you know you want to!
I'm excited to say that my classes are going well so far. I've been called several times to sub already this month; yay! I've had some good kids so far, some of whom begged me to come back and be their permanent teacher. <3 I've also been doing well with my Joann classes. I've taught 15 people crochet so far. =D That's exciting to me. My bf thinks I should also take up a part time waitressing job. Not entirely sure I want to get back into food. I really hated it before... >_<*
There was a decent sized fire nearby two days ago in George W Bush park and seeing all the smoke from that was not fun. It was kinda scary, being worried if the wind was going to change direction and decide to push the fire my way, but luckily no. It only burned inside the park, so all the surrounding neighborhoods are very grateful and lucky. We're praying for rain, we need it desperately, so please say a prayer for the state. =)
My bf and i made shepards pie the other night. So good! =D tonight is tostadas! I'm enjoying cooking, so any good recipes you want to share would be greatly appreciated and tested! =D
Other than that, i'm just crocheting some more. I finished a blanket and have 2 more in progress. =) I will keep you updated with some pictures soon! =)

Hello everyone! I decided to pick this book up, because I've heard nothing but good things said about it from people and book clubs. Plus, with the movie out, the book is sold at a good discount! =) I haven't started it yet, but I will let you know as I go along what I think of it.
I am quite relieved that the weather has decided to release it's death grip and cool down a lil bit. It's still hot, but 83 is MUCH better than 105! All we need now is rain and desperately so. I'm worried about how many homes, acres and people will be lost before relief comes. We need it terribly, but there is a high pressure sitting on top of Texas that has basically refused to move. Until it does, we can't get the rain we need. There is a perfectly good tropical storm that would help us sooooo much, but unfortunately it is going to be forced to go into Mexico. Prayers would still be greatly appreciated, even though we've all been praying the entire summer.
I'm teaching crochet classes at Joann now. I really like that they have a classroom in the back of the store too. We have an open house on the second Saturday of each month, where you can purchase the classes for half off! It's a major deal! It's less money for me, but I don't mind too much. I'm happy I'm being paid to teach something I love to do. I've been working on two more charity blankets, and learning some knitting stitches. I'm not learning to knit don't worry! It's just that as a crocheter, we can do more kinds of stitches and I'm learning to crochet knitting stitches. You won't be able to tell I've crocheted them either! How fun is that! The hook is double ended though and that was a bit strange to get used to. So far, I've mastered the cable stitch. I'll have to post pictures as I go of what I'm doing. My etsy site is up and fully loaded with some goods I'm hoping to sell, and I've put up a fancy coat on ebay I'm also trying to sell. No such luck yet, but you never know. I am hoping things will work out for the better this time. =)
I'm trying to decide what to do about my dad calling me annoying. He claims that my texts annoy him, but I barely text him, if that! It's usually one or two a month. It's frustrating, hearing that you annoy someone over something that is so minute. There are other things pushing me away from him, but that was the last straw for now. I'm taking a break, and getting some breathing room. I can't go over to see him, knowing that he cares more about my step brothers and step sister than he does me. I'm not jealous or anything like that, don't get me wrong. But when they are rude and obnoxious to me, telling me I'm not allowed at the dinner table with the rest of them, or them trying to talk badly to other people about me behind my back, and he doesn't even stand up for me? Not once! 13 years it's been and he's never defended me. At first, I thought it was because he was trying to keep the peace, but now I'm not sure at all any more. He was in a car accident and no one told me. I had to find out from facebook?! Extended family came into town and I was the only one not called. I'm heartbroken. I feel like a complete stranger in his house. None of my paintings or drawings that I've made throughout the years are anywhere to be seen. It's like I just don't matter. I decided I've cried enough over that. I know I'm lucky that I know who my dad is, he lives close and he's still alive, but I'm dealing with so much from him that I can't handle it any more.
If change is so great, why are people so scared, so stubborn, so defiant to accept it?
