I'm going to try
really hard to keep up the Beeks Place blog again! I miss blogging on a regular basis, plus I have all these stories from work that I have to talk about to
SOMEBODY! And, of course, I'm going to turn my short little summer break into a Chicago adventure--so I'll have to chronicle that too!
So let's see...what's happened since Christmas?

Holidays, Treats, Beeks
Part 2 of Becky's Chicago Adventure will have to wait (if anyone's actually interested in reading it, that is...). But I thought I would post this holiday treat for everyone! Matthew and I made this late last night. At one point, I didn't know if I'd be able to finish making it because I discovered a centipede/cockroach/alien bug crawling on the wall, and I got a bad case of the heeeeebie jeeeeeebies! I regained my composure though, and we were able to churn out this lovely masterpiece, complete with Fireflower/Link roof and Mario, Toad, Mega Man, and SMB3 leaf gingerbreads! Enjoy!

Somebody left this receipt on the counter at work today! I was going to throw it away, but then I noticed the purchases!!! Solid!!
I like how at the end they decide to switch it up and get EGGS!

Today is Flag Day! Today is also nearly one month after I last posted, which is just not right, because the posts should be
flowing! Perhaps it is all the Pokemon and painting attempts that have been keeping me too busy! Here are some other things that have happened:
- I botched another cooking attempt! I have boiled something over 5 times now in the past couple of weeks--hamburger helper, pasta salad, and now mashed potatoes! I was even watching to see that it didn't boil over, and as soon as I took it off the heat, milk, butter and water erupted forth like some sort of monster! And then when that was over I slopped half of it onto the fridge and floor while trying to stir. BLAH.
- Instead of moving to Chicago in October, I am moving in JULY! That's right! In just a little less than 3 weeks I will depart, and I am very excited! I am also experiencing a heavy influx of lectures and such from family members about "staying true to yourself, remembering your roots" and things like that. As if Chicago was out to corrupt me!
- I also got my schedule figured out! I will be taking an array of fun classes, SUCH AS Costume History, Survey of the Fashion Industry, Textiles, and Clothing Construction 1! And I'm getting a sewing machine soon, so now I can finally make those pants I've been wanting to make!
- The Humane Society has been quite lovable. Today I went into the Cat Condo and immediately had a fluffy gray and white cat launch himself onto my shoulders, where he wrapped himself around my neck and purred quite loudly! It was like having a live shawl!
I forgot to mention in the midst of my Flag Day celebration festivities that it is also my BIRTHDAY! I got a number of great presents from
Matthew, including a tiny Yoshi in a Go-Kart that zooms around if you pull it backwards and let it go! I brought it to work today so I could make it go from my counter space to Deborah's, another person that I work with!
I will try and post more frequently--after all, I will have scads of stories once I move to Chicago!

life, Art, Beeks
So, I've been doodling at work lately! We've got some colored pencils there, so I've been sketching ideas and stuff. This resulted in ME painting a BOB-OMB parade!
The finished result will be at the end of this post! But here are some DOODLES. I tried to make Peach look all
Roy Lichtenstein-y. Yeah....and I made a Potion bottle from Super Mario Bros. 2 as well!
And here's my BOB-OMB painting!
Please don't tell me it's lame! Just keep that to yourself...

icky stuff, Beefs, Beeks
Also--nothing is worse than plopping down on the couch with a nice pot of Spiderman Macaroni and Cheese and spilling half of it all over the floor!

icky stuff, life, apartment, Beeks
So, I had a very delightful dream last night until it turned rather sour by dog poo. In this dream my sister brought an *ADORABLE* little teacup beagle over to my apartment and I was letting it trundle about, and it was just SO cute, and then it totally unloaded all over my floor! Then to make matters worse, my sister said "Oh, that's just what it does!" and then smeared it all over the floor.
What does this all mean? I am inclined to say there is a deeper meaning in this dream. One time I had a dream where I turned into a sheep and was taken into the heavens by the Greek gods and a dream interpreter said "I needed to spend more time with my grandma." (WORST $15 I spent in Washington DC!). Could it mean I'm not getting enough fiber? Am I spending too much time at the Humane Society???

I awoke at 4 AM this morning to torrents of RAIN and claps of THUNDER! Then I suddenly remembered that the day before I had put my new potted plant on the balcony!!! It is a small plant and I didn't want it to get flooded! I rushed to the balcony and saw another unpleasant surprise!
I LEFT MY FUZZY PINK CHAIR ON THE BALCONY TOO!!!!!
Blast! Luckily, the fan I bought late last night at Wal-Mart (for the sake of airing out my fume-y apartment caused by me starting on my newest art project!) AIR-DRIED my little chair. *Phew!*
But now I need to find a new place to paint because I will be getting a new roommate soon! That spare bedroom I so wanted to turn into Becky's Creativity Hub is now off-limits and must be cleared out!! And I guess I have to learn how to share my Nintendo!

Yes! It has been nearly a month since my last post, and I have managed to grill both hot dogs AND boca burgers in this time period. Oh, and s'mores! The grill is a bit of a challenge--er, maybe it's just me--but a lot of lighter fluid was used in that tiny grill! FIRE!!! At some point I felt insignificant because my neighbor down below was grilling simultaneously on his much larger grill, but that feeling soon waned because I like smaller versions of things (like snack sized candy bars as opposed to king sized; miniature anything) and therefore think my grill is much more fun.
Some UPDATES:
- I have felt like poop more than once this month
- I have pooped more than once this month
- I played with both kitties and puppies at the Humane Society this month. One cat was the size of a beach ball!
- I have been surviving on $1 Tortino's pizzas and hotdogs
- At some point, I intend to start my next painting project!
- I watched Evil Dead this month, and feel like watching Evil Dead 2 tonight!
- I REALLY want to go shopping!
And I saw a RAINBOW yesterday! It was more like a rainbow stump because it didn't go very high. Not even an arch!
I like the new cat on my blog--or is it a mink?? Someday I would like to make my own custom style sheet, but if I can't even figure out Photoshop then I think it would be hard for me to make my own style sheet. SOMEDAY.
