Finally Wednesday....

Well the "big" project is handed in... which still leaves me with... 7 small projects... and a couple of tests... why did I think I was almost done!?! Thankfully I took tomorrow off work and will sit around rendering and drafting, and painting... because everything needs to be done for the 9th...

My computer has been acting funny lately, Brendan updated everything last night and then my sound drivers weren't working so I did this "roll back" technique to revert to the old ones and everything was fine until Windows Explorer had to shut down... I restarted, made a back up of my photos and went to sleep on the couch for 4 hours... so now naturally I'm grumpy as hell and have a newsletter to write... maybe I'll just pretend my computer is broken ;)

Got a large box of new stuff for the store, that I carried home even though it had a sticker on it saying it weighed over 50 pounds... which I doubt! So I have to find room for all of that too, wish me luck over the next few days, December 9th may just get here faster then I hoped!

Where did my mind go?

Maybe now I know how it feels to age. Lately I feel like I have spent so much time rendering, drafting and working on perspectives that my mind seems to be going to mush. I don't feel challenged mentally; only half of my brain is being used.

My English skills are lacking, French is getting even worse and I should just wave goodbye to my Italian. Only 2 weeks left until winter break and since I wont be working my ass off like I do in the semester I have high hopes about re-educating myself in 6 weeks or less.

I need to find some books in Italian, get a perspective tutor, and read a few English books I've had piling up, do a few watercolors just for myself, and start and finish a wedding album for some very patient friends.

Between you and me (because I think only one person reads my blog) ;) I’m pretty lonely. I feel like all I do is school work and I rarely see friends. I’ve been busy planning my imaginary wedding and realized that aside from my sister who would my bridesmaids be? Brendan is insisting that his sister would be one, but I don’t really feel that bond with her. I may use it as a bargaining tool though, because I would like Dan to be a groomsman.
I have plenty of long distance friends, but who do I have here to go eat sushi with, to talk about guys with, to go to bars with (because I do that so often… not!) and do all those things those crazy ladies on Sex in the City would do. If I’m Carie who is my Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte?

Maybe it's thinking about my non-existant wedding in such great detail which is rotting my brain... a girl can dream right?

Online Crop!

I love online crops at Star Mosaics. We put a lot of TLC into each game and challenge and love seeing the great creations the members come up with, it's truly inspirational!

We have some great challenges this month, and we're so close to 200 members... lucky number 200 wins a 12x12 BasicGrey album!

Hope to see you there!

Pink!

Ok, it's no secret that I LOVE PINK... great color :) My printer is low on ink, only one cartridge though... the magenta one :) Too funny!

I've been feeling really motivated the past couple of days despite my cold, tonight I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the bathroom, did a load of laundry, put away two loads of laundry and baked some cookies :) Just call me Martha ;)

The one thing I can't scrap...

I've scrapped a few pages about my grandmother. All of them were OLD pics of her, black and white... she looked some different.

For the longest time I've been trying to scrap a page with a picture of her and I as a baby, or her at her last birthday... and I just can't. I freeze up, I'm too afraid. My inspiration is lost
