iTunes are Justin Beiber. What can I say? I like the dance beats? (two of them are top ten. I realize I should just not show my face in public. I'm a grown ass woman)
• 
  
  

So that should catch you up. Wow. If you are still reading than you must be a really great friend! You probably read most of it and then when I mentioned the Beiber you exed out this window real fast! Sad to see you go.

What is your current guilty pleasure?

 

 

Just Didn't Make It (part II)

Some more tweets that made the list but didn't make it to Twitter, for no reason really. You can read Part I here. There is at least a third part to this. But here ya go!

•  Love that two of my friends I met in York are from Bel Air too, so when I say "doin it Bel Air style" they get what I mean even though it means nothing. 
  
  
• Standard voicemail to my mom: Momma, I'm coming home this weekend, here are the movies we need to watch (insert list).
  
  
• What have I been dreaming about that I whack all 6 pillows off of my bed?

• I would like a red trenchcoat. Much like this one.

• Brother just called me a "noob" to music and said I need to get into the DJ scene. Uhh, no thanks.

• I am not a fan of the hug + pat. Hug + rub I prefer.
  
  
• Got home. Craft closet door was open a smige. Not normal and not cool. 
  
  
• If you need my help, I drop everything until you are helped. I'm a good friend. 
  
  
• I wish my sewing machine wasn't so heavy. I do not have Madonna arms.
  

 

What are you up to these days? Enjoying summer I hope!

(sorry that a window pops up when you come to my blog...Im not sure how to get rid of it? Any ideas??)

Just Didn't Make It

    I am on twitter (@VanessaMeryl), which is nothing new to most of you. I have a twitter rule for myself, I do not like to tweet more than 7-9 times a day, this does not include conversations or replies, this includes my straight up thoughts. Therefore I have a HUGE list on my phone of tweets that have, shall we say, "rolled over". Again, most of you know this as they are the foundation of most of my list posts. Well, I haven't posted one of these lists yet this year so I thought it was time (not to mention time that I blog at all). 

    Mind you, I am really not that interesting as of late for several reasons. Also I have found that wine brings out the best of my most random thoughts and for the last few weeks beer has been my special beverage of choice. AND the drinking usually happens late-night, sometimes when most are sleeping and I don't like to tweet when no one else is. It makes me look like a web-hog if I do. A web-hog I am not. So without further ado I bring you PART 1 of my...

Tweets That Just Didn't Make It:

• (Hi bullet points, I have missed you)

• I love when (cute) men stand with their feet shoulder width apart.

• I wish I had someone who would grill for me. Sorry creepers and George Foreman, that is not an invite. 

  

• sweet socks dude.

• Giant brand baby carrots are much less weird looking than Weis brand.

  

• Do women really (not so subtly) stick out their left hands to men to show off their empty ring finger and prove their availability? I will never do that.

• If you call me "ma'am" it will instantly make me feel old and uncomfortable. "Miss" is welcomed.

• I want to learn how to speak Mandarin cos I think it is cool. Plus wouldn't it be hilarious if I just busted out Chinese one day?

 

• (not the language) 

• For future spice reference: Beau Monde = celery salt + onion powder. Save your $6 and mix.

  

• I prefer the credits/song of a show to be very first. Not: a bit of show, then song, then show.

• I love odd numbers yet I like my TV volume at 18. Everyone has a volume number.

• Oh, Queen Latifah is in it!? DEAL BREAKER! 

• Do your arms ever get in the way while sleeping? Sometimes I wish they could detach.

That's probably 1/3 of the list, I'll save the rest for later. Please, feel free to share your thoughts or opinions on any of these random thoughts of mine. 

Thanks for visiting! I have missed you. I have been really inspired lately and plan to revamp my blog in the next week and begin posting again/more.

How have YOU been?

Tweets part 2

In addition to making notes on my phone I tend to make notes all over my apartment (especially when I am drinking). So for your entertainment I have gathered them all together and I am shamelessly going to post them all for you.  Almost like my own little Post Secret though not all of them are secret.  Here's a pic:

And here is what they say, some of them are double sided:

• Seek happy nights to happy days
• What am I afraid of? 
• "If you really like what you are doing, you will find a way to do it" -Mom 
• Love is a seasonal thing?  
•  I am a great person! Crazy and all.  Be Patient.
•  "I don't know a lot about everything but I do know a lot about the part of everything I know" - Elizabethtown 
•   Just cos I'm not in a relationship doesn't mean I am alone
• If I ever find out that while I am on hold the person on the other line is having a dance party I will be mad I wasn't invited 
•   I should not wear shorts at my craft desk...I stick! OUCH!
• Be nicer to mom 
• Sometimes when texting I really lightly hit "send" as if to leave it to fate 
• I just told Facebook to "hurry up! I have things to do!" Do I REALLY have things to do if I am on Facebook?? 
• Surrounded by crafty stuff and all I want to do is mess things up like a preschooler 
• Dear sky blue Vespa owner, be my friend, or don't be mad at me when I steal it 

Well that's all I have for now. Happy Monday!

What do your little scattered pieces of paper say? 

Speaking of Tweets

I keep a random list of thoughts on my phone in case I ever run out of anything to say on twitter.  HAHA  I am the lamest.  So I thought I would share that list with you cos its getting long, and some of them I'm not sure what they mean anymore or aren't under 120 characters.  So here is what's on my phone..a list called "Tweets"

• Weis brand baby carrots are a little special.  Special meaning - half of them ride the short bus
• If you have an iPhone I expect you to respond to my texts in 5 minutes or less.  Completely unreasonable of me I know. 
• How we gonna warm when you are stealing our logs? Who you gonna love when all the liquor is gone gone gone 
• I love the piano 
• I have such a soft spot for Kingsfoil 
• Does anyone read Shakespeare after highschool? 
• Soup won't be computerized
• Roadtrip theme = musicals! 
• Lately I have been leaving apples everywhere 
• Jen says I'm not crazy, I'm kitchy.  Whatever that means 
• 50 cents for 12 hot dog buns means some of them are going to be toast. Literally. Drunk toast
• Twitter is for the times I would say it out loud but no one is around 
• I seriously think Alton Brown is sexy 
• Is it lame that I make notes on my phone about tweets so I dont do it so often? 
• Sia - 'Breathe' always makes me cry 
• I would love to make a glass that looks like a regular gladd on the outside but is really a wine glass on the inside.  

  Let's call that part one....I have more handwritten ones for tomorrow.  What fun!

What's your random thought of the day?

Hey Tweetie!

I've had this idea in my head for a while, my tweets are perfect mini formulas to create something!  And then The Dares posted  a challenge that was just that.  SO here is what I made, and I hate to admit it, but this is only the second mini I have finished and made just for myself! And if you don't follow me on twitter you should! @VanessaMeryl

I also submitted this for the AC design team call : )

Have you made any minis lately?
