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.

Been sick

I've been sick for a little over a week now. Not fun, and it comes in waves, during the day I'll feel fine but at night my body aches and I feel heavy, or my stomach hurts or something random. Definetly not my favorite. Just finished up week 10 of school. This last week is going to be hectic, I have tons to get done, so I'm not going to take a lot of time on this post.
We might be getting another roommate, which I think is exciting. I like having people over and stuff. I'm trying to sell stuff we don't use around the house so then Chris and I can have some spending money for christmas. But its going slow since I am going crazy for school. Hopefully Ill be able to do some sewing so I can post it on etsy, but we will see how that goes.
So for my Image Manipulation final project I'm making a tattoo magazine cover with two spreads in it. I only have one spread left and then I have to write a paper explaining How I created it (woo..) lol I'm not good at writing papers. For Form & Space I'm creating a journal, a box for that journal to go in and a portfolio, & they all have to match. I decided to go with a Texas theme, lol, my classmates thought it was a good idea and liked it the most. I started it already and was prepared to just do the binding this weekend, but I ran into some issues. Hopefully itll turn out how I plan. For Typography I'm creating my own Typeface. I don't think mine is all that creative like with how some people made theirs all crazy, mines just pretty and curvy lol. And last but not least for my Electric Layout class I am making a brochure on Yamaha instruments. That one is going alright, I ran into an issue with InDesign CS5 files not working on the CS4 version, and of course didn't know this until I got to class last night. I threw something together so that I could turn something in. But now I know, freaking sucks tho.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving went really well over here at our apartment. Daniel came over and hung out and grice and brandon came over too. I made green bean casserole from scratch using Elton's (from good eats) recipe, stuffing (out of the box lol), cherry pie, and apple caramel cheesecake. Chris fried the Turkey and made the potatoes and gravy. It was a really good meal and time consuming lol. We injected the turkey with a cajun seasoning chris put together. My cherry pie was the first pie I have ever made and it turned out really well and pretty :P. I made a big one and a little one, which the little one isn't as pretty cuz it was last minute but its still cute cuz its small lol. I didn't take a picture of my cheesecake but it tastes pretty good too. Now I'm cracking down on getting my gifts made for Christmas and finishing this quarter up. I only have about 3 weeks left. Which is crazy. But I'm excited. My top wisdom teeth are coming is so now food keeps getting stuck behind them. Ive been pretty much been going to school. Trying to make some money here and there.
I'm going to finish my slice of yummy cheesecake :) have a good one.

Mid-terms this week

I have to say that I did pretty well in my Image manipulation midterm, I made a book cover for Paramore :)It looks pretty cool. My midterm project for my form and space class was to make a kinetic mobile. It turned out alright, it's not as nice as I wanted it to be, but it got the job done. Ill try and make a better one later when I have more time to get it done. I started making make-up bags. The first one that I made, was like a test run and I turned out cute. At least I think so. And then I made another one later out of fabric that I was going to use for something else a few years back ( I don't even remember what it was that I was going to make out of it.) I think its pretty cute. I'll most likely make something this week. Its crazy that I'm already halfway through my second quarter. I've learned so much in so little time lol.
Chris is home, and its really nice. We went on a mini date last night which was fun. I'm just so glad he's home. Speaking of last night. Isn't it like a rule that if your front light is off that means don't come to our house? Its like an unspoken universal rule of Halloween lol. I didn't buy candy for the children. But they came anyways! Our light was off the whole time. So we took all the neglected candy that was in our candy drawer and gave it to them lol. When we left to go eat we left maybe the 10 pieces that we had left in a box and left it out on the front porch. and it was all gone by the time we came back :) We gave out trident layers lol cuz that's all we had at the end. It's so weird that I was the one who had to get up early this morning and leave Chris to sleep lol, usually its the opposite or both of us are getting up.
We are starting the pop up section of form and space. Bye :)

what a burger

I'm crazy craving what-a-burger and its driving me crazy! There aren't any here in cali, which means I'm going to have to get some for christmas lol. What-a-burger, I miss you.

