Happy Birthday to Me!

Yes, it's my 24th birthday, and I am up at 7 AM. I have a problem with waking up early now, which I don't know is necessarily bad except when I stay up until 12:30 AM (like last night- I've been good the rest of the week). Anyways, my new habit of waking up early (without an alarm, might I add) has helped me with being on time to church two times this year. Yes, I said this year. I have been late to every single sacrament meeting minus two this year. Want to know why? Because church went from 1 PM to 9 AM, and I had no transition time. I think with school and taking Jon to work early, I have finally had that transition time that is telling my body that it needs to be up early. So, hopefully, I'll continue making it on time to church. Did I even mention that our ward always starts sacrament meeting 5 minutes late? Yes, so I have until 9:05 AM, and church is only a less than 1 minute drive or 5 minute walk.

Anyways, onto other things. I have two pictures to post. They aren't of Jon nor me. I just thought that my blog needed some pictures, and since I suck at taking pictures most of the time (I blame my camera because it kills the battery life very quickly- in a manner of a few short hours). The pictures relate to my last post about my apron and the $1 patterns I bought at Joann's. Please excuse our nasty carpet- I swear it's like that all the time and not just because I only vacuum once every three months. Actually, I'm not sure what that white stuff in the first picture is, but I'll say it's paint because the girl that painted these apartments sucked at her job.

I hated that ruffle, and I don't know how I feel about ever making a ruffle again. Maybe a little one. That one was four times the length of the bottom of the apron. Can you see how annoying that was to bunch/ruffle AND sew (especially when my old machine has problems when it has to sew through more than two layers of fabric)? Obviously, I am not done. I still need to do the straps, but I need to go visit my teacher's apartment a few doors down to get help with that.

Here are the patterns I got. I pretty much picked up anything I thought I might want to try someday. Plus, Jon picked out a little something for himself. Although, I did warn him that if I did ever attempt a men's button down shirt, it probably won't be for a while. Umm... but those bibs made me seriously LOL, almost as much as the dog clothing patterns that I really wanted to get (but we don't have a dog nor would Jon let me dress up our future dog... OH WAIT, we don't have children either though........*awkward silence*).

That's all for now. Here's hoping our car will work today, so Jon can drive me to my free birthday lunch at Tucanos and to a movie.... otherwise, we might be walking (not to Tucanos though- that's on the other side of Provo!).

P.S. I'm going to Disneyland AND California Adventure AND San Diego in less than three weeks, and you're not. :P
