Feelin' Good :)

Yay! I have lost 2 and a half pounds this week:) Now, I can swear by it, if anyone wants to lose weight, STOP EATING THE SUGAR!! I don't mean sweets, I mean cereal, juice, fruit snacks, even lemonade! Try and keep your sugar down to 20 grams a day. The average person in the early 19th century consumed 16 grams a day. The average american in the early 20th century til now consumes around 360 grams a day! WHOA! Try to find low sugar foods, I swear you will feel better!:) I don't even want that ice-cream in my freezer or those yummy brownies on my counter, I am perfectly content:)...for now, and if I keep losing, it's definitly worth missing out on a few brownies:)
Just my happy thought for the day:)

Self-Portraits are NOT easy.

I have decided I really have no idea what I look like. When trying to do a self-portrait featuring me as Alice following the rabbit, I realized trying to paint yourself is much more challenging than expected. At first, I thought I was maybe doing alright until Jon came in the room and said, "Is that girl supposed to be asain? with your hair?"... failure. Oh well, still working on it, anyway here is a picture of my progress:)(click for a better view)

..Of course, I felt the need to make my hair longer, who ever heard of a Alice with short hair?...Or red actually. Oh well:)

Blog "Face-Lift"

WELL... since I can't think of anything to say that will interest anyone, I decided to change my blog a bit, now at least if I have nothing new to say, you have something new to look at:)

My creative energy seems to be bottled up with no outlet and I feel like I'm going to implode. Because I haven't given myself a way to let that creativeness out, its become a dark, gaping whole sucking from the inside out and pretty soon i will be sucked right out of existance. Hmm.. maybe that didnt make sence. ah whatever. :) I miss everyone. Someone tell me something exciting :)

P.M. Update

Well... the future is looking a little brighter. I am now re-enrolled at Paul Mitchell, this time for the fall classes starting November 1rst. Hopefully, (and I am really counting on it) I will be able to transfer to Trader Joe's Modesto. If not, I am hoping there will be more open-minded feelings towards getting another job.
In the meantime, I am trying to be positive about my work enviorment, trying to actually enjoy it. ...Just an update.

What a Month!

April, it was so great! Unfortunately, as it ends the problems are rising all over again. Angie and the fam are getting ready to head back overseas annnnd most of you know by now my plans are to move the the valley coming up next month, but work has just decided to throw me a curve ball and say, "Hmmm.. don't think we can really use you and your hubby after all." ... WHATTT???!! Everything was just going too well. For those of you prayer warriors out there, I could use a little extra help. I really want this move to go smooth and be able to have jobs at the end of the day. If I don't have a job, my dreams might have to, once again, be put on hold. anyway... that's my depressing news for the day...

the pierce process
