Though for the last while, I really don't have too good of an excuse. Well, kinda. I don't really get on the internet until later in the evening, and then I'm usually just checking things before bed. Aside from that, I have rather ample time, so......yeah.
Not a whole lot to write about, anyway. What I usually say these days is "I feel like such a bum!" I've tried finding work here in town, but nothing's really happening. I filled out all the paperwork necessary to get an Emergency Substitute Certificate so that I could be a substitute teacher for the lower grades at the school, but apparently the fingerprint card I have isn't the same as the one they want, so I have to get the Identity Verification one.....'cause my current government issue card w/ prints clearly doesn't verify my identity. Right... ¬_¬
So now in order to get these other prints done, I'll have to pay another $69 in addition to the original $60 I had to pay for the certificate. I'm basically at the point of waffling over whether or not it's worth all the hassle. Blah.
Meantime, I've pretty much just been doing things around the house. Running errands, cleaning/organizing my room...We've pretty much thrown it out to the ward that I'm available for odd jobs and in dire need, so I've done a couple things; cleaned for Sister Stearns and currently babysitting for the Quists when they're both working, so that's fun.
I admit I find myself getting wishywashy periodically, I blame lack of peers. Pretty much all of my friends who were here don't live here anymore, so I don't really see anyone. I don't get out much. That, and, with all the fairly free time I have, I have all this time to think about my friends, etc. And then I go and say stuff like this and I sound all pitiful and "woe is me." Don't get me wrong, I like being home and being with my family, but I'm definitely missing school and my friends.
Well, done with that. I have noble intentions of a couple of projects, so here's hoping on those! I want to shorten a jean skirt I have and I've been collecting neckties in the hopes of making a tie skirt- I'm very close with this. For a while I was also entertaining the thought of offering beginning ballroom lessons here in town, but due to particulars like where to do it and not really getting a whole lot of feedback as far as if people would actually go for it or not, that's pretty much fallen by the wayside. Hmm, what else? Um.......I've got my China stuff all in one shoebox now. The ultimate goal there is to scrapbook, but considering that my life scrapbook is still stuck in 7th grade.........well, we'll see. Oh, yes, and I have lots of cross stitching and at least one needlepoint to finish. So if I actually get down to it, I guess I really could be keeping myself busy.
Guess I'd better hush up, then.
Oh, and after having the same pair since 6th grade, I have finally gotten a new pair of glasses! I enjoy being able to see again.
