We’re expecting a Winter Storm tomorrow and when I was a kid, this would totally have been me. Now I’m more like, “Meh – I just hope that it’s not too terrible to drive in and that it starts way before we get to work so I don’t have to deal with people freaking out over their drive home all day.”

Reminds me of when we were little and we’d be sitting with dad watching TV. We’d all be really quiet and focused on the screen when suddenly he’d go “BANG! – Jeez! I blew up.”

Actually, I eat junk food because it’s tasty and I’m lazy.

I had this fab idea today: I’d buy a red tshirt and iron on the Wonder Woman logo on the front of it and wear that, along with dark blue jeans and red boots for a work appropriate Halloween costume. Brilliant!
I spent about an hour when I got home searching for a high res Wonder Woman logo and cutting it out in Pixelmator so that I had just the logo and no background. Then I went to Target and tried on every red tshirt I could find until I settled on one from the clearance rack (score!). Then I found big gold bangles to represent her wrist cuffs and a gold headband to stand in for her tiara (all of which were also on clearance (double score!)). I also was able to buy iron on paper at Target, but unfortunately, they only had iron on paper for light colored shirts. I bought it anyway, figuring that it couldn’t make that big of a difference.
I got home and printed out the logo I’d worked on earlier on plain paper first to test the color (needed to be brightened to stand up to the red shirt) and then printed it out on the iron on transfer paper. I very carefully cut the design out of the paper and the set up a workspace as dictated by the directions: no ironing boards, the tshirt laid out on a pillowcase on a hard flat surface at waist height. I lined up the logo on the top center of the tshirt and then thouroghly ironed it on. When the shirt was cooled down, I peeled off the backing.
The design stuck well on the tshirt, but since I could only find the transfer paper for light shirts and I was working with a red shirt, it didn’t look right. It looks vert faded, like I’ve had the shirt for years. I still like it, but I don’t know if it makes sense as a halloween costume now, since it’s not dramatic looking and looks like a regular tshirt. I don’t think that I’ll be able to find the dark tshirt iron-on paper anywhere around here before Friday and I’m pretty sure I have the last red shirt from the clearance rack, so I probably won’t be able to do it over and I’ll probably just wear it on friday anyway. Why not?
Also, creating my own custom shirt with an iron-on was hella easy and fun.

I want these for every day wear. I know they’re costume boots, but I think they’re awesome. Also, I’m a freaking super hero. I feel like I’m savin’ the day every day. These would be my work boots.

I must be really over-tired. I was on retailmenot.com looking for a coupon for Best Buy (where I’m planning on getting Alex’s Birthday Gift) when I saw this post mixed in among all of the normal coupon links. I literally laughed so hard that I cried. Hiccups and all.
