Honing My Graphic Skills

I redid the window graphic and really like it now. Next I want to revamp the plant and make a door. :) I think I'm getting a bit better every day at this graphic stuff. :)

New Threads

All the backgrounds are mine now. I might adjust the colors later. But, for now I'm happy.

Yesterday we went to Wal-mart. BUT, I forgot deodorant, so we have to go back today.

I did however find a nice meeting outfit. A corduroy skirt, and a soft ribbed sweater to match it, both in cappuccino. I look better in reds and wines, they had a wine skirt but it wasn't my size. GRRRRR. But, I will just have to wear jewelry with the cappuccino one to make it look nice on me. But, I've been needing some new clothes, and I like it. I also got a nice satin shirt. That has vertical stripes alternating shiny and dull satin. I thought it would go with almost anything, it's cream color.

I need a full length mirror though, so I can see what I look like before I leave, grrrrr. I've came home twice and seen in the door downstairs reflection I had had my slip showing 3 inches, two different times. No one bothered to tell me! They had full length mirrors at Wal-mart last summer for 5 dollars. But, Vince wanted to wait! GRR Now the cheapest ones is 20 there. But, he says maybe next time he gets paid we can get one. I hope so. Cause, I don't want to come home again with my slip showing 3 or 4 inches! So embarrassing. They probably think I'm some kind of simpleton.

Vince?

I'm not feeling too well today. And I'm a bit bored. I need to work on how Vince looks in my drawing of him.

Missed Book Study

I drew Vince and I today. I did better with my mom, then Vince and & I. Oh well. I also did a quilt square, finally. I want to make one for my home page too.

We didn't make it to meeting last night, I wasn't feeling well and had fallen asleep, Vince didn't want to wake me up. GRRRRR, I had been all prepared. But, it was probably better to stay home, and not get sicker out, and/or make the older ones in the book study sick.

Mean Green

Theresa Dunn & Reagan Dunn

I made a new blinkie today. I'm real proud of it. It's a drawing of a actual picture of my mother. I just love it! I also added shading to my I love my hubby blinkie.

Yesterday we rented The Road to Eldorado. I'll watch it later today. Maybe after meeting. I got my favorite meal again from Boston Market. And Vince is starting to like spinach! I'm so happy. lol

Missing Aida

I told Vince about the volunteering. He said ok. lol

Aida, has to be paid by Saturday. I don't think I will go cause Vince has to work, and I don't want to go with out him. Especially with the price. But, he wants me to go. I don't even know what I would wear.

I did get a idea for something to do with some friends from the congregation. I thought it would be good to get a group together to go to DC and visit the Holocaust Museum. It would be a day trip. I've wanted to see it since Purple Triangles came out. I hope we can. I did get to see the outside before the convention when we drove through DC though.

Volunteer

I'm doing so much better on meeting attendance. I had been so sick for so long. My meeting attendance had been very low. Now, it's up very well. I am so happy with myself. I wouldn't really know how well I was doing if it wasn't for my sticker/calendar idea. I forget so much.

It was a good meeting. And I volunteered Vince and I for something. lol He doesn't know yet. He had to work tonight. But, he will be at meeting on Thursday. Any way, we had a local needs talk. And well we are building a new Kingdom Hall. They will need security round the clock for 9 months. So I have put Vince and I on the list to do security. lol I've done it before. And I can help teach Vince. I think it will be something good for us. We can really talk and get some personal study in. They also are providing us a trailer to stay in. That's nicer then when I've done it before. lol

I can also help with food, but they don't have that set up yet.

Cooled Off

Well, 7 degrees makes a huge difference. lol It's been between 79 and 81 degrees. Today it is 72 degrees. It feels so much better. I have a really good fan in the bedroom and it's just lovely in there. lol I actually got cold in the night. In the living room it's still warm, but I put up a box fan, so it is helping. I just need another vornado type fan for the living room. We tried to get one, earlier this year but the stores were out of them.

Yesterday I got heat rash it was so hot. Today I feel so much better! It's finally cooled off. I hope it stays cooled off. I will be very happy if it does! :)

I rented A Beautiful Mind today. We've already rented 18 movies. If I had a car I could have rented more. lol I was bored all day yesterday, nothing was on. On Thursday when Vince gets paid we are buying Monsters Inc. So we are keeping it till then. So that way we get to buy the one we have. So that way we have a brand new one. Since we got ours the day after it came out, so we were the first to rent it. And when we go to take it back for 9.99 we can buy it. So that's what we will do. It was pretty good for a cartoon. :)

HOT!

