AND it starts..

Yes I have been absent for awhile. BUT I have started school so it's a perfectly logicial absence.

There are a lot of people in the class who prob shouldn't be there, but I feel really at ease. I'm on the "Main" station this week, and I've been kicking butt (not taking names though..). I'm pretty proud of myself for finally getting this thing going and being able to support myself through school and all. I'm pretty lucky I have a good head on my shoulders ya know?

Anyway I love class it's a lot of fun, and learning about cooking is pretty awesome. SO much better than the Food Network. =]

Here's one of the things I learned to do:

It's an apple swan, can you tell? I thought it was inventive!

So once I get my camera battery charged I can post more pictures of my daily stuff - but right now time is a high priced commodity! I get up at 6am and I am usually at school around 6:30-6:45am to get ready for the day. Then I run like hell all day cooking and learning, and get out of class at 2:00pm. I then get to go home and eat, rest, and change before heading off to work at Snap Fitness from 4pm-7pm. OH YEAH! I have to fit like 2-3 hrs of studying in before bed at 9:30pm... =] Prettttyyy crazy, but it makes the days go by pretty darn fast if you ask me.

I got my business cards in today! They are pretty amazing. Totally me, ferrshhhh. =] My "company name" is really more of a mission statement. It is "À moitié plein " which is a French saying meaning "The cup is half full". That's the way I've been trying to look at things lately. Jon doesn't like Negative Nancy, so I've had to pull out Optimistic Opal =]. I think it's pretty awesome, what do you think?

Anyway, I have to go cook dinner now, but I'll put up some more pics of little projects I've been working on lately! =]

Farmville takes too long.

Started to play that game on Facebook - Farmville? You have to time when you play it to harvest your crops and I always forget about them! Ugh.. I wish it was like Sims where you could speed up time, and it stopped when you stopped playing. =[

Finished some cupcakes for people's birthday presents. They're so cute! Didn't take as long as the other stuff either. It will be fun to give them away.

I started to talk to Brandon about my tattoo last night, finally! I'm pretty excited about it. I hope he has time to get me in there. The only thing I'm worried about is it being overpowering on me. But Jon says I can pull it off, and Brandon will make it look super awesome soooo no more negativity.. haha

My house needs to be cleaned, and my laundry need to be folded, so I'm off to be domestic. Ugh. =]

Sandwich done!

Finally finished the sandwich for my "sack lunch"..


All the fixin's! Bread, cheese, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and bologna!

I think the pickle is my fav.

Watching my guilty pleasure show right now, America's Next Top Model..... They're modeling with the Wild Boyz... HA

Came up with some new ideas for the cafe I'm opening one day. Pretty excited about that. And also more ideas for my tattoo. But I can't post cuz I don't want anyone to steal them! Ha =]

Ben and Jerry's

Totally forgot.





Best invention EVER tribute to.....

The Ben & Jerry's pint coozie. Your hands don't get cold while your eating it. YES! Jon preceded to eat 3/4 of the pint after he realized this. Nice.

New to "blogging"

I'm so technologically behind. I've never blogged before so bear (bare?) with me.

Basically started this to share all the creative stuff I do, because I'm proud of myself for doing it! Didn't get to see Julie and Julia yet, and that's a darn shame. Prob would've helped me fig out how to do this better... Haha.

I'm kind of an 82 yr. old woman in a 21 yr. old body. I like to sit and sew things while I'm watching TV. So here are some things I've been working on lately...

First saw some woman's cute little pea pod amigurami and totally fell in love. These are the cutest little things I've ever seen. And they're so freakin easy to make! They are time consuming, but so worth it. It cost me $5 for enough supplies to make a whole bunch of different food objects.

Cute little "McDonald's" French Fries

Fried Egg
Vegas likes french fries =]

We got our pottery back from the Dancing Brush today! Everyone's looks really good.. I put pictures of them on my Facebook and they got some funny comments.... It was a successful activity though =].

Started a sandwich today so I'm off to finish it! More pics tomorrow..
