Thinking of someone

When you are in a relationship, you become someone that thinks not only of themselves but of the other person as well. I think that I am ready to make that commitment but I am not sure that someone else is ready to do that.... I am the type of person that is completely okay with spending everyday with that person and not care to see anyone else. I am perfectly aware that I am one of the only people in this world that feels this way, so I am willing to work with him on that. I am willing to give him time with his friends. He just needs to not get my hopes up because that is the point that it becomes devastating to me. I can't stand to be alone and by doing this, it is causes me to freak out. When you are in a relationship, if they aren't feeling well, you are SUPPOSED to nurture them back to help. Or even ask if they are doing okay. It is just plain rude not to. All I have to say is if you have to be with me, maybe you should be a better companion.

Oh Christmas!!!!

As some of you may know, I have a growing obsession with vintage Christmas. Right now, being March, others think I am completely crazy for thinking about Christmas right now when it is roughly 80 degrees outside. This just means that the estate sales and garage sale are coming up and that triggers pure happiness inside of me because I know that there are going to be vintage Christmas decorations. Just a few days ago I went to an estate sale and when I got there it was more like a garage sale. However, they did have three vintage knee-hugging elves, a vintage Santa, a vintage Mrs. Claus, a vintage West Germany mouse, and a sequin ornament for only $2!!!!! That is the best deal ever! Each one of the elves go for roughly $15 each and the Santa and Mrs. Claus are worth like $5 each. So basically I got my moneys worth.
Not only did I fall in love with the elves but I remembered the vintage Putz houses. I started making miniature ones. I will post pictures of them when they are finished! Have a wonderful summer Christmas

Corn Growing Experience Day One

As some of you may know, I work at the movie theatre. However, what you may not know is that you can actually grow corn stalks from kernels that you would put in the popper to make popcorn. For my friend and my own amusement, we are growing our own corn stalks from these kernels. I took like twelve or so kernels from work yesterday and have been soaking then in water for a while. I plan to plant them in a little pot today. Here is a picture of what on Day One of growing the kernels look like. I will keep you all posted on how this experiment works out.

ENGAGED!

As some of you may know, I got engaged to my wonderful boyfriend, Wyatt. The proposal wasn't something wonderful but the man and the ring sure are! Wyatt got my ring on Etsy.com and it is a Topaz. The Topaz stone is roughly 12 carats so it is a HUGE stone. He got the ring knowing that it is two sizes bigger than I wear because we both thought that it could easily be re sized. However, it is turning out to not be so. Being a jewelry maker myself, I should have realized that the stone is in a bezel setting rather than a prong setting which is next to impossible to take the stones out of. The stone would have to be taken out and then re sized. Even Helzberg Diamond doesn't have the tools to re size it. Maybe, I should just have the stone taken out of the bezel and put into a new setting. I am thinking something made of yellow gold but I am not totally sure which karat though. Since we are next to broke, I am hoping that if I provide the stones and stuff like that, I will be able to get a new setting made for this stone. This is a large stone so it is not easily fitted into a setting. Especially because it is a pear shaped stone and has to have the point protected. Any ideas on stones to go on the side of the solitaire? Perhaps even pearls are something that would look good.

sell things

So I need to stop screwing myself by selling things to antique store owners. I pretty much will NEVER learn. So much regret......

crystal

All that is shattered can become new. All that is old is not forgotten. Treasure what you have and enjoy what you don't because someday you will be like me, have a growing collection and only long to have more. I feel like there is a deeper meaning behind my problems but I am not sure how to pin point it. If any of you have any ideas of what to do with crystal vases and crystal dishes and such, please let me know because I am becoming more and more obsessed with them by the minute.

How Ridiculous!

I am thoroughly annoyed that when any one's birthday is coming up, everyone is always talking about it, asking what they want for their birthday, and planning parties. Well that is not the same for my birthday. My birthday has pretty much gone unmentioned. Even my dad, the man that complains about how much money he doesn't have, buys a brand- fucking- new KIA Soul even though he said he would never buy a new car again. What a freaking lie!!! Another thing, is that when people do ask me what I want to my birthday or any holiday frankly, I make a list and put it on my blog so that everyone has access to it. But do they ever get me anything from the damn list??? NO! Why even waste my damn time making it.
Another thing that bothers the shit out of me is when my parents call me hoarders everyday but don't even think twice about how to help me. I have tried so hard not to buy stuff but it pretty much doesn't work at all. ESPECIALLY when they are always calling me a hoarder. I thank you all for the support! NOT! Maybe, just maybe, an idea would be to HELP me get organized. But NO! Just keep criticizing me. That is what I am used to. That goes for my weight as well. Just keep bitching about my weight and how I am spending money. MAYBE, buy some god damn healthy food for the house so we don't have to go out or anything. Another thing that gave me the rage was when I mentioned getting an exercise bike all they said was, WE DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THAT!!!! Are you FUCKING SHITTING ME???!!! I am pretty sure that we can make room for something that is going to make their own fucking kid healthier.
