I Wanna Be A Joel When I Grow Up

Yesterday wasn't all that epic, but it was still good. I drove over to Jensen with my mom and our first stop was Barnes & Noble, where they had crazy amounts of cupcake, baking, sewing, and origami kits and books that I wanted. Amazing. But we ended up getting a dang cool book about how to make neat things with cookie dough and this sock-creature making kit. The latter is my favourite; Zach and I started on one today and I'm stitching part of it now as I wait for Joel to get on instant messenger.

Then she and I went to the mall to return my birthday/Christmas gifts from my cousin at Hottopic. Yay for amazing Slayer and Iron Maiden (it has vikings on it!!!!) shirts aaaaand the Early from the Squidbillies toy by KidRobot x Adult Swim. KidRobot is the best. EVER. Wetzel's Pretzels and the gumball machines at that mall are my new favourites.

And here's the anklet I finished for mom.

Today I stayed home from school for feminine reasons. It was pretty great. As I was writing a paper for my a.p. history class, God told me what he wants me to do with my life. It's kind of weird that he just put it in my head the way he did, but it was perfect timing. Youth minister. Although I don't know of any female youth ministers that exist, or if it's even possible, but I'll make it happen. Just call me Francois.

(self portrait Tuesday!) Anyway, being a youth minister would allow me to be as creative as I want, and still use psychology, which my mother is still making me go for. I guess she won't be happy unless I'm making more money than her. Oh well, this idea is better than any of the ones that I've had. I'm so excited and I know I could put all of my talents and new found loves of certain hobbies to good use. It's funny to think, though, I used to hate kids and talking. I'm glad I'm getting over that so quickly.
But that was the highlight of my day. I spent the rest of it taking Zach to the doctor and watching him be baffled by his sewing machine. I love hand-stitching though. He and I have tons of ideas for our Etsy and I can't wait to get it started. We'll probably have everything set up within the next couple weeks, or at least I'm hoping.
Anyway, back to sewing!
