November update

so i finished "Living Dead in Dallas" "Club Dead" about to finish "Dead to the World" next up "Dead as a Doornail"

Since my last update all I've been working on is a sweater yea from 10-6 to nearly 10-15 I should be done within the next day or so. Dang it kinda makes my breast look to big, oh well its my first sweater.

I never did the craft show on the 23rd my friend went and she said even less people came. glad i didn't waste gas or 20$ booth fee. I'm going to give away half of my crafted items for gifts the boxes there in is taking up to much space.

We moved into an apartment in Belleville,MI . Its only like 5 miles from our old place. But its smaller, so i don't have a cool craft room anymore. i have a closet and i can't fit it all in so its spilling into the bedroom.

I was going to quit my job at panera but they wanted me to stay so i work like two days a week. and Toby just got a job at another panera . I'm hoping that my second job can be used to save or pay off my debts. but you know with life things happen all the freaking time, that steals your money.

oh yea i found the new musical love of my life Fiona Apple. i know i'm way late to that party, but i love her music

a busy bee

Man i haven't been crafting as much as i used to .I've been reading alot. i finished up "dead until dark" and i'm reading "living dead in dallas" . I've also been working alot.

I'm planing on doing another craft show on october 23. I've still got lots of items from the last show. An i've made a few more items. lots of hats and i'm working on snowflakes.

heres all the items that i've finished lately.

quest bag love

ok, im on a quest to find a pattern for a crocheted shopping bag. thats easy right. but i want one that doesn't stretch to my knees when its full. and in most of the patterns they try to sell this as a good thing. im not sure why, maybe i'm just odd.

i tried to make up my own pattern but it just looks like a basket, so i stopped. i'm going to frog and try a real pattern.

yesterday i worked with metal. i got a few things worked on. not finished just worked on.

i work on my birthday isn't that just sad. i mean i wasn't going to do anything, but still goodness. so i got a new job. i wanted this job to be right after i got off work at kmart. but that didn't work out. i'm working nights. so im missing all of my craft groups. and toby is already getting tired of driving me around. which i why he should have the second job not me. he is working on getting a better job so that i don't have to work two.

gold stars

So i don't know who came up with this idea. you remember back when you where in first grade and you would get stickers on your paper. And the older you got the less you wanted stickers on you paper. well just think about a store full of grown people walking around with gold stars on a blue ribbon.

at my job they wont us to hand out cards to customers so they can write about us online. yes thats just what i want to give out my name so that people can,judge me.

hair

I DC my hair while it was in braids. left it in for about an hour. i undid the braids and finger combed my hair. i rinsed my and put in large braids.

i've been trying to stretch my hair with large braids. it doesnt really stretch them that much . its a lot less painful then banding.

Life: I got hit on hard core. I dont like it when men are aggressive with it. Tell me i look nice and go. He followed me around the store had is friends try to talk to me. Asked me for an application just so i would have to talk to him. Then when I think there gone he pops up will im in the open area bagging chips. I told him i had a boyfriend, and i guess his friends where getting tired of his silly game so they left.

Come on now were not in high school we dont need to play the lets flirt with the girl and make her think shes pretty the laugh at her game, I hate that game.

I might have to look and see if i can download there CD

An I cant stop this feeling anymore

Life: I was so nervous about my interview today. I got all dressed up, and knitted and played on my ball which helped, until i got into the building.

I met with lisa, who was nice, then she goes you should be interviewing with the store manager not me. So i wait for him for about 5-10 minutes. He was really nice and we talked about all the things that i did for work my hobbies. i realized that i like to run around at work and he told me that office max is a different crowd then my other jobs. He seemed really ok with everything that i could do and have done. Then he also tells me that he is just a replacement manager and he needs to talk to the real one and see what the hours are like. So i dont know if i have the job or not. I have to wait for a call.

