Have a good day and even if it is sucking I hope you're able to find something amusing about it:)<br />

This is a total girl-post, so dudes, feel free to pass on this...do dudes even use Blogger? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't see why they wouldn't?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean it's not called Bloggirlie, Bloggerette, or Bloggina (yes, I just typed that).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry. I'm dehydrated. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some fun things I've collected lately...because I totally NEED more junk right?...Oh...crap... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait....I don't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It doesn't stop me from collecting dolls, anthropomorphic dishware or dresses with Zombie Unicorns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What can I say? I'm a Barbie world, living in a Barbie girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait...that's not right. Plus, I have no idea what that even means. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate Barbie.</div>

First up, a very non-Barbie like doll...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a cool Coraline Doll by Neca.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite stories/films ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I am just a couple of these shy of completing my Coraline bendy figure collection...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and taking over the world with them.</div>

Coraline messenger bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really dislike fussy purses, clutches, basically any bag without a shoulder strap; Especially on tour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who want's to carry that thing around? I NEED MY HANDS TO ROCK...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to shovel Cinnamon Toast Crunch or various other sugar-coated cereal into my mouth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I basically can't think of anything better than a messenger bag with freaking Coraline on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(In case you didn't catch on, I'm a tiny bit obsessed with the whole Coraline deal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean, this was my Halloween costume: </div>

It has absolutely gorgeous photography which Is why I love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I try and pick them up whenever I can find them for inspiration but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this bad baby only comes out twice a year and past issues cost as much as $100+ on EvilBay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's nuts <i>and</i> super ridiculous...not to mention stupid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean...it's a magazine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I found this super cheap on Amazon (only to find</div>

"Yes, I like that dress, but she should have let out the hem because <i>she</i> does <i>not </i>have skinny knees".<br />

But apparently there's lots of things that can be wrong on your body. </span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></b></i><br />
Now call me loony, naive or just plain dumb, but I didn't even know 'skinny knees' or 'fat knees' were something you were even <i>supposed</i> to consider when getting dressed in the morning.<br />
To me, you either have knees or you don't have knees and either way, they really needn't be bothered about. They're knees.<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The comment left me feeling very sympathetic towards the girls making the comment (sad creatures) as well as, obviously, feeling sympathetic for the girl who,<br />
Apparently, needed to do some knee crunches STAT...Unless she wanted to be known as Fat-Knee'd Nancy and talked about behind her back.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now maybe I've never heard this insult because I have knobby 8 year old little boy's knees...So an insult for <i>my</i> knee's would go more like this: "Yeah, great dress but somebody PLEASE get a knife out and shave down some of that bone in her knee's or else put a longer skirt on her".<br />
<br />
Or maybe it's just that, like Cady, I didn't go to public schools growing so I was a bit protected from hearing weird and obscure physical feature judgements like "she has fat knees", "her elbows are too pointy", "her butt is lopsided", "her face is on backwards".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ok maybe that last one is an exaggeration, but to me, saying a girl needs to lengthen her hem because her knees aren't 'skinny' sounds just as ridiculous as "Her face is on backwards".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I grew up out of the public schooling system, yes, <i>but</i> it doesn't mean I'm wholly ignorant of insults.<br />
I've been touring since my early teens so I've definitely seen and heard my own slew of judgements from the attention my family and I have garnered with our band Eisley <i>and</i> there's a very special set hoarded all for me as the wife of one of indie-punk's Darling's. I get crap thrown at me a lot, but<br />
I also get emails and messages every week from young girls and women wanting to know any secrets or tips or magical cures for feeling insecure, dealing with bullies and just being made fun of, period...<br />
I always have the same advice and that's just to remember that what they think is absolutely trivial.<br />
It's ludicrous, ridiculous, meaningless, heartless and bodaciously bonkers.<br />
<br />
When you let the total and absolute truth that it stems from the fact that people are broken and hurting so much so that they literally NEED to put others down to make themselves feel less-insecure about who they are then you will, in turn, begin to hurt for them and not over the fact that they said you're a<br />
"smelly, dirty, tit-less b*tch" (oh yeah, that's a real quote).<br />
I mean that crap's nuts!<br />
So don't take it to heart, because you really shouldn't. Because it's empty, it's bollocks and it's lies<br />
(Ok, maybe not the tit-less part, we can't all be a Kardashian right?).<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Girls (guys too but I'm feeling girl specific here as I've seen a lot of girl-on-girl insulting lately)...<br />
We seriously need to have grace and stop judging <i>other </i>girls, embrace the things that are unique in each other and see them as the things that make us all beautiful in our own way. I'm guilty of it too! But the truth is there is plenty of room for everyone to be exactly who they are and no one should have to fear being themselves or apologize for it. You want to wear purple from head to toe one day? Freaking go ahead! Um...is there the chance that you will be made fun of? Yep. You know what?...<br />
They can deal with it.<br />
<br />
They go home at the end of the day and they're the shallow-ass person who spewed their darkness into the world by making fun of someone who was being an individual (and were threatened by that)...<br />
and you're the person who let your {insert your name here} light shine and in turn, is making the world <i>that</i> much more interesting for the rest of us. So thank you.<br />
<br />
To the bullies...I hope that someone in your life encourages you to be yourself and tell you that it's<br />
ok and cutting down others doesn't lift you up...it slams you down into emptiness.<br />
Don't get caught up in it. Just don't.<br />

