Money, Money, Mon-ey

So, I've big plans. I'm going to start selling some of the crafty stuff I do on the website, www.Etsy.com. I'm going to make the things up in my lazy evenings at home and then because I don't actually like or have the capacity to do the internet stuff, I'll send them to Mom and she'll sell them for me. So far I've got some rugs and other weavings, some purses, necklaces, hackey sacks, hats - etc. I laugh because I used to do this all the time with farmers markets, neighbors, friends - I just love to make this stuff- might as well make it work for me. I need to have something to keep my hands busy but don't care to have so many things lying around my house. Anyway - stay tuned and when I've got it all online I'll post the link too...

Time Flies

My goodness but time does fly. Here it is almost December and I haven't had any updates at ALL! Bad Maija! No biscuit! Oh well. So, lets see... I've moved again. The mother-in-law apartment was actually a garage and I stayed all of about 2 1/2 months. I couldn't handle the mice and the ants and the landlady who thought we still lived in Utah and needed an honor code and was just a generally crazy lady and so I moved out and into a regular apartment. The rent is about double but the peace of mind makes up for it. I've got it decorated very nicely now and it's very homey and I just love it. Just a little 700 square foot, one bedroom place, but I don't really need anything more. And it has a porch that looks out over a field with a tree in the middle and that suits me just fine. Other big changes - I traded in the Plymouth Voyager van for a Saturn that gets about 3x better gas mileage and makes me feel more like myself and not so much a soccer mom. I picked up a second job - sorry, J.- and am working part time at a Cafe. I can now make the best crepes, panini and drinks! but am getting anxious to quit. The boss is the worst bully I've ever met! Blech. I love the girls I work with but just dread having any interaction with the owners. Not a fun work environment. J-Dawg is still the love of my life and doing his best to take good care of me. He cleans my house and comes over and makes me dinner and I often find the sweetest little cards left in places and we really are having so much fun. I'm glad for him. Winter's on its way here and I'm getting anxious to either go snowboarding or go to Bermuda. I know- such different environments but don't they both sound so much fun!! Or, I'll just be content to spend some lazy days at home enjoying the wet and wild weather and snuggling with a good book and some hot chocolate. Either way really. Anyway, I guess I'm feeling the need to post a little better. I read my sisters and friends blogs and they really are so enjoyable. Once I got over my jelousy (they're such better writers and so much more entertaining!!) I decided to just post my rambling thoughts anyway. So, here you go... Love!
