Inside Kimmy's Mind

Ok I don’t know what I was thinking when I was signing up for classes this semester, but I must have had a reason for doing this…I just can’t remember what it was.

So I actually signed up for classes pretty early this semester. I was proud of myself because I usually wait until the last minute. And this causes me so much stress yet I continue to wait every semester. But not this time, this time I managed to register for classes early. But I haven’t looked at my schedule since registering two months ago. And last week I received an email letting me know that my tuition wasn’t fully paid. So after taking care of that problem, I decided since classes are starting soon I should look where my classes are.

My schedule is as follows…

• Mon-Wed. : Shakespeare class 1:00-2:30

Non-Fiction class 5:30-7:00

• Tues-Thurs.: Math -.- 1:00-2:30

Fiction Forms (Tues. only) 2:30-5:30

O.o Wait what?…

And then I realized that I signed up for a math class that ends the same time a creative writing class starts!!! I must have noticed this when I scheduled for classes. Why did I do this? What was I thinking? I wouldn’t make this mistake. So before freaking out (even more) I looked up the classrooms for each class. I was hoping the classrooms wouldn’t be too far from each other. Only they aren’t exactly near each other either. The building outlined in green is  the Science and Engineer building. And that is where  I will be having math… in this room. The building circled in red is the English building and that is where the rest of my classes are located. Notice the distance? They are actually pretty far from each other. And I have no idea what I’m going to do about this. I think what must have gone through my head was, I’ve had this English teacher before; he won’t mind if I’m a tad bit late for class. And classes don’t always end exactly at the time it says it does. So I might have enough time to run across campus for my next class. Not to mention teachers aren’t always on time either so there is that to take into consideration. However, I’m still left with the feeling of wanting to kick myself. WHY DID I DO THIS?! >.< School is already complicated enough and  I just had to make it even more complicated.  But then I remembered, I signed up for this math class because this was the only time slot open for that class. So even though I am pretty worried about this. Its not the end of the world. I’m going to first see how it is and hope to god that its actually not that big a deal. I’ll simply let Aaron (Fiction forms teacher) know, and I’ll do my best to make it to class on time. And its not like I’ll be an hour late or anything. So as soon as I get back to Houston, I’m going to test out how long it takes me to get from point green to point circle. And I’ll just run to class if I have to. >.< And to end this blog entry….LOOK!!! Robot ring!!! How freaking cute is this?! Too cute. My mom bought these for me and my sisters. When it comes to accessories, I’m more of a bracelet/necklace kind of girl. But I’ve been wanting to try wearing more rings.  My sisters and I each wear glasses  and my mom thought they matched us.

 I’m gonna hit the hay and try not to worry about my schedule problems. If you’re returning to Uni, have you looked at your schedule recently? I’d check it if I were you. -.-

So my mom had Monday off, so we planned a day of shopping. I’m going back to Houston on Sunday so she wanted to get me and Kat a back to school outfit. I love mom. Only, shopping right after the Holidays is just pointless.

Pointless in a small town anyway. Yeah there are a bunch of sales that make you feel a little less guilty when it comes to buying clothes but what I’ve come to learn is that the only items left on the rack are left overs. The items that no one bought before Christmas, sizes S and XXL only. You’d be lucky if you managed to find a medium. I was on a mission to find some nice tights and a blouse/shirt or better a great dress that I could either dress up or down depending on the occasion. Also I wanted it to match my new boots. >.< I love them. But before we could start our mother daughter day (minus one), we had to see what the weather had in store for us. It was thundering and raining, so I feared mom would change her mind and try to reschedule our shopping day for some other time. But she said it should be fine and we ventured out in the rain anyways. Luckily, after we got to the mall it stopped. However, I think the rain was an omen, trying to tell us that we wouldn’t find anything in the stores today.

