My day was half-way productive. I managed to get out of bed and go to class, but I chickened out after chemistry. Why? Well I had a break for 3 hours went home to pay my rent. I just didn't leave. I couldn't get up. I started off calling a few doctors about random things, making appointments to get my car fixed (my poor little broken bunny..) to try and continue my wave of productivity.
THEN- I slipped into my corset and petticoat, did some cleaning (yes, there was a feather duster involved). I went through my closet to see if I could put together a pirate costume for the Ren fest this year, and I think managed to do a decent job. I need a really big feather for my hat, a few crazy jewelry things, and a sword. But for the most part my entire costume is coming out of my closet. AWESOME. I belong in the circus. I also figured out my halloween costume, catholic school girl! woot. I know it's super easy and cheating, but I don't care. It saves me money so I can spend it on other things. like beer. LOL
Then the creation of the cards began.
A few days ago I realized that letters are like long-distant hugs. They are sincere, warm, genuine, and heartfelt just like hugs!! Even though the practice of mail correspondence is nearly or at least believed to be extinct, there are quite a few trying to keep it alive! I am one of the few. Writing letters is the perfect way to send something special your closest friends and loved ones! I know every time I get a letter I save it (unless it's junk mail or coupons.. well sometimes I even save the coupons LOL). It always brightens my day. ((SIDEBAR: when I was a little girl, I used to think that bubbles were so beautiful that they would bring joy to those who were sad. So I used to stand at the end of my driveway blowing bubbles for hours, hoping that it would make some sad person, at least a little happier.)) Anyways, here are a few examples of what I ended up making!!

Inside of each of them were cute little sayings that sort of matched the outside of the card. Cute? I think so. But would anyone buy those?? Could I sell them on etsy? Hmmmm..
I've also knitted two bibs (for Kevin's baby girl) and I'm working on the third. They're all different shades of purples. When I finish the last one I'll post pictures. That pretty much does it for my knitting projects.
After I flipped through the glamour magazine, I decided to rip it up and make collages out of them. I was thinking about using some of my other posters. I also want to plant a few things outside my apartment (even if it's just basil and a few flowers). I also want to make a wind chime!!! And possibly, in the spirit of Halloween, carve a pumpkin!!
In other news my brother berated me about how I've squandered my voice and he has encouraged me to start practicing and possibly talk to the head of the jazz department at U of H.
I just had the WORST temptation: to get a twitter account. oh god. my soul.
