Some new pics and stuff





FINALLY got some batteries for the camera so here are a couple of pics. We took in about half of the goldfish we used for cycling our tank into the fish store today and brought three baby cory catfish home. We plan on getting about eight all together. Supposedly they will school if the group is big enough. They are so cute! I took these two pics of one of them. They are only about 1" long right now. I'm excited to finally be getting our permanent fish! The next pic is of a salad that I eat frequently. I am learning to make a few new dressings so hopefully I will find one I really like. I am kind of sick of my usual topping of cottage cheese and salsa. Next up is the long awaited pic of the latest shirt I finished. I don't really like it. While I loved the print on the fabric, I have decided that it was not the right print for this style. From far away I just look like a blob on the top half with no shape. Ehh, you live you learn right? I also included a video of Taison playing with our foster puppies outside. They loved each other. We took them back almost a week ago. It took me almost two hours to deep clean the room that we were keeping them in--and I had been mopping it every day! Needless to say we will be going back to fostering kittens instead of puppies. I do not know why it is sideways. It is not so on my computer. Sorry. Until we meet again bloggers!

yes I am still alive

In an attempt to fill a void I have completely immersed myself in the works of Jane Austen. I have so much so that I feel that I am starting to speak as if I am one of the characters. I can't help but use the terms, "Indeed!" or "I dare say..." among others. lol.

Other than that, I started a class on Tues--Experimental Social Psychology. We will be conducting our own study throughout the next six weeks. I may go in to that more later. Peace!

A quick update

Okay so it has been awhile...again. Here we go:

I finished that top I was working on. I took a couple pics but we, as always with a toddler in the house, have no batteries so when I get some I will put up the pic. I start school on Tuesday and I am excited and nervous. I get nervous about everything so this doesn't surprise me. I have gained 4% body fat...WHOA!!! WHAT?! I walked past a big window when I was outside the other day and I could no longer see any muscles in my arms and I thought to myself, "Houston, we have a problem." Soooooo, I already started working out again, what, like a week or two ago, but my diet was sucking. I still eat healthy but I was eating too much which equal--you guessed it--FAT GAIN. lol. So its back to lean proteins, good carbs, and healthy fats for me. I am kicking it down to 2000 calories a day and making sure I suck down 0.5-1 gallon of water a day. I am downing my second 24 oz. of the day as I type.
I just got in from a 40 minute run/walk and I had much insight about my attitude toward running and exercise in general while I was out there today. I planned on putting my feelings down here but now I don't feel like it. lol. Maybe later. Maybe never. Until next time bloggers!
