In between school and avoiding homework, I have been working on a few things.
Hot Pink w/ star:
I really like this one. Christmas Ivory w/ poinsetta:
Halloween Black & Purple:
Some new stuff!
I made a sale!!
Today is the day of sales for me!
Tonight, I sold my first official baby hat on Ebay.
This is the one I sold to a lady out of San Diego.
I also sold one of my headbands to a friend- which was also really exciting. And I also sold one of Bevan's old textbooks today on Half.com...which was a little random.
I'm thinking today is my lucky day and I should buy a lotto ticket.
But I'm really super excited I finally sold some of my stuff. It's always easy to convince yourself that you like something since your the one that made it! But today after selling two of my things- it just gives me the confidence to keep going!
If you need a new phone...
Sunday, August 24, 2008
I highly suggest the Blackberry Curve.
Bevan and I each got one yesterday and we have been doing nothing but playing with them ever since. It is amazing some of the stuff it can do. It has a really really nice camera, and MP3 player, XM radio, and a GPS. Of course you have to buy the extended package to get the XM radio and GPS capabilities- but Bevan and I decided to test them out first before we do any upgrades.
I'm excited for this phone because I can browse like 1000 different games on it, and I can either buy them or do the free trial run. It already has one of my all time favorite games downloaded on it- it's going to be perfect since school starts tomorrow!!
40k
Thursday, August 21, 2008
I had a couple comments about my profile for Bevan. Under it I said he "spent most of his time working in the ER, painting little men, and complaining about Mrs. B's obsession of reality t.v." The comments were, "what in the hell is painting little men!?!?"
And then I remembered that not everyone is a Burnell.
haha...and it was kind of funny for me to take a step back and realize that if you aren't a Burnell- the phrase "painting little men" might be a little strange, to say the least...
Bevan, his dad, and all of his brothers play this game called Warhammer 40,000 or "40k" for short. I call them "little men."
It's a game very similar to Risk- that it involves strategy, and planning, and war. But you use little figurines that you can leave as is, or you can paint. This game is HUGE worldwide and you can actually enter your "little men" into contests to see which one is painted the best, or the most lifelike- because it takes a lot of talent to make a little 4" figurine look like a killing machine.
Anyways, hope that clears up any confusion...
Project: Laziness
Monday, August 18, 2008
My goal this week is to be laziest I can possibly be. So that leaves me with six days to lay around on the couch, watch reality tv, and forget all my troubles behind. Why might I be doing this? Well, it's because Idaho State starts back up on Monday Aug. 25- the day I no longer have freedom and become a slave to idiotic liberal professors who take their aggression out on unsuspecting college students like myself. Bevan has yet to be privy to my "no showering, screw housework" plan...but he will soon find out. :)
In other news, today was my first day of "THE diet." I must say, it went really really well.I was literally eating every two hours. I also feel really good- not once did I think I was being deprived of anything. I can already tell how much I am going to like this "diet" because I never once felt starved- which I loathe about certain diets. I also wrote down when I was eating, and what I was eating each time I had a meal. It really helped me keep on track, and organized so I didn't mess up. I think the only thing I will have a problem with is getting my lazy ass up to make and/or prepare my meals for the day when I am working.
Other than that, the Burnell household is pretty quiet these days.

Beyond Calories
Saturday, August 16, 2008
So thanks to my wonderful sister in law Mara- I will be starting a new "diet." I don't really want to call it a diet, because it's not really like that. I don't really have to give up much- besides portion size! I don't even have to give up carbs or my beloved coffee ( or creamer)! It goes in ten day cycles- and it shows you how to mix foods, so your body is burning the maximum amount of calories. I also get to eat SIX times a day- which works out for me since I'm pretty sure I'm hypoglycemic.
I'm doing this with my friend Mindy- we are starting on Monday. After the ten days- we decided we are going to take one day "off" from the diet- and have a girls night out. I'll keep ya'll updated, and let you know how successful it is- or how hard it is to follow, stuff like that.

Suffering
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Generally speaking, I have a relatively high tolerance for pain- but watching Bevan suffer is worse than any physical pain I have ever been through.
Bevan is going through a really rough time right now. There were things that he was really trying to accomplish this year- and none of it is working out. I hate seeing him so upset, and so down on himself. It just kills me. I can see what a talented, brilliant, giving man he is- but others can not. I wish I could force people to see who he really is- because he is truly a great guy. I'll be praying for him to catch a break- because he is the one person I know who deserves it the most.
New stuff!!
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
So for the past few days I have been working on some new stuff! I'm actually pretty excited, and have already posted it all on Etsy.
The ones Im really excited about are these new crocheted baby beanie hats I made.And here are a couple more headbands I've made:
Wide Headbands
Monday, August 4, 2008
Since Bevan is gone to Boise- I find myself not wanting to sleep. So here are the other headbands I've been working on.
Headbands
Here is what I have been working on the past few days, in between reading Breaking Dawn! (I'm trying to read this book slower so it will last longer.)
Anyways, these are some baby headbands I have been working on to sell either on etsy.com, direct, or at the festival of trees!
All of these above, I'm going to be selling for $5 each, or 2/$8.50
I have some other stuff...but I'm feeling lazy, so I'll post it later.
Till next time.
FYI
Friday, August 1, 2008
Sam's Club will be selling Breaking Dawn for $13.54, which is cheaper than Wal-mart, hastings, and Barnes & Noble. They received close to 200 copies- so it should last a while.
I went back to receiving today to look at them. All I have to say is: Wow. I read the back of it too- and my heart melted. I also started thumbing through it- and it looks like it's going to be a goody. I can't wait for tomorrow when I can legally read it.
Happy reading everyone- I'm sure the blog world will be quiet for a few days.