Knit: I rediscovered craftster and I want to do some of the challenges. The hat that i was making is the size I want my waist to be. So instead of getting upset, about making the hat to big. Im going to make a skirt.
rules and the one im working on is Selfish, Selfish - Knitting to pamper yourself

I found my fit to strip DVD. I did girls next door kendra workout 10 minutes, standing abs 10 minutes, and bootylicious bun 10minutes.

When i was trying to do leg exercises with my left leg it keep feeling like i was going to pull something so i had to keep stopping .
~~~~~~~~

Stop right there thank you very much

I'm sorry if I didnt say that this is more then a fitness blog. I just couldnt keep up with three blogs and journals. my hair, life, and fitness are all in here.

Work went great. I've been working on a project that no one told me to do. So I hope that will get me points.

I went to my interview. I didnt practice my answers at all. but I think that they felt my realness, that way. They want to offer me more hours and more money.It went really well. Now i have an interview with the store manager. So I dont know if i have the job yet. I wore my hair in a high puff, with black dress pants and a black button down shirt. I had to borrow shoes from Maria (Maria is toby's mom we live with her).
~~~~~~~~~~
I finally finished the scarf I've been working on for weeks.now im working on a purse for my mom, its already messed up but im not giving up. she doesnt know the pattern.
~~~~~~~~~~
If you havent had a boca breakfast burrito try them. the wrap is not the best but the filling is great.

15min bike

15min elliptical

never make plans

I pumped up my new exercise ball. Then went jog/running on the treadmill for a 1/2 an hour. until my boyhead came in and said I was offered hours working in twenty minutes.

So i went in to work and it was hella busy all day. I didnt even get a break. an i was mentally dead by the end of the shift. i could barley count my draw without messing up.

So I barley wanted to my hair but i needs to be done. Then i thought about banding. So I read about it and i hope i did it right.

you can look

So next to nothing that i planned happened. Here to hoping for better tomorrows

Yay! L Word in just a few minutes

left right

I worked out yesterday. I did cardio striptease (i like sexy work outs) and standing abs.

I love off the floor ab work outs. my neck hurts when i do crunches so i just stopped doing it.So i need to find more workouts like this.

I need to work on my diet. i'm really getting off track.

yesterday Toby and I made ice cream and cookies.

I called office max today and talked to Alvin I have to call back friday to set up an interview.

I cant wait until i can go food shopping. theres not much here that i want to eat.

I wish i could get Toby to work or diet with me, I need a buddy :(

there is no need to say you love me

Some time I just don't know. my boyfriend Toby is so insecure. I'm training this girl named julia. Julia is a very cute girl but im just not that into her, all the guys and heidi are.

So Toby is all saying that im going to leave him for her. I like julia because shes cool, and shes younger. all the women that i work with are in the late 20's and up. So now i have to do damage control with toby.

~~~~~
for the past couple of days I havent been working out and not eatting that great either. We have little to no food in the house and we wont until next week. An maybe not even then because of the school and car.

I really need to work out a little.they last time I did it was dancing.my sides were a little sore but that was good. an im down to 130 yay!

Thats just the kind of girl I am

So I told my manger/friend Katey about the office max offer. She is all about me trying to get the job. An the guy even came back raving about me. So later on that night i applied online. Will just see what happens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I worked out today
bike 5 minutes
rowing 3
yoga 15
treadmill 3.4 speed 1mile

Im off work today and I dont know what to do with my self.So i guess i will just do my hair and knit. Im not aloud to spend any money. which is my favorite habit. because we are looking to get a car this week. I'm tyring to talk toby into letting me buy a few things. because i need my fresh or even canned fruit and veggies.

stairs

yesterday~
I worked both of my jobs. my legs killed me for the first three hours of working. An I walked down stairs funny.

At chipotle it was a little better. I was feeling great mentaly. An I got offered a job at office max. I think its because of my smile and how bubble I was that day. Im not going to apply for the job though becuase I already have two, and i dont think I would be good at that one.

Today~ so far to day i've eatten under 1000 calories so i dont think i need to work out. but maybe I'll try a little yoga or something
