Ok, a couple of you asked, so I'm going to do a general update. I started school again last semester and between that, kids, and work I've been very busy. To complicate matters more, I didn't have a computer at home and had to use the internet at the library, so there really wasn't time to visit. I did stop by a few times to make sure you all were still hanging around, but not much more.
I've been working for the school district and with school being out soon, I am looking for a summer job. I've put in a few applications and have a few more sitting on my desk waiting for my attention. I am also working on my finincial aid for the coming year and applying for every scholarship I can find. I have changed my major from Professional Writting with a minor in Journalism to Fashion and Textile Design. A couple very good friends of mine were very persistant in insiting that I at least look into design school and once I did I was hooked. Sometimes others know us better than we do ourselves!
Other than that, life is pretty uneventful. I am gardening on the porch that goes around two sides of my apartment and it looks good. My girls call it "Fairy Acre Farm." We've got 3 tomato plants, a pepper plant, herbs, 4 planters of lettice, several herbs, and good bit decorative plants. I want a few more tomatoes, peppers, and a rosemary plant...I'll probably pick them up at the garden store when I go out for groceries this afternoon. I've only been here for 6 months and the people at the garden store already know me and my preferences!
Ok, so this has been a more than a quick update. I'm just so excited to be back!
