Hypercaffeinated thoughts

Well, it was time for our daily trip to Starbucks and I decided that instead of an iced coffee I would get an Iced Americano with an extra shot. Four shots of espresso later, I feel like I can barely contain my blood within my veins. So what better time that now to ramble for a little bit? Certainly, there is much work to be done, but the crayon rings are packed and I shouldn't be let near a sewing machine in this state.

Timsters and I were in NYC last weekend, and it was overwhelming. Even being in Boston can be overwhelming these days. We had a vision of our future and it's most likely set in a remote part of Maine. New Hampshire turned us into country people.

I was thinking about how Tim, and all of the people who I met/saw this weekend are makers (like vampire Bill in True Blood, am I right???) and they just assume that everyone else makes something too, when in reality, most normal people don't make anything. Makers have always impressed me. Like when I first met Sameen and she had a purse that she crocheted herself. I mean, thats impressive. Point being, I've never been a maker, and now Tim's kinda got me into the mindset that basically anything you see, you can make yourself. It's a slippery slope (see: Tim deciding he could rebuild a whole van in two months).

I made a 15 minute quilted iPad case last night and although yes, I will probably be making a more polished one, this one serves the purpose quite well. It's weird for me to think that I can make things on the sewing machine now.

And yes, I bought an iPad. And yes, it's just like a giant iPhone that can't make calls. And yes, it's awesome. Unfortunately, one of its main functions is to help facilitate studying for the patent bar. Booooo-urns.

Can you believe LOST is ending? We've been together since 2004, doesn't that MEAN anything to you, LOST?? Also, upsetting that characters keep dying at an alarming rate.

Okay, Mr Madman Timmy needs van help so I gotta laser outta here PEWWWWWWWW
