Bead 181procrastination

my biggest enemy is procrastination
seriously ! it happens so much of the time that minutes before i have to do something it seem like I'm hurring to do whatever needs to be done.
(even beads, i'll be honest)
so yeah.......procrastination in bead form
tiny, tricky
always wispering "No it small you can do it later, you have PLENTY of time" or " it will be fine, tommorow is a new day"
small, black, sneeky, seemingly incignificant, cute-ish looking beeing

have.good. tommorow.
hope.same.for.me.please.
a tired ,procastinaty

Bead 174

pretty dope day today
i finally finished my huge  project consisting of 15 works of art (while class begun, a fellow classmate helped me cut out shapes for my last peice-thank you)
and my professor loved it!!!!! he said and i quote "I've gotta watch out for you, this is great"
^_^ he-he-he-he-heeeee!!!!
so that class went well.
then after that i bumped into a friend and we studied together for our next class,
where we eventually trickled to. My professor (one of my favorites) pulled me aside as I was going to my seat and told me "he was going to have to break-up the little fan club I have in the front of the class" silly, silly, silly but he is kind-of right . I've been in his class for what seems like forever and always have to maintain "my seat", being crazy early and greeting him warmly any chance I can get. I'm that kind of person; can't help it. Also I went out to lunch with two friends (the one i studied with and my other buddy whom randomly texted me before class wanting to meet up with both of us)


both of my buddies (whom happen to be on there fancy cell phones..grr)
 we went out for pizza. It was soooooo awsome. we gobbled on pizza and reconected in are weird artishy, speak-with-your-hands, sing the songs that are on the radio while in mid conversation, interupt one another, freak other patrons in the resturant out kind of way. conventional?-no. Cool?-hell yes!
all around awsome day
i hope it was for yall too
so just a pure happy-yellow bead today

have a happy hump day
I'll try to do the same

Bead 172 skrimp!!

so today started off pretty bumpy
i woke up early,really sore, and took a shower totry to feel a little bit better
but needless to say it didn't help much
the remainder of my day was spent in bed working on homework
or playing with krackers
eventually i got up and cooked supper for mama and I
a mini-shrimp boil of sorts
it was so yummy and really helped break up my gray,cold, painful day
after that we yelped "skrimp" at one another as a sign of approval and moderatly nuttyness of us all
so my bead today is a shrimp or "skrimp"

have a fantastic week
-m

Bead 171

so today was an okay day
i got up at a resonable time and tried to be somewhat preductive today
and made two planters out of toys i bought the other week
the elephant one had a noise button so i had to cut it out and replace it with a jerry-rigged bottom using a plastic bottle
both came out really cool
(i will show later)
 but hands down the best part of my day is what mama finished for me
a tie purse
after that it kind of went down-hillish i had to go to a club award cerimony that dragged on for ever, an finnaly when i came home i tumbled as soon as i stepped in the door and really hurt my shin and myself
my bead is a tie
thanks mama for the purse

i need rest after thet hard fall
a bruised

Bead 167 the ledge

I have difficulties living
im going to be honest with you ad my self
I totally do.. and often find myself on "the ledge"
you know the little teeny voices in your head that are constantly ringing ,saying "jump!!!, what on earth do you have to go on for?
I am NOT suicidal by ANY means but have problems and somewhat irrational fears about...well everything
and know for a fact that with out the loveones that i try to surround myself with, that i would be a young art spister who will never leave the house except for the rare "treat" days of getting art supplies, oraganic produce at the farmers market, baking stuff, vollunteering, thrift shopping or just hanging out with friends.
that would be my perfect life,seriously
just selling art and living life , i would get sheep and other creatures too....
but intill then I'm going to live on my little ledge with my mom and other loved ones hanging on for dear life to me
but i survived today, and did my best
and that is all i can ever ask of myself
i might crumble often but at least i am cute, sweet, and loved

have a nice "hump"day tommorow and stay safe on your own ledges
i hope yalls arnt as ledgy as mine
-m

