Can't sleep tonight!

So much has happened these last couple of weeks that I have just been sooo busy. We are looking for a new house. Trying to find furniture for the new house. Helping my cousin have a baby...well, help as much as someone who has never been pregnant before can help anyway. Playing rescue brigade to my cousin who had the baby. Trying to not fight with my grandmother...that's always fun. Went to the awful dentist to get my teeth worked on again...I think I've spent over 500 bucks there...good grief!! Went to a Premier jewelry party...not what I expected. I think I thought that it was going to be like a U Design party but it wasn't even close. Not only was it not the same quality as U Design...but it was a completely different thing. You don't get to design your jewelry...they are trying to sell stuff that is already made. Kind of a bummer but I did buy an anklet that is really kinda cute. Definitely not sterling silver but it's silver plated and since it's going to be on my ankle, i figure that's okay...but I will definitely not get earrings from there...besides, I like to make my own stuff...it's fun! I get to choose the design and the colors and if I don't like it I can take it apart and try again. When you buy jewelry already made, well, you don't get the options of taking it apart and putting it back together again...well, you can, but it defeats the purpose!

Oh, so I'm supposed to be teaching a class some time this month but I still don't know when. I still haven't even made the project. It's getting kinda frustrating. Do you want me to teach or not!??!?!?!?!? Oh, well, hopefully something will come of it because I'm really hoping to start getting a following and then when I get my own store....BAM!! I got some people who want to take my classes. I have talked to a few members of the church that are totally interested in having a store in the area. It's really kinda hard to get the scrapbook supplies that people want because the stores around here are so small. What needs to happen is someone, such as myself, needs to provide this town with a large scrapbook store that gives scrappers an opportunity to purchase items that they can't get at the smaller stores. Archiver's is a great store and I don't have any problems with sending customers to them because I won't be able to carry everything. Who can!!!??? Michaels and Hobby Lobby can only carry so much..well, same goes for me! Hopefully, my store won't tank within the first few years. I really want my store to be successful and a place for scrappers to go to retreat from the dulldroms of everyday life! I want it to be a haven...a home away from home! That's what I'm hopeing to achieve! Now if only the stupid economy will get better...I'll feel better about starting my own business then.

Oh, speaking about scrapbook stores...I saw the other day on ScrapHappy's website that they were hiring. How frustrating is that. I would have loved to have my old job back...if Melissa would even let me back. I really wanted to work there and I worked my little butt off but maybe I just wasn't good enough. It was fun while it lasted though! So Candice, if you ever read this, congrats on getting a very awesome job! Melissa is one of the best bosses ever!

So this is just a tidbit of what happened since I last blogged. That doesn't include the Gladys Knight performance that I went to, along with Time Out for Women...which both were absolutely fabulous! Saints Unified Voices, if you ever get a chance to go to the performance...take it without question. It was amazing. The music was just so wonderful. The spirit that was there was just so fabulous. And I got to see some people that I haven't seen in a long time! It was fun! Oh, and Time Out for Women...total life changing experience. Michael McLean, Hilary Weeks, Cherie Call, and a whole lot of other speakers just made me feel like I was someone special. It seemed like some of the presentations and talks were directed to me. Like they were only for me. It was just a total spiritual explosion. Just fabulous! They are having one for couples coming up in November I think in Phoenix or someplace like that. I'm gonna try and get tickets if the money comes in by then...which i'm desperately hoping it does...don't ask!!

Oh well, it's almost one am I guess. I think I might take some Tylenol 3 and go to bed!

Blog you later!