I've been so hot the past few days. YUCK! Heat heat go away, don't come back some other day! I am really pining for the coldness to come. I just can't take much more of this heat.

Learning Graphic Drawing

I've been drawing today. I made me a bride of the month blinkie, and a quilt rack. I don't care too much for my quilt rack, it is the first one I ever made. Well, The raggedy ann was the first one I made and I wish I was better at drawing her. Those were my first candles too, I like them pretty well. But, I'm real happy with my month bride blinkie.

Made it!

Had a good meeting today. We were a bit late though. GRRR Vince's mom wanted him to help her go buy a TV. I told him I thought it would make us late. So the TV is still in our truck, cause when he came home from the dolly to take it into their house, it was already past 11, and our meeting is at 12. And they live 30 minutes from us. So I insisted we go to meeting instead of keep on with a TV! So we were a tad late. But, we made it. Vince's dad agreed to help him take it in tonight after he gets off work.

But, the Watchtower was good. And even though I think I buy modest clothing, I may try to get a little more modest. One comment said we shouldn't wear jeans cause the kids in the pictures were all wearing Khaki's. But, I think that was to make them stand out. I don't see anything wrong with modest fitting jeans. And plus it's hard for me to find Khakis in my size. I see nothing wrong with wearing jeans when it is a casual time. As long as they aren't tight, extra baggy, wide, etc like the fads. And plus I don't have much else as far as casual wear goes for winter time to wear. I have a couple of Khakis but they are too small for me now. I have been eyeing some cords though. I always liked cords when they were in style when I was young. I never understood why they went out. I also always liked the cord jackets for men, with the leather elbow patches. That was always one of my favorite men's jackets. LOL I now see Wal-mart has the same kind of brown leather coat with the sheep skin like in the inside that I wore in kindergarten. I really wanted it, but it was like 60 dollars, and I didn't have the money even though it was reasonable.

Skeered

Ok this is bad. We don't have screens on the windows, but it's so hot we have to have them open. Now I hear a chirping type sound, or it could be a nasty bug I don't know. I'm worried there's either a bug or a bird in the apt. I'm scared to go look in the corner I hear it from.

I watched Monster's Inc. It was really cute. I'm thinking about buying it, since we can only be either the first or second renters, and if we tell them we want it when we take it back, we can buy it for 9.99.

Study in Isaiah

Vince is still asleep so I haven't been able to exchange DVDs yet.

I went to book study last night with my father in law. Vince had to work. He has to miss one book study a month. Any way it was a great study, and I got to comment a lot. Of course it was our first study in the second volume of the Isaiah book. And I learned several things I didn't know before. This is really interesting.

I've also instated a new visual for my meeting attendance and other spiritual goals. I have a pocket calendar, I put a blue star on every day that I go to meeting. I will get a star for service and prestudy too. yeah! That way I can see visually if I am improving, or what I need to improve on at a glance, instead of having to search my memory. Or beat my self up on things, I may be doing good on. So yeah, I got to add another star last night. lol

Although I didn't get it all the way finished studied, I only got it studied through paragraph 14. And then.... grrrrr we ran over time, so they didn't read those last paragraphs and therefore I was kind of lost. That will teach me! lol Same thing happened the first day of pioneer school. Taught me if I couldn't finish it all, to skip to the end, cause most people won't have the end studied and there won't be many comments if any. My PSS got in trouble that day cause no one raised their hands on the last 3 questions. Although they had told us to only take 45 minutes per a unit to study. I had taken about 90 minutes per a unit and just was getting too tired and didn't finish the last few questions. That taught me, when I started getting tired to skip to the end. lol We didn't get in trouble any more during PSS cause I would raise my hand. lol

Last night was also the first episode of SURVIVOR! lol We had it recorded so I got to watch it when I got home. It was good. Already has some new twist. And I already have a team I'm rooting for, but not a particular person yet. I'm rooting for the older wiser team. I'm excited to see how this plays out.
