Tomorrow, I will be heading out to my parents house for a night before we begin our journey down south. I’m pretty excited about this trip. I haven’t been on a trip down to Florida in 4 years! My swimsuit is bought and my bags are packed. I’m usually not so hot about swimming in swimming pools…but I love going to the beach. I feel kinda bad because David has to deal with all of the moving stuff while I’m gone. Our subleaser couldn’t come sign the papers today because he was in a car accident (*eep* he is ok though!), and we haven’t seen the new lease yet. I have a list of questions to ask the guy…like will he mow the lawn? David will have to get both of these done while I’m gone, ’cause we plan on moving into the house the day after i get back! Tonight is my last night in my apt! *tear* I hope this whole process stays as smooth as it has gone so far.
I have been job hunting lately, and I have a few applications sitting my table. I’m sending off for my substitute teacher’s certificate, and I put in at Jo-Anne’s Fabrics. Today, I picked up at application for Arnold’s Market, a small locally owned grocery store near our new home. I have a friend who has worked there for 5 years that I am putting as a reference…so I hope I have a shot at becoming a checker there. He wants me to apply for the butcher’s department (he’s a butcher), but I don’t know if I could deal with the dead meat smell.
I finished my latest wallet today. I haven’t been doing much in the workshoppe, and was determined to get this finished before I left for Florida. It’s not as elaborate as my other wallets on the outside…but it is more functional on the inside. Now that it’s done I wish I had put some more flair on it…oh well.
I really like how simple the new wallet is, it’s a lot more bold and stylish! Especially with that fabric! Maybe you can add like one charm or something, but it looks pretty classy as-is =D
Hmm…yea, I guess Steampunk can be classy…I always go for gaudy though. ^_^
I worked at Jo-Ann’s two different times (in Carbondale and in Minnesota). It’s a really fun job! Plus you get first pick of all the new fabric and meet lots of other crafters. Though, granted, most of them are little old lady quilters.
Tip if you work there: never ask the drag queens what they’re making. They hate that.
OMG Sada I want that Wallet, and a handbag to match!!! How much?!??!?
I am excited for your trip and your job hunting. Arnold’s Market is THE BOMB.