InDesign

For those of you have used adobe products you know of photoshop and flash, well I am being introduced to InDesign. Which I'm having issues learning about it so hopefully I can get a copy of the program soon so I don't have to drive all the way to school to mess with it. I'm almost done with my Yamaha ad, but I'm not sure if it is going to turn out okay. My teacher hasn't responded to me about my roughs so hopefully it will turn out well. My load at school is slowly getting heavier. I can tell that this quarter is going to be a hectic one. So far I am doing pretty well so hopefully it will stay that way.
Ive been exercising more. Taking the long way (walking not driving), going up stairs instead of using the elevator. I've been walking Busa more, but no matter how long he gets walked he doesn't get that tired. He hit his 6 month marker on the 21st :).
Tonight I'm going to be sewing somethings so that I can start selling them. We will see how that goes.

tired as all get out

I ended up getting at the most three hours of sleep. I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me. I have made potstickers for dinner since I need to go grocery shopping its about all that I have left to eat. My parents come to visit me tomorrow and I'm super excited. Its going to be a good week and hopefully things will go okay school wise. For my midterm for form and space is a kinetic mobile. Which is pretty awesome. I'm going to make one and tryto be super creative. It would be nice if I had a saw so then I could make one out of wood. How cool would that be?! Lol. Kay I'm going to enjoy my dinner and pass out watching bones.

My side project

I think I'm going to make another blog, and its going to be about the things that I'm going to make. I want to sew purses (mainly). One, because we all know that I destroy my purses, two, because it will be cheaper if I make my own purses, and three I can sell them and make money that way since getting a job in the middle of BFE is almost impossible I might as well make the most of it. Plus it shouldn't be hard to balance my homework and sewing.
I just thought I'd post that while I was thinking about it. I gots to get up super early for school tomorrow. Soooo Good night :)

upchucked

Sunday night/Monday morning, I woke up to an upset stomach and tossed my cookies..twice. I wont go into details but ever since then my stomach has been giving me issues. I haven't been feeling well and also working on school stuff. I have been starting to sew again which is good. I haven't been able to buy fabric so Ive been using old clothes that I don't wear anymore and so far the clutch I've been working on is turning out pretty good. I just have to get some interfacing to make it sturdy and so I can finish it. I've been filling out job applications, but so far nothing. I'm super excited for school.
My parents are coming to visit, which is nice because I miss my family (not only my parents tho, my whole family)
For my Electronic Layout class I'm making this ad for Yamaha scooters, and in doing my research I now want one lol. Mainly the Vino Classic, because it looks freaking awesome. The only thing is, is that I'm not comfortable driving in Cali like to and fro school since it is mainly highways. But anyways, I'm going to go work on the book that I have to make for Form and Space.

I got it out :D

NO MORE PINK!! I'm both sad and happy. It took so much crap trying to fade it and then I decided to search instead of fading hair to what will happen if I dye over manic panic. :) A stylist said that because manic panic is a vegetable based dye (which is also why it doesn't hurt your hair dying your hair with manic panic), dying over it with a semi-permanent or permanent dye the chemicals in it will automatically lift the vegetable dye out. Sooooooo... Thats what I did, I went to walmart and got the closest color to my natural hair color which no one has seen in years, and it actually is the color my hair is normally so that made me happy to find it cuz normally I have to dye it darker. My hair isn't all on shade but it is all brown, just a lighter brown and a darker brown so thats not bad :) Now I can let my hair grow and not worry about it anymore.
My apartment is super clean which also makes me happy. It relieves so much stress not having a messy apartment. I must say that I had plans with sewing and working out but then this morning my power went out when I woke up and would come back on for 2 min and then went back out for about 3 hours so I just fell back asleep. Also it was storming outside, which I must admit was nice. We don't get that a lot out here. I like storms :)

