How things have been going.......

So it has been a while since I blogged but here we go again lol..........So I am still jobless but I did go on an interview today so that is good news. I have been trying to lose weight and I am glad to say that I have lost 5 pounds in about a week and a half. There is a group of us from church that work out 3 to 4 times a week up at the church. It is great to have the group to one keep you going and keep you on track. Even better you are not at a gym with skinny people all around looking at you like who is this fat chick and what does she think she is doing on the treadmill lol. It is a group of people that don't judge and encourage. I have also been trying to eat better too which is going good but I will be honest it could be better. I am still working on my crazy hobby jumping. One week I want to scrapbook and one week I want to sew. With me life is never dull. One of these days I will figure it out or maybe balance the both better. I am working on a shirt and getting pictures ready for 2 scrapbooks. Well.....make that 3 I just thought of another one I want to do lol. I am still single but pretty happy about it. I am one of those people that says you can't be happy with someone till you are happy with yourself and I believe it. My mom always told me don't settle so I won't. When God is ready for me to be with someone it will happen. I am just rambling on so I am off here but I will update things as they come.

I NEED A JOB!!!!

I need a job people. While I love what I do at and for the church I really need a job the pays. I would love some cash flow and so would my bank lol. I think that what I do for the youth group is what I am called to do but I need to find a job that pays and just continue to do what I do when I have down time. I really want to be in an office setting cause I do well with that. I have a friend that is at a part time job and looking for a full time one I am hoping that maybe when she leaves I can put in for her old job. It would be a blessing. In short I NEED A JOB!!!!

Update on new hobby.......

Ok I am still working on the shirt and it is coming along. I am happy that it gives me something to do when I am just sitting watching t.v. so I don't zone out to Mars. I did not thin to take pics as I have been working on the shirt. I will have to post a pic when I get done. I really want to do somethings with kids clothes next. I want to start with a white out fit and make it look totally different. I am starting to wonder how long this hobby will last. I have a bad habit of starting a hobby and then getting bored with it. I am just glad to have one for now.

Maybe it is time for a hobby!!

OK so something that most people don't know about me is that I wanted to have my own line of clothing growing up. I never really told anyone cause growing up we never really had the money for me to really get into it. I don't really have the money now either. So any who I had an accident the other day when I washed and dried a shirt that wash hand wash only. I quickly learned why you should always read the label carefully. Well the washer must have loosened the bead work cause after only 15 mins in the dryer I started hearing a funny noise. When I opened the door thinking that there was change or something in there with my clothes I was shocked to see blue beads flying around the dryer. I was not only upset but worried how my sister Katie would take it cause it was her shirt. I called her immediately and she was not mad at all. She told me to just buy some more beads and fix it. HAHAHA on me cause they don't sell the exact bead anywhere in town that I could find. I had to make a decision and I decided that I would take this as a chance for me to kinda live out my crazy child hood dream. Crazy right. I decided to buy 3 sets of different beads that look close to the bead the was on the shirt to begin with and just make a pattern with all the different beads. Well I have been working on the shirt on and off since Thursday night and really not much progress. I would string about 3 inches and not like how it looked and take it all apart and start again. I finally figured out how I would like it to look and I think it is going good now. Of course it will not look like it did before my blunder but I like to think it is new and improved. I am thinking that maybe if it goes well and I like it I might start sewing. Another crazy thing I wanted to do is design hand bags and shoes. I wish I was more crafty like my friend Laura is. She has great ideas for crafts and they come out so cute but I am just not that artsy lol. I am hoping that even if this turns out to be nothing but a short run of me making ugly bags and shirts that I will have fun and find joy. Maybe even find a good hobby. I have had so many little "dreams" in my life that I have done nothing with. I will use this current unemployment to where my hobbies can take me. I have always said that find what makes you happy and do it maybe I should take my own advice. By the way if you are looking for someone that makes no grammar mistakes keep looking cause while I know I write badly this is for me so I will do what I want lol.

Trying to be a better me!!!

I have decided that I am not holding up my end of the bargain. I am not being the best me that I know I can be. I need to lose weight y'all. I know that when I do I will feel better. I can do this but I have to stay motivated. I always get discouraged when I don't drop weight right away and then I just give up. I also have a bad habit of just being lazy and not going for a walk or doing my workouts. I always hear it is not so much what you eat but how much you eat........Not sure I believe that 100%. I see the reasoning behind it but I think no matter what if all you eat is fat even if it is in little portions I don't see you losing a ton of weight (unless you mean after you have a heart attack and they put you on a liquid diet lol). So people I am going to try to be better and lose this weight and then next year I want to go to the beach and feel ok in a bathing suit. God give me the strength to do what I need to do.

Turning 25

I am turning 25 in 23 days!!!!!! I can't believe that this past year has gone by so fast. I am ready for a new chapter in my life. I am single at this time which is cool with me cause I am a firm believer in you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else. I have really figured out who I am over the last 2 years. I have made and lost friends. I am proud to be the sister of Katie and Tori Kay and the daughter of Becky, David, and Angie. I am so happy to have my family. We don't always see eye to eye but what family does. I have a strong faith in my God and I have the best church family. I look back at the last 24 years and I see love and heart break. If I could go back and change things I am not sure I would cause I would not be the person I am today. I think that we have to struggle sometimes to be strong enough to fight when we need to. There are thing that I would like to change in my life but all things come in time. I know that this time next year I will be stronger than I am today cause that is the way life works.

Fast

The twist and turns of life come fast. You need to be a gymnast to not get hit by a stray ball. If you are like me you get hit a lot. I am slowly learning how to move out of the way but I still get hit from time to time. Maybe one day I will get the hang of this life thing.
