I guess I'll start off with "The Secret of the Week" from Postsecret
I like this one because it's scandalous. Very scandalous. LOL!
So, tomorrow night is the big night. The line up has changed a bit, but now at least we will all be able to comfortable fit into a mini van. It will be Me, Erin, Sarah C., Amanda, Laura, Heather and Sarah F. It should be a good time. I'm really looking forward to it.
Tanae and her son Shae came over and hung out with me yesterday. She wanted to take a pregnancy test because she was a week late. I had a split second of thinking I might have been too a few weeks ago. So for fun I took one with her. We're big dorks like that. Big not pregnant dorks. Then we loaded up the kids for a trip to the Goodwill. We were going to get some girl outfits to dress the boys in and take pictures of them. Luckily for them, the store was closed. Too bad. That would have been so fucking funny. LOL! Here's some pics I took of the kids and Tanae. Shae is so adorable. I just love him and his little chunkin cheeks.
I finished two of my shirt projects last night. One was a shirt for Dan's fantasy football team the "Albanian Stallions". The other was a shirt for Erin's birthday. The one for Dan turned out okay. The one for Erin was another story. I just don't think the image translated into a stencil as well as I wanted it to. Then, on top of that, my dumb ass forgot to put something in the middle of the shirt and the paint bled through to the back. I'm going to fix it with black paint, but I'm sure it looks ghetto. I'm really ticked about it too. That stencil took me forever to carve out. I didn't look at the time or anything, but I'm sure it was the hardest one I've done so far. I'm sure I could make it look good when I do it again, which I plan to. Erin can wear the botched one to bed or something. Here's some pics of my handy work.

The back of Dan's new shirt:
Here's the image I wanted on Erin's shirt. For obvious reasons I simplified it:
Here's how it turned out:
Here's the yucky back mess I have to cover with black paint:
Oh well, I'll try it again. I know I'll do better next time. Or at least I won't forget to put something in the middle. I might try to just do the image more true to form. It was hard though, because once I blew the picture up to be big enough for the shirt, it looked really digitalized and became a hard pattern to carve out. The only way for that not to happen would be to make a smaller stencil. I might do that. We'll see.
Well, that's all for now. I have a butt load of homework to do for tomorrow. I gotta go.

haha i love the postsecret. that was a good laugh.
Damn, she beat me. :) Stupid homework I worked on it for like 2 minutes and she beat me! Oh well.
So is Tanae pregnant?
The shirt looks pretty. If the black paint covers the back, it might look fine to wear in public. Thank you! You could have done something simple.
Heather's not going now? And you want me to get good liquor for the jello shots, right? Who goes to the liquor store at like noon on a Monday? LOL
See you in a bit
That was a good postcard.
You do what you want Erin. You are doing enough already. I really appreciate that you go out of your way for me all the time.
Heather's still going. Did I not put her on the list? Oops!
No neither one of us is pregnant. Guess I should have said that too huh? LOL!
There, I edited it for you. :)