Bead 166

man i had a ton of ice cream today, it was so good!!!!
but the bad thing is I'm lactoseintolerant--seriously not good
so im going to be sick for the next few days but i think it was worth it.
i hope your MLK Jr. Day was well, i spent a magority of mine watching old black and white films with my love intrest Sidney Poitier , oh how i adore him and his movies
the ones i watched today were: "Pressure point", "Cry, the Beloved Country" and  "The Defiant Ones"
all great movies, i recommend you watch all of them asap
you dont have to eat ice cream as practically all your meals , like i did though
uggggh....why world did you make me lactose?
first i got a dollar crunch-cicle thingy at about 10 in the morning at the dollar store even though it was below freezing outside,then around 3 in the afternoon  i got a 79 cent cup of frozen yogurt  because of a rewards card given by the store, and lastly i had banana pudding ice cream for supper.....yeah i know i have a problem
 

so my bead is a popsicle

have a great tommorow
oh, and could you please send me some good vibes i have a few art assignments due really soon and i have been lingering on making them in fear of failing...but i know i'll end up sabotoging myself if i continue to procrastinate....I am a big brave lion, and all i can do is try my best

Bead 165 White-ish fish?

so today i had planned to do a ton of stuff, but.....
i did absolutly none of it, i have no idea what happened at all. I woke up early and hopped in the shower, got dressed and went to go lay down for awhile with mama so i would be able to get up and go to church today. (I have to get up in stages if i want to be preductive at all during the day)
but i ended up going to sleep for about three hours, not intentionally at all
so since then i had stayed there and watched tv
but eventually got up around dinner time to make a fish fry with mom
i didn't know what type of fish my dad got and asked him , he said white....(so,being me i didnt understand that was an actual type of fish)

i told him no the fish wasn't all the way white it was kind of white-ish-grayey-pink ? and what kind was it...
that went on for a few minutes untill it finally stuck, that the fish was indeed white fish
i'm not sure if that make sence to you but if it dosent i'm sorry?
so my bead today is a fish fillet all dead-like

have a good safe tommorow

Bead 164

hello you
i hope your saturday went well
mine did
the morning was spent on an expadition of getting a free breakfast for mama and I
she got a free chicken biscut coupon and i had a free nuggets coupon, so dad was the only one who had to pay for him and get us a drink to share, so breakfast for all three of us ended up being about 6 bucks
not too shabby if i do say so myself, and after that we went searching for yard sales. we were only able to find one but it wasn't that great..so we ended up going to a hispanic bakery/deli/grocery store/resturant
yep its all those things rolled into one, oh how i have such a rich culture but i love and hate going to the place, dont get me wrong they have pretty good food most of the time but it can be a bit inconsistent in service and quality
but today it was on point!!! we bought:

 fresh from the oven rolls
sweet breads (including an awsome churro)
tamales
corn tortillas
and some menudo for mama
everything was so so so delicious an i plan on buying more stuff from there including these

they look so good and cute i would have gotten some today if i hadn't forgotten my wallet at home :(
but there is always next time
my bead is pan dulce- sweet bread

i also made a sparkley dinosaur
(who apparently likes pan dulce very much)

have a nice tommorow

boooo...
 my cyst is still there obviously
i could have told them that, and its still the same size about 8.5 cemimeters
thats big , like seriously big
but whateves
it will have to go away eventually be it naturally or surgically
but even better then all that is i got to go splurdge at the craft store after my appointment
i even composed a tiny poem
on the first day of splurdging
this is what i got for me:
1 sparkle yarn
2 marcupial charms

3 skeins of yarn
and 4 patterns for sushi!!!
i also got some other stuff too at the craft store
every thing was less the 25$ thats splurging for me

there is a tornado rolling past twards the leftside of my state (that sounds a bit weird to you too dosen't it?)
it hasn't done too much dammage as far as i know, but just causing tons of funky weather like snow in the montains, and wind and rain here....
other then the crummy weather today has been pretty good, only two classes and they went by quicky so the rest of my time  was occupied with trudging across campus with tons of art supplies,bags and huge  heavy HUGE cumbersome drawing board

i went to my two classes and got to see my security gaurd again!!!
we spoke a few minutes where he told me he missed seeing me and was trying to stop going to the gate to let me in like he did all last semster, oh how i missed him :) he also told me welcome home, honestly it did feel like home...
and after class my cousin and i went out to lunch
to a really nice burger place
she had a coupon for a free burger her birthday
our waiter was crazy nice and the burgers were super huge and good
also bottomless steak-fries?
can i get a heak yes?
but there was an odd couple being a bit too friendly.........if you know what i mean
jerking the gherkin
after they left  our waiter pulled up a chair to our table and pointed out their odd behavior of sitting a bit too close, switching seats in the booth and the fact that the woman paid for both of them !!!!!!!, we had a nice laugh about it ...but seriously why????
i will never understand people
anyways the waitor also brought out an ice cream for us to share, nice
thank you sir, you were so nice and cool
my bead today is a burger
yummy and not inapropriate at all
promise!

