Valentine's Day is Coming up!

As you all know, Valentine's Day is only 39 days away from today. That is a very short amount of time to accomplish all that I want to do. This year, I want to decorate my living room for Valentine's Day. I am not incredibly sure how to do that since I am not much for new items so I am going to have to use all vintage things. I was thinking about making more of this little paper candy holder things that are Swedish I believe. I learned how to make them at a Valentine's Day Night on the Town in Loveland a few years back. They are fairly simple but are very cute. Along with those, I may hang some of my vintage Valentine's Day cards with some clips on string about my fireplace on the mantel. That would bring some character to the room.

Not only does the decorations at my house excite me, but the city decorations are quite amazing. Every year, men and women buy their loved ones wooden hearts that are painted and personalized and displayed around town. Above is a picture of just some of the hearts displayed on 4th Street in Downtown (picture taken from Google images). However, as dangerous as this may be because I stare at them while driving, they are still one of the cutest things you can do for your loved one during this time of year. I believe they are like $60 to have made. You get to keep them when it is over so it is something I believe is worth the money. I have always wanted someone to get me one of those. Hope every one's day is wonderful.

Wyatt's First Tattoo

Wyatt got his very first tattoo on Wednesday at 2 pm. This is the outline of the tattoo that he got right after it was just finished. The idea behind the tattoo was that it was for his dad that passed away. Since Wyatt and his dad were both into Native American stuff he had the skull with the Indian headdress on. The bottom of the headdress has a dream catcher with snakes weaving in and out of it because he likes dream catchers and his biggest fear is snakes. Also, his dad used to have a nickname of snake because of the big rig that he used to drive when he was younger. Inside the mouth of the skull is the Gears of War omen. This drawing is loosely based on the one I drew up for Wyatt to incorporate all the ideas he had for tattoos he wanted.

Since the outline was done, let the shading begin! This is a picture of Wyatt watching carefully as Eve starts the shading process of the skull.

After the skull was shaded, the worst part was yet to come: the shading of the feathers. Apparently, that part of the shoulder hurt the most to get a tattoo on because it send pains and weird feelings all down the collar bone.

This is the finished work on Wyatt's arm. It took a total of 4 1/2 hours to complete with pretty much no breaks. It looks pretty good; I think Eve did a good job.

And People wonder why I'm stressed

Here are some of the stupid ass things that happened during my seven hour work shift today. It is remarkable how many people decide that the movie theatre is where they shall let the stupid flow from their mouthes. These are in order from when they happen during the day.

• There was a major bitch on the phone that was complaining that we don't have a marquee for our theatre which we don't even begin to have space to have.


• There was a man with a bunch of kids that got the amount of children he had wrong so he got mad at me because he didn't have enough tickets.


• A couple came in with their kids but they only told me they had 3 so they bitched at me because I charged them for 3 instead of 4.


• Lady found the wrong time online and assumed it was our fault.


• Lady made her child pay for their own ticket and they only paid for one ticket. However, they were supposed to pay for two so we had to do two transactions for one kid.


• A man could barely speak English and was getting frustrated with me because I couldn't understand how old his kid was so I didn't know if they got in free or not.


• A family stood in the lobby, holding their tickets, and asked where their movie was. Just and FYI, the ticket stubs don't have the nutritional information for gummy bears, they tell you what theatre you go to.


• A small child came up to us and told us that he found a hat in the theatre. He handed us a wallet.


• Lady swiped her Stubs card and then decided to walk away without paying for her tickets which I had to stop her so that she could pay.


• Another lady came in to bitch about the wrong times being online.


• A lady asked if you have to wear glasses in the 3D movie.


• Family assumed that since it is a new year, the Stubs has expired.


• Old lady came in earlier in the day and said she bought a ticket a while ago for the showing but was there at the wrong time. Then she came back later and showed me a gift card receipt and thought that was her ticket. I just let her go in.


• A little girl paid a quarter towards the tickets while her mom paid the rest of the $14.00


• Girl ordered a large icee, then changed it to a small which was only 50 cents less, which she didn't have enough for so she changed it to a small water which was $3.50 and she only had $3.00. She didn't get anything and then she came back with $8.00 and got Skittles, and M&Ms.


• A family ordered two kids packs and then ordered a #1. They then changed their mind and wanted a #2 instead of a #1. Then, changed it back to #1.


• Another family that assumed the Stubs was expired because of the new year.


• There was a lady making hand motions at Kathrine from the middle of the lobby. She then came over to the concession stand and yelled at Kathrine because she didn't give her a carrying try which she was apparently signaling for.


• Kathrine asked if an old lady had a Stubs card. Then the lady asked why she asked her what her name is which she never did.


• Lady smacked her child in the head with the 3D glasses when she grabbed them off the counter.


• Family insulted the mother of the family while she was out in the car looking for the Stubs card.


• A man and two kids walked into the theatre and I asked them what I could get for them and they asked if this is where you buy tickets. Um no that is a block south. DUH! Of course this is where you buy tickets. Then he went over to the concession stand and realized he forgot his wallet in his car.


• Lady brought in tickets from a previous trip to the theatre where she forgot her Stubs card. I wrote down her card number and how much the tickets were worth and then she asked if I wanted the tickets. Did you not just see me write them down???!!


• A guy gave me a strange look when I told him the tickets were $7.oo for the 3D movie. Then I told him that it was in 3D and he got it. Then he asked what time it is when there was three clocks right in front of his face.


• Old ladies were sad that I didn't ID them for a rated R movie.


