I'm Such A Slacker...

Sorry about slacking on this blog lately. I've been kinda busy with my other blogs and some other stuff. But anyway, lets go back to last Thursday and work our way to the present, shall we?

So last Thursday Kody and I got in a HUGE fight! It was probably one of the biggest we've had, and the worst we've had here in the last few weeks that we've been fighting. I don't really want to go into details, but my temper got out of control and he got really mad at me. After I woke up from a two hour nap, that was meant to cool me off, I came out to the living room and he was writing something on his note pad. It turns out it was a letter to me. He wrote it and then told me he was leaving for a couple hours because he needed to get away from me. I was pretty upset because every other time we have a fight we always just talk it out and we are all better. I tried to stop him from going, but no prevail. Finally, I just let him go, thinking that would be the best. I couldn't stop crying, though. And to top it all off, he was almost an hour late coming home. But we finally sorted out our problems and we've been pretty much perfect ever since.

The next day we were to head home, to my parent's, because I had a family reunion to go to. Friday my best friend, Chelsey wanted me to go to the club with her, so Kody just stayed home and hung out with our friend, John. I ended up going to the club with Chelsey, my sister, Ashlee, and her friend. Our original plan was to go to this dance club but we got there and NOBODY was there. So I said "let's go to the gay bar," so we did. And we had so much fun.

Saturday was my family reunion, and it was the first time Kody went to one of my family functions, besides the holidays. It was an alright time, I mean who really has fun at a family reunion. Afterwards we went to Hobby Lobby so I could get some things for my jewlery. I ended up making a bracelet and starting on a pair of earrings. That night we watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix because I haven't seen it since it was in theaters, two years ago.

Sunday my grandma took us and my cousins to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, since I hadn't seen it yet. I was waiting to see it with her so since I was home I figured it would be a good time to see it. And it was amzing, like they all are. Harry Potter never disappoints. After finishing up the earrings I started and finishing up a necklace, because my grandma said she will try and sell my stuff at this garage sale, we headed on back to school.

The last couple of days, nothing much has gone on with me...until today. Today has been a pretty bad day. First I waterlogged my Blackberry, but I got it working again after just blowing it out for about an hour or two. After fixing that problem, my scroll ball fell apart, so I couldn't actually do anything on my phone but listen to music. So since I had music, I walked to campus to go to the financial aid office, but happened to forget my tax forms, so I pretty much walked there for nothing. Thank goodness, Kody was able to fix my scroll ball. The ring around it just needs glued in place because it has lost almost all of its prongs.

Well, I hope you have had a good week, so far.

Weekend Recap & New Jewlery

Friday was like any other Friday night for me. I went out to party, just like I do every Friday night. I stay in all week, so Friday is really the only time I get out. Our usual party place, where our friends Ryan, Tyler, and Kyle live, was changed this week to my friend Kelly's house. Ryan went home this weekend and they are redoing the floors, so that was probably the reason. It was a lot of fun, to go someplace new for once. Unfortunately, after we went back to the house, with Tyler, boyfriend noticed he didn't have is phone, so after looking around the house we had to walk back to Kelly's. And of course, it wasn't there, but Tyler found it at the house after all. And luckly, Tyler was nice enough to give us a ride back to our apartment so we didn't have to make that walk as well. After making some mac and cheese, we called it a night.

Saturday night, I layed around, like I usually do, because I was so exhausted from the night before. Even though I was so tired, I woke up early, after boyfriend went to work. But I ended up taking a three hour nap before he got home. And then another, two hour nap, with him, after he got home. The highlight of my night was watching Princess Protection Program on Disney channel since I missed the premiere the night before. I enjoyed the movie, it was really good! After the movie we went to McDonald's since neither of us had ate all day and decided to go over to Wal-Mart to see what kind of beads they had. I ended up getting a set, which makes 2 necklaces, a bracelet, and a set of earrings. I also got a box of random ocean colored beads.