The first store on our list was JCPenny’s. And there was nothing that caught my eye. Minus this pretty necklace and bird ring. But they were each 9 bucks. -.- And I was holding out for an actual outfit. (I regret not getting them) Kat found a ring she liked so she got that, and I bought some nice brown tights to wear. Kat and I were hoping that rue 21 would have something we liked. They always have great selections….not this time. There was nothing there either. I was hoping to find at least a dress that I liked. I found one but it was too small. And then mom brought a skirt into the dressing room for me to try on. It was cute, but not cute enough for 21.99.  Besides I have enough bottoms, its tops that I need.  Side note-I was making an awkward face in the picture so I decided to cover it up with Keroppi’s face. I always forget to take pictures of the clothes I try on. I also tried on some great cord pants. They were comfy and a nice brown yellow plus only 15 bucks. But again I was determined to find a dress or a blouse. And we were going to hit up Kohl’s next and I was holding out. -.- Of course only for more disappointment. Word of the wise, don’t shop in a small town after the Holidays because there is nothing left. I was bummed, then mom suggested we go have lunch. We were going to go to The Local but as it turns out they close after four on Mondays. -.- Lame. So we went to Luby’s instead, but mom wasn’t very happy with the food there. Even though so many little things went wrong I was happy to spend the entire day with my mom. She is the best and I’m gonna miss not see her every day. T-T  So after that we went home and Kat and I passed out on the couch. Going through the motions of shopping is exhausting, and more so when you don’t even have anything to show for it. -.- But in a couple weeks there will be new items in stock and we’ll be ready.  Of course I’m not going to put so many limits on deciding what I buy next time. I should have just bought those great pants. They were nice….oh well there is always some other time.

Shopping after the holidays is difficult…have any shopping woes to share? I wanna hear about it.

One of the biggest things I find annoying and painful is a neck crick. And I just had to pop my neck in the wrong way and end up immobile for a week. New Year Luck.

Luckily, I’m getting better thanks to Kat and my loving mom. Its still a bit sore but nothing compared to Tuesday. Sound familiar? The last time I had one was in 2008. And the only reason I remember this is because I spent most of my immobile days in bed fixing my blog entries. I decided since my blog got a make over, it was time to go back and fix all of my past entries. Since the hacking of our domain, my blog became this unorganized mess. So I used my time in bed to fix every entry since it was a new year and all. I’m loving the new layout. Mija out did herself as usual and always seems to capture my personality perfectly. I would never be able to design my own layout so I’m happy she took the time to design and code one for me. It was a Christmas present. 🙂 So before my neck spazzed out, I spent Monday with the weirdos and Cate. Kat and I decided to take pictures in Hastings. I don’t always feel pretty, so when I do I like to take a ton of “candid” pictures to document when I do. Also I wanted to show off the cute boots I got for Christmas. They are actually really comfortable. I love them. Plus I was having a good hair day and its nice when my hair behaves itself. I want to buy some new cute tights to wear with the boots. They are sort of an olive green color, so I’m thinking some teal tights or brown maybe blue. I want to try colorful tights with a fun pattern. I’ve seen some adorable tights on the Modcloth site. Along with the cutest dresses with deadly prices. :/ So on another note, its my mom and tia’s birthday on Tuesday. We let her open her present yesterday because the weirdos won’t be here for her actual birthday. She was so happy, when she opened it. She got a makeup bundle from Estee Lauder. She was so freaking adorable when she said, “I’m glad my birthday comes early.” I think she meant after Christmas. She proceeded to laugh and say, “I’m so lucky.” I love my mom. She is the best. Monday she is off so Kat and I get to spend the day with her. I only have this coming week and then its back to school I’m not really ready to start classes again. But its not like I’m not a tad bit excited for my non fiction class. I’m just going to miss being home. It was pretty comfortable the past couple weeks. I hated taking down the Christmas decorations though. I helped mom and put most of them back in their boxes. When she was taking all the trimmings off the tree it was hard not to be a bit sad. I love when the house is decorated during Christmas. Its gives the house a nice feeling, plus the tree kept its scent for a while and made the living room smell of pine. And another thing that has me bummed is the weather. I hate Texas’s bipolar weather, but this isn’t even bipolar this is just ridiculous. I know Texas is hot, but we at least get cold weather during the winter. It’s my favorite time of the year and its not even cold. It was in the 70s the other day. The 70s!!! I made fingerless mittens and scarves to wear. Not to mention a really adorable gray cape jacket to wear. I can’t wear these things outside now. I’d suffer a heat stroke!!! Last Monday was acceptable weather. Why can’t it at least be like that? -.- Just thinking of waiting for the bus in that heat pisses me off. I hope it gets colder soon. Last winter, I’d complain because my toes were frozen when I waited for the bus and it made walking around campus painful. I demand a winter. Mija and Jody surprised Kat and me with some adorable Tokidoki charms. My favorite character is the green cactus girl. But the charms are packaged in foil so you can’t tell which one you get. But she is determined to get the right ones. But I think they are all cute. Mine is a milk cow. I think its supposed to be green apple flavor. Blech- I’m not a fan of milk but its so cute.. So I should get some sleep Its already 5 am. And I was doing so well with going to bed early and waking up early. My face was clearing up and now I totally ruined it. -.-Why do I do this to myself?!!! I need to get back on a good sleeping schedule especially when I start classes again. I have a full schedule this semester so that I need to sleep more.

