So I started to keep a new journal on wordpress because it's fancy. I really haven't figured out all of its fanciness yet but someday I will. I might still update this one every once in a while but if you want to check out the new one its at http://www.cottoncupcakes.com

well well chirstmas is over. I had a good time. I didn't get much done today because I have a freaking cold and felt crappy. I basically laid around watching movies all day. I rented the descent which I really enjoyed. I even jumped a few times. I'm hoping to be more productive tomorrow I had such big plans for this vacation and so far I've all I've done is watch movies and eat cookies.

goal for tomorrow: do stuff

I think it is pretty funny when dogs dream and make the strange muffled barking noise. My oh my I ate so much food tonight. Cheesecake with strawberries, asparagus wrapped in salmon, ham, potatoes, and too many glasses of wine. I was tired all night but now I can't get to sleep. My christmas has been wonderful except for the fact that my dog has terrible gas and is sleeping inches from me at the moment.

My back is killing me. I really need to buy some sort of work table in the near future. My current method is a giant piece of plywood on my bed and it is not so good. I had a pretty good day, I made cookies with my mom. It still doesn't feel like the holidays yet but maybe this week when I attend multiple christmas assemblies and parties at school. I'm feeling a little down tonight I don't think I should have watch Hotel Rwanda. : [

I can't wait for everything to change. I need change right now.

Things have been good good good lately. I am have been watching way too many movies and episodes of Veronica Mars. Which is one crazy TV show.

I got the zippers I ordered today so I have been sewing them all into brand new bags. I am almost done christmas shopping. This is the earliest I think I've never finished. I need to get some wrapping paper and try constructing bows out of old plastic bags. I think it might be harder than the instructions let on.

goals for tomorrow are as follows

+ make it to post office before noon
+ bake cookies
+ buy flannel
+ sew a zipper into a newly sewn jumper

I think an amish woman somewhere might have the same goal list as me.

SALISBURY, Md. May 2, 2006 (AP)— A 20-year-old was found by a Wal-Mart employee in the bathroom Sunday night after he sat down and was glued to the toilet seat.

The man, whose name was not released by police, was taken to the hospital late Sunday night, said Lt. Cheryl Rantz of the Salisbury Police Department.

"The man had gone into the bathroom and sat down," she said. "He was banging on the wall when the employee came in."

Rantz said the man was treated and released.

Tomorrow I get to eat Thanksgiving at work. After work I get to start a 5 day vacation!! I am super excited to spend my time sewing. Life has been really good lately. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner this year. Jellied cranberries are my favorite part of the whole deal.

My work has been kind of fun lately. I got to watch an awesome 3rd grade play about Thanksgiving and today was a magic show that taught morals. Can't get better than that. : ]

Tomorrow I plan to knit a new hat. Oo la la.

The new etsy is up and running

I think I am getting sick. : [

I'm at work right now and I feel terrible. I really need some tea or a slushie. My throat is killing me. I was so proud I had been able to avoid sickness. I wish my town had a jamba juice. Maybe I'll buy some sort of super vitamin C filled drink on my break. I made some pouches last night because I was super excited to sew in my new tags. They look pretty good, I'll post a photo later.

Last weekend was Handmade Arcade. It was a good time. The place was very crowded. I got a chance to look around a bit at the end of the day. I bought a encylopedia destructica book and lots of delicious cupcakes.I wish I had one of those cupcakes right now. I don't have to go to school tomorrow. : ]

I can't believe it is November already. Time seems to be flying by lately. Since the weather was nice yesterday I went to Greenwood. The pond there was really low and surrounded by mud. We walked out on the pier and I threw stones into the deep mud. They made the coolest noise when they hit. My friend and I had a contest to make the biggest mud splash. We also climbed down into the damn and sat for awhile.

Tonight I went down to Kish park. I love walking past all the sleeping ducks just floating on the surface with their heads tucked in. I have been sewing and painting like crazy lately. Oh and cleaning my room. I'm trying to get rid of stuff. I really need to downsize all the crap I own. It is just too much. The only thing I can't seem to part with at all is my books.

This guy loves penn state and fountain drinks.

I had a fun weekend. I went to Jason's Woods which was pretty awesome. It had a 3D haunted house and a hayride with fire explosions and an impaled elves. Sunday my sister and eric came down to hang out and eat the biggest dinner ever. Today I got to sleep in super late and play uno at work. It felt like winter today and I didn't like it. I want fall weather to last a bit longer.

I got paid today. :]

I bought some new fabric and felt. Tomrrow I plan to sleep in super late, make homemade rice krispies, and sew like crazy.

perfect.

I have been so sleepy lately.

This website is great http://www.freecycle.org

I hate throwing stuff away. My teeny tiny county even has one.

Reason #1 not to make stuff while wearing the only pair of dress pants you enjoy wearing to work.

SUPER GLUE

Today I left work early and drove around for a bit. I love this time of year. I am not really looking forward to winter but I do enjoy that feeling on winter nights when it is so cold that it hurts your lungs to take a deep breath. So I filled my evening making stuff. My hands are currently covered with super glue and felt fuzz. haha. I made some felt weiner dog pins and a few totes. I still have a bright yellow tote that I have to finish and oh so many zip pouches to create. I'm so glad tomorrow is Wednesday. Its weird when time seems to be flying by but at the same time you can't wait for the next moment to pass.

I hate the word blog. Who came up with that one?

I have been waiting for what seems like forever for the mail to get here. I went to goodwill today in search of a sweater vest but didn't have much luck. I did however find some good stuff.

I want to go on a hike this weekend. The leaves are looking so beautiful.

woah.

I spun some yarn today in pretty fall colors. I also knitted until I got a cramp in my right hand. I wish I had a giant studio so I could felt things. It seems too messy for a bedroom. I can't wait for it to be the weekend. I do not enjoy working very much, it takes up so much time. I wish I could just spend my days sewing and knitting and be paid for it.

I spent an hour looking at this flickr group about craft books.

my journal entried are thrilling.

Today I got an unexpected day off from work which was good and bad. I drove to Selingsgrove with my mom and grandmother to pick up my new glasses. I ate a huge sundae at Friendly's that contained a blondie brownie soooo good. Tomorrow I am going to sew sew sew oh and go to a boring work meeting.
