I'm not the domestic type...

After browsing etsy today, I was stunned (as usual) by the vast array of fabulous creations. And you know what insane thought came into my mind? I want to learn to sew.

If you know me at all, you know this is absolute crazy talk. I could hardly boil water a few years ago. I burn microwave popcorn right through the bag. I had to call my mommy to iron a pair of dress pants recently. I am not a domestic woman.

...But perhaps I will give it a whirl anyway!


Okay. Now back to business. I told my parents about my master plan of getting my fashion specialist certificate and then going back to finish my advertising degree. They didn't like that idea at all. For some reason they just don't get the fact that I need a break, and the fashion certificate could provide that. The Boyfriend somewhat agrees, saying that I'm already signed up for fall classes. Maybe I should consider the certificate for spring. Arg.

That boils down to the fact that I need to make some decisions really quickly if I'm still thinking of getting the certificate this fall. Hmm.

Oh, and one more thing: tonight the Boyfriend and I watched "The Soloist"... warning, this isn't the feel-good movie you think it is. Be prepared for some very real, hard stuff. Regardless, it's a very good movie. It'll make you appreciate things in a new light.

Tomorrow's Plans: Job interview, further investigation of this certificate thing, movie with the Boyfriend (we're thinking "Funny People")
First Sewing Project: a fun and flirty skirt - I've been really into those lately!
Current Craving: Twizzlers and Cherry Coke... gotta love the junk food!