I’m going to miss the past several weeks of doing nothing but sleeping. -.-

So I thought I’d end this year by doing a recap of everything that happened in 2011. I got the idea from my sister’s blog over here.

But once I tried updating about last year, I had trouble remembering what all happened in the beginning. So I’ll just give you small insights to the important things that impacted my 2011.

My best friend had her son Jaxson. He is so freaking adorable. And now he is already a year old how crazy is that? I hope I get to see them both at the end of the month for his birthday party. She lives in Oklahoma now, so I don’t get to see her often. And I still haven’t had a chance to mail off her Christmas gift. >.< I’m so bad.

My little sister graduated high school last may and started her first semester at BC last August. I can’t believe how quickly she is growing up as well. Kat and I have always been together so living in Houston without her in the next room has been difficult. Luckily I have awesome roomies to keep me company.

Speaking of the weirdos they got engaged last year as well. They booked the reception place and bought our bride’s maid dresses. Its really exciting to be included in this wedding. Mija has changed so much since meeting Jody. I’m glad she found someone that can make her happy. Also they both left their past jobs to start a freelance company together called Domo-Box but now they are both starting new jobs. I’m so proud of them.

Let’s see we had some awesome parties in 2011. My favorite had to be our Halloween bash. I made costumes and they came out so freaking awesome. I think costume parties are the BEST, especially since my sewing skills have improved a great deal. So has my knitting skills, I’m pretty proud of all the new things I’ve learned how to make. I’m also pretty proud of myself in the social department. I even actually had my first college dating experience, it was new and exciting. I learned a lot, like for instance why beat around the bush just dive in. If you’re interested in someone get to know them and then tell them. It didn’t quite work out for me but I don’t regret any of it. I met a pretty cool guy who is now a pretty cool friend. And I’m glad I put myself out there because I’m already 22 I don’t have time to be shy. I just need to be confident and hey if the guy doesn’t feel the same way oh well then better luck next time. Christmas was another success as usual. I got so many great things, stuff I wasn’t even expecting.

2011 was pretty fun, I can’t really complain about it. I still haven’t gotten a job, but I’m going to stalk Jo-ann’s fabric until they hire me. Totally not kidding. Here’s to 2012, I hope I do well in school and continue to grow socially and be less awkward in social situations.

How difficult is it to write about a crazy abused woman who imagines killing her husband? I mean seriously?  -.-
My semester is coming to an end and now all that is left is to edit, revise and study. Oh and turn things in on time. And like the rest of the world I hate deadlines. Some need deadlines to get their work done they need that pressure and blah blah. I on the other hand don’t need pressure. Pressure actually makes me want to procrastinate even more. I don’t work better under pressure I work sloppy under pressure. I hate that stupid saying. I look at what I have to do for my Short Story portfolio and I think, well that’s not a lot. And then when it comes to actually typing things out it turns into an elephant size assignment. I mean even at the moment I should be editing my story but instead I’m blogging about how I should be editing my story. I HATE REVISING!!! I just want to start a new story already. -.- That wouldn’t be wise, but I still want to do it.