Bead 158

today was a very very very  good day
I'm totally over all my nurvousness and anxiaty (thearetically)
I was able to go to church this morning and hear a surmon that i really needed
it was mainly about the five W's that we needed to do to make ourselfs better and make 2012 a great year
by changing our:
Will
Ways
Words
Walk
and Works
it was really nice
and seeing all those nice people who actually missed me was great too
after that we went grocery shopping where i got some "needed" supplies including:
brie
pomagranate juice
chabatta bread
and some other essentials
^_^ 
they were seriously needed
really!!
and the rest of the day was spent at home working on various paper work for 4-H and just living amungst my nutty family, inculding krakers who kept on picking at her feet ( they have healed very well and hair has started to grow back)
hanging out in my favorite pajamas
bears!!!!
they are so so so great

my bead today is a bear claw
kind-of  like a luck rabbits foot
but better and dosen't involve de-footing of  a cute little bunny


hopefully it will bring some serious luck for tommorow
have a great monday and week and i'll be sure to send some wonderful ( slightly nurvous) vibes your way

Bead 157

I'm addicted
yep to quite a few things actually
including but not limited to:
chocolate
wool
yarn
bacon
and Juice
yes JUICE ... Juice
i have loved ,loved,loved juice since i was crazy young
so i was in serious need for it today especially the way i have been carrying on
fibromyalgia has been a part of my life for seven years
and today i had an uber bad day, mostly because i pushed myself too hard and really let my inscurities get the best of me
it happens
but i love that the teeny tiny things like mama getting  me white grape-peach-mango juice
that really helps get me back to earth
thanks
so todays bead is a juicebox
simple. great. reminders of where we came from.and who we need to be and really are
forget the rest...pain be damned


have a good tommorow and please keep the good vibes a-coming my way
and I'll sure send some for y'all

plus I met the teachers mother (who was crazy nice)
saw my egg man
and got a new recipie

I'm still scared about next semester, but i feel a bit better
for my bead i choose a really soothing color

Thursday, January 5, 2012

Bead 155

so today was a heck of a day
i really don't like being left alone
seriously.......don't ever leave me alone all day, especially not when I'm antsy
this morning i woke up at about 7:38 and have been pretty on edge since, I allowed myself to get up slowly so I wouldn't hurt so much
Then i made about 4 dozen sugar cookies, all which turned out crazy cake-like
weird??????
then the rest of my day was occupied with trying to get the bunnies to play, or doing anything other then sleep all day......fyi they didn't
and watch cheesy survival programs, and what other trash/news that was on
later on I even got to watch one with mom
^_^ that helped ease my inside crazness
but a poor stingray was killed in the program
so my bead today is a stingray
In memory of the poor little one thats life was cut short
cake-like cookies, trash tv, sleeping bunnies, and a crazy antsy me
not a great day
but tommorow will be better
its friday ,i get to vollunteer/cook with kids, and i am loved
I am still scared about a new semester but
i am loved and, i am a big brave lion
i hope ya'll have a great day

Bead 154 bread curmudgeon

today i was a LOAF OAF
yep for-real-sies
I used are "new" bread machine for some sweet potato pecan bread
it took three hours.....THREE HOURS  total
by itself:
mixing
kneading
rising
baking
THREE HOURS
seriously.
it was good bread ,but three hours is a lifetime
and it really sucked the fun out of making bread, isn't it weird that i have pacients to do all the steps of handmaking bread yet no pacients for a robot-ish square doing it for me
thats just me ........sorry
so my bead is obiously a loaf of bread a very happy one at that , even though i was a mild curmudgeon about the amount of time it took to make him (the real one not the wool one)
anyhoo have a great tommorow and try not to be a bread curmudgeon
(I'm really liking that word if you can't tell ^_^)
a curmudgeon-ish
-m
