Happy New Year!!

Resolutions:
* put more money in Savings account, not just spend wisely, but actually move it away from accessibility.
* read the classics. Sure I've seen the movies but I've never actually read Oliver Twist, Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, etc
* take more time for me. It'll help reduce stress and maybe the relaxed me will be able to pass (Ace) classes happily :-)

Happy 2011 everyone, hope its the best one yet

I wanna be a billionaire...

heard that song today, while clearing my inbox of the Publisher's Clearinghouse emails I get...
what would I do if I actually won the million dollars a year for the rest of my life?? omigoodness, lots of ideas on how to blow the money right away, but frankly I would get bored quitting my job and trying to live off that money.

SO, here's my current thoughts:
**Year One: pay off student loans, put away money for upcoming years at school. Buy a new wardrobe!! (and maybe a closet organizer)
**Year Two: hire Mike Holmes to do whatever my parents want to their house (bay window, egress for the basement, man cave, kitchen appliances, etc)
**Year Three: Joey and I get new cars!! both ours are paid off now, and mine will deff last that long, his might have to bought earlier. Also maybe all the sisters can take a vacay together?
**Year Four: Build a dream home. Until this time we could continue living in our little cute two bedroom and saving money, so we would have the excess from the first 3 years, plus this year million. It would be a good house. Hopefully by now I would have a big kid job so I would know what city to build in as well.
**Year Five: .... I have no clue, What will I need in 2015??

Decmeber 25th

Merry Christmas!!!

wooo, I thought exam week was tough, just proves I've never worked retail at holiday season. Got some overtime last week, and my body is feeling the two jobs... feet are ready to fall off. But I only work 8hours there this week, so perhaps I will finally relax and update this blog.

time to wrap an unfinished knitted present, and make up to head to Christmas

everyone stay warm, travel safe, and have a joyous holiday! <3

this is not an update...

but an update is coming!!
last week of classes, had a test yesterday, hand in final due Thursday, test Friday and final exam Monday.... so after all that, I will get pictures up!!

just curious

why does no one make mix tapes anymore?? I mean really... they just sound so much fun, and I get that no one has a tape player anymore... but even CD's, does anyone still put together a play list and share it with friends in that way anymore??
hmmm, just a thought.

study break

Little update on the stain glass blankie, still need a couple more pieces, then the black edging around each piece, and finally the long black pieces on each side. Lots of finishing touches, but the main knitting is nearly done!!
Getting close to done with Christmas shopping too, tried to limit the knitting gifts this year, just not enough time with school, two jobs, and a boyfriend that would rather I put the needles down and cuddle :-) Though I still seem to knit more than study... hmmm, maybe I should start an etsy shop and quit one of my jobs?? Don't know that I would be able to produce sellable items I could finish fast enough... something to think about, back to physics for now

Forgot to mention

My Chloe plaque was shown in expecting momma's blog :-)

in other news... lots of studying Today and Tomorrow!! As much as I try this physics exam isn't finishing itself....
but since I tend to knit when avoiding studying (or clean) there may be a post update on some blankets soon!!