So here I am blogging about what I should be doing instead of doing that. I mean I’m stuck. I really hate editing because I still haven’t added an ending to the story but before I can do that I’m revising the 13 pages I’ve written and its just a big jumble of word vomit that I’d rather just delete from my memory along with my laptop’s. But alas, this is my grade I’m talking about. I’m aware that my story isn’t going to be perfect, and at this point it doesn’t have to be. But I do want it to be an interesting read.

*Side note* I’ve been editing for the past hour and I still haven’t gotten up to use the restroom because I’m afraid I will lose focus. Ah fuck- just lost it. POTTY BREAK!!!

How easily I am distracted. Speaking of distractions. Here is a collage thing of things that have sparked my interest this weekend. Some are things I hope to own one day, and some are things I won’t ever own because lets face it I have no money to purchase a few of these items. But lets proceed on to the list starting with…

1. BOOKS!!! You can never have too many books in my opinion and because books exist I am remotely sane. I mean I love having movies and television. But having books makes me happy. Currently I’m reading the Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides which I will discuss in a later entry. It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini – how great is that title? And don’t even get me started on that cover. I mean its wonderful. I love it. And I want it. But only if it is that cover. If it is the movie cover I will scream. Not that I have anything against the movie itself I just despise movie covers. Especially when the books has another cover that looks like that. I mean it just makes me want to buy it, and isn’t that the job of a book cover. To grab your attention and make you pick the book up? And not because there on the cover says (now a motion picture). Barf. I’ve seen the movie and enjoyed it. But now I want to read the book to compare and contrast. Second book, is called The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis – yes another book that has its own movie. Grrr but what can  I do about it? Some books need to be made into a film for the greater good of artistic expression. This film was made in 2oo2 and I’ve never watched until now. Because of the book. I was browsing through the shelves at Hastings and discovered the book and then proceeded to look it up once I got home. I read a few pages and now I must finish reading it. The movie was interesting and might hold out in a compare and contrast but we shall see which is better. Ok on to number 2. Bikes- not just any bikes but adorable old fashion mint green bikes. How freaking adorable it that bike? I haven’t owned a bike in quite awhile but it doesn’t stop me from hoping, one day I own one that looks like that. These bikes have gotten pretty trendy, and yes I have fallen victim to the call of the trend and now I want one. XD Ok on to 3. Boots!!! I have been looking for a nice pair of boots since last year. And I found some at JCpenny this weekend. I had hope they would be a little taller but these are so pretty. I stopped myself from trying them on so I would want them even more. But its safe to say that even though I didn’t try them on I still want them just as much if had. Number 4. Teal Rose bag from Jo Totes– I know I’ve mention this bag many time before. I still love it! What more can I say? Number 5. Sweater from Target–  Who doesn’t love Target? They have best selection in bags and clothing. And the best graphic tees. But this is a cardigan that I thought was pretty and you can never go wrong with having more than one gray cardigan. Its my number one color choice when purchasing sweaters or jackets. Unless there is a pretty teal. Last but not least number 6. You’re working Wonders Dress from ModCloth– Dying from cuteness!!! I really wish I could try this dress on once just to see if I looked as cute in it as it looks on my computer screen. I mean it might not even look good on me. I’d rather know then sit here pining for it. >.< Maybe one day I’ll find out. If I get over my issue with buying clothes online. I’ve never bought clothes online before because I like to try them on before committing to buying it. I have an in between sizes body type. It might fit perfectly on top but won’t fit around the midsection or vice versa.

Ok so I guess the pressure is starting to kick in. Must finish portfolio tonight because its due tomorrow!!!! >.< Wish me luck.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.

