Hello Again

Hello again! It has been awhile since I've been on here and I apologize for that. Life has taken over. I am now an actually hair stylist. I am still assisting the owner but I take clients now and I actually get to charge for my services which is awesome! The husby and puppy are doing great! I don't have much crochet stuff to share because I really haven't been doing much. I do, however, have a pretty large todo list in order for this weekend.

1. make cake plate

I've had the materials for months. I bought a couple of plain plates and candle sticks from the dollar store.

2. Rearrange my bedroom

I have lived in my apartment for more than a year now and the bedroom is in the exact same arrangement it was the day I moved in. Time to fix that.

3. Make more swiffer covers

I refuse to pay for these disposable swiffer pads when I can make something that works just as well.

I will be posting the tutorial for the cake plates, before and after pics of the bedroom, and a pattern to make the swiffer covers in the next week.

It is so good to be back!

out of touch

I feel completely out of touch here lately. And by lately I mean yesterday and today. I am just so irritable as soon as I walk in the door. I am so unhappy with my life. I am lazy and I hate being that way. Is self loathing enough motivation for me to get off my ass and do something of course not. I would rather sit in bed and type my problems on my blog and pretend that someone actually reads this shit. I pretend to be happy most of the time. I don't really like it here in Houston because I am alone. I have no one to hang out with on a regular basis. And I am not the type of girl to invite myself along places. I wish I could be content with my life but sadly I am not. All it would take is a little bit of effort on my part but even that seems like too much. I would like to have the place clean for tomorrow but I doubt it will happen. It is just so easy to ignore. And chili gets on my nerves she never wants to play with me or just sit by me and let me pet her. This has been a hard year and the difficulties are no where near over. Sigh...how am I going to change this around. You know what is sad? So very truly sad? I am typing this on my blog because I know no one reads it so I don't have to hear the half hearted "It will get better"s from my crap friends. They don't understand. I am so alone. So very alone.

Laundry day!!!

I hate laundry day! It is the worst. It might have something to do with the fact that I literally own enough clothes that I dont absolutely have to do laundry for a month. I know the amount of clothes is a bit excessive but I am a hairdresser for a living so being fashionable is part of the job. And my wardrobe has been aquired over years. So as you can imagine by the end of the month my husband and I have quite a bit of laundry. But I got to spend the day with my lovely little puppy and she got to play with my brother-in-laws dog all day, so all in all I guess its been a good day. And I'm able to watch my friends season 5 of The Office!! Woot! And there are only 2 loads left to fold!! But on a different note I wish I had a laundry room that looked like the picture at the top of the post.

On an unrelated note I have decided to be a steampunk vampire hunter for halloween!!! I am so freaking excited!!!!!

Sigh

My cat bite is healing which means I can crochet again. I keep having bad dreams that I don't finish my gifts before Christmas even though both blankets are more than half way complete. You would think that the stress and pressure to get them finished would be some motivation but it really isn't. I'm a procrastinator. I put everything off until the last minute. That's probably why I am so stressed out. So, my birthday celebration went well. The dinner was fantastic all of my family was able to come which was nice. Now on Saturday, at the bar, we got there around 6 and I know that it may sound early, but this particular bar gets very busy between 9 and 10 so it is best to go early and take advantage of Happy Hour. OK so we got there early and I started drinking early which under normal circumstances wouldn't have been a problem, but this bar tender pours the strongest drinks known to man. I only had 2.5 drinks and 2 shots. Either I am showing my age (24) or they are super strong drinks. I left the bar around 1030, my friend drove me home which was super sweet because I would have had to take a cab otherwise. And after a nice dose of vomicillin I felt much better. Sunday was OK. My throat hurt from throwing up so many times, and I was tired because I can never sleep well when I've been drinking, and there was the slight headache and nausea, but other than that I wasn't hung over. I have learned over the years to throw up until you can't throw up anymore and you will feel much better the next day. Now the better solution would be to just not drink that much in the first place, but I think one day of being irresponsible is OK.

Birthday

So my birthday is coming up, on wednesday to be exact, and where I work everyone puts money together for your birthday present. I am trying to figure out what I should do with the money. I could buy craft supplies which would be a lot of fun, but I have absolutely no room for more supplies. I could buy some clothes, but the same problem there no room for more. I am really torn between saving it, buying a new digital camera, or getting the tattoo I've wanted for a long time. I guess my decision will be made when I actually see what I get. I can't wait till wednesday, my husby planned everything out. We are going to my favorite sushi restaurant! And that saturday we are going to meet some friends out for a couple of drinks. I can't wait!

On another note, I am supposed to be finishing the deep cleaning of the apartment today. I woke up and a very early 10 o'clock this morning and have had a shower. Thats as far as I have gotten today. I just hate cleaning. As soon as I get started I dont stop till I finish, but it is just getting started that gets in my way. I always find something else to do that seems so much more interesting, like crocheting the blankets for my mil and sil. Or starting on the hat I want to make, or taking my doggy for a walk which really needs to be done as well but is way more enjoyable than cleaning out closets and window sills. Oh well, I really should start something. Ta Ta.

Stupid Cat

I called my doctor today and instead of just calling a prescription of antibiotics in for me she wants to see me tomorrow at 9 o'clock. And she wants me to get a tetanus shot. This freaking sucks! I hate that stupid freaking cat!!!

kitty cat

Well the kitty cat and I did not make fast friends. He bit my finger and actually punctured the skin. My finger is really swollen now. I am going to keep an eye on it. At the first sign of infection I am going to go to the doctor. This just really sucks. I just wanted to love him. Its okay though, if it was meant to be it would have worked out. In a couple of months we will look at getting a kitten. Until then we are a one pet family.
