Lets call it the list

Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Just wanted to tell all you skeptics I am making some progress.

Working on #2.
I am designing a REALLY cool dress. I'd show you... but.... well I don't really know how to show you right now, since it is an idea in my head. But I will show you when I have something to show. And Asia distracted me cause she found the beautiful little girl, princess dress pattern that I was saving for a special occasion, and informed me that the "Princess Academy" they are attending this saturday needs just such a dress. So I am kinda busy right now, with that. I will post a picture when it is done. Asia is doing lots of the sewing on it.

And #4. I read a whole book, so there.

The little people are taking over

My children are smarter than me. I know this is a common parental sentiment. However, that does not lessen the blow. How can I compete with their cleverness. When Taio, who was showing off her great math skills by adding 256+256, was asked how she knew so much she said, "I have a very big brain, inside a little head." And she showed me the size by stretching her hands out to her sides as far as they could reach.
Cuter than me, smarter than me, and now better bloggers than me. I give up, I can't compete, it is time I started living vicariously through them.

the end

Wednesday, August 13, 2008
I always have such big plans. I started the summer of no school almost worried I wouldn't know what to do with myself. So I had a plan and here it is:
1. Make a ton of money
2. Design some wedding dresses
3. Paint some walls
4. Read a bunch of novels.
5. And of course, as a last resort work on my independent study class.
Somehow it didn't really work out.
I don't really know what happened. I don't seem to keep a journal anymore so I have no record of what I did. I suspect I did nothing. I didn't make a ton of money. I am still working on the first dress design, I painted one wall, and started one book. I'll do the independent study later I suppose. I did make lots of granola, though I am pretty burned out on the Farmers Market.
I can't really remember much else. I went camping at least once. I went to girl's camp, sewed a couple of bride's maid dresses, watched a few movies, rode motorcycles, and ate sausage.
I guess my list will still be here next break, when ever that might happen.
Mostly it was just nice not having deadlines and homework, and not having to climb the stairs up to campus every day.
Hey I still have two weeks, it isn't over yet!!