Whoever thought of this phrase must have either been depressed or extremely pissed off…or  just incredibly rude.  I mean really, why is being a teacher such a horrible job? I might consider going into teaching if I was a better student. But I’m not so therefore I wouldn’t be able to teach anyone. You know I’ve been looking for freelance writing jobs online and have found two that I plan on applying for. But first I need to type out a CV and cover letter. Of course I only have (this much) to put on a resume. Three years of college and what do I have to show for it? I’m not even close to being done and the fear of failing keeps getting to me. I never used to fail before so why now? Why when its so important that I pass does my brain decide to go on holiday?

I’m ready to start my life.

And I can’t do that if I keep failing in it. I know that life isn’t supposed to be easy but come on! I’m tired of holds, I’m tired of prerequisites, I’m tired of not having a license and not having at least a part time job. I’m just tired. Why can’t things just simply fall into place? I’m running behind and its so frustrating. I can’t even get my love life on track. Not that, that is my top priority at this point but I thought it was at least forming…its not. I’m getting a headache just thinking about my nonexistent social life. -.- Pathetic.

Side note- I’ve been frantically looking for the pen I usually have on my desk and just gave up looking when I go to scratch  my head and realize that I put the pen in my hair. -.- I’m losing my mind. Time to paint something.

“Those who can’t think spout cliches.”

So Halloween weekend was so much fun. Everyone dressed up in costumes and we just played games and danced and took pictures. It was great.

We were on a budget this year so I decided to make costumes this year. They had to be simple, so my sisters and I decided on non princess fairy tale characters. Mija and Jody were Alice and the Mad Hatter, I was Little Red, and Kat was Bo Peep. In order for it to be simple I was only going to make accessories (ie aprons, and bows).
I ended up making more than I thought and I’m so happy I did because they came out so great!!!  I love learning new techniques and my skills are definitely improving. I practically made my entire costume excluding the shirt. I did very little for Kat’s and Jody’s, but what I did make was still nice. It’s hard to choose which item I loved making the most, but if I had to pick I would say all the bows I made. I had to make Mija a giant bow for the back of her apron. And I was able to make it stay up with Velcro. I felt very clever. I update more about the costumes on MS. I even made a headband and apron for Emily. She went as Goldilocks. Thankfully she had brought some extra craft stuff to make herself an apron. But all I needed was something to tie the apron in the back and she bought some trim that was perfect for the job. I was really proud of my work and I wish I took more pictures. Of us in the costumes. But I’m excited to out do myself next year. Of course I feel like having costume parties shouldn’t just be for Halloween. I really enjoyed making them and think we should have a costume party every now and then. XD The next one should be Assassins Creed themed, or better yet video game themed. Yeah I would totally have fun making costumes.

It was such a great night. Great food, great costumes and great company.

 So I haven’t updated in a while. Make a long story short…site got hacked. That is why I haven’t updated my blog. But its been too long and I have to update now.

So the new semester has started. I have 3 classes this semester and so far so good. I also have started my first semester as an EA for Gulf Coast.  I’m basically their bitch but I don’t care because I’m loving every minute of it. So it almost feels odd trying to blog again after not blogging for an entire almost month. >.<

RANT!!!

I’m so tired of things just disappearing. My gmail inbox just decided to erase like 5 years worth of email. Yes its read email, but if I ever needed something I could just search and find it. Email is really handing. I didn’t delete said emails because they are important. I have the past few weeks emails on my cell. But still 5 years? This is almost as bad as my 3yrs of blog entries being erased. But not as bad. Hopefully I will just log on one day to find that they have returned. But odds are…they are gone. -.- Just when I think the internet and I have made up it goes and does something like this. I guess its trying to get back at me for getting a smart phone. pffft Electronics will be the death of me.

Rant over.

