i am not amused with my face. i am breaking out all over my face like i just hit puberty which is funny because i rarely broke out in middle school and high school. i have no idea what’s going on. it is really irritating because it seems that everyday they are increasing exponentially. actually it’s just three spots but they are not the small and unnoticeable ones. they are the big honking ones. arrg!i don’t know if you can see all of them but there is that one above my eyebrow and his little friend next to him. there is also one on my chin that is really an under the skin spot that is not that noticeable but hurts like a nail in the eye. 

on a better note … last night when i went to target (before i started breaking out) i got four really great things. first i got this cute black/white/pink train case for my makeup along with a matching makeup bag for my purse. also i got TWO pairs of shoes. the are really quite cute but i don’t know if they are really my style. 

   

but i really like them. nothing really new to report. i am waiting on three packages. two of them should be arriving next week on the 7^th but who knows? i am working on some sketches for some plush toys that i want to make. i am trying to make the designs as easy as possible. i can sew but not in a creative way. i can make pillow cases but i’ve never done anything hard. 

i brought my sketchbook from last year to work today and i found this list that i made last summer of things to do before i die … i’m going to post it online so it will induce me to actually start on some of it.
