I’m hoping to start my own Etsy store within the next six months, so hopefully I’ll be posting my own stuff soon!

Unless you get off on fear and materialism. I ain’t judgin’.

I haven’t posted in nearly a month, which I’m sure is surprising to absolutely no one except myself; I had fully intended to blog at least weekly, and then life was like POW HERE’S SOME OTHER STUFF. (My speech/text has become peppered with ejaculations such as BAM and POW as of late, and I’ve been warned that I’m turning into an episode of Batman.) Life is fairly routine and mediocre — for the most part, at least. The rest is a lovely mix of shows, friends, booze, late night IM’s, and occasionally MST3K.

I’m flying to see a friend in late May, which I was excited about until I realized I’m flying there. I’ve not been on a plane since I was about eight or nine, and I’m not exactly looking forward to being whooshed in a huge piece of machinery to heights that people are not supposed to reach and then whoosing back down. I also have to fly on one plane for an hour and 45 minutes, and then switch planes in D.C. and fly for another hour. I can’t wait to take off and land four times in just over a week’s time. I also don’t have an iPod or a laptop, so I will be probably be spending my time playing Tetris on my crappy ass GoPhone.

Last night I realized that I don’t have any luggage, which I’m sure I can borrow from someone, but I also don’t have a carry on bag which I am totally buying. I ended up finding some awesome things on Etsy, and although I’m not going to link my favorites (because I might need to buy them), here are a few more finds:

Big Yellow and Brown Vintage Case Luggage Bag Carry On
Yellow and brown carry-on bag

Vintage Suitcase - Overnight Bag - Vintage CarrierFawn-colored overnight case

Candy Apple Red Set of Samsonite Hardshell Suitcases
Set of two candy apple red suitcases

I have found some incredible stuff on Etsy lately, and I think (if I remember to) I’ll start posting some of my finds here.

I also want to plug the wife — Rebecca — of one of my oldest, best friends. Her Etsy store has the cutest stuff, which you should go buy.

Navy and White Wingtip Wedges - Size 7.5

Powder Blue Secretary Blouse
