Just got paid

I earned the easiest $50 ever today. Okay, maybe I shouldn't announce that. I was babysitting this girls I've known pretty much their whole lives. They're crazy but I love them. Looks like, I can buy some metal. Oh yeah! Though, of course, I'm torn. There are so many supplies I want. I really want the metal though and I've been waiting for so long. I'm excited.

Blogs I Read

Blurble 6.29

I have a distint feeling I will use the title Blurble again. So I dated it this time.



Those potholders have 5 hearters. This suprised me. Of all the ones I've listed I was sure these would be among the first to get sold. But yet, here they are. None of the other sets have as many hearters and the ones that have sold weren't hearted at all if I remember correctly. To figure out the buying public. I need to take a class or something.

I got nice feedback today. From Flibbertyjibbet. She's currently a buyer only who loves potholders...at least from her feedback.
These pot holders are ever so delightful! I used them last night to pick up my pasta pot and drain it. Yay!

That made me feel good. I'm happy, she's happy.

Had theater today. One of these days I'll have to take the camera so I can post pics of the crowded, unventilated room I work in. It's fun, though. We didn't do much work. That might tick off the director ladies. *shrugs* Some things can't be helped.

Bits and Pieces and Ice Cream

[bit 1]
That's another of the random pics I took recently. I was thinking about it and I realized I've thought about pursuing photography for about 7 years. I just had crappy cameras to work with so I got annoyed and never did pursue it. Again, how good I am I'm not sure. But I enjoy it.

I saw a huge circle punch at Michael's today. I really wanted it. Not because I have anything to punch. But it was really cool. And I do want to start a second Etsy shop for photography and paper goods. Then I found a 50% off coupon on the floor. I left the punch there. It was $17. I couldn't swing that even with the coupon. I didn't buy any more beads either. I need to start carrying beads that I have with me. I just keeping buying stuff that doesn't really match what I have.

More thoughts on college. My mom's talking about how hard the school that's my top choice will probably be to get into. I don't know why she would say that. It's taken me 3 years to make up my mind. I'd have thought she'd let go of the realism for a little while. I have enough for both of us. My dad hasn't said much about it.

[ice cream]
We found so off-beat ice cream shack on Sunday. They give you a lot of ice cream but it's inexpensive and it tastes good. On Sunday I got a brownie sundae. Today I got a vanilla soft serve waffle cone. It was so yummy. I didn't need it. But it was sooo hot and the ice cream was sooo cold.

Today

It's crazy hot here. Okay, it's not Tempe or Orlando, but it's in the 90s. I didn't want to turn on my air conditioner because I didn't want them all running at once. So I went outside to swing.

We still have a swingset, though none of us are little children anymore. It's a freakin' mammoth set made of redwood so adults can swing too. For a few minutes I was a child again and it felt so good. Pumping back and forth, not worrying about theater (the directors are kind, well...mean) or choosing a college, or the books I'm trying to write or my Etsy shop. I just swung. Back and forth. It did have a cooling effect.

Then it started to rain so I came back inside. I stayed out for a little while though. (This I wouldn't have done as a child because my hair would have 'gone back'. Only a select group of people will understand that) It was nice. Relaxing.