Today was a pretty uneventful day. Boyfriend wanted to grill out over at the guy's house, but Tyler said he already ate. Kyle was ready to after Ryan got home, but by that time boyfriend was already making some fried chicken and french fries, which were so good! It would have been nice to enjoy a beautiful day, for once, but that food was good too! The badside to the day, was our sink got a leak because of the garbage disposal. Boyfriend was able to control it and mopped up the mess, but we need to call the maintenace guy. Today I also made a couple peices of jewlery from the set I bought at Wal-Mart. I made one of the necklaces and the pair of earrings. The necklace took forever, but I think it turned out pretty good. I have some pictures and I apologize if there is fuzziness. I'm working on borrowing a camera to take better pictures so I can upload them to Etsy.


Well, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend =)

Made More Jewlery

I've made some more pieces of jewelry for my Etsy shop that I'd like to share with you guys. I apologize, again, for the crappy pictures. I need to borrow a friend's camera, because I lost the charger to mine...

The second bracelet I made

Another pair of earrings

Boyfriend actually made this pair of earrings

And I finally came up with a name for my Etsy shop. I had a little help from a girl on Twitter. The name for my shop is called Cherished Love. I set up my shop but I have yet to post my jewelry since I still need to take good pictures of what I've made.

I've Finally Started Making Jewlery

Friday afternoon boyfriend and I went to Micheal's to get beads and supplies to start making jewelry. We finally took it out last night and messed around with it. I ended up making two pairs of earrings and a bracelet. Kody, on the other hand, had a bit of trouble trying to come up with stuff to make. He was mostly the one that did all the difficult work, like bending the earpin to make a loop for my earrings and putting the clasp beads on my bracelet :P

So here are some pictures of what I created...sorry about the blurriness, these pictures were taken on my Blackberry, and I'm working on taking better pictures.




Again, sorry about the blurriness. When I put together my Etsy website, the pictures will look better and there will be more detailed pictures. I just want to know what you guys think. I'll probably make some more tonight.

I also need to come up with a name, any suggestions?

Weekend Recap & Another Birthday Party

Friday was my friend Wes' 20th birthday so they had a party for him over at the house. It was one of the most memorable parties boyfriend and I has ever attended because we carried the beer pong table for 13 straight games. We played for 3 1/2 hours! It was pretty much the only thing we did all night. We waited about an hour until we actually got to play, since the list was so long, but when we did finally get to play...wow! I think that may be a record in that house and that house has had a lot of parties with a lot of beer pong :P As much as I loved being part of the team that carried the table pretty much the entire night, I was sad I couldn't do much else. But, then again, I don't think anyone in our group can say that they have done that before :P I know me and boyfriend are a good team but we have never been that good!

Me and the Birthday Boy
(he was pretty drunk :P)


Friday was also payday for boyfriend so we finally had money to go buy some groceries. It had been about a month since we had been grocery shopping last. But luckily since its just the two of us we don't have to go very often. We usually go every two weeks, when he gets paid, but last pay day was pretty rough for us since rent was do and we were short on that. Thank goodness he got a pretty big check this week, so we put 300 in savings to save for rent, we got groceries, and we were even able to get some stuff for me to start my jewlery business. It was really hard picking out beads and stuff because I just didn't know where to start. Boyfriend gave me $60 to spend, and at first I went way over, so after putting some stuff back we settled on about $75 dollars worth of stuff, which half of that was just tools. I got some stuff to make a few pieces, so I'll be able to get more in a couple more weeks.

And I'm sure the next payday will be huge because boyfriend did great yesterday, earning over 100 dollars, and today he has done even earning closer to 200 dollars.

Yesterday I wasn't really up for doing much, because of the night before's antics. So I basically just laid around the house and talked on Twitter for most of the day. Boyfriend and I decided to not go out so when he got home we went to get some Jimmy Johns, which I had been craving, but unable to get, for a long time. After eating we pretty much just came home and went to bed.

I haven't even finished "Twilight" yet or started making jewlery. Thats on today's agenda, since the day is still young, along with doing the dishes and calling my dad for Father's Day. If I don't call him he'll get upset, since we don't get to see each other much. My parent's never got married and I never see my dad much, so we don't have a really close relationship. I haven't seen him since Easter, even though I went home not too long ago, I just didn't have time to see him.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a great Father's Day =)

P.S. If you want to know more about the outfit I wore go over to my fashion blog where I did an outfit post on it.

