I'll try to make this as quick as I can since I'm trying to go to the gym and feel that I have soo much to write about. Just so many things have been happening that I need an outlet on where to transpire my thoughts into words. This would be it, except I'm not really liking vox because for the last 2 posts that I've tried to do at work. The computer crashes and it doesn't save anything leaving with an empty post.

 And for that mere reason, I have acquired MY OWN DOMAIN. Actually 2 domains, one for my dog sitting business, www.candysbestfriends.com and one for my graphic design business, www.poetic-imagery.net. It's taken 60 days to get my poetic imagery domain to be transferred from GoDaddy.com to 1and1. It's been an awful long waiting period, but now that it's finally done I feel that I can start working and showing off the work that I've been doing. Everyone needs to see how good I am with my graphic design skillets. Lol =P

It's been a good day, except this morning when this broad at work who has the same position as me decides to tell me off. That sort of upset me, but other than that, it's been great. I would write about the incident here but I don't know if anyone from work reads this and I don't need any names put out there up front. So for now, we'll just call her a broad.

Natalie (my friend from work) introduced me to one of the greatest things, LIKE EVER. An Ice Grande Breve Green Tea Latte!!

If I would have known that it was SOOOO good, I would have gotten the VENTI. Damn, lol. Now I know what is great and still SORT of healthy up at Starbucks.

I'm trying to go to the gym and exercise because I have not done so in the past 2 days. I've just been so busy with a lot of projects, school, my boyfriend, working 6 days this week and dogsitting. Craziness! Sometimes I don't know how I pull it all off...Speaking of school, the class I'm currently taking is almost done. I am almost done with my Drawing I class and I'm so very proud. I have to get cracking on my final project which is done soon. I need ideas for the beginning of an art project, ANYONE?

Anyways, this is a sample of my homework that must be turned in Thursday. It's an entire composition done with nothing but pen & ink. Neat huh? I think I've always been pretty good using the pen as a drawing utensil. Everyone knows I always doodle and shit while I'm at work. I still have the other composition to do, but I should be done by then. I will get an A, I just know it. I try hard for these grades because I know the potential being school releases in me. I feel that going to school is my motivation to continue because it's like someone is pushing me to get the work done and Im doing it, duuudee..

SO one of my websites, which I'm very proud is coming all together and should be done soon. This project is called Our Incarcerated Loved Ones, u can view the progress here: WWW.CO-IMPRISONMENT.COM I'm currently working on creating a theme with the lovely and grand, wordpress. It's been working out pretty great so we'll see, I just have to customize the styles and what not. My deadline is June 12 so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that my guardian angel shows up to help me get it done in time.

It's been an awesome week and I think June is just getting started... I have some BIIIIGGG News to reveal soon, but I will keep them to myself until the process is complete. That's it for now. TATA

That word is filled of so many verbs that today can only describe. I feel so loved in ways that words cannot characterize. This past week has been amazing itself and to have such an amazing human being as my boyfriend is breathtaking. I started school on Thursday, April 9, 2008. I am now a student at International Academy of Design & Technology. I go to school every Thursday, from 6pm-11pm. I'm taking a Drawing Class and I love it so far. Am I excited? Hell yes, so much I'm almost done with my homework, well I have a little bit to go, but if I wasn't excited, I wouldn't even care to start so early. My first homework assignment was to draw 5 eggs in a bowl so I did, just that.

I'm not taking out any loans right now, but have managed to take one class until my whole residency legal bojangles paperwork that is taking FOREVER (it seems like) gets fixed.

Regardless of not being able to be a full time student (and I only really have to take 2 classes to be considered full time) I am glad that everything seems to finally be going the way I imagined it.

In other news, I dyed my hair to a dark brown, no more blonde. I was getting sick and tired of it. I don't know when else I'll be a blonde again. I love it and it's so much different from what I had so it's a good change. Changes are great,

especially when they're better choices.

I believe that things have happened for a reason, as long as I keep being motivated and determined, everything will be fine. I refuse to be stuck having a JOB: Just Over Broke. all my life. I want to do something that makes me happy, that fulfills in my life, the way Graphic Design does. It tickles my fancy, it motivates me.

As you can tell by the image, I did a little bit of editing on the background to make it interesting... Today was such a great Saturday. It was the perfect end to a great week. It's just been wonderful knowing that I'm loved and I'm doing the best to continue fulfilling my dreams. Hopefully doing this will show my little brother that he too, can be the best at everything he tries. I want him to see me succeed and be a good role model to him.

I've also working really hard trying to get my credit score up, that way when I am able to get a student loan, I can do so without the need of a co-signer. I don't know who in the world would co-sign me so I'm working hard at doing this all on my own. I know I can do it. All I need is the loving support of my parents, family and of course, the boyfriend :) Speaking of which, he got me the most beautiful amazing twelve red roses. They are gorgeous!!

 He told me to meet him after I got off work because he had something that he wanted to show me. I'm just thinking in my head like what is he going to show me? And then come to find out he had a beautiful bouquet for me. Sighs...It can't get any better than this.

I definitely see nothing but great things in the future ahead. 2009 is going to be a year filled with a lot of extraordinary surprises. I can't wait for it to unroll, but I've been this patient this long. It can only get better. I wish all my days were like this. Overjoyed, overloved. It cannot get any better.
