Little Shadow

This little guy has been wanting to join in on all the fun lately. I can't keep her away from all my side projects!


Or away from anything for that matter. I think this is the farthest away she'll stay from you...

And even then it's just because there's a window and I told her no table. (So what does she do? The counter. Don't worry we have lysol spray ready to go haha.) 

They weren't kidding at the shelter when they said she was a companion kitty! I'll tell you what though. Staying home alone until 1:00am when Austin comes home sucks. Having a little shadow around makes it so great! Even if she does try and bite my yarn while I crochet. Buddies forever!


Speaking of crocheting, I am almost done with my chunky-knit scarf! 


After that I'm on to two aprons Susan brought down the pattern for me to make. 




Austin and I have started Insanity again because we're not active outside anymore (it's gonna snow Friday here! What??) It's hard to motivate yourself. Everyone is on a diet and starting Insanity at my work, and so I was like... danggit now I have to do Insanity because you all do it and are looking so great! When I posted a Sean T. meme on facebook, my step-brother mentioned he started same day. Extra motivation between us all! Plus penguin and star stickers make everything worth doing ;)


And I need a good excuse to wear my beloved adidas pants. 


The hardest part I think for me is going to be cutting down a bit on my proportions. If I'm gonna exercise, I don't want to do all that work for nothing! One way I try to look at it (because we had a date last night at Grand Pizza) I get Pizza for lunch today too! Whoopie! 


I also have been trying to illustrate a lot to get the shop snowballing. 

Everyone needs body parts because they're hard to draw, so here's to hands!



I'm trying my very best to keep things moving along despite what's tugging at my mind lately (did I get in the program?) I'm learning moving on and doing things you want/love ultimately keep you happy no matter what it is --education, exercise, a dang pizza you want, kitties, illustrating and artwork, awesome dates with your husband...

I'm good, we're good, it's all good. 

xoxo, from Wyoming

To Be Honest.

I've been thinking a lot, and a lot has been going on.  Lorde radio on Pandora is a good way to zone out. So is sewing, and doing all those other mindless activities I love, and that keep me happy. I haven't written on this blog because to be honest, it's been difficult lately. To get the sob story quick and out of the way, I've been in a self-pity mode, and super down on myself. I had a very difficult time at BYU because of a crappy life occurrence that made the decision to leave the best decision of my life. It was hard to get my BFA between the BYU's when I transferred, and I couldn't work on a second diploma I was seeking. I ended up with the most amazing BFA situation though, and that has been a blessing. (And the most awesome thing happened too, obviously. --marriage! I would never ever change that!) The last year into my BFA I found out definitive stuff about my dystonia, including no children. And the nursing program chase has not be

Grateful.

Austin has been the best support. I definitely married out of my league.  He's been very proactive in finding lots of healthy things for my recommended diet (by the neurological disorder peeps, and an intolerance.) because my hemidystonia has had less spasms and cramps. As of lately, brown rice bread!  Seriously, it's great even if you don't need wheat-free. It's a nice change of pace! It's sweet and light. .:Recipe Here:. We grind our own brown rice to save money. Winco here in Idaho has  the best deal for bulk brown rice :)  Here's a crazy picture of my hand, this was actually the first spasm/cramp I've had in a bit. (Haha, least my nails are painted ;) ) This is actually why (for those of you who've asked) Intaglio will not be my last degree. I was informed that I've got a good chance of this happening to my right side too.  Art might get interesting! But I plan to keep doing it as a career too, no matter what!

Moonrise Bunnies

Thank you for the chocolate bunnies Carmen Family!! we may or may have not remembered it was easter? Such a Surprise! In sad news, our favorite video store is going out of business. We loved getting recommendations from the people who worked there. Austin and I had no idea our favorite date spot was going out and went to go get a movie.... and we ended up with this sweet stack!! (They sold them waaay discounted. We got all of these for the price of two new DVDs!)  It was funny because when we walked in and realized what was going on, we freaked out because we wanted our favorite movies! Everything Illuminated and Moonrise Kingdom (among others but these were the first ones that came to mind) And Everything Illuminated was gone! Austin freaked because he couldn't remember what Moonrise Kingdom was called. He said... EDWARD NORTON. WHICH ONE WAS THAT?? Of course I look at him like wtf are you talking about the Hulk or the Painted Veil or something? Fig
