I’m so not in |

March 27th 2007

I hate when people use Webdings (or Wingdings…whatever) and make that heart. I don’t have the font and it always shows up as “|”. It’s annoying.

So I just finished sanding and staining some furniture. We bought it a few years ago at an unfinished furniture store and I finally got it ready. The stain is a medium brown that looks really good. My bed’s a similar color and all the furniture will look pretty good. I still have one more bookcase to do, but it was painted red so it’s slow-going. I had to strip it and it’s still not all off so we have to sand it. It’ll probably take me another few hours, but I’m going to leave that for another day.

I also have a big project in Stats due tomorrow. I finally started working on it earlier. I have all the answers, but I need to put them in sentence form and write some junk about them.

Oh and my new quilt is up. :) I likes it. I’m in the process of making a new layout for this site. I don’t seem to be having much luck though. My inspiration is not that great and I suck at drawing in Illustrator.

Spring break is over

March 19th 2007

It’s been ages since I posted. My spring break was okay. We painted a lot (my room). It’s almost done. The black and red took a lot of coats to cover up, which makes sense. I am a horrible painter. And it’s not so fun. My arms get tired after about five minutes. Shows how much I’m out of shape. Actually, I’m really getting out of shape and I need to start exercising. Today I’m sick though.

My brain is not functioning correctly so I’m done.

I am working on a new QBee quilt. It’s gonna be great.

The return of Futurama

March 8th 2007

So I heard awhile back that my all-time favorite TV show is making a comeback and today while looking for checks, I came across this article.

“Well, I was frustrated when it got cancelled, but Fox, 20th Television is the one who came back and said, “Would you like to do a DVD movie?” and we said, “Let’s do two” and they said, “Well, why not three?” and we said, “Well, why not four?” and they said, “Okay, four” and then that’s it.”

So FOUR movies! How exciting. I can’t wait.

Don and I are going to work all summer to save as much money as we can for college, but there’s a small problem with the car issue. There’s only one. We can probably save up about $1000 by the time the summer rolls around to buy a car, but finding one is the problem. I was also thinking of getting a motorcycle and Don can ride it (not me ’cause I’m a scaredy cat). So I’ve been looking and I really don’t know anything about them. I’ll have to ask Don when he gets home from work.

I finally got my W2 from Eddie Bauer so I finished my tax return. I’ll get a whole $61 back. That’s exciting. Especially compared to Don’s $560. He made way more money than I did though. He made about $5000 and I only made $1200. My jobs were only part-time and his was 12 hours a day for two months. So it works out okay.

I’m thinking about a new layout for tehsheriff.org. I do really love this one, but I’d like to see something a little more…grown up. That’s a good way to put it. I also want to make a better layout for my quilt so that’s on my list of things to do.

What checks should I get? Baseball ones or Marvel comic ones? I can’t decide. I also can’t decide if I want to get Disney ones, Toy Story or something. I think it’d be pretty cool, but they’re expensive. I wanted to keep it unisex so Don could use them, but he doesn’t ever write checks anyway so does it matter?

Oh and I got an $8000 scholarship for college. That’s always nice. :smile:

The Bee

March 6th 2007

I have been officially accepted into The Quilting Bee. Again. This time I’m #324. I wish I could’ve had my old number, 43. It’s still open.

Anyway, we got the Bronco and it’s pretty awesome. I do love it.

There’s not much going on except my little sister’s birthday is tomorrow. We got her some Heelys that she’s been asking for for a loooong time. I also got her a Spongebob game for her Gameboy Advance. And a Spongebob cake. She’ll be ten, by the way. Pretty cool.

My Bronco!

February 28th 2007

Bronco!

We decided on a Bronco. And boy am I excited! :grin: I need to update these smilies…anyway, about the Bronco.

It’s the 1987 (yes, twenty years old). It has a new engine and new everything else but the body and transmission. It has a six-inch lift and a bunch of other crap. I don’t know much about cars, so trying to explain is dumb. It’s in really nice condition. When we got to the place to meet the owner, he had taken the top off. It had been recently waxed and was all shiny. It’s an Eddie Bauer edition and even though it’s pretty old, it’s worth the $6000 we’re paying for it. I’m really excited. The guy is fixing the crack in the windshield and getting it detailed and a tune-up and then we’ll get it hopefully by this weekend. :grin:

What else is new? Nothing really…I’m going back to church to finish my classes to get baptized and confirmed this Easter. Since I moved back home, Don and I stopped going to mass. I figure it’s easier to finish now since I only have a couple months left. At some point, Don and I are going to want to get married and I want to get married in the Church so I need to go through all my sacraments first. So that’s enough of that.

My bronco keeps distracting me. :lol:
