Failed

Ok. So I just took my final for my Management of Survey Systems class and I got a 78 percent. I only had a few more questions to answer before my time ran out too and I'm sure I would have gotten at least 80 percent on it. UGH!! And it was worth 25% of my grade and right now I'm sitting at 59% close to 60%. My teacher still has one more thing to grade, but it's only worth 5% of my grade so I'll barely be getting something over 60%. And that.. is a certified D in my class!!

But that's what I get for not doing two weeks worth of class and failing my mid-term... and basically PROCRASTINATING!!! I've seriously procrastinated on my English research paper too, but that's all I have left to do for that class and I'm done. However, my grade in that class requires me to get a super good grade on my research paper. SON OF A GUN! This really sucks and I hope that I do better next quarter. I've got another english class and a java script class. FML. What did I get myself into. This computer stuff isn't easy.. well.. not exactly. Let me reword that...

I just really need to get myself back into gear and start focusing on my schoolwork more than video games.

New resolution added to my list of resolutions for this year: Do better in school. That is all for tonight. Going to work on Nani's dress and then go to sleep.

Pork Chops

Whoops! I totally forgot to update this earlier. :P But anyhoo..

I don't really cook pork chops and whenever I do I normally fail horribly at making them. They always come out tasteless and dry. But I decided that I wanted to make pork chops for dinner tonight since I bought a bunch of new spices yesterday to try it out in hopes of a tasty dinner. I mean, my best friend has this recipe that is sooo good and I really need to learn it so I can make it myself...

But since I don't have his recipe I sort of threw a bunch of stuff together and in all honesty it didn't come out too bad. I just used new orleans cajun spice, a little bit of lemon, salt and pepper, and veryyy little raspberry vinegarette (however you spell that). I should have seasoned it over night like I told myself to do but didn't. However, it didn't turn out so bad.. So in the future when I try to cook pork chops again I am going to either find out my bestie's recipe or I'm going to make a new one! I think also need to do a little research on recipe shopping for pork chops too. For some reason I don't feel comfortable cooking it, but since it didn't turn out too shabby this time I'm excited to try again.

Also, I really need to figure out how to start couponing. I went to some online coupon websites.. but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get them printed! I really need to stop procrastinating and get down to business. One day.. and hopefully soon. Lol.

And in all honesty, I have seriously been exhausted lately! I don't know why and I don't know where all my exhaustion is coming from because I do get decent amount of rest.. at least I think I do. Maybe 6 hours of sleep isn't enough anymore? Who knows. Well, back to working on Nani's dress. I've been lagging on that.. on my final homework.. on the Easter pictures.. yeah. I seriously think I am the queen of all procrastinators. Maybe one day I'll kick that bad habit....

Spring Cleaning

So, I'm pretty proud of myself. Hubby and I got some cleaning done around the house. We are ALMOST done moving in completely! And the sad part about it all is by the time we're done we might end up moving out again. Who really knows though. He wants me to move out when he gets deployed, but I pretty much just want to stay where we are at. I'm so tired of moving back and forth and I'm content with where we are now. I love our house and I like where we are. Even if it gets extremely lonely for me... but I have learned to deal with it.

I also got grocery shopping done today. Pretty much spent $100 easily on groceries, but I'm hoping that they'll last us for a while. At least a week or two.

Other than that.. I didn't really do much today. Just grocery shop and try to clean up. We got baby's room nice and clean, but I sorta cheated and threw some stuff on her closet floor and closed the doors. Lol. But I will go through everything eventually and organize. I am sooo horrible at organizing.

Oh, and whoever is watching The Secret Life of an American Teenager... what the heck is going on with this show?! I am dying with these cliff hangers at the end. Whyyyy must they do this to me and make me wait a whole week to see the next episode! I wish I just waited until this season was over and watched it on netflix so I could just watch episode after episode instead of having to wait. Lol.

Anyhoo, it's about half an hour to midnight and I've been lagging on working on Nani's dress so I'm gunna put in some work before I catch some ZzzZzzzzs. Which also reminds me, I have to get working on those Easter pics I got!

