wednesday

(via)

i have been inspired to create things lately, although it never seems like i have enough time. currently i am working on a few projects and i have all these ideas in my head for more.
one thing i am doing is trying to sketch more, but it's discouraging because i am never very happy with what i draw. it takes practice, but even when i used to do it all the time i was never great. i hope i can improve.

i am working on a patchwork quilt that i am convienced i'll never finish. i have been working on it since middleschool, definitely not daily or even monthly, but it's been over 10 years!
i am making a michael jackson zombie cross stitch wall hanging that is moving along nicely. i think i will finish this in a couple of weeks at least. i am very motivated to finish this because it's so cute!
i'm trying to alter a dress but it's so annoying to bring out the sewing machine so i've been putting this one off. it's a cute summer dress but i doubt it will still be summer by the time i'm actually able to wear it. maybe summer 2011. i miss having my own place where my sewing machine can sit out, set up and ready to go.
stevie is trying to buy a condo and the plan is for me to move in with her. i think that would be awesome. we both love making stuff so i'm sure we will have a huge area to paint, draw, sew, knit, crochet, whatever! i can't wait.
paint. that's another project. i painted a picture in about a week and it's just not right. i know it needs a lot more work, so hopefully i can get to that soon.

life

You said you could be my dream I could have you every night
And if by morning, I'd forgotten you, well no big deal, that'd be alright
'Cause you're the reoccurring kind

interesting

haha i just reread what i wrote in the about me section: "i'll let you know when something interesting happens". this blog has ceased to be interesting, if it ever even was. it's not like anyone reads it, so i guess i can just write whatever i want. i just thought it was funny that my tagline is a blatant lie.

long weekend

this weekend has not been great for my diet. i went running with my sister around the lake on friday and that was pretty much the only positive thing i did. got drinks with friends at night, but passed on the appetizers they were having. ok two good things.

saturday i don't remember what i ate, but i definitely went to bed early.

sunday some of my family came over and we had a little bbq. i made a frozen mojito pie and brownies. my mom made the typical bbq food, but for me she made portobello burgers with spicy chipotle mayo. i tried not to eat too much potato salad but i was getting so drunk off the jalapeno lemon aid with patron. im not sure how well i can portion control under those circumstances.

sunday night my foot started getting really swollen and i could hardly walk.

Monday morning i went to one of those Walgreens Take Care Clinics where they diagnosed me with cellulitis of the foot. perfect. now i can't run. i can hardly walk. i laid in bed all day. my mom brought me a portobello burger that was left over. i only ate half bc i was feeling sorry for myself and didnt want to eat. around 3pm i saw i commericial for the new dominos pizza and asked my dad if he wanted to give it a try with me. dominos, you did well. i ate that and skipped dinner. so not too awful, but since im hardly getting any activity the calories add up. omg i wanted to die yesterday. my foot felt like it was going to split open because it was so swollen. the skin was stretched.
i had a four day weekend and i only went out one night. watching pawn stars and laying in bed for four hours really makes you appreciate being healthy. haha.

today i had coffee with cream and sweetener, & kashi cereal with skim milk. for lunch i had more kashi cereal. when i got home from work i was starving so i had some cheese and crackers. for dinner i had hummus, tabouli salad with one pita and chips. i had some yogurt for dessert. i am paranoid about getting a yeast infection from being on antibiotics. i've never had one and i'd like to keep it that way. they sound disgusting.
