I've decided to take a fresh start on my live journal. It's time to let go of some old baggage and get a fresh view.
I currently am trying to finish up my final paper for Spring term. Then I'll have the summer off to play. I only have 12 credits left of school and that is very exciting. I am getting very nervous about the job market. I hate looking for jobs but I'm excited to do something new.
I'll try to be good at updating this but I'll have to write more after I transfer some of my previous information.

What obsolete skill are you?




You are 'Latin'. Even among obsolete skills, the tongue of the ancient Romans is a real anachronism. With its profusion of different cases and conjugations, Latin is more than a language; it is a whole different way of thinking about things.You are very classy, meaning that you value the classics. You value old things, good things which have stood the test of time. You value things which have been proven worthy and valuable, even if no one else these days sees them that way. Your life is touched by a certain 'pietas', or piety; perhaps you are even a Stoic. Nonetheless, you have a certain fascination with the grotesque and the profane. Also, the modern world rejects you like a bad transplant. Your problem is that Latin has been obsolete for a long time.

Youre very sweet and caring, and you have friends who love you, who are always there to support you and hold you when your fragile heart is broken. You are most likely often found daydreaming about your life and your future, and you have a talent for dealing with kids, all of which adore you, even if youve only been around them for five minutes. Youre the one your friends turn to when they need a shoulder to cry on, and a kind word to get them smiling again. You are shy, lovable, compassionate, and seek to make the world a better place.

There will be something solid for you step upon, or you will learn how to fly."

Whats your element???




Your element is earth itself. You like to keep your feet planted in the ground with access to move. Being in a deep forest makes you feel most comfortable and you love nature. You arent as laid back as water but aren't as active as fire. You are in between and enjoy life there. Your opposite is air.

I discovered at Egils that my tent is still leaking, in spite of the waterproofing I tried to do. It was very wet, my bed was soaked but my wool helped keep me warm. I really don't want to do that again. Fortunately, I shouldn't have to. Mom and Dad gave me money to replace the canvas for my tent top with Sunforger. Oh TG! Now I have to work out some time to cut and sew, as well as order canvas. I'll order as soon as I can figure out how much I need.

I am very anxious to get some clothes sewn for myself in the late period style that I love but haven't had the time to construct for several years. I want to do some basic tourney Elizabethan, a Venetian, and something fab with the silk and metallic thread material I have. I'd also like to redo my gothic fitted dress. I've been working on hand sewing a linen tunic and have linen for several more tunics. I bought wool at Egils to make a kirtle... So many ideas, so little time. I'm just glad to be having ideas again. It's been a long time since I had anything costuming related on my mind.

I also have a huge list of more modern projects to complete. I have a blanket that I've been crocheting for J. that I promised I'd get finished this year. Of course that's not much fun to do during the summer. I have a cross stitch for my mother that I didn't quite get finished before Mother's day. I have some pillow cases that I am embroidery that were supposed to be a wedding present for J and C (two years later they still aren't done). I also had this idea about quilting some placemats for my mother; her's are rather worn looking. I have a cool pattern for some appliqued quilt blocks I'd like to try for myself as well. Of course there are always the Christmas projects I'd like to do for my family. Since my grandmother doesn't crochet the towels for everyone anymore and I'm the only one who knows how to do it, I'd like to be able to make a few for everyone. That's a big task though, my grandmother used to make about 200. I also have been crocheting dish cloths and pot scrubbers but I need to get an earlier start to do that. I was still crocheting at Christmas dinner last year. *grin*
More immediately, Father's day is this weekend and I've not done anything for dad. He won't be here so I suppose I can put it off but his birthday is in July so I should figure something out.

I have so many projects I just can't seem to stay focused on one until I get it done. I need someone to manage my project calendar. *laugh*

My weight is up a bit again so I need to work on bringing it back down. I hate dieting and I've been walking for 30 minutes to an hour every day but it doesn't seem to bring either my weight or my measurements down. It's so frustrating. But I know I've been really bad about eating sugar willy-nilly again and I should really not be doing that.

My mom on the other hand has lost quite a bit of weight. I took her shopping on Sunday and she had to go down from a size 14 skirt to a size 10 in some styles. She was so shocked-"I've never worn a 10 before!" I had great fun helping her to buy a new wardrobe. She tried some colors and styles that she wouldn't otherwise have tried. I forced her to try new things. *laugh* And she really ended up liking them. It was almost as much fun as buying a new wardrobe for myself. She was really worried about the amount of money she spent but dad assured her that he didn't mind. I think he'll really like the clothes she bought anyway.

I haven't heard from my brother or sister. Mom and Dad are on their way over to see my sister and the kids. My brother is working as an construction engineering manager in downtown San Francisco for a company that does up-scale building and renovations. He is currently working on a building designed by the architect who designed the building to replace the twin towers. He says it doesn't have any right angles. I can't imagine what that must look like. Mom says he really likes his job. It makes all the difference working for the right company. This one seems to know the meaning of team work and everyone helps with QC and jumps in if anyone needs a hand. I'm so glad to hear he is feeling good about his work. Now I'm wondering if we are going to hear about wedding plans or if we're going to hear about a break up. Maybe now that he's settled he'll feel like he has something to offer his gf. But we'll see. I'm not anxious either way but I don't know about her.

Well I supposed that should be enough for now. I need to get some work done today.
