B.I.A.P.I.M.B

Blogging Is A Pain In My.....well you get the idea! I still have no idea how to work this site and when I want to do something it takes a million, trial and errors, before I get it right!

Well these past couple of weeks I went through maybe 1/10 of my moms sewing room and through her and my closets. I also got some clothes from my good friend Emily, and with the free time at the end of the night we sewed and sewed and sewed. Really didnt get that much stuff done because we need some thread and things we didn't have at the time.

So yesterday, I went to my friend Cecy's house and we took some things I sewed, some old stuff of my moms and some treasures I found at Goodwill, and I told her what to put on. We had a fun little photo studio in her backyard, with her dad grilling and laughing at her. lol It was a great time and we are definitely going to do it again! But today I went to upload the photos on hear and I couldn't find a gadget that would work right! I was so frustrated! I obviously figured it out eventually, but I'm not excited to do it again! lol

I hope you enjoy my creations and please give me feed back. Which one's your favorite? Is there something else you'd like to see? Would you buy one? How much would you be willing to pay? For me there is always a point on a dress, where I love it, until I see the price! Once I see that price, it just isn't that cute anymore. lol 

Anyway hope you like 'em!

Perm smells and headaches

In case you were worried.....I'M NOT DEAD! I left AZ in my moving truck accompanied with Cecilia and Jordan and drove 18 hours straight, making it to Pocatello by 10:45 PM. We slept, unpacked the truck and drove the last stretch home, getting to Kuna at 3:30 PM. Needless to say, my knees were so stiff I could hardly walk. It was a long and stressful drive and I was glad to have it over! After I got home I spent the next week unpacking, packing, and organizing.

 I also started my new job and traveled back to Utah for my cousins wedding. Of course while in Utah I got my first sun burn of the year! It hurt! Stupid summer. It was a beautiful wedding and it was a fun trip. Although I have technically had plenty of time to get all my unpacking and organizing done......it isn't. lol I'm lazy sometimes. What can ya do?

I need to get my LLC and my DBA for my business done but I'm having second or third thoughts on my name selection.....if anybody has any ideas they want to throw at me....I wouldn't mind. Once I have that all squared away, I will start my website, then sell things at the flea market, consignment, and maybe join a few fairs or festivals if I can.

I really don't have a lot of stuff done, but I have lots to do and my mom and I are starting on it this week, while my dad is out of town. My dad being out of town is the perfect time, because I never sleep, and when my dad is gone my mom doesn't sleep so we can work together late into the night and not worry about waking up anyone. Except my brother, but again "what can ya do?" ha ha

I'm asking my sister, who is handy with a camera to help take pictures of the jewelry and things that I have done now, so that I can get some pics up for ya! :D

When I talk to people about my plans they tell me I'm brave or ambitious. I take the compliments and I like 'em, I mean who wouldn't? But let me tell you, I don't feel ambitious or brave, I feel a little scared, nervous, and a lot excited, and like I'm either digging myself a really deep hole or the way to china for a nice and happy vacation. I'm hoping for the second one. Metaphorically and literally... ;)

I don't know how this endeavor will work out but I hope for the best and try my hardest and maybe this wild dream will come true :)

Bahaha! I published this without even talking about what I titled it! Good thing there is an edit button! So last night was the first night my dad was gone and we had Jordan, Cecy, Breezy, and Danielle over. We did 3 Perms, 1 dye job and watched New years Eve and Son in Law while doing everyones hair. Needless to say, I had a giant headache last night and the house still reeks and I'm getting another headache. Time to open every single window in the house I think! If I pass out or die from all the chemicals, its guaranteed that Jordan or Cecy will get up at my funeral and say that it was karma for burning Breezy's head. Best friends...never let me forget anything....even when I'm dead. I love those stinkin jerks. :)

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!
