Pizza makes Everyone happy right?

This has been by far the craziest... meanest, baddest semester for both of us.

But good news is I survived my most feared class....and well! Austin did a lot of his senior writing classes for the most part, and next semester applications go in! The guy has managed to do so awesome that every last school has waived his fee for applying! (I think Nebraska we might have to pay... but yay!) Something like 13 schools each $50-$80? Go Austie! For those of you asking, most of his applications don't even need to be turned in until March 2013... I assure you there will be an awesome post when we find out!

I get CPR certification, and CNA classes start in February! And of course my favorite, my BFA!

Seven plates people, I have done seven pieces with copper plates!

And you know what I did last night when finals finally calmed a bit?

I read this bad boy. It's my second love.

If anyone has good books, I'm totally into it! Austin, I'm sure, doesn't ever want to read a book again after this semester. He had two 20 page papers, and two 10 pagers? Yuuuck.

Plus he kept getting Amazon.com boxes with more and more research books. I was kind of jealous so I used my birthday art card to Dick Blicks and ordered myself a Guerilla Box Painter. I cannot wait till I can paint for FUN!

Oh, and just some word of advice on keeping husbands happy during finals,

save all the pizza from class. I can't eat it anyway... Austin has scored. I dunno why my professors keep bribing my classes with pizza, but I always end up with a box of it staring me in my gluten-intolerant face. So I do, I take some. But then I give it to Austin which = no more finals grumps.

Flying Solo

Austin's been a solo man as of late.... I got super sick with a bacterial infection (as of late, more tests to come.) But before that was Austin with a 5 day flu, and then me with the flu, and then when I got better from that, I got an infection woot woot! Healthy over here! I got super flu-y again over the weekend and I won't go into details. I got a bit better and I had been fine to go teach a class on Monday at my college because I had gotten over what I though to be whatever Austin had. Then Tuesday went to my CNA class. And while I was there I was talking to a friend. She was telling me about her annoying apartment neighboors and I shouted, " UM... I'mma be sick hold on...." And I swear to St. Maria I have every trash can mapped out in that EITC building because when I went bursting down the hallway to the bathroom, it felt like friggin videogames and finding checkpoints. I ended up cleaning the EITC bathroom stall for them.... let's...

Snowglobes of Wonder and Joy

I made snowglobes! I've always loved those, even as a little kid. Then I saw DIY's on Pinterest, and thought.... Why hadn't I thought of making them before?? So in a nutshell, jars, hot glue, brush christmas trees (or anything plastic-y) glitter... and then to fill the jar, distilled water, glitter and some corn syrup to thicken it! I made all of these (already had jars) for $4.00! We attempted a gingerbread house with some friends... as you can see it looks like a crackhouse. So... I think it's best I stick with the kind of art I know haha! I made a lot of books this break, and Austin can't complain cause he's an Eng. Lit. He's been busy cooking some more amazing meals and snacks! Those are a healthy alfredo with quinoa base, and the other are applechips! Visit our Recipe page for cooking instructions .:here:. Also, for those who don't already know after my super obnoxious facebook excitement...

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...