Easter Sunday

GAHH! I forgot to post for Easter, but I was a busy busy bee again! Buttt, on a good note, I do have very cute pictures to post up of Nani looking for Easter eggs.. so look forward to those. :)

K. Time for homework and I will post those pics as soon as I can.

Rome

Well, to be fair so I wont miss a post, I'm updating from my phone as were on the way to the club. It's michelle's bday and were going to celebrate it at club rome. I've never been there but iI'm hoping it's dope. I'm pretty dolled up tonight but I don't really like how i did make-up tonight but its chill. Not my night anyway.

On another note, I'm super sad because I had to take my knitting apart and start over because I messed up somewhere and it was going to take me forever to backtrack so I figured it'd be easier to just start over. I was definitely frustrated though! Ok. I'll have to end this here kuz I'm getting carsick. Lol.

Kinect Party

Ok. So I know this post is going to be dated the 23rd of April, but common.. it's like 5 minutes after midnight.. so I'm going to consider it the 22nd still. I mean, I haven't gone to sleep yet and woke up in the morning for it to actually be the 23rd.. so yeah. Cut me some slack! I was pretty busy today anyway from the second I woke up until now.

But anyhoo, last night I came across this website for Ana White and she has a bunch of plans where you can build your own furniture and I fell in love with a bunch of projects. I don't really have any of the tools to do anything, but I found a very simple thing that I could do and would cost little money and pretty much didn't require any heavy duty stuff. You can find the plan here.

Soooo, today I went to Home Depot with Chris and Michelle and went shopping for our supplies. Instead of doing two 8 foot boards we are doing one 5 ft board and 12 paper clips instead of 24. So far all we have done is sanding the edges down, but we couldn't really finish because we had to head to Chili's for a birthday dinner for one of my husband's co-workers. So we head to Chili's, ha d a huge dinner.. and then everyone came back to our place to play some xbox kinect. Let me just say, we had a lot of laughs and my arms feel like rubber because I had a boxing match with my husband and we went all three rounds. I'm totally going to feel the aftermath of it tomorrow.

But anyhoo, I hope to get my project done and put up tomorrow so I can take pictures of my lovely result and post it for you to see! And with that, good night!

(Well, I probably won't be sleeping soon because I need to really get working on Nani's dress and I haven't finished the top part of it yet. Yeah yeah.. I've been lagging. Aaand, I still have a research paper that I NEED to get working on because it's due next week and I need a good grade in that class.)

Knitting in my sleep

I thought I'd do a quick post before my daughter wakes up for lunch time.

Anyway, you know how sometimes you are really exhausted, but you are trying to get something done, and no matter what you do you can't stop yourself from falling in and out of sleep? Well, I have kind of a funny story, or at least I think it's pretty funny.

Since I haven't been doing much of my crafting lately, a few days ago I de

cided to break out my yarn stash that has a bunch of yarns thought I have bought and have been stored for years! I picked a few bundles of yarn and then searched through my saves files of knit/crochet patterns for a project and came across the Little Sister's Dress Pattern. I decided to make Nani (my daughter's nickname) a dress for summer! Anyhoo, I wanted to get a bit of it done before bedtime, and I hate stopping in the middle of something because I KNOW I'll forget where I was, what row I'm working on and yadda yadda, so I tried to finish my section before going to sleep! Well, as I was getting to my last few rows, I started to nod off and somehow, someway I was able to finish what I was doing. When I put my work down, I sort of laughed to myself because I noticed that I was knitting with my eyes closed and practically sort of sleeping while doing it. Who does that? Who knits in their sleep? I guess I do.

Well, here are a couple of pictures of my progress. I was thinking of doing a white top with a blue bottom? Thoughts?

Oh, and I wanted to post pics of this beanie that I made. I used the Phannie pattern from ravelry.

Ok. I can definitely here Nani starting to wake up, so time to go! I'll probably end up posting again tonight. Who knows?
