HandBorn

Hello Loves! I know I know, I have been away for a bit. I've been super busy with school (I still have two 10 page papers due within a month!) and I'm getting my fitness on.

Lately, Justine and I have been really talking about having a baby within the next few years (make that 3 to be exact) and in the mean time I need to lose 50lbs to even make that possible. Being overweight and unhealthy and trying to get pregnant while having P.C.O.S. is extremely difficult. Especially when you add on to the fact that both of us lack the other part of the process and so I am fully dedicated to finishing school, losing weight, and getting healthy again so that we can make a family.

Ok enough of the mushy stuff. Because school has taken up much of my time, I still have yet to create all the handmade gifts I plan to give for this holiday season. I have also yet to order the much needed materials to create my new line of collars and leashes. But, I managed to snag a spot in HandBorn which is only a few weekends away! Oh dear me. The weekend before I even planned to go to Disneyland with Justine. So, this means that this weekend and next weekend I will be a collar making machine! Not to mention I have a few days off from school coming up that I will most definitely be using for crafting. So, I am going to order the much needed supplies for my collars and leashes and if you're in Modesto, CA this coming Nov. 29th please stop by and check out my new line!

Zapped

I feel so utterly zapped today. For example, I woke up at 6:40am and usually I'm up a little earlier than that on school days. This morning my bed seemed so comfy, my puppies snuggled extra close because the windows were open and the warmth from under the covers felt comforting and more pleasant than usual.

Ralphie's been doing this weezy, hacking, coughing, choking kind of thing and I've been worried about him. I've been stressing about getting my new project done and getting ready to have a big craft vending weekend. Last night I climbed into bed, snuggled up to Justine and let my mind slip into sleep, but unfortunately only bad dreams came to mind. A car crash, rotten teeth, and missing puppies plagued my dreams. You know that sleep where your eyes are closed and in your mind your calculating how much time is left to sleep. That was my mind. Constantly going over this coming weekend, classes, and puppy problems.

I woke up more exhausted then when I went to sleep. Certainly not what I expected, but here I sit in my ComS 190 class completely tuning out. Day dreaming about sewing, fabric shopping, perfecting my craft. Crafts are my escape and sometimes my cryptonite. Although, I may not be listening in class right now, this is my process of learning. Learning about myself, learning about my future, learning about my life.

A tired mind is still a mind and minds are meant for molding.

First day of school

Hey everyone. Today officially started off my fall semester here at Sacramento State University. I am a Junior (wow I feel kinda old) and I have nothing but upper division major related classes for once! Woohoo! I still have two more G.E. classes but I'm saving those for the spring semester.

Already I've ran into two of my fellow Apple interns and a friend from Sierra High School. He was not in my graduating class but we used to "hang out" in our calculus class. He's out here living with another one of my old friends from high school. What a small world? Not really I'm sure since Sacramento is only an hour away from Manteca but you get the point.

This semester I feel that I lucked out with my classes, nothing seems so daunting that I don't think I'll succeed. The upside about this semester is that I only have to buy two textbooks so far. The downside is that I have to purchase a FlipVideo for one of my classes that does not require a book. Apparently I got myself into a blogging class, in which obviously we will be blogging once a week until the semester is over. The instructor asked that we purchase the FlipVideo for a mere $149+tax. WHAT?! I'm already in progress of searching for a cheaper one online and what I've gound so far is $119 cheapest. The search will continue. Most of the classes are related around the internet and computers so I'm pleased to say that I am on my way to being the web designer I've always wanted to be.

Oh good news about the business. I've come up with some really cute concept for some sewing pins. Tomorrow will have an updated blog post about the new items. I'm really excited and for all you sewers out there there will be a GIVEAWAY!! Woohoo!