Just proves my point

I haven't really been able to sleep the past couple days and since I don't have homework I haven't really been doing a whole lot other than cleaning and looking stuff up on the internet.
I was on the nest, which is a newly wed sight and you can connect with different people and it just has a whole lot of stuff on it. I was doing my bio and on the profile you create you get a blog too and I thought I was posting on the blog not my Bio, but anyways. I was talking about how Id rather be back home in Texas and talking about how the people out here in Cali aren't the friendliest and stuff like that. And this girl, posted on this forum thing that I posted on, which was to a newly wed into the military wanting to meet new people, and this girl said for those of you who posted how much you hate California in your bio, and all sorts of crap and went on to talk about how in 29 palms is only one part of California (which I've been to L.A. and around there and then I drive more than an hour to get to school so its not like I've only been in this area, just sayin) and then how Dallas doesn't have southern hospitality (I did post something about southern hospitality and how I missed it) and was like Ive been to Dallas and there was no southern hospitality, (I never said Dallas). I didn't respond because it just proved my point about most people who are either from cali or still live here (not just in the desert). Mind you I did say that not everyone in cali is rude, because I have some friends out here and that because theres a culture difference things are obviously different.
So I decided to just not give those people any attention and avoid the stupid crap that people want to start. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but making drama out of it is stupid.

I've been up for like 5 hours now, and it kinda sucks, I don't want to go back to sleep because then I wont be able to sleep tonight and all that kind of junk.
Fading my hair hasn't been going to well, I've used color oops, vitamin C and shampoo, baking soda, dish washing soap, home-made hot oil treatment, I think thats all I've done. and my pink isn't coming out but I think all the black has turned to brown which is good.

Sonic and Parks

Its so weird to think you know someone for over 5 years and come to find out you never really knew them at all. All the memories made, just to mean nothing at all. And it happens in just a matter of seconds.

It feels like a giant weight has been lifted

I have all of next week off from school! No more finals! Ahh, its so nice. AND I have never been this awake on a Thursday since this past quarter even started. It's really weird cuz I woke up at 6 with no alarm and then fell back asleep till 8 cuz Busa was all up in my face and jumping on me and making a whole lot of noise. I've cleaned a little already and Ive been posting stuff on 29yardsales.com for most of the day since I actually have stuff to get rid of thats just sitting around doing nothing what. so. ever. I cooked lunch, it didn't turn out perfect but its pretty good. I figured I'd start posting my wonderful projects from this now past quarter. I will post my deviant art, Ive already started. My photography deviantart is SpokenStillPhoto, and my design one is MeggerzDesign.
I am taking the black and pink out of my hair and I am leaving it alone so it will grow. I know this is super shocking esp for all of the people who have known me, esp those who have known me a long time. Im going to make a collage in memory of my hair lol.

California is wonderful.. OH if only

On my way home today from my final I ran into someone with too much road rage. He was in a Filta van, even though this guy was in a company van he sped up when I was attempting to pass him so then it made it to where I cut him off. Well he took it personal. After getting out of the mountain he proceeded to tail gate me and was inches away from hitting me and then ran me off the road, literally almost hit my car and was in my lane and forced me to get on the median.. A GROWN ASS MAN gets upset over something that he himself had caused. After he ran me off I got back in front by passing the van that was in front of me before this dick messed with me. So this guy in the filta van sped up and continued to ride my butt. In response to that I kept the same speed as the car next to me which conveniently sped up and would slow down which pissed the guy off more. Finally he got the point and backed off and I let him pass.

I really dont like it here. The people here are rude, inconsiderate and have almost no common sense. I can't wait to get out of here.

Other than that, Chris and I are doing very well. This weekend was good, my cooking is always better when chris is home lol. Its weird how that works, I guess that because I'm only cooking for myself I dont really care.
Oh I'm going to be cooking my way through a Japanese cook book, I just got to go get one. I'm also going to fade my hair on purpose and get my hair to look semi normal, I'm sad I'm getting rid of the pink n purple but its time. My hair doesn't match my clothes (if that makes sense) I out grew all those clothes, like really, within a matter of 6 months I out grew most of my shirts and now some of my jeans don't fit, I have to get some more belts or something.
I feel like I'm babbling.