• A lady called and Blake had to explain the entire website to her. She then asked how to spell 'cinema' and insisted that there were two 'n's in it.


• Someone asked when the evening shows start and I said 6. Then they asked if the 6:30 was still a matinee.


• Lady said she was going to buy a Stubs card. She asked us to explain it to her and we did then she walked away and left.


• Lady asked if the AMC cards from King Soopers are good here. I said yes and then she asked if all AMC cards are good here. Nah why? Only the ones with the gold star are; not! People are so damn stupid.


• Two separate groups of people asked if Happy Feet 2 in 2D was in theatre 4 when it clearly read, "Happy Feet 2 2D" on the sign.


• When people get mad because are concession prices are so much. Yet they don't realize we are a business and have to pay bills as well. Plus, we only make 10 cents on each ticket.


• A man asked if the prices were going down when he was at a matinee showing and normally goes to evening shows.


• The community service officer came in and asked if we have seen an elderly man that has dimentia and has escaped from the home.


• Two staff members and a manager decided to leave the stand and go in the back room just to hide from an old man that talks a lot. That left me to sell tickets all by myself while she was bsing in the back room. And the usher was in the back and a MANAGER! Plus, the most aggervating part of it is that I got in trouble from that manager that was in the back because I went in the office when I saw a guy that yelled at me at a previous time. I believe it is completely ridiculous that she did that. Very unprofessional.

New Year's Eve Rocky Horror Picture Show

The picture above is of me and my boyfriend Wyatt. I was dressed up at Magenta going through a mid- life crisis and wants to be Frank- N- Furter. Wyatt was dressed up as Meatloaf's character, Eddie.

This is a picture of me making my pouting face.

This is Kathrine in her vintage veil, corset, red gloves, and leotard.

Wyatt in his leather jacket, white scarf, jeans, and boots.

The first night was pretty full with around half of the theatre full but the second night, New Year's Eve had a whopping ten people total including me.

The Christmas Season has come and passed

The Christmas Season is something you can't reproduce. The feeling is just in the air and everyone knows it. However, this year, it just simply wasn't there. I was not the only person to feel this way. However, this is quite a let down for me because I tried very hard to make it feel the way it is supposed to. The picture below is of one of the hallways at my school. The lights were hanging from the ceiling. In the main hall, there was red and green paper over the lights and had color lights hanging from the ceiling as well. It was amazing if you ask me! Since my dad was going to Texas for this year's Christmas, my dad's side of the family had to do Christmas at an earlier date. We chose to do Christmas on the 18th of December. I brought the family chicken noodles to the event; of which the noodles were handmade by me and my boyfriend, Wyatt. Since there was a lot of leftover dough for the noodles that wouldn't cut into noodles, rather than eating it raw I decided to make fun shapes like Christmas trees. I only made a few of them but they brought some festiveness to the noodles.Since my dad was going to be in Texas for Christmas, I was at my mom's house for the entire time. I have never been at my mom's house for the entire Christmas. It was a bit strange but far less stressful that it usually is. Below is a picture of the Christmas tree we decorated at my mom's house. Ron, my step dad, won't allow us to have fake trees so this is a real tree which made the house smell wonderful.
Even though the main tree at my mom's isn't a fake tree, Wyatt and I have four fake Christmas trees. The 6' green tree was my first tree and next came the 4' green tree. After I got those, I got the miniature tinsel tree which is like 2'. The best tree, however, is the 6' vintage aluminum tree that Wyatt and I got together. They all look magnificent together with the vintage ornaments on them.
Along with vintage trees and ornaments, we have a large collection of vintage Santas. I have gotten a pretty good deals on the Santas but they are worth quite a bit more. In the decorations we used for Christmas, we also used things that were already in the room. For instance, we used the green glasses and some of the pictures already located on the mantel in our design. However, we added some Santas, and interesting Christmas plush items along with it. We also have an advent calendar located on the fireplace.Here are some if the presents that I got from my mom's side of the family. I got some more vintage little knee-hugging elves, ribbon, the movie Amelie, the movie Suckerpunch, noodle cutters, and a soldering torch.

Here is a different view of the presents however this one shows the antique photo album that I got from my grandma that has pictures of relatives in it.Here is a picture of the presents I received from my best friend, Emily, and my boyfriend, Wyatt. I got the Betseyville purse with the Ariel bubble bath from Emily and the Volbeat CD, skull duct tape, and Misfits lanyard from Wyatt. I really enjoyed all of these presents.
These pictures are of the presents that I got from my dad's side of the family. I got the 'KASS' cards made from the architectural finds. I also got some drill bits, an elf tree topper, scary family picture in a gorgeous frame, a soldering torch, a $25 visa gift card, and some vintage lace cardigan type things.

This view also show the Peeps, corn salt n' pepper shakers, and a purse I got for Christmas.

So, yesterday I hung out with my amazing boyfriend, Wyatt Robert Lintz! We ended up going to the flea markets in hopes of finding small items to put in each other's advent calendars. Well, we did just that! However, when we got back to my place, after we put away all the items in their proper area, we sat down on the couch to watch some Nightmare Before Christmas. While sitting there, he said that he wanted to give me something that was supposed to be in my advent calendar but wasn't. I had no idea what he was referring to so I just kept asking what it is. We eventually got on this tangent that he bought a small little gun and was going to kill me. However, when he told me to turn around, he wrapped his arms around me, and placed a gorgeous ring on my left hand. I kissed him so much with delight! He said that this ring is just a pre- engagement ring but I believe it is more beautiful than any other engagement ring.

I hope that everyone is having a fabulous day!
