The Croop, The Cough, And Star Wars!

All last week and most likely this week too I have had the worst cold I have had in a looooong time. I have literally been getting up from bed just long enough to go to class and eat, but most of my days I have been sitting or laying watching t.v. shows. Boy do I wish I liked tea, maybe I should try hot tea sometime I might actually like that kind.

One awesome thing did happen last week, I started watching Star Wars with my sweetie for the first time ever! And it is my first time seeing them not his, he has seen them a few times; me on the other hand have not seen them and I really wanted to understand the cute jokes I have been seeing all over the internet and well everywhere. I think I will get to see the next one this week and maybe possibly the third one too! My sweetie is really the best!

Well I guess I should be hitting the hay soon since I have class tomorrow morning and I still am fighting this annoying super cold. Well good night everyone, my the force be with you!

P.S. Yes, I know I am a geek, it happens and I am proud of being a geek!

Fall Break!!

At last fall break has arrived! I now have a chance to get caught up on my knit (new project going on) and some other house related stuff. Speaking of house related stuff, yesterday I went through all of my clothes and jackets and filled a giant trash bag with stuff to donate to a local coat drive! 

 With fall break here that means Halloween is right around the corner! Halloween is by far one of my favorite holidays, we already have our pumpkins ready to carve, some candy to give out and we are going to decorate our house up nice here soon! I just realized we do more decorating for Halloween than any other holiday at my house.

Welp I guess I should get back to enjoying being free from class, I hope everyone else has a wonderful day!

Toodles!!

 

Crazyness

Hello all this semester has been crazy busy started out the semester taking four classes but ended up having to drop one of them in order to stay sane. My math class started out fun but has rapidly gotten harder. I am happy to say that there is a slight chance that I could go to the local Art Institute and finally be able to do what I really want to do!

Since I finally have this crazy semester sort of under control I get to knit again! I am surprised that after not doing anything with my needles for so long, when I finally picked them up again I just started right up like I just put them down yesterday. I am currently working on a scarf (not that I need a new one but it gives me something fun to do). I also got to bake a birthday cake the other day with a good friend for her sister's birthday, which was incredibly fun! Soon I get to bake and decorate cupcakes for a sweet girl's one year birthday party!! 

Well back to the madness of the semester I hope everyone has a wonderful evening/day! Toodles!!

Busy!!

I have been so busy these past few days! For the last two weeks and this week too my sweetie has been working at a buddy's place during the day and going to train for a job at night, so to occupy my time that I have been cleaning like a mad person. I am glad he finally has a job but I cannot wait until I get to spend time with him, I miss him. Since I have been cleaning so much I now have room in my now clean room to move my mom's old desk from my grandma's house to my room! 

My father and I are going to go measure it to make sure it will fit soon and my sweetie and his buddy will be helping us move it shortly after that (hopefully tomorrow). Although my sister says that dad and her boy can get it I know better and I don't want her boy in my room even though it would be just long enough to move a desk in there I don't want him in here. I would much rather have two people who I have known for six years and I know I can trust to move my desk. Plus they have already agreed to doing it so my sister needs to just get over it.

I can't wait to be able to sit down at my own desk to do my homework for the up coming semester on my new/old desk. Well I best be going so that I can be ready to go with my dad to look at the desk, have a great afternoon or morning everyone! Toodles!!

Oops.. Kinda Late.

Hi everyone, sorry I have been so silent but shortly after my last post I got a two month old (now three month) kitten and have had my hands full with him. Not a lot has occurred in the time between now and then so you all haven't missed out on much. I have been able to spend more time with my sweetie lately, I have been enjoying it but I do really hope he gets this job he is applying for!

Well I know I haven't said much but I am sure when the semester begins next month I will have a whole lot of fussing/venting to do. I must go to work now so toodles, have a nice day!

My Mom!

Today is the anniversary of the birth of one of the best moms ever! Yup, today is my mom's birthday and it will be a wonderful day for her! She is best person ever, I can talk to her about everything and it is fun to hang out with her; she is the best woman ever!  Yesterday my sister had a quick course on how to bake a cake and then last night after work I decorated it for her. I love my mom with all my heart and I hope she enjoys her day!
Toodles all.

The finished cake!

Time For A Bit Of Catching Up

I know it has been a few days since I was on here last, but I have been kinda busy. Over the past few weeks I have been working on my room and getting it ready to have my mom's old desk moved into my room from her mother's house. It has taken some serious attention focusing attempts but I am proud to say that I should be able to move my desk maybe next week sometime or the week after that!

I also finally got a sewing machine!!! It took me years of looking at it in the store to finally pick it up and buy it. I just got it yesterday and I have been fixing things all day from my mom's old childhood pillow to some of her dresses, I'm not complaining seeing that I rather enjoy sewing but I wanna make something. I guess I am just going to have to start looking for ideas. If anyone has any ideas let me know what they are and I will most defanatly try to do them!

Well I guess I should start getting ready to go to work, if you live in the same general area as me you should defiantly take your father out to a nice dinner at River Terrace!

Toodles everyone and to all the fathers out there have a happy Father's Day!!
