Oh yeah!

My Gloria is doing well in her pregnancy.
Her labor might have to be induced, but not because of complications. Wish her luck though, she's doing it with no drugs!

It's been awhile!

Sorry I haven't been able to update recently but a lot has happened. We picked up and moved to Florida (in a day no less) because Kris's dad had some medical problems and we didn't feel comfortable being away from him.
It feels good to be back though, that's for sure. Kris already has a job and has been working since last week, I'm filling out miles of paperwork and taking a test to become a correctional officer. If I get the job I have to go to a three month long academy (I'll get paid to do so) and take P.T.
I'm excited to have the opportunity, wish me luck! I love you all!

Fuck!

I hate this job, I hate this place. I just got back from a nice four day weekend and it's only lunch time, I already want to shoot myself in the fucking head. I have absolutely no idea why bosses think it's great to fuck with the people who work for them. If you really need a power trip that bad then you have some serious internal issues that need to be taken care of. Sigh.

Bracelet

This is the bracelet I made when I went to my Mom and Step dad's house. I used thrift store jewelry and little bits and pieces of found junk as well as some of my step dad's jewelry stuff. I'm pretty happy with the mix of old and new, expensive and inexpensive. Plus, it jingles when I move around and that's always a plus. There are some really cool charms and lockets on there, and I really like the different metals mixed together. Kris hates it, but what can you do?

Lucy Grace, I can't wait!

I just saw my beautiful friend Glo and her husband Josh yesterday, she is sooo pregnant. I can't wait for their (sure to be gorgeous) baby girl to be born.

I am so excited and JEALOUS! But my time will come I guess. I am loving my life with Kris right now, I am just so happy. I think that's rare for people to be able to say, but I am. I have amazing friends and family, and the best man I could ever hope to share my life with, excepting the fact that he farts in my face, but whatever.

Now all I need is a good job, and to get into school. Need to work on that.

Other that all that stuff.. I've hit somewhat of a creative wall, I can't seem to get into making anything lately. Mom and Joe are coming to pick me up today to make some jewellery, so hopefully that will give me the kick in the butt I need to start creating again.

Bleegrh

I came home from work early today, just feeling a bit under the weather. I don't know if it's the heat or what, but I just feel run down and dizzy. Just ate to try and make myself feel better, my chef boyardee was nothing compared to last nights continued yellow rice orgy with pb&j on the side.
We can't eat like kings everyday though eh? Just thought I'd check in to assure myself that no, nobody is reading this still. So, mission accomplished then eh?
Working on another journal page, see you later.

A Very Daunting Task

Click for a larger image

This page was made because I wanted to practice my backgrounds using paints. I am not a fan of how bright the colors turned out though....but I love the texture I created. There are ripped bits of paper in there underneath the paint and the whole thing just feels lovely. I am in love with texture these days. I loved the boys expression, like he was given this job to do that he has no idea how to accomplish, I feel like that sometimes for sure.
Oh how I wish that we had good flea markets here, it would be so much fun to go cruise those to find things to use in my art, I wish I was back in Florida, they have the best ones.
Another day,
Christy
