Hey girl...

Things have been a little rough over here in La Casa de Carson.
Tiny ugly germs,
insomniac baby,
over-full calendar,
MBD's (mental breakdown days... read this book, you won't be sorry),
general chaos...

Sometimes I just need to laugh like a Jr. Higher,
then do some stress induced cookie baking,
with a little bit of eating of feelings on the side.

Enjoy.
Because who doesn't love them some crafty Ryan Gosling.
Mmmmm.  Ryan Gosling.

Random side note:
How I wish I could put him in a time machine, and cast The Notebook era Ryan Gosling as Peeta in The Hunger Games.  Yes.  Please.  The boy with all the right kinds of bread.







You are totally cry-laughing right now aren't you?
Right?

It's okay.  So am I.

{All images from Handmade Ryan Gosling,
brilliantly sent to me by the lovely Laura who always makes me laugh.}

    Hahaha! Needed that laugh, thanks!

    We've had some insomniac baby, MBD, eating-our-feelings days around here and I'm knee deep in a HUGE, last-minute memory quilt project with my non-sewing mother made of my grandfather's old PJs (he went in the hospital Dec26 last year and died a few weeks later).

    (It like to killed me to cut those clothes! It took a whole Panera cinnamon roll to get me through it.)

    It's all good, though. My Grandma is going to love it. She has made quilts for every one in the family and no one ever makes her anything.

    Hang in there, Mama! We are doing LIFE!

    That reminds me of Crazy Stupid Love when Emma Stone sees him with his shirt off and says, "Holy crap, is this real? Wait, is this Photoshop?" Amazing. and I still havent seen the Notebook because I hate to cry and I hate crying movies. I Am Sam? FORGET IT.

    r-gizzle spoke to me this morning. he felt bad that only 12 people entered my giveaway. he is so cute, since only three did. ;)

    i can't get enough gosling. i'd be willing to even have the same initials as i do now if he wanted to marry me (total deal breaker otherwise) ;)