Well it's Monday again...I had a busy fun past few weeks! Here's some photos from it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not last weekend but the one before that, we all got to go to Dallas to see my brother (in law) Darren play drums in his band MUTE MATH. They've really gone to a whole new level with their production!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the show started it literally felt like you had stepped into a theme park ride.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was SO much fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I strongly urge you to not miss a show on this tour if they come to your area...There is a lot of it left so get on that! <a href="http://mutemath.com/tour">http://mutemath.com/tour</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Afterwards </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to explain to their singer Paul how much I loved their new song "Prytania" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
andended up telling him that is made me want to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Do somersault's all over the room" or "Punch a gorilla".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which I will stand by as being very accurate descriptions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this past week my sister Christie's boyfriend Reed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
came down to visit from Tampa. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He also plays drums (huh, my sisters have a thing for drummers). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's pretty much one of the coolest people on earth, so it's always good to see him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm super excited that we get to take both his band TallHart (formerly Marksmen) and Christie out on our Spring tour again since the first run with them was so short. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a huge fan of all of the music..plus Christie and Reed (or as we call them "Creed") are all cutesy and in love so it's fun to point at them and sing "Christie and Reed sitting in a tree..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...Maybe Eisley should cover it on this upcoming tour.</div>

After my neighbors moved this week and accidentally stole my <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/">ModCloth</a> dresses that I ordered,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I re-ordered and finally got this cool dress in the mail...It's just about the most comfy creation ever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I'm <i>all</i> about comfort over fashion and if I can knock out both in one shot, I'm pretty psyched)</div>

Since all of Say Anything was camped out at our house doing rehearsals this past week, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mr. Ryan Russell came down to do some photos for them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ryan is a renown photographer in the music scene. If there is a favorite photo you have of one of your favorite bands...Ryan probably took it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's a sweetheart <i>and</i> super talented. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He took this popular photo of my husband Max (before I....*ehem*...<i>gently </i>mentioned to Max one day before we were dating that I couldn't date a smoker as I was super allergic to the smoke and I just find it unappealing, being that it's so unhealthy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Max quit smoking that same week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which is a real credit to his character.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well..<i>.</i>that <i>and</i> proof how much he wanted the girl. hehe). </div>

Some guy left a comment for me saying </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"This is a really bad trick. Do something ACTUALLY cool next time and don't use the bed for support".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well...I think it's actually kind of a <i>good</i> trick considering if I tried to do this <i>without</i> the bed for support</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd be dead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because there's no way my puny white girl arms would be able to support my southern ass which would result in my neck cracking in half like a tree branch.</div>

Ahwell...some people are just impossible to impress.</div>

Well Hello!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I know......</div>
<div class="p1">
I've been so bad about blogging since Twitter came along (look...you know you have too). </div>
<div class="p1">
I love Twitter but it's made it so easy for us to be lazy when it comes to some good old fashioned</div>
<div class="p1">
lengthy, blatherin'-bloggin'!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It's also been partly due to the fact that we really need to re-vamp the <a href="http://www.eisley.com/"><span class="s1">http://www.Eisley.com</span></a> </div>
<div class="p1">
journals section, which, (you might be happy to hear) is currently in the process of being done! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It's being made into a beehive as I type.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In the mean time I've decided to dust off this old Blogspot of mine...(and it only took me two full</div>
<div class="p1">
hours of wracking my brain, entering passwords, emails, signing away my soul <i>and </i></div>
<div class="p1">
feeding drops of my blood as sacrifice into the laptop to remember and regain my old login information).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I'm currently curled up in bed with a husband and two dogs watching Aliens </div>
<div class="p1">
(despite it being the wee hours of the morning). </div>
<div class="p1">
My husbands band (Say Anything) has flown in this week to rehearse songs for their upcoming</div>
<div class="p1">
tour and they're all staying at our house so that's two guest bedrooms split between 5 guys. </div>
<div class="p1">
The lucky ones get beds while the others are floating around on air mattresses, </div>
<div class="p1">
a couch or tucked in a crevice of the guest room's walk in closet! </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It's actually quite a lot of fun :)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
I got to listen to them play music all day while I printed orders from my shop*! </div>
<div class="p2">
ALSO...I ate eat grilled salmon salad and crème brûlée for dinner so that all makes for a pretty great Sunday if you ask me. </div>
<div class="p2">
I hope yours was Brûlée'tastic too.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">

*<a href="http://www.sherrisink.com/">http://www.sherrisink.com</a>: A note for you If you've ordered from me this past week: </div>
<div class="p1">
I am running behind on last weeks orders due to the fact that Max and I were having the electrical completely re-done in our 1930's home (yay! no more fire hazard house!), So I was unable to make prints. I <i>was</i> able to catch up creating prints today, but drained my ink cartridges towards the end and discovered that my refills (refurbished ink cartridges, go figure) were completely faulty. </div>
<div class="p1">
I've ordered brand-spanking-new ones that will arrive Tuesday so I'll be able to print all yer damn postage and ship your orders out by Wednesday! I'm sorry for the inconvenience:) </div>