I'm going to go finish my last project of the quarter :)

peat or repeat

I know I keep repeating myself but I want to go home. I don't like California. I don't like the drivers, I don't like most of the people, because most of them are rude and inconsiderate. I want to be around the rest of my family. Don't get me wrong I want to be with Chris all the time, but since hes been gone at his course I don't really get to see him that much. I just miss being around my family. I miss being around decent people. I miss grass, even tho I'm allergic to it lol. I miss the clear blue skys of Texas, and having humidity and I miss rain. I miss the people I have grown up with.

I don't know what it is but Thursdays I am always exhausted. I go 90 to nothing monday thru wednesday and then thursday comes around and its like my body is like okay you can't do anything today.

I miss home

I miss the nights when I was surrounded by friends that truely love me and think i'm more than a pretty face. I miss Texas, I miss being in the town that we all thought there was nothing to do in. Now that I am really in the middle of no where, I'd love to be back in that small town with my family.
I dyed my hair purple, pink, turquoise and a tad bit of orange. It didn't turn out that great, as in I'm past that stage in my life. As much as I love dying my hair all these wonderful colors Its time to settle down. I don't know how well this is going to work lol, but I'm going to grow out my natural hair color which people haven't seen in years and I'm not sure If ill be able to handle that either but we will see.
I'm watching the VMA's and its retarded that I know this isn't live because when it started on tv, it was dark outside not sunny with the sun going down. :( They'll air it live everywhere else except where its actually being recorded at. Idk, w.e.
Next weekend Chris and I are going to go see Resident Evil. I'M SO EXCITED!!! Resident Evil is possibly my favorite movie series of all time.
My last project for my design class is on a fortune cookie, and my fortune is "If you want the rainbow, you must put up with the rain" Which I can do the literal with rainbows and rain or I can take it more to a intellectual stand put. And I'm having some issues with come up with 50 thumbnails, but thats always the case now isn't it.
To be honest, I'm kind of scared to let anyone into my life and trust them the way that I use to. It's still all surface with all the people that Ive met at school.
I'm not going to put everything on here because the world doesn't need to know everything the people I can talk to, for the most part, know the in depth things but still, theres only stuff that Chris and I share. At first it was weird but now I only want to tell him everything, because he's the only one who knows all my secrets, all my downfalls, all that I have accomplished, everything that makes me, me.
OH my hair is now Black with pink and a tiny tiny bit of purple. I didn't finish my thought earlier lol.
Well Its bed/thumbnail time. Good night

2 weeks left

I have only 2 weeks left of this quarter, and a crap load of stuff to finish. BUT I'm excited lol, these 11 weeks have gone by so fast its nuts. I'm so much closer to getting my degree.
5 days ago Chris and I celebrated our 1 Year anniversary! :D I know its exciting! :) We went to San Diego and had some fun. We went to Sea World and out to eat and to the movies. It was really nice, we got to spend some quality time together. :) We have come so far and its so nice to be married to the most wonderful man on earth. I love my Best Friend and he loves me :)

I still haven't found a job, and its kind of frustrating, I'm not use to this whole not working thing. I just need something like a couple days a week. Just so I have a job. Hopefully I can get my tshirt company going soon so I can get that going and then that can be my job.

A lot has happened since my last post, even tho that wasn't really anything. But Idk what to talk about. I'm going to try and get my hair trimmed tomorrow since its in bad shape. I also want to dye it but i think I'll be doing that myself.

San Diego here we come

Mine and Chris' one year is in two days :D and we are going to San Diego to celebrate. I'm pretty much excited.

I love my family and I miss them.

This post isn't long, cuz I dont really have anything that I want to share with the world, plus I'm tired. So maybe later.
