Down to the Wire

Well I have only 2 days left to get everything packed and ready to go! I pick up the rental truck on monday and pack it, then Jordan and Cecy get here on tuesday and its time to play and then come home! I CAN"T WAIT!!!! The longer I'm here the more things I think of that I need to do and learn when I get back. Tonight I wrote a new song, I'm not sure if its any good, I'm gonna try it again in the morning and see what I think. lol It's about a sheep, but also about being different and love. Its interesting for sure. I sold my car on wed and have been blessed with an awesome roommate that lets me borrow her car, but its weird to not have my own car. :/ I know my posts aren't that exciting right now, but once I actually get started, it should get much better and there will be lots of pics! Well I better get to sleep so I can wake up and pack some more!

Been a while

I know it's been a while, but there hasn't been much new to say. lol I did have some issues with my eyes I was starting to get pretty worried about, but most of the worry inducing symptoms are gone, so I'm feeling pretty confident it was nothing. :)
I'm getting more and more excited to come home, but at the same time, as it gets closer, I'm getting pretty sad too! I will be working at Pier 49 Pizza, which is a sour dough pizza that is incredibly delicious! If you haven't tried it yet, you need to! I've decided that I need to learn to crochet and knit, so that will be something fun to learn when I get back. All the things I want to learn are starting to seem a little overwhelming, but as long as I remember it will take time, hopefully I won't get too discouraged!

For years and years I was plagued with wanting something to wear, but could not find it at any store! I was also too lazy to make it myself at the time. Have you ever felt that way?? If so, let me know! I will make it! This is for men and women. Even if its just a general idea or theme of something that you want! I do take requests :) You can either comment here or on my facebook!

Happy Easter!

Easter is a great Holiday, aside from the eggs and candy and commercial side, its a great day to remember the Lord! I just wish I had at least been able to go to church today.....I had to be to work at 10:45 and worked until 6. So I was exhausted when I got home and all I wanted was some homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and some corn.......well all my potatoes were rotten, and the only other option I had was hash browns, so I opted for hash browns and eggs instead.....sort of the same......aw who am I kidding! Nothing like what I actually wanted. lol To put the icing on the cake my roommate and I were discussing something and I was reminded of the movie, He's Just Not That Into You. Love that movie. She was talking about shy guys, and how they don't make a move cause they are too shy. Is that just a thing we, girls, tell ourselves? How do you tell whether he is shy or just plain not interested? Too bad there isn't a handbook that works for every single guy and girl, to tell you the secret code.
 Anyhow, I am getting tired of this working 7 days a week. I think every person everywhere should get one whole day off, where they have no plan and just fly by the seat of their pants and just do what they want! If I enjoyed what I did more, maybe I wouldn't mind it so bad. But standing in a cubby waiting for people to come and see me, constantly worried about someone watching me or having to entertain myself while trying to look busy, and sitting on the phone trying to get random people to give me their money, is not my cup of tea. I can't wait to be my own boss! I'll say "Like a BOSS!" like a real gangsta'.

American Pickers

Lately I have been watching a lot of American Pickers. I want to do that so bad! It's like a treasure hunt every day! With the last few weeks of work and all the excitement for going home, the next month is going to take forever.
Aside from the excitement for starting my new life, I am so excited to get back together with old friends! I have been trying to plan the move home. My friends Cecilia and Jordan are coming to ride home with me and its gong to be legen-wait for it-dary! They are getting here on a Tuesday and I want to have a party that night, that includes some awesome long boarding(I plan to learn some cool tricks). Then Wed is the day to get the moving truck and pack it up. Early Thursday morning we will hook my car up on the dolly and head out. We plan to stop in Sedona at the Slide Rock State Park and play, then head toward Utah from there. We gotta go through Logan and get some squeaky cheese and either stay with someone there for the night or head into Idaho and stay in Pocatello or somewhere near there. Friday we will head to Rexberg and visit some friends and family. Lastly head home, probably stop at some cool Idaho places on the way home too :) It will be the best road trip ever! The 3 of us back together again driving across the US and having a grand old time! Can we make the 30th come much faster please???? Oh and if anyone reads this and has a place for us to stay somewhere along the way on Thursday the 3rd of May, that would be amazing!

Thanks Guys!

2 weeks notice

well friends, I told Sears that I will be leaving and gave my 2 weeks notice. Apparently i need to take a written notice to our HR manager, so I'm going to do that tomorrow. I'm getting more and more excited every day to come home! The other day I came up with some new ideas for clothes that is going to be pretty freaking awesome! Also as soon as I get home I would love to take any clothed people need to get rid of off their hands. If you ever have clothes you dont really wear anymore but dont want to get rid of, bring them to me! If there is nothing I can do with it, I give it back free of charge, if I do come up with something I'll tell you my idea. If you like it, I will make said thing out of your item! If you're like me, you hate getting rid of clothes, so upcycling is great for those out of style or just plain old clothes! also, old jewelry, buttons, and beads are also great! pretty much anything you get rid of, run it by me first, better to be reused rather than thrown in the dump!

Everyone should check out Pier 49 Pizza in Meridian ID on Overland! It is the best pizza ever!

grrr

Well, needless to say, I'm still trying to figure this blogger stuff out. I'm trying to find a page that suits me and its just not coming together! So I'm sure it will change again soon, I cant find the right text color to match my background. If anyone has suggestions, send 'em my way! Today was general conference and I think I need to visit my family more often, I was so busy talking and catching up, I missed a lot of the talks! ha ha guess I'll have to read them later, I heard there were some good ones. Most of the posts I've seen on it, have been about judging. That's a good thing, cause I think we get dogged a lot as Mormons for the judging thing. I also spent a good part of conference braiding/weaving headbands out of old t-shirts with my cousins. It was pretty fun! I've decided I need to do more crafts than I do. I made a flower headband last night and an extra fabric flower, but I don't know what I will do with that yet...... 

These are my projects from the last few days 1. 4 headbands and 2 bracelets that I made today. 2. the same headbands close up so you can see the weave. 3. The flower headband I made last night, I experimented with burning the edges, it worked all right, I like the look. 4. A pair of earrings I made forever ago. Best part is the fish came out of a quarter machine and they are squishy! :) 5. The other fabric flower I made and haven't used yet......







 All in all today was a great day, but this weekend I made salsa and did crafts in the living room, so I need to go and clean this place up before my roomie gets home from St. George tonight! ;)