Just like a rant to help me get back into the swing of blogging once again. Hopefully I can get a new layout soon for my blog, its time for a change. (hint hint..pokes at Mija) So school is going great so far, I’ve been having a lot of fun. I’m trying this new thing of being more social. But sadly its hard to put myself out there. But I plan to keep making an effort, I wish talking to my classmates wasn’t so difficult. I mean talking to them during a discussion is one thing but talking to them outside of that atmosphere is tricky. I’m not exactly sure why I’m incapable of doing so but I am. -.- sucks.  So I turned 22 this month, no real change. But besides getting a new cell phone I had the chance to attend the Star Wars exhibit here in Houston at the health museum. It was AMAZING!!! It was one of the best birthday gifts ever and I had a lot of fun. I got to see original costumes from the movies old and new. I was in such awe throughout the whole day. I even learned how to put my hair in Leia buns. I just had to do it for the day. I also made myself a skirt out of the same Star Wars sheets I used to make my messenger bag. XD  My family joined me on this Birthday Extravaganza and we each wore Star Wars shirts to celebrate the event. Before going to the museum, we ate Bánh mì sandwiches for lunch. Soooo good and reasonably priced for such a big sandwich. :9 So had a great birthday as always. Mija and Jody also bought me a gift card to Joann’s Fabrics. I can’t wait to go busy some new fabric. We are dressing up for Halloween this year  because we are having a Halloween party. ^^We are going to be rejected fables this year. I’m going to be Little Red Riding Hood, Kat is going to be Bo Peep, and Mija will be Alice. I just need to make us aprons and maybe skirts and a hood for me. I’m excited to get started.  Well I have a ton of home work to get done this weekend. -.- Its the same load of work every week. I don’t know how I’d do it if my classes weren’t once a week.

Well I’m off to try and write. And then get some sleep so I can wake up a bit early and clean the house. :/ I hope I can get back to blogging like normal. >.<

So not in the mood to study. One being its math and it sucks, two being it is the cruelest punishment in the world. And lastly, its math and it SUCKS!!!

So I just realized that I only have 2 weeks of summer left, and then its back to Houston for college. >.< My last day of Summer school is August 17th and then I leave for Houston that weekend. I should start packing huh? I just need to pack up my clothes. That is really all I brought with me and my sewing machine. Packing sucks. :/ I’m really going to miss being home. My home in Houston is great, but I just love my small home town. Its so small and comfortable. But there are some things in Houston that I actually miss. Besides my loving roommates (Tomo and Missy) jk Mija and Jody, I’ve really missed PotBelly and Berripop. The best sandwich shop and frozen yogurt joint in Houston and also my favorite places. >.< I’ve missed them so. So the whole license before 22 plan didn’t work out. I turn 22 this September and my mom doesn’t like me driving her Yukon. And I can’t take the driving test without practicing so that dream is once again on hold. But at least I’m comfortable driving a car. I’m way closer then before, so that is something I guess. -.-

[RANT] You know what I hate more than anything? Math..yes but no another thing I really hate is deleting a file when I need it and recording a whole blog and then losing it only to find it and then realizing that my bra is in the background so therefore making it unusable. -.-  So I decided to make a video using the footage I shot the other day of me painting. However I deleted one of the best shots by accident. I don’t even remember deleting it, so that really sucks a ton of ass. >.<  BLEH I just wanted to make a vlog! Why is it so difficult?! [Rant over]

