updating

ok i'm back. again. this semester finally ended yesterday and i'm so fucking relieved!  for some reason, this semester really stressed me out and took a lot of my time!! it feels so good that it's 11:53 right now and i'm in bed...on the computer, watching the view.  oh i love it!  just one more semester to go and i'll be freeeeee! thank the lord!!

so, i haven't had an ounce of inspiration inside of me lately.  i try and try, but it just won't happen.  i can't tell you how many times this has happened:

1. pack tons of shit out of my scrapbook room

2. drag it all downstairs (so i can hang with adam and scrapbook)

3. set it up

4. pick out paper which paper i'll use (which, by the way, is a very long process for me)

5. get frustrated cause don't know what to do with anything (as if i've never scrapped)

6. pack everything back up

7. take it back upstairs

8. accomplish nothing

but, hopefully tomorrow this will change because i'm scrapping with my favorite scrapper...Staci!!  she usually inspires me and i just LOVE looking at all her stuff....you guys, she has SOOO much stuff, it always makes me want to shop...it's crazy!  BUT, she's in the same scrapbook/life rut!!!  hopefully, we can come up with something tomorrow.

by the way, i know i haven't updated in forever...but does anyone still read my blog? especially scrappers since there's absolutely no inspo happening on this blog.

Have you ever wondered.....

why tears come out of our eyes when we cry? or how mirrors work?  or how we only see one of everything even though we have two eyes? or what the purpose of eyebrows really are? why? why? why?  everyone who knows me, knows that i ask a million questions...and it's usually something that no one has answers to.  Well my friends, I have found a grrreat website...it's so much fun and i spent a very long time on it last night.  And i must say, i quizzed Adam on a lot of the trivia/facts and he got 9 out of 10 of them correct! WTF, Adam?! 

I know I said that i was gonna post pictures of my "my loves" book but i was too busy to take the pics and figure out how to upload them onto my mac...by the way, i love macs, they really are the shit! But I will do that soon so i can share with you my new favorite mini book!

And here's something i want and am very tempted to get! i love it! you can find other cool ones here.

p.s. adam, if you're reading this, i still think you were too general so you had to be right!!

holy moly!!

I can't believe it's been so long since i've blogged!!  I've just really been extremely busy with school and haven't felt like i had anything excited to share...not like i really ever did.  So i was just being lazy, i guess! So here's what's been up with me (it's not a whole lot):

* i got a new mac and i'm in love with it!  now my pc seems like total junk!

* i'm working with an awesome photographer, designing digital albums.  so fun!

* falling behind in school work

* haven't done laundry in about a month...and that's no joke!

* haven't purchased a single scrapbook product in a long time...over a month!  I don't think I've even stepped foot into a scrapbook store!

*This entire summer, I've only scrapbooked a handfull of times. i don't like that.  But I will post my almost completed "my loves" album...love the way it turned out!

be back with some fun pics tomorrow!

eve and her apple

since adam and farah were the bartenders at marilyn's shower, farah went out and bought a shit load of liquor so they could practice making drinks...this is what the craziness looked like...look at all the liquor!

since we're on the subject of liquor...i'll share a funny memory with you. A few years ago, a few girlfriends and I went to Chicago for a weekend trip. Next to our hotel was a small grocery store and a light bulb went off... I had the best idea! Since I had been so sick of the bar and sick of nasty guys with their ridiculous pick up lines, I was going to get them back. I went into the grocery store, bought an apple, and off to the bar I went. I had a plan. The first guy that was going to talk to me was going to be the victim. And here he is... as soon as he asked me my name I busted out my apple, bit into it and said, "Eve". I thought for sure he'd go away after that but he DIDN'T!! He kept talking to me! I mean didn't he think that was strange?! And he asked me what I was going to school for and I said nutrition! I guess my plan didn't go as perfectly as planned. But at least I got a picture! (lydia was waiting for me to do it lol)

and here's the last thing i wanted to show you guys. I made marilyn's wedding invitations. After proofing everything a million times with marilyn, I printed 158 of them and put it together....

....and then I noticed a mistake!

decisions, decisions, decisions...

...i hate them!

Why am I SO damn indecisive?!! It's so bad it gets on my OWN nerves!!!! I change my mind a million times with everything...it's crazy! It even happens with scrapbooking! For example, a few times this week I set up my scrapbook stuff downstairs because I was feeling creative but after unloading everything and getting organized, I decide that i really don't feel like scrapping! It's weird.

I have a new dilemma. I got offered a job deal with the photographer I'm working with now that I almost can't resist! The problem is I can't take this job, juggle it with school and work at my current job...too much. I know I'd LOVE this job if I decide to take it...it's very "scrapbookish", but I feel so bad for leaving Starfish! I don't know what to do and I want to make a decision sooner rather than later so I can start making some money! I wish someone would just tell me what to do!!!

finished

yay! i finished my first digital wedding album for my new job! wow..i really can't believe how long it took me! learning and getting used to the computer software was pretty tough, but i'm getting the hang of it. i actually got another book to work on today and i'm hoping to have it done in a few hours.

after a LONG day at school yesterday, i had to do something fun before i called it a day so i made a few simple pages for my "R" book.



and i got the necklace in the mail today!!! I LOVE IT!

and check out the tag it came on...yup, that will definitely be used somehow, somewhere....i love it! don't you just love finding free embellishments? i went to lohemanns the other day with marie and saw a cute red sticker tag on a pair of jeans that said "i want to live like this forever"..yup, took that too. how could i not?!

i hate school!

really, i am so over school! the closer i get to graduation the more i HATE it! i especially dispise it when the professor makes you introduce yourself to the class: 1. it's so childish and makes me feel like i'm in 3rd grade and 2. who the fuck cares about what u say about yourself?! i'm actually blogging as someone is introducing herself..eerrgh! also, i have to be here for 8 hours every tuesday and thursday....this is what i have to say to everyone that's enjoying themselves in this beautiful weather today (and every tues and thurs for the rest of the summer):
