Let me begin with this:
My cousin Kirsten is an amazing lady who is riding to conquer cancer, a 200km ride benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation. As I write this I am shedding tears for I am so touched by her dedicating her ride to me.
Take a look at her page, and donate if you want.
So great, I have makeup running down my face right now.
Kirsten is doing fund-raising for the ACF, which is where funding belongs. If you are ever going to donate to cancer research, put it in something local. We have a great facility for cancer care here in Edmonton, and as much as I hate going there I know I am in the best hands I could be in. The Alberta Cancer Board has done a lot of great things for cancer patients, and now my cousin is doing her part. I am so blown away that she is doing this, 200km? Snap that's far!
In other news.

For those of you who don't know who or what a Krampus is here is the WikiVersion:
Krampus is a mythical creature recognized in Alpine countries. According to legend, Krampus accompanies Saint Nicholas during the Christmas season, warning and punishing bad children, in contrast to St. Nicholas, who gives gifts to good children. When the Krampus finds a particularly naughty child, it stuffs the child in its sack and carries the frightened child away to its lair, presumably to devour for its Christmas dinner.
In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented as a beast-like creature, generally demonic in appearance. The creature has roots in Germanic folklore. Traditionally young men dress up as the Krampus in Austria, southern Bavaria, South Tyrol, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia during the first week of December, particularly on the evening of 5 December, and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells. Krampus is featured on holiday greeting cards called Krampuskarten. There are many names for Krampus, as well as many regional variations in portrayal and celebration.

THE KRAMPUS WILL GET YOU IF YOU MISBEHAVE!!!
I know I posted several necklaces last night, but here is my newest, a three charm disco beaded number.
I had a difficult time getting a decent shot of this, the flash made it look like a disco ball, because the beads are kinda like little disco balls, which I love. I love disco ball beads.
I love beading, but I am not the most talented- yet. I just do it for myself right now, but maybe is you're in good with me or have a birthday coming up you could end up with a creation inspired by you, in the Erin signature style.
Hehehe.
So what else?
I am lazy, and craving sake. Tomorrow is friday, I don't see the issue in having some tomorrow night. Yes, I have just convinced myself to get some sake tomorrow, not like it was hard to decide that, but with sake sushi goes well. Perfect. Now if only it was Friday night now.
So I said I was lazy, and watching From Hell. What a great movie. Johnny Depp is pretty dreamy in this one, love those mutton chops. My husband is going to read this and will be like "HA! I knew you loved J. DEPP!" He's going to laugh at me. But he's so old-timey handsome in this one, something about those old timey hats and shit.
Now for a little pudding and some old timey pics, why you ask?
Well the pudding is Kozy Shack. My VERY FAVOURITE.
Old timey pics for this is my blog and I will post solely for my own amusement.
Now this is just some straight up, old-timey musicians. I can hear that guy scratchin' on those fiddle strangs.
These guys are down with the dixie.
I want, no, MUST have these!
Some old timey boxing for your entertainment.
More old timey athleticism.
A delightfully creepy old timey bunny with a big creepy tail pointing in a bad direction.
A very precious old timey kitty.
Two old timey bike guys.
A very frightening old timey flying contraption.
Old timey Halloween costumes. This phot was taken in 1911.
Old timey sisters that are apparently married to their dog.
Just a good old timey music poster.
An old-timey gentleman with a sweet stache.
-E.

Don't worry, mom ;)
Hello!
Just felt the need to let you know your Gramma was bribing the hospital staff for Kozy Shack pudding. She would say "I would give my kingdom for another Kozy Shack!" She would get one! She had all the staff charmed.
You probably knew this but I think that bunnies have fluffy balls for tails!! I think that might be his carrot! Oh my! That's a big carrot! Take care...almost April...almost July!
