More like Sunday Blahday

That pretty much perfectly describes my Sunday so far.

Our awesome Missouri weather is playing games with my head and sinuses (seriously, it was 65 on Wednesday, and last night it SNOWED, and tomorrow it's supposed to be 65 again), and it's got me feeling pretty run down today.

Which is totally lame because....


I got this beauty in the mail today!
The Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 <3
I'm in love already...I've managed to get her up and running, threaded, and some practice stuff sewn. After my Curvy, she is so quiet! And is it weird that I'm giving my machine a gender pronoun...? And yes, that's a Singer serger hiding back there. I don't use my serger nearly enough...my thread tensions have been jacked up for quite some time now, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it quite right...I end up having to sew an extra seam right next to the serged edge, which kind of defeats the purpose for time saving...

Moving on though, I really wish I were feeling better today, because I would have loved to just spent the afternoon sewing up a storm. Instead I was laid up in bed about 50% of it, battling bouts of nausea and a wicked headache. At least now I can write this blog post whilst staring out my craft room windows looking at the blue sky and sunshine.

Oh, and that awesome opportunity I mentioned last week?

Well, I'll just go ahead and tell you about it, because it turned out to be not so awesome. I interviewed for a job that I was under the impression was "contract for hire". The recruiting firm thought it was too. Got in to the interview, and they kept stressing the "temporary" part of the position, because they don't "expect" the workload to continue at the level it has been long term. In other words, I'd be running the risk of not having a job in 6 months. Um. No thank you.

So, back to regular life we go...I'm okay with it for now. Part of me would really like to stick with my current employer (not necessarily my current position) until the time comes that we can afford for me to drop to part time or not work a traditional job at all. I've done a lot of bouncing (for me, anyway) in the last 5 years. From the age of 17 to 27 I worked for Claire's off and on, all on from the age of 21. Then I went to Jo-Ann's, did a year, then went to the apartment complex for 16 months, and now I've been where I'm at for nearly 2...maybe I should just sit tight.

I think I'm done for the day. My brain is pretty cloudy, and I'm physically kinda achy...I do believe I'm gonna put on a youtube video of some gentle yoga and just zen out in here for a bit.

I'll probably be doing a mostly photo post in the next couple of days, so be on the look out for that excitement! ;)

Happy Spring!

Here We Go...

So this is it! My first baby step into the world of blog and all that it entails! Truth be told, I'm scared to death, but excited at the same time. This blog is going to be mostly about my efforts, trials, and tribulations as I venture into the world of running my own business, but I will also throw in little tidbits about my life, my passions, and, of course, my musings. I will attempt to be funny and quirky and witty, as I want you, dear readers, to enjoy what I have to say and laugh along with me at life and its curveballs. Shall we begin? A little background...I'm 27 years old, married to a wonderful man named Jon who is a hydraulic mechanic for an aircraft manufacturer and for the Unites States Air Force Reserve. We have a 3 year old son who I will refer to as Dono. He's intelligent, independent, ornery, and the light of my life. We have a pomapoo named Louie who is spoiled rotten but also our little fuzzbucket, and a cat named Kovu that I have had since he was 6 wee...

Not ashamed (of being a foodie)

This is the part where I would normally say "Dang it's been so long since I made a blog post!" But HA! It's only been 5 days! (I'm very proud of myself). I *meant* for it to be sooner, but between a migraine on Wednesday evening and horrid, horrid cramps last night, I got a bit delayed. I did make a fantastic dinner last night, and tonight as well. Last night was chicken milanese with potatoes, mushrooms, and roasted asparagus. I only took a picture of the potatoes and mushrooms though.  Mmm...cast iron cooking for the win, right here! Pictures of food are something that seem to pop up a lot in my instagram, which I guess makes me a foodie. But I'm okay with that, because food is amazing and I like to eat. Part of the reason I keep taking pictures of my food like a weirdo though, is because I finally learned how to cook actual "from scratch" meals, thanks to this lady right here:  Ree Drummond might be a genius. There on the right side, you...

6...almost 7 months later and here we are!

Back in Kansas City! WOOT! It has been a wild ride winter, but we have moved back to Kansas City and are settling in nicely. I have a new job, Jon has a new job, and everything went relatively smoothly...except the one little piece that kind of broke my heart. We were going to buy a house. It was a lovely house, not my dream home but who expects that at 28? I could see our family there and I could see us being happy there. We did everything we were supposed to, I moved up to Kansas City early to start my new job and Jon was continuing on at his place of employment in Wichita. The plan was that he would move up after he got a job up here, but in the meantime we were going to buy this house and get Dono and I settled. Cue 24 hours before the closing date. And it all fell apart, because the mortgage company (from whom we had never hid the fact that he was going to be in Wichita M-F and in KC on the weekends) says that he has to give proof of rent and utilities while living in Wichit...
