Sunday Funday...or Fight day?

So tonight was pretty crazy, but before I get into that, a recap of the week is necessary...

Wednesday was pretty ordinary - work job #1, work job #2, laundry and then I worked on the story I've been writing. The rough draft is complete so all I need to do is write the final copy :)

Thursday was a long day. I worked a long shift, but I felt like I got nothing done because I kept having to move around and work all over the place. I work at a health club and can work a lot of different positions (since I've been there 11 years...) and I ended up having to cover a shift for an hour and a half and then another shift for an hour so that didn't leave much time for me to get my work done :( After work I did a pilates class and then attempted to run, but failed because pilates was intense and I couldn't push myself to finish the run...

Friday I worked both jobs and then got to go home to my new Stampin Up! shipment! That excited me because I've been waiting for it to arrive and it's like Christmas every time I order something :) Since my new stuff arrived I had to put it away and I realized I hadn't put anything away after getting back from Origins, so I ended up cleaning and putting stuff away and organizing in my craft area. It was much needed and I wish I hadn't waited so long to do it. After organizing I decided that I want to rearrange my whole entire room sometime soon. My craft area is in my bedroom because, sadly, I still live at home with my parents, so there's not a lot of room for crafting and I have to be creative with how things are set up. I think the new set up will be awesome and will allow me to be more crafty.

Saturday was another long day. It seems like all my days are lately... I worked from 7:30 to 4, went shopping to kill time and then attended a Stamp a Stack night at my SU! demonstrator's house. For those not familiar with Stamp a Stack - it's basically a workshop where you make cards (you Stamp a Stack of cards - get it? haha). It's a really fun time and I always come home with great projects and ideas :) Sheila's awesome and always has great samples for us to work from as well as yummy treats for our bellies! Last night, the highlight was the red velvet cupcakes with homemade cream cheese icing that she made for us and the really cute picture frame craft that we did.

And then we arrive at Sunday... I had to go to work because I am in charge of printing off the sign in sheets for our Summer Camp. Instead of having to get up and go to work by 6 am Mondays, I choose to go in on Sunday nights and print them off. This also gives me a chance to keep an eye on my basketball league and watch some of the games. First bad thing that happened tonight - during the first basketball game, one of the guys got kicked out for arguing with the refs. I didn't see the whole altercation because I was eating my dinner, but I saw most of it and his being thrown out was warranted. The second bad thing to happen started on the soccer field - a guy (on the blue team) started a fight between his team and the other team (pink) and then he attempted to leave by exiting the field. Normally, the rest of the players would stay on the field and continue playing. Not tonight. Tonight the other team decided to follow him off the field and the only word I can describe what happened next is BRAWL. The pink team outnumbered the blue and was beating up one guy 3 to 1 while the other blue player who was trying to leave threw a chair at a pink guy and then ran off to the parking lot. The pink guy had to be restrained by his teammate. Where was I during all of this? Oh, you know, I had a front row seat where the chair was being thrown and the guy was being restrained. My friend, who was working, had to yell to break it up and they eventually stopped and dispersed back to the field.  In the aftermath, the blue guy who was being beaten up came over to buy a Gatorade and he had 2 cleat marks on his face - one on his forehead and one just below his eye. He left and the rest of the guys tried to start playing again, but since the ref had called the game, we made them stop playing. Pink team was not happy about this at all and decided to stick around complaining about it for about an hour, arguing that they could charge them with assault and it's not their fault that the blue team started it and blah blah blah... They eventually left and we were left with queasy tummies from all the excitement/craziness/adrenaline rush... I decided that I should probably go home because I couldn't stand to sit there and talk about it any longer, but as I was leaving, I saw cops and an ambulance in our front parking lot. Guess who was standing around talking to cops... If you guessed the pink and blue guys, you were right! I was on the phone with my dad and had to hang up with him so I could call my friend and let him know to get out front asap to see what was going on...

So now I probably have to deal with that tomorrow because we have to report it to our manager and since I'm a witness, he will most likely be talking to me about it. As if I didn't have enough to deal with already :/

So that was my week... Anything exciting happen to any of you?!?

I have been trying to think of a tutorial to do and I thought of one today, but I won't be able to post it until Tuesday. It is something that I saw on Pinterest called a Food Passport. Basically you pick restaurants in your area that you have never been to and make a journal of sorts recording where you went and if you liked it or not. My friends from work thought it would be a neat thing to do since we are always going out for dinner, but we always go to the same place. We thought this would be a great way to switch it up and try something new and also have fun doing it. So look for that on Tuesday night :)

First Challenge

Well that took forever :/ I'm kinda mad at myself for putting it off as long as I did, but it's finally finished. So the challenge was to use my Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge and birthday theme paper to create a fairy tale inspired birthday invitation. I originally had an idea in my mind and had it all planned out, but, as per usual, when I started the project everything changed. Anyway, I ended up making a cute little invitation with just the word 'party' on it but the 't' in 'party' had a crown above it. I used pink paper to make a shadow of the word to put behind it and teal paper with lighter colored stars on it for the actual word. I used my Gypsy along with my Cricut to cut the words out which allowed me to copy the word 'party' and maneuver it so just cut the crown was cut out because I didn't want the word and the crown to be all one color. And what fun is a princess crown if it's not gold?!? Once I had them all placed where I wan...

Easter weekend...

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great weekend :) I sure did! My boyfriend was in town and we got to do a lot together. Yesterday we went to the movies and then dinner with his parents and then we went to a park to walk around for a little bit before going to the Easter Vigil at my church. I'm so glad he got to experience that with me because it's my most favorite mass of the whole entire year. Then today we went to the Reds game with his friend Tanner and my friend Sammie. Shout out to Momma Tree for the tickets - thank you sooooo much! It was a beautiful day and a great game with awesome peeps :) The only bad parts were the sunburn and the fact that my Ky had to go back to school :( but I shall see him soon enough! I'm heading to Athens on Thursday to spend a few days with him and see where he gets edumacated. On another note, I haven't gotten my challenge yet, so in the meantime I shall talk about a recent project. Most recent would have to be the mustache keych...

Takeout Tuesday

Hey there! So it's been a weird few days for me... Sunday was mainly awesome - I was at work from 12:45 pm to 11:45 pm, mostly working, but also working out... During my work period I got to ogle a lot of hot guys since it was the first night of basketball and we had a lot of new teams (I work at a health club and run the men's basketball league). During my workout I ran a mile! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but when you weigh almost 250 pounds and are trying to get back into shape, this is a big deal... I also started on one of my stories during one of the slower basketball games. I'm glad I can multitask or I would get soooo bored trying to keep score at these games. Monday was unusual - I didn't go into work until 4:30 because I was up until about 1am since I had to work Sunday night. I did next to nothing during the day (watched TV and read some fanfics, nothing productive...) yet somehow when I got to work I was super cranky and it made my shift go b...
