I'm like, completely crafting whipped now. I've gone as far as applying to a craft store in Antioch as to get employee discounts and learn things from there. In the past few days I've redone two pairs of flats, finished half of a bag I'm knitting, sewn a button/ribbon bracelet and drawn out at least ten shirts I'm going to be making once I go thrifting for fabric today and shirts to cut up.
I love it how after reading up on reconstructing things, I can turn all the huge shirts that had a cool print on them to something I'll actually wear. It's really exciting. Hopefully I'll make it out of the store without three more pairs of jeans, but we'll see.
Yesterday Josh, my dad and I suprised my mom and took her to lunch at Infini-Tea. Definetly the coolest restaurant around, if not most expensive for the smallest amount of food. Regardless, it was awesome. We walked around Main Street for a while because it was sidewalk sale weekend and then went to my future employer. Haha. I really ought to turn in my application now so I can work there in August as well so they'll schedule me how I want during the school year. The only bad part is now I'm 100% sure I want to do cross country, so I'm not too sure where having a job, going to school, seeing my friends and running is going to fit into the picture, but I can handle it. After wandering around, we came home and Josh and I watched Evolution before he had to work. The rest of the day was devoted to making things like crazy. Definetly lots of fun. At nine or so Kayleigh and I met up with Josh and Jim at Kristoff's to suck at bowling, which I definetly did. We played dumb arcade games, got cool tattoos, took pictures in the photobooth, and then we went to Taco Bell.
Not much else is going on, Josh and I are having lunch at his brother's house with him mom today and I'll probably go shop while he's work. If anyone wants to come thrifting with me, let me know. This upcoming week is going to be amazing and I can't wait to go through it all in awesome new clothes.