Back to original thought.I can’t believe the summer is (essentially) over. Plus my math final is next week. >.< I’m scared plus this Thursday is the second test and I don’t feel prepared at all. Test 2 is only over chapters 5 and 6 but that’s 10 sections. O.o And I know maybe 1 out 10. I really really hate math with a passion. Why can’t it just go away?!!!  Ok enough about stupid math. So I’ve been wanting to make a new layout for my blog, seeing as its been 2 years I think its time for a change. So I’ve been painting different flowers trying to get inspired on how I want my new layout to look. I have an idea in my head but I don’t know how to get it out of my head. So I’m sort of in a stand point. Hoping something will come to me. But realistically speaking my designing skills are crap. But speaking of designing skills, Mija made me some stationary which couldn’t come at a more perfect time. I signed up for a pen pal here. This is just a fun way to meet people who have the same hobbies as you do. Plus snail mail is a dying art that should be revived.   It matches my extra blog that I needed for English one semester but since I no longer need it for class I have no idea what to use that space for. Right now I should be studying for a math test that I have tomorrow. But I’m already falling asleep. Kat made pizza and I had like 5 slices so now I’m ready for a nap. >.< Math class is so stressful right now, after I finally understand something we move on to the next section and then I’m lost again. I really wish I had the same math teacher that I had last summer. He was the only person who could actually teach me. But he doesn’t have the right degree to teach college algebra. >.< So  now I’m freaking out, I have my final next Wednesday and that will be over every chapter we’ve covered. I already know the out come of tomorrows test and next weeks final. And to top it all off. I also have an eye exam on Thursday that I have to worry about. I hate getting my eyes checked. I seriously have anxiety over it and can’t sleep the night before the visit. Eye drops I can handle its when they try to take the eye pressure. My eye freaks out every time it gets too close. But I really need new glasses and in order to do that I must get my eyes examined first.  I hate it almost as much as I hate math. But for now I will only panic and stress over math, and then once Wednesday passes I’ll stress over my eyes. And then its back to worrying about math because it likes to be the cause of all my problems. (stupid math) I think my hell would be a never ending math class…either that or having to take eye exams over and over again. I cringe at the thought.

Ok enough about that, now I must make some attempt to study. -.- Wish me luck.

So I’ve recently learned how to make messenger bags, thanks to this tutorial. I made one for Mija’s birthday and it came out so amazing. I’m really proud of it and now must make one for myself and Kat. This is a project I definitely must make for the MS etsy store.

Tuesday and Wednesday I spent some time with friends, Missy’s baby can now hold his head up and crawl a bit so I can actually interact with him. XD Babies make me nervous but when they are older I can actually hold them and play with them. Jaxson is a lot heavier then I thought he would be, lol but he is still so cute that you can’t help but want to hold him. I love when they come to visit me. So going back to the whole messenger bag, I turn to the mighty inter webs in search for the perfect fabric. Kat wanted an Alice in Wonderland themed bag but not the Disney version. So I found this Japanese fabric that is just perfect for her. Its so cute, and was much easier to find/buy than the fabric I want. :/ I found this on eBay for a lot less and bought it before someone else did. >.< The other listings that I had my eye on were auctions. And I really dislike bidding. So I found one for buy now, plus the one I purchased was for a full size bed. The other ones were for twin, so this way I get more fabric.  So here is what I wore last Tuesday, Kat took pictures of me. I really wish I could take a nice jump picture, mine always come out odd looking. One day I will take an awesome jump picture….one day. I should actually wish to be more photogenic in every picture someone takes of me. >.< I feel like now that my teeth are becoming straight my face doesn’t know how to smile sincerely any more. >.< I know that sounds odd but its  true. I notice that my smile in pictures look so fake. But I am smiling sincerely….I thought I was anyway. The only way to remedy this problem is to return to my closed mouth smile or to not smile at all in pictures. -.- Either that or learn how to smile a less fake smile.  lol So Mija is in NOLA this week with Jody. They are visiting his family, and she left her car at home for an entire week. XD I get to drive it. But by that I mean, I can only drive it in our neighborhood and to school which is just across the street. But that’s two days I don’t have to walk in the heat. YAY! I’m a bit nervous, but strangely confident. I have to practice parking though before I’m allowed to drive it to school. If mom doesn’t like like my parking then I can’t drive it. So I must practice first. But I feel like I can do it. And confidence is key right? So I must remain positive. >.< I wish Mija would just leave her car here for the rest of the summer so I can practice on it and use it to take the driving test. (wishful thinking I know) Mom took it to work today, I wish she didn’t because then I could be practicing now. :/ The minute she gets home she is taking me driving. I can’t waste another day of car week not driving the car. lol Man I’m ready for a nap now, waiting for mom to get home is going to take forever and I suddenly feel very sleepy. XD I have things I want to get done today but I can’t accomplish anything if I’m sleepy.

List of things…

• draw/paint for new blog layout
