For those of you who watch HGTV

There is a show on there called Income Property, and up until now it hasn't been shot in the US. I received an email this morning from one of my military groups (I can't remember which one) and they are looking for military families who own houses in San Antonio!! Erie, Pennsylvania; Virgina or Maryland. I was mainly excited about them actually being in Texas granted that isn't where we are, not that we own a house, but I thought it was pretty awesome. Granted there aren't any Marine Corps bases either other than Corpus (I think).

But anyways, I have started my transfer process for going to the Dallas campus. I must say that I am super excited to get over there and I'm praying that most if not all will transfer. I also found out that the Dallas campus is accredited by the same association that UNT is accredited by. For those of you who don't know one of my first choices was is that I wanted to go to UNT, and then go to the art institute.

I don't think I have posted anything about my other blog on here yet. http://meghenderson.blogspot.com is the link.

Early morning today

When Chris got up for work this morning around 4:50 I couldn't sleep. I debated on trying to sleep but then decided I was going to turn on the Tv and slowly start my day.
Busa, my wonderful dachshund puppy is still down in the dumps. He misses playing with Jixer and Walle back home in Texas. Today he seems to be in better spirits so I hope he is feeling better.
I'm going to make another blog, and I'm debating on whether I will be keeping this one or not. My new one is going to be about being a graphic design student, so I wont just be talking about random stuff. I just have to figure out what I'm going to name it cuz I really like my Teacups and Trinkets. My new blog I will be posting what I am working on, so then I can get some feedback which I think will be helpful for me. Also, that way y'all can see what I'm doing. Granted that this quarter I am taking transitional English, psychology, grid systems and digital illustration, so it's not like I'm doing a lot of art this quarter but that also gives me some time (hopefully) to focus on my bookbinding stuff that I learned last quarter so I'll post that too on the new one. Yesterday the wall heater went out so when I woke up it was about 55 degrees in our apartment. Yeah, I wasn't too happy about it. I definitely don't like being cold and neither does my skin. Which by the way is slowly healing. The spot on my left hand is taking a little bit longer than the rest of my body, but it will go away eventually.

Happy New Year!

Granted I didn't get on here first thing new years since we were driving back home. But its still the first week. :) We had a very good visit at home in Texas. Got to see my family and some of my friends. Wish we had a little more time, its like we didn't have enough time to do everything. Esp. my mom and I, there was so much we wanted to create together but just ran out of time. I've been a very creative mood lately and just wanted to make things but I forgot my PVA glue back in Texas and what I have left will barely make a box or a journal so Ill just have to wait for it.
I've been reading up on a lot other blogs esp a blog called How About Orange. I just have to say I love her blog, she's a Graphic Designer. :) I've found out that a lot of Graphic Designers have blogs.
I got a cookbook for Christmas from my good friend Elaine :) and I am super excited to start cooking from it. I've been wanting a cookbook to cook through.
Class starts back up on Monday, I'm so excited to start digital illustration because I know nothing about illustrator and I really really want to learn how to use it.
I just have to say that Christmas was super great! :)
I miss Texas but I don't miss the allergies that I get while I'm there. My eczema flared up right at the tail end of our visit and got worse on the drive home. We drove through -11 degree weather in New Mexico so my skin definitely had something to say about that and it was pretty much in the 20's most of the drive after we got out of Texas.
