My Thirty Days of Literary Abandon

So today is day 13 of National Novel Writing Month. I have been behind for almost this whole week! I got lazy last weekend and didn't write almost the whole time! ugh idiot! But now, tonight, I am finally caught up! YAY! I am at 21,000. And did I mention I am handwriting ALL of this. It is definitely hard to get the spare time to write and not be distracted, but that is the good thing about handwriting, you can take it anywhere. At first I didn't know if I would be able to handwrite the entire thing, now I am a little under half way through and I can say with about 98% certainty that I will be able write it all by hand! What I need some help with is where are some crazy places I should write? I definitely need some challenges, some dares to spice things up! For anyone who is familiar I have already added the bloody shovel to my story, and it is surprisng me. It really does have a mind of it's own! Give me some ideas! For now I must rest my writing hand, and brain!

School and Ocracoke

Hello Everyone well I haven't written in a long time. I've been so busy with school and work. And as every woman can understand a significant other can be a full time job on it's own. But besides keeping my nose in the books and the ice cream, I have been able to squeeze a little bit of fun into my life. The weekend of the 21st in March we all took off and went to the beautiful island of Ocracoke for some tourism. It was so nice and relaxing, as much as I dislike tourists I love being one! But now that I'm home it's back to work. I have been getting more interested in art journaling lately. I've always kept a journal but now i'm doing more sketching and creating and brainstorming. And I think it's absolutely fabulous! If you're interested you can find some great videos by suzi blu and the creators of Journal Revolution have some wonderful ideas! But for now that's all folks! Always create!

Relaxing Day!

Hey guys, so with school, super scooping ice cream and taking care of my significant other I'm pretty smashed at the end of the week. But through everything I've been able to make many many crochet things. It's so relaxing. Speaking of relaxing if you want to kick back with a good movie, try the new "Rock" movie, The Game Plan. It's so good and definitely a great family movie. Anyway, enough of the boring talk. Here's the update. Britney "the wrecking ball" Spears has been released from rehab and Kirsten Dunst has been admitted after excessive partying. Whose it going to be next week? The Grammy's are coming up soon and I heard Amy Winehouse is going to perform. That is if she doen't get high and forget or get arrested on the way there. Oh and by the way, my condolences to any Patriot fans. I'm not a big football fan, but I am a Tom Brady fan! But oh well there's always next year, and we've still got more Brady Stetson ads to look forward to! Well that's about it for the night! Until tomorrow! Keep your eyes and ears open! ~ Jordan

Time has gone by...

Well it has been such a long time since I've written. It seems like as time goes by my life gets more and more hectic. I'm sure that was most cliched phrase. But that really is how it seems. Anyway, During christmas I was so busy with work and getting ready to start school, and getting christmas together. In the end ofcourse everything came out great, and there was still the few things that didn't get done, but the world has kept spinning just fine! Now that school has started I'm even busier, plus working and daily life. But as busy as it is I'm happy. Everyday I realize that my life is really good, even though sometimes I think it is awful. One thing I think that has really helped me to relax and enjoy, is crocheting. As dumb as it sounds this is serious. I don't know what it is, but for some reason it is so soothing and i never get tired of it. It's amazing how something so small can have such a big effect on you. So that's what i've been up to. Have a great day!

SICK!

So I've been sick lately so I haven't written, but now I'm getting better. I've been crocheting a new scarf for my boss. I started it wednesday amd I had only about 5 days to do it in. Now four days later I'm more than half way done. This is a big feat for me since the first scarf I made took about a month. But that was because half way through I lost interest because I thought it wasn't going to look good. So anyways the boss scarf is going great, and I should be finishing it early! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I Love Christmas!

Well I have been very busy doing Christmas stuff and buying presents. And I'm almost through this mess. But there have been some cute pictures out of these stressful times! We took alot og good ones for our christmas card. Oh and by the way for christmas I'm making my mom a scarf. So we'll see how that turns out. Until next time.

" Look what Santa brought me for Christmas!"

My New Camera Bag!!!

So I Finished my crocheted camera bag for my new camera! I'm so excited! I can't believe how good it came out. It only took me about 3, 30 minute sessions over two days. This is only my second crochet project, the first was a scarf and that took about two weeks. It also doesn't look good at the beginning where I was still getting the hang of crocheting. But this bag is definitely good all around. Does anyone else have some fun projects for a novice? Have a good night! Ciao!
