What to be for Halloween

Guys!!! I don't know what to be for Halloween this year! Or what to do! I need ideas, and places to be! Right now I'm leaning toward Max from Where the Wild things are, which means making my very own body suit (whoo!) and buying lots of fur fabric ahah. I can't think of anything else that would be interesting and fun and tomarrow is my trip to Eau Claire for fabric...

Well I guess I oughta...

Things have been good, apartment living is awesome! I love having actual responsibilites even if they sometimes suck. School is alright, not too hard but not too easy either ha! I do have some great news that I don't think I've shared yet though..

1. Last year Cariss, Ellie, and I took Fashion Industries together and for a final project had to create either a product, line, or store. Our group decided to do ramped up 50's swimwear. The concept was basically convertable swimwear with a 50's style to it. The store was called Gidget after the 50's surfer girl icon. Well apparently our teacher liked the idea so much she wants us to do an independent study next semester to actually MARKET the idea. I don't know where it will go but were going to see if we can really get the Gidget line out there! how cool!!! We are all super psyched to be doing this and out of live 11-15 groups there was only one other group she liked enough to do the same thing with! haHA! oh it feel awwwwwesome.

2. I wanted to wait for sure before announcing this but get your whiskers twitching. Me and Annie have been considering fostering kitties, but recently one of her friends moved and might not be able to keep her cat at her new place so she needs someone to watch it. Me and Annie volunteered, so we might be getting a cat! It won't be for forever but we decided it would be a good tast of what life would be like if we adopted a kitty (which we are considering). I'm so excited! So be jelous cat lovers hhahahahaha.

This year will be a busy one for sure, but so far I'm lovin it and not in a fatty McDonalds way...which story time! Neal (apparently that how he spells his name) is no longer a vegetarian so me and him went to Burger King to chow down on some meat. Man, I really don't like fast food (except Taco Bell and McDonalds Pies) which I realized is a really good thing. screw you bad food. Of course I keep making cookies soooo....meh. I closed for the first time at work yesterday too, not bad at all. None of the supervisors are there so everyone does like the minimum amount of work and pretty much just does their homework most of the night. I like working weekends because it gives me more of a chance to talk with co-workers and not feel guilty about it so I finally get to know people. I like that.

one sucky thing

I like line but I've drawn so much recently I can't stand it anymore. To get a taste, I've already spend one night up drawing till 3:30 in the morning. blech. oh well I'm getting used to it. haha.

Time Keeps On Slippin'.....

Whew! Time seems to be moving by fast. First things first I have a wonderfully cute story to tell you. As I've told you before Annie's boyfriend Neil went to India for five months. He left about a week ago, but yesterday Annie got a call from him FROM CHICAGO! Yep, he has flown back to the U.S. to be with her again. I wasn't with Annie when she got the call but she came out of her room crying to tell me the news. It was soooo sweet! You know it's true love when two people can't spend a week apart! So now I live with a couple, it's not so bad really and BONUS! Neil going to help us pay bills so I save! (hopefully). Me and Annie (and probably Neil) are also thinking about volunteering at the local Humane Society and possibly becoming a foster home for kitties! I really want to do that! I'm so excited! Classes are going ok, just starting the first full week of school. I'm trying to stay ahead of classwork which is going pretty well so far. Op! class time!

And So Classes Begin...

Well classes began today, nothing too bad, my Basic Merchandising class sounds like a lot of research (ugh!) but hopefully it won't be too hard. Everything's going to be picking up now, whoo! It may not sound like it beacause I haven't been updating much but I am happy to be back. Living with Annie is turning out be an AWESOME decision. We get along really well and are both very sharing people. We have agreed to go grocery shopping together and each of us cooks 3 meals a week, for which I am excitited to learn recipes and stuff. Both of us also want to slim down so were trying to cook and buy healthy goods. It's alot easier if your not the only one trying to diet. I think living with her will be really fun and since we have our own spaces to retreat to when we need to it shouldn't be so in your face as the dorms. I love not having to eat campus food!SuperPlus Annie (and Neil) love Rowdy! And hopefully and get even more involved with stuff. This year I'm hoping to join Threads (Stouts Knitting and Crocheting club) and go to church more (I found out that I live right across the street a UCC church-the religion I grew up with!) so it should be fun to do that, I love exploring and questioning faith, where better to do it?! I started work today too, there were quite a few changes over summer but I'm quickly getting my form back I got to work desk today for two hours so that was nice. I love work circulation desk, makes me feel like a librarian. I always liked that feeling. Too bad I'm too lazy to get my Master's or I might actually think about it. haha

Well I ought to go, want to catch Annie before she leaves for work.

Checking In

Hey just checking in, things are starting to pick up here. Classes start in 2 days (Wednesday) whoo. Annie moved in yesterday and Neil (her boyfriend) who was also going to live with us has sadly left to visit India for FIVE monthes. It amazes me really how he has the strength to do this alone, I feel bad for Annie, Lord knows she'll miss him so very badly. I'll be sure to be there by her side. haha. Getting books tommorrow, should also by more supplies for class but probably won't right away. Gah, I really wish I had more interesting things to say but I really don't right now. Except this-Living in an apartment is awesome and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love it I really do.

Back In Menomonie

Ok, I know, I didn't write all summer, I really didn't think anyone would notice, and they didn't so I win. Sunday I drove back to Menomonie by myself, it really wasn't that bad of a drive the first hour went by incredibly fast, yea, it would have been more fun if I had someone to talk too (Rowdy doesn't count he doesn't talk back) OH! yes that's right you may or may not know about Rowdy the small painted turtle I caught this summer and gave to my friend, who couldn't keep it so gave it back to me! I call him Rowdy, and amazingly care for him a lot. You wouldn't think a turtle would have much of a personality but Rowdy does! I love having a pet again, something that take away a bit of the loneliness. I actually beat my roommate back so for now the apartment is all mine, which wouldn't be so bad except that right now I have like NO food, ugh, I should go food shopping tonight, watch me blow it off again haha. I was supposed to go last night but I didn't. This week is going to pretty lazy for me, because I've got like nothing I HAVE to do! whoo! Can't you tell since I'm like writing about nothing? I've got this strange urge to write but I don't know what about. Lots of things have been on my mind lately weird things too. blech. Well I ought to go, just wanted to make sure to the world of noboby who reads this stupid thing I'm not dead. Not yet. haha Not for a long time. I think...haha! enjoy your day, I 'll be doing the same!
