hello, hello~ I´m still here.
Hi folks.
Guess it´s time to update my journal here. *lol* I don´t manage to update it regulary... but who the hell cares? I do not. :´D
I`m still reading my friendslist, though. So don´t worry. I´m online here as often as I used to. Just not updating regulary.
I´m lying down with some stomach flu since thursday last week and I´m still not feeling 100% well. Going to spend two more days off of work I guess. Going to see the doctor tomorrow morning. Hun. And there´s still so much to do at work... this sucks. ;_; But I won´t go to work until I feel truly well again. Nobody thanks you anyway if you come back early because of all the work that´s left behind.
Anyway.. let´s put that aside and let´s get to some nicer things.
I made myself the promise not to tell anyone until I reached the 40 pounds (yes, I kinda failed on this one.. but at least I held my promise quite long =D) But now it´s finally time ^___^ I lost a little over 43 pounds in the last 9 month. And it wasn´t as hard as I expected it to be. And no I´m SO NOT the sporty type. I hate sports to be honest... (except of swimming). All diets are f*cking bullshit, so I tried Weight Watchers for the first time and see ? It worked. :) I´m so proud of myself and I will loose more for sure! <3 There´s a little goal I have inside my head and I will reach it, no matter what. Guess that´s the thing I´m the most proud of this year. Because it bugged me a lot the last year. Guess I had to become 22 years old AND with a lovely mother who supports me in every way. <3 But the most important thing is that it worked out and that I did it for myself and my own health and not because people told me to. <3
At work things are heating up... but to be honest... it´s kind of tiring atm. Always the same... so let´s skip this topic. Guess some people will never change.
Then there´s christmas right in front of us. I loooooooove christmas and still have to buy the last things to get everything ready. <3
Do you love christmas as much as I do ? ^___^ I love to make/buy gifts, wrap them up in beautiful paper and the most important thing... the smiles I see on peoples faces when they get their presents. (I´m more comfortable with giving presents than reveiving them, lol. xD strange I know!)
I hope everyone´s gonna be happy with what they get, <3
I for myself got an early "christmas present" from my lovely captjackspeanut , She made a BEAUTIFUL necklace for me with my favorite colors (turqoise & purple) and a little bottle full of sand from Florida and a tiny seashell. <3 And it also had a cute turtle charm and a mermaid clasp (because I love mermaids <3) and Omg... it´s the most personal present I ever got and I love to wear it!!! *_____*v
When I wore it at work the kids were amazed by it.
Kid: "Did you made this yourself?"
Me: "No, a good friend of mind did it for me."
Kid: "Oh, it´s beautiful! What´s inside the bottle?"
Me: "Sand from Florida. It´s in the United States."
Kid: --> looks something like THAT: O_________Ov (X´D)
SO CUTE. They even discovered the tiny seashell ^.~ See, not only I love the necklace, Ash! <3 And the bracelet is also pretty ! <3 (They loved it as much as the necklace... :D)
Anyway... thank you so much! I always think of you when I wear the jewerly or look at my little christmas tree, with your selfmade ornament on it! I also have a photo.. wait... here it is <3
I love you, sweetheart. Thank you again SO SO SO much. <3 This really makes me smile so much !
Hmm... there´s not that much more to tell I guess.
Still searching for some magical inspiration for some new jewerly.. maybe between christmas and new years eve, we´ll see. :)
I have lot´s of new supplies for vintage jewelry... but I still need to buy some pocket watches. <3
I really hope our little project works out next year... girls, we have to take some action soon, I guess?!
That would be SO awesome. <3
But I really have to say... some people have really extraordinary prices for their selfmade jewelry.. which isn´t justified at all. This makes me angry, because I, for myself, make FAIR prices... because nobody can pay for the amount of time or creativity I put into all my jewelry pieces. I make it with love and not because I wanna make as much money with it as I can.
Grr... but enough of that.
Ohhh.. and I really hope I can get my nails done before christmas. xD I wanna have nails as awesome as my mum has. <3
But depends on whether the woman has still an appointment free for me or not ;O; ...
