im a loser

so its been hard as heck trying to get all the information about this craft fair. i can't even get a call or email back from the orginazer. and my friend some how can, and never gets all of the info or just isn't telling me. this whole thing is a little frustating . she told me that i might need a tent in case it rains, so i guess that it's going to be out in a parking lot. let hope it's not bad out that day.  its also the day of toby and I's anniversary so yea.

i've been crafting up a storm for this things look
i made record bowls , picture frame earring holders, and price cards.
the record bowls are made like this .
the picure frame are made with an old lace curtain. its cut to be just a little bigger then the back piece of the frame. then you can glue it on i just shoved the back on and let a little hang over. it's not pro looking put it gets the job done.
the price cards took the longest. its made with consturtion paper, glue decrotive cutters if you got em. the paper is 12*9 so you can get 3*3 squares yay. glue two colors together. add a little edge to the front piece if you like. I got a stamper from vista printing, so i put my That1girl on the back of all the cards. and the price on the front in the area where your  name is. you can sew beads/ buttons to it. if you have post earrings you can just poke them though and put on the backer. or use a hole punch in the corner and string it to things.

i won a few ribbons at the county fair. unsure what to do with them now

craft fair

my friend Jessica told me that the church down the street from her is having a craft fair. I'm not to comfortable in churches.But the space is only 10$. and it will be a chance to sell some stuff and get my business cards out there.

i ordered cards from vista printing 250 card, a pen and a stamper all free, shipping 7.00$ and it will take up to 21 days to get it. I'm in no rush.

I've been working on making bangles from this tutorial . i used pop bottles and a hot glue gun.

Lent

I dont really have a religion. I was raised Christian and now dont believe or practice it. So this year i wanted to try to give something up for lent. I know nothing about it. It's just an excuse to ease into almost-veganism.

I want to give up dairy and eggs.
So I asked Toby if he would do it with me. An he gets all huffy about it all like (your the lactose intolerant one not me why should i have to give it up)
because i want you to
(why are you even doing it, you didnt want to be vegetarian a few weeks ago, now you want to be vegan, I know its not for the animals)

I got really upset.
and then his mom is all like
(why are you taking away the dairy and all that from him, he needs it, you can do what ever you want but dont make him, he needs it for his bone ,... bla bla bla) so tell her that he can get what ever milk has in it with silk, vegetable ,and other things.

she just ignored me.
But the part i was most upset about was that Toby didnt even back me up or anything.

So we went out into the hall and talked. Now he's just like fine i'll eat what ever you cook. but i'll eat cheese and other things if i want if i cook it, or go out to eat.

Now i just dont care, I just dont care. I'll go thought the veganess alone. :'(

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.

not the best vegetarian

thank you reflection for the link.
oxygen magazine
now i just have to find the right weights for me and not be afraid to do it in front of people. because i the fitness room is never empty for long. I really should buy some 10pound ones when I get paid again.

Im mostly a junk food vegetarian. but i love to go out to eat. All you have to do is ask if the food is pre-made (frozen and all they do is heat it up) or fresh. if its made fresh then you can change it up for the same price or cheaper.I went to arby's the other day and got an italian sub, and asked for it with out the meat, all the veggies and tops, an i got it for 1.50 less. Burger king around here makes veggie burgers with morning star mean.red robin, ruby tuesdays, for a 1$ more have there own burgers and there just as big as the real thing.

At home I will buy hambuger helper, and eat it with or with out veggie crumbles. Tacos with refried or whole beans. stir frys, you can buy the canned stuff or frozen vegetables of your choice,rice, and soy sauce. Mac and cheese, with home made or store brought mashed potatoes, and canned,frozen or fresh corn.

I also love boca, and morning star stuff. When i have extra money I go to whole foods, where they have a great selectional of veg*n stuff. An whole foods salad bar oh my tofu so soft and flavored, i love it.

veggie cheese is nasty to me, no flavor at all.
You can get tons of recipes in teen vegetarian books.