My Bestie Has Turned 21 =)

I'm so excited that my best friend, Jackie, has finally turned 21. She no longer has to rely on me or anyone else to buy her alcohol! Last night we had a party for her over at my old house and it was so much fun. Jackie didn't know if she would end up having a good time because she thinks the guys that live there now don't really like her but I told her that she was going to have a blast because I was going to be there. If one of us isn't there we usually don't have the best time because there aren't many girls that hang out with our group so there aren't many girls that are over there on a regular basis and even when Dakota is there, she is the one to always get really drunk and she mostly is with the guys anyway (She is way more like a dude than she is a girl :P) But anyway, Jackie ended up having a really fun time, and the boys let her listen to what music she wanted, because they usually don't. And our other friends Porcha and Asia were also there, who are Jackie's new roommates. I'm really glad she had a good time because it was her 21st birthday so she had to have a good time :P

Jackie, the birthday girl

The birthday girl and I

Porcha, Dakota, me, and Jackie

Tonight we are all going out to dinner and then out to the club. I wasn't planning on going out to dinner with the group because I don't have any money to each but Jackie insisted that I go and she would pay. I really don't want her to because it is HER birthday but she insisted and told me that it was her birthday dinner and it wouldn't be the same without me so, I said ok, because I didn't want to offend her or make her upset on her birthday.

Then for the club were going to the same place we went for my birthday because every Saturday they have dollar drink night. I hate spending a fortune on drinks when we go out so we always go out with there are specials.

I also wanted to announce that I'm going to start making my own jewelry and sell it on Etsy. I wanted to blog about this earlier in the week but the power cord to my boyfriend's computer is no longer fixable so we have to wait until we have money to buy a new battery. Luckly, my friends John and Jeremy are coming up on Wednesday and they have my laptop so they are bringing that with them. They were suppose to come up this weekend for Jackie's birthday but were unable to.

Anyway, my boyfriend was talking about how he wanted to sell this cloth that one of his coworkers, at Sears, is selling. Its this amazing cloth (which goes by that name, or something like it) and Kody was able to clean his entire car with it and it looked like he had just gotten back from the car wash. All he did was take the cloth to it and it cleaned up all the water spots that were on the car. I thought he did go to the car wash but he said he didn't. So he want's to start selling that around at all the car businesses in town. It is originally to be used around the house but apparantly it can be used for other things as well.

While he was getting excited about selling this cloth, I was wondering what I could do to rake in some money. It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to find a job anytime soon because my car still needs fixed and then it needs tags and insurance, and by the time that happens our phones will probably be shut off because we haven't had the money to pay them in a couple months. So I got to thinking, and I thought of all the girls around the blogisphere that sell their homemade jewlery on Etsy so I thought, I should do that to. And Kody said he used to make and sell jewery with his brother, when they were younger and needed money, so he said they he would help me. We wen't to Micheal's just to get an idea of what kind of beads and stuff they had, so when Kody get's paid next week, were going to go back and buy some stuff. Hopefully we will have the money to do so, because I'm really excited to start this and start raking in some money myself.

So what do ya guys think? Do you think I could do it?

Cute Jewelry and Nice Weather

The other day I was the winner of a Fabulous Chic bracelet from Fabulous Chic Designs. Today I got my bracelet in the mail and I have to say that I love it! Its soo cute and my favorite color =)

Here is a picture of it...

How cute is that?

Anyway all of you also have a chance at winning something too. Just visit the blog of Fabulous Chic Designs called Fabulous Life on a Not So Fabulous Budget and comment on the item of the week. You can also visit the website of Fabulous Chic Designs at www.fabulouschic.etsy.com to buy any of the fabulous pieces of jewelry. If I had money I know that I would buy something ;)

On another note...I'm so excited that the weather is finally been nice enough to wear shorts. Its been such a long winter here in Ohio and the start of spring was not looking too good with rain almost every day. We now finally have 80 degree weather and the sun is shining.

Yesterday I even went on a walk through the park with boyfriend. We were there for about an hour and I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm not the exercise type so a long walk is a big thing for me. But he wants to start getting in shape so its probably time for me to do the same. I'm just so out of shape that I lose my breath really quickly. He's actually out running right now but I decided to stay behind. One step at a time for me! Maybe I'll go tomorrow ;)

For now I'm just going to kick back in front of the TV and catch up on some blog reading! I hope everyone is enjoying their week =)
