This is my second time trying to write about today's adventures. The first time the computer froze and I had to reboot. I hate it when that happens..

Anyway, As I was saying we had a wonderful day- we went to several office supply stores to find a desk for Fred to work at home with. He can't always get in our little office room because I am usually in here and the music room has lots of space. So we found one with a modern look- silver and frosted glass for the beach feel- there were some that were just way too dark, and we both agreed on this so, having finished our mission we went across the street to our newly renovated mall. It looks great- a new food court and AMC 12 Theater. We had time to kill before the movie so we walked around to Hot Topic where I fell in love with some Cupcake Cult items...skimmers...with skulls in the cupcakes...                                                                                                          death by cupcake!

Ahhh yes, I am in the Cupcake Mafia. Would you like to join? Death bu sugah...not funny when you are diabetic (like my Grandma and Aunt) but hey, pick yer poison. We all must die from something...Anyway, then we went to the Disney store and I found some beautiful wooden blocks on clearance for 9.99. I will be spelling out Calamity Kim's Cupcake Mafia...and then we wandered over to Hallmarks where I saw some new Jim Shore stuff- gotta love things decorated with quilt patterns...the Gnome was without a doubt a huge OMG moment! but then I saw the price and he won't be coming home to my garden at $80. anytime soon, but here's a picture anyway. a girl's gotta dream....He is 19.5" tall and made of resin...

I would be afraid he would get broken...I'd cry. He is gorgeous though. I wonder why Disney hasn't latched on to the Gnome thing yet? Maybe they can't get the rights to them? Dunno...but I am working on a gnome softie and will put a free PDF up on the blog soon. It will be part of my 6 month Blogathon Anniversary Celebration Extravaganza of Calamity Kimness!!!...there will be cupcakes. There will be prizes and games and a special drawing...soon. Anyway, we went to see the Last Mimsy and I have a kind, soft feeling in my heart. It was sweet and sincere and had a definite message for all of us human beans not to lose our compassion or humanity...it wove in a bit of Alice and the Rabbit lore which I was grateful for and the kids in it are too cute. Rainn from The Office was in it also and he was great as a hippy science teacher. Michael Clark Duncan is in it too (reminding me of Lilo & Stitch) and  all in all it was very entertaining.  Fred is so kind to take me by the hand and do fun stuff- when the ticket girl asked if the tickets were adults, I said "we try" and he chuckled at me...did she think we had some children stashed behind us and we were dropping them off? Or did she think we were seniors? I know my hair is going gray, but really, sweetie, I am only 46! Hahaha...anyway..we had a lovely day and he is putting his desk together while Steve Winwood plays softly in the background...love that...

I guess I feel serene. It had a nice message, that movie and the everyday stress has been undone....tomorrow I am hoping to finish that !@#$%^&* art apron...I sewed yoyo's and buttons and did some embroidery last night while we watched 6 Degrees, which I am so glad wasn't canceled. I am adding some more flowers and gnomes and mushrooms and I will try to list it Sunday or Monday. I will let you know tomorrow. I need to finish it and clean the table in the sewing room- again, that craft bomb just exploded everywhere  when I was in the heat of the moment- trying this fabric and that- throwing it around- I am a mess! Crafty Chaos...anyway...hope all you peeps are having a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
