Snow?

Yes, this past week we had snow here in Kansas, it wasn't a blizzard or anything like that.  It did stick for a few hours.  I did make a couple short video's on my iPad.  I must say that I'm impressed that my voice sounds female in these.  (I think that I usually sound like a 40 year old man!)




I'll post a larger update in the very near future!

October 4th

Today is October 4, I can't believe that September has already sped through.  I finished my Digital Design class a week ago, I got an A-!  Now it's on to Typography,  I'm really looking forward to this class, but I feel like it's going to be really hard.  At least this first week is a little overwhelming.

Here's our first real assignment.  (Our third day in class)

  

In other news, I accidentally dropped my phone, it's a LG Cosmos Touch.  It's not a smart phone, but still I don't have quite enough money raised to get the phone I do want to get.  It's not the end of the world, it still is functional and my upgrade will still be here in a month or so.

Hello, and happy Monday.

 Today I went to the doctor to hear that they can't do anything for me, money well spent! (for those who can't tell that was sarcasm) Although, I did get a refill on my muscle relaxer.

 Lately I've been wanting to do something more productive during my spare time, besides YouTube and Pinterest. So, I've been working more on my diaper cakes and creations. I really do enjoy it. Luckily, for me, it doesn't have to be that expensive since I know how to coupon and use clearance racks. I got lucky and the Carters outlet close to where I live were having big sales, door busters, and were having 25% off stuff already on clearance. I was able to get a big bag of stuff for less than $20, it would've easily been over $100 if it weren't for the great deals.

Down below is one of the cakes that I made awhile ago and a baby bootie rose.

What's UP?

No, I was not talking about that delightful movie that Disney/ Pixar made a few years back.  (I can't remember if it was Disney or Pixar, so I combined them)  Anyway UP! was a great movie, though terribly sad in the beginning.  I loved it!  What are your thoughts?  Already we are way off topic!


I had five days off last week, love having PTO, you know what I did?  Yep, not much.  I just got some much needed rest and got a lot of Christmas shopping done.

For Labor Day weekend my family got together and had a BBQ and played card games.  i.e. Apples to Apples.  My sister and brother in law got new phones and were showing my mom how awesome the cameras are on them.


Today I'm going to an emergency trip to the doctor's. Maybe we'll get some answers, but I'm thinking not. I'm also half way through my digital design class!

August 3rd

Hey, guys!


I know it's been about a month since I've updated.  I've had a lot of things come up this month.

First of all, I've been having some back problems.  I went to the clinic and got some pain pills and muscle relaxer.  I'm feeling quite a bit better, but I still have to do physical therapy.  I'm hoping to start PT this week.  I go back to the doctor at the end of this month, hopefully I'll get some good news.

Second,  I've started my illustrating class.  It's been enjoyable, they've had us do most of our work in Adobe Illustrator, which I need more practice in.  The only badish thing is that I'm not sure that I like my teacher, sometimes he's nice and other times he can be a dick.    Oh, and I also got to use my drawing tablet in last nights assignment.  Below is a sample of what I've been working on.


I've also came up with an idea for my other blog,  "kids of the past."  So, I'm hoping to get that blog updated as well.

June 13

I know that it's been awhile since I've updated.  Somebody walked out on work, so I had to pick up a lot of extra hours.  The paycheck was nice, but it did keep me super busy.

Last Sunday I bought Animal Crossing:New Leaf.  It is a ton of fun!  If you want my friend code leave me a comment, and I'll be sure to add you back.  Luckily, I had $32 in store credit so the game only cost me $4.   I also got Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon today.  I'm hoping to get started playing it tonight.

I also started a new class last week.  It's called Digital Photo Manipulation,  I just finished the first week yesterday.  So far, I'm enjoying it a lot. Some of my classmates don't know how to write tactful and helpful critiques.  Me, being the troll that I am, write them a critique just as tactless as the ones they wrote me.

I hope to be able to write more blog entries, since my work schedule is going to be back to normal starting next week.

My car

Oh, I'm just so frustrated with my car.  It's a 2001 Chevy Malibu and just isn't starting anymore.

A little bit of back story:  I  bought it about 3 years ago for 3,000 for Credit King.  It started out great, then about 6mos later it started to think that I was stealing the car. It was really annoying then my grandpa showed me how to trick it into letting me start it.   Now that battery is draining and nobody knows what's causing it.  This has happened 3 times the past two months.  It's getting very annoying.

My grandpa and uncle have worked so hard on it and spent a lot of money that now it feels like it's a money pit.  It just doesn't make sense to me to put any more money into it.  I'd really like to just sell it or scrap it to get some more money to put down on a new(er) car.  I'm not sure what to do.  What would you do?
