Ear Cuffs! and then some! O_O

Hi all!!!

Well, been a while since I've made a post! I'm going to start making ear cuffs for my shop :D

I think this will be fun for everyone that's told me they love my work but don't have pierced ears! (Plus a less painful alternative to those pinchy clip-ons!) I'll have designs up some time before the weekend. Might just be sketches to start out with and then the actual thing.

Anyways, right now I'm getting ready for the school year to start up for the spring semester AGAIN. I honestly can't wait because I'm taking 15 hrs this semester and I haven't been a full time student for a while just because I've been worrying about work and health insurance forever! I'll finally be finishing something and then moving on with my Architecture degree. YAY!!!

Last week was a fun week. We went to New Mexico for a snowboarding trip, plus Charles' birthday with his family. Shawn came with us and that was strange...ish, but still fun. It was just because it was like a family trip and he ended up being kind of a third wheel... cause he's not technically considered family... and didn't stop talking about Beth... Yeah, a lot of us know, he's obsessed with her, but he complained about how she was his girlfriend and then ditched him within a 24 hr period. To me it was no big surprise. Honestly, all of us have been telling him to ditch her and stay far away for about 3 yrs now. So, I don't think any of us really will shed a tear for his sob story.

I also hurt my tailbone, right knee, ankle, elbow, wrist and shoulder! Charles told me at least I hurt it in a cool way. HAHAHAHA!!! This I must agree with because it's a fun story to tell people when they ask me. I know, I'm a dork. But what happened was I was coming down a slope and then caught bad ice. It totally sent me flying. Now, as I fly through the air all I can think of is, "Oh crap... This is going to hurt so bad..." and yes, it did hurt like hell because I didn't just smack the ice. I BOUNCED OFF MY BUTT!!! and then flew down about 3 more yards and smacked the ice. I never knew it was really possible for someone to bounce off of their rear end since I had only seen it in cartoons, but it totally is. LOL Cause it happened to me!

I started growing my own herbs at home. Hopefully they start to sprout in about a week or so and I can show them off and be like mmmm freshness!!! :D

If it goes well and I prove not to have a black thumb then I might start growing some veggies at home. 2010 has proven to be exciting so far and quite expensive so I'm trying to cut down anywhere I can and if growing my own produce that I usually buy with exception to Shitake Mushrooms will help me save and give me some yummy fresh things to munch on then so be it! I'm very excited about finally growing my own fresh things because I haven't had a garden in a looong time. In fact, my back patio area, instead of being flower filled is barren due to neglect on my part, but I blame work! (and icey cold weather that has forced me indoors.)

I think that might be it for now, I'll probably think of more things to put in here later on today.

Love, Peace, and Tofu Please!
