Finally... we have me in the specs...

I feel like I need to...

do more crafting...

As I sat online while hanging out with RubyRed last night, while we half paid attention to a movie, she was creating a collage. And as I see the final masterpiece this morning on her blog, it made me think about how crafting used to make me feel a sense of peace... of calm... it allowed me to think outside of myself for a while... just long enough to get my focus back on track.

I know, I do turn to God for all of that... but sometimes it helps to not think about my own life and all of it's ridiculousness...

Why??

I am not a big jewelry person.

I don't wear much at all.

At most, you'll see me in earings or a necklace... just one piece of jewelry...

Then why is it, may I ask, that I really do want to get a present one day

That comes in a blue box, just like this:





Why???

The Specs

I know It's not me wearing the specs, but that will have to come later... I have a cold sore... no pictures please!! haha =0)

At Last...

Nope, my love is not here to stay... but I don't mind waiting when I have such amazing friends! Like friends that take random trips to Chicago!!

Here are some pics, as previously promised...

Me in front on "The Bean"

The Funniest T-Shirt in a shop window

On our way to the Symphony Center

(I like the way it's almost grainy and old fashioned)

The BEST Store ever!!!

(At least it was)

The store formerly known as Marshall Fields

Our WTF moment

My cousin from Georgia (Jessica) happened to be in town, too!

And... We got to hang with my friend Greg!! =0)

(I'm sure he'll love that I put up this pic!)

Paying off credit cards...

I did it. Today. Just about 20 minutes ago, as a matter of fact... I paid off my Lane Bryant Card. Completely. Now I have to call and close it; and of course then will then charge me interest from the time the bill was sent to the time I paid it off, so I'll have to pay a little bit of that.

Credit card companies are annoying.

But as soon as this card is closed, I will only have 1 credit card left, and the only balance on that is for my new awesome glasses. It's the card I've had since I was 18 and I no longer carry a balance on it.

Hurray for no credit card debt!!!
