Frustration overload

My project did not go as well as planned today.  I was having a hell of a time covering the "wings" of my chair.  I also bought the cheapest and crappiest sewing machine which I will have to return because it is worthless.  Hopefully once I borrow a real sewing machine from a friend all will go as planned.  I will post pictures of the whole ordeal once I have some good news to share.  

Home Improvement Mania

It has been quite a while since I've posted anything.  Last week was pretty busy.  I spent the last week of our Clinical Pharmacology class making a massive easy to reference outline for our open-notes final.  It was a really hard test even though we could use any resource we wanted.  It took my 3 full hours to finish and I was one of the 1st to leave.  Several of my friends took 5 hrs to finish the test.  Monday I start CPC prep and ICU/Emergency.

This has been a really exhausting but fun weekend so far.  Friday Barrett and I went out to dinner at the deli and then bought Guitar Hero World Tour for ourselves.  We then played it all evening until his parents arrived around 11:00 pm.  Today Barrett and his dad started building a shed in our backyard.  Shortly after lunch Barrett got one of his really bad headaches so his mom and I took his spot and worked on the shed with his dad.  We didn't get as much done as we had hoped to but we have the foundation done and 2 walls up.

Before we started helping with the shed Lynda and I went to a fabric store downtown so I could look at upholstery and buy some really cheap fabric.  I am attempting to re-upholster our living room chairs and I wanted to get some cheap, crappy fabric to practice with before I bought the expensive stuff.  The store also let me bring home some swatches to hold up to my chairs and see what I like.  I found some great stuff but I can't decide what looks best and I can't decide if I want to do both chairs the same or not.  On Tuesday I'm going to go to a fabric store in Columbus to see if they have anything different.  So far I have the back of the chair completely de-upholstered.  I'm going to take the upholstery off the rest of the chair tonight and recover it tomorrow.  I will post pictures of my finished product then.  Hopefully this will work because it will save us approximately $350.  That was the estimate I got for a professional to do it, plus the cost of the fabric.  

Check back tomorrow to see what the chair looks like.  If this works maybe my blog will have to become a DIY blog :)

Diets suck

Some people might look at me and think she looks pretty good (at least I wish they would), but to tell you the truth, I am not feeling so good.  I am very frustrated with myself.  I weigh more right now than I have in a long time and I am very very unhappy about it.  If any of you have tried to lose weight you know how difficult it can be.  I have been working out just about every day for several weeks and haven't lost a single pound!  I HATE IT!!!!!  Anyway, just thought I needed to scream about my non-weight loss for a bit.  I will keep you updated and hopefully my weight will decrease.  

Planning Pro

I have my first client (thank you Ashley) in my new field of wedding planning :)  I think this will be an awesome side business for me.  Although I am just doing this for friends because I love it I think it would be fun to make this into a money-maker someday.  We'll see...For now I am having fun looking at wedding stuff again since my own was long ago

If any of you need a wedding planner you know who to call!
