I love flamingoes :D
I had a lovely weekend! I spent tons of time with my fam and got some much needed rest!
Friday I got to visit my dad at work! It was really neat seeing where he worked, the last time I had been there I was probably like 16 or something.
Saturday I went to the race tracks with my parents, sister and her boyfriend and lost a bunch of money. Well not that much but I most definitely didn't win any! :D
And sunday I got to go out to breakfast with my best friends and then shop for my brother's wedding shower with my mom! I tried on these very lovely sunglasses. :D yay!
Tonight is going to be fun, sewing and reading are on the list for me!!

your smile was amazing, your apartment was tiny,
your arms and your back were all bruised
sometimes you wore glasses
that you didn't like over eyes that were sparkly blue
Baby and I are spending as much time together as we can so we don't miss each other too much when I move. I will have to write her letters and send her treats cause I know Ryan isn't going to buy her any.
So, I start the beginning of my last week at work. I am really excited for my last day to be Friday and that means my trip is 10 days away. Wow. I have been listening to the Falcon over and over and over. I just like it. All the c.ds I like are Ryan's so I am trying to get my fill. I am going to have to drop like a million dollars on music when I get back to Ohio. I guess I could buy blank c.d.s and make copies...
Today is the last day of the year. I am at work. I am seriously looking forward to a new year with new possibilities and all that sort of stuff. I will have to think up some resolutions. Well, maybe not cause I don't want to not do them just cause I said I was gonna. I definitely want to knit a sweater. So far that is all I got.
I sewed a bunch last night. Including this bunny. I need to set up a better picture taking deal.
I hope you have a lovely new years and all that nonsense. Have a great day tomorrow!

Sunday,
Goodness. I am having a good sewing day, and feeling pretty productive.
I wanted to make pizza sticks for lunch and I didn't have any yeast so I am out of luck. I have to take the very less appetizing choice of a tomato basil morningstar veggie burger. That is a lot of adjectives for one sandwich. At least I have pizza sauce to put on it. I don't really like veggie burgers all that much. They are ok and serve their purpose but they aren't that good.
I got some new fabric in Santa Cruz at Harts fabrics. I have wanted that wood fabric for a million billion years and could never find it. I didn't buy enough. Mostly cause I don't have money falling out of my pockets but there was so much fabric there I hadn't seen before so I had to buy a little bit of the other stuff I wanted. I shouldn't have though, I should have bought 800 yards of the these 4 fabrics and then I wouldn't feel so hoarde-y about it. I want to make a quilt for me out of the wood grain. And I don't ever want to use the gnome fabric. It is too soft and lovely.
I am feeling pretty good today, I am enjoying the silence of my apartment and the hum of my sewing machine. I am also going to force myself to enjoy this veggie burger cause my stomach was growling and something has to go in there!
Tomorrow is the first day of the last 4 I work in San Francisco. I am feeling pretty good about that! Hopefully everyone won't be mean and crazy.

This is how I feel today...
I can't get past the feeling of being so self concious today.
I am feeling like I had a super fun week off, but I am a weird in between time right now, less than 2 weeks till i leave to go back to ohio, it is too far away to pack but too close to not think about. I am thinking about things constantly and it is good in a lot of ways and scary in others. I just want to be back, for a million reasons. It is still going to be sad to leave. I am ready though I feel like i am stuck in a weird place with everyone I know. I feel like i am saying the same things to them every day and driving them nuts and driving me nuts too. I am just so anxious to leave and start figuring stuff out.
I had a great time with Danielle. She gets me in a small way that no one else that I know does and I think that is cool to get to meet people who have those things in common with you.
It is scary to go back to the place where I am from, where people already know me and have opinions about me and also don't know the person who I have become. I don't know if anyone is going to try and understand me as who I am now, I am sure they will. It is just a weird thing to think about. And trust me, I have tons of time to think. About horrible things happening, about super great things happening, about possibility of travel and fun and excitement. Everything I need right now. I am glad I can type this out right now because I really need to think this through in my head.
Don't get me wrong, this is the best plan I have had in awhile, I know it is the right decision, I am reminded of that more and more each day. I am just scared, mostly about silly things like, are people even going to want me around? But that kind of stuff is dumb, of course they will, its my family and my friends. And anyways, I have my business to work on too, and that is all so very exciting.
I am going to be positive about this, it is such a good thing for me. I need to keep telling those little voices in my heart and head to be nice and have confidence in myself. That is hard sometimes.
ahh thanks for letting me rant a little.

Santa Cruz is fun.
I went to hang out with the ever fun Danielle from Danielleorama.com yesterday and it was lovely!
When I got there, I got to buy some fabric from a real fabric store that wasn't Joanns. It was fun. I could have wondered around this shop for a million hours and spent tons of money. Luckily I was gonna drink so I tried not to spend a bunch of money.
After we went there, we ended up getting some coffee and walking around all of the fancy shops in Santa Cruz. There were lots of strange people and cool clothes. I wish I had more money cause I would have bought a ton of dresses. After coffee we had a gross dinner of Indian food, and walked to the bar. They told me it was a bar that only had beer and wine and maybe margaritas. I totally don't drink beer so it was weird to me and we got some tiny bottles of liquor and did shots in the bathroom. It was totally fun.
We had lots of fun. I stayed overnight and Danielle and her husband were nice enough to let me, and we played a video game where I had to play the drums and I sucked at it. I think it was called rock band.
Today Danielle and I had some fancy breakfast and dished about plush artists. It is fun getting to sit and talk with someone who really knows what I am going through with my art and also who knows how people treat stuffed toys. It was also neat to see that someone else thought the same about a lot of things. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next, she has some crazy talent, and I am always impressed with what she comes up with :D
I had a great time and am glad I went down there before I moved!

This photo is from yesterday
I fell yesterday. It was in the city and it was raining really bad and I slipped with my great traction waffle sole vans and fell really hard. I didn't really hurt myself too bad but man does my elbow hurt right now. It sucks.
Yesterday was pretty much a bust crafting wise, I just wasn't feeling staying at my house. I drove around and listened to music and bought some polyfil.
Today is going to be fun though, I am driving out to Santa Cruz to hang out with Danielleorama!! I can't wait. We are gonna have lots of fun.
I might sew a little before I drive out there. It has been nice this week sewing and listing from HOME!! :D
