Art Institute

I am offically enrolled at the Art Institute! Im so excited! July 11 is my first day of class! The campus is amazing. The only 'Green' building in all of Fort Worth!  I have to write a 300 word essay of two of three things:

1. What do you expect from the Art Institutes education? How will help you reach your life and career goals?

2. List three of your strengths. Choose two and explain how those strengths have contributed to your success in school, in art or in your life.

3. Discuss a life challenge and the efforts you took to meet and work through it.  

 All my paper work!^
so exciting to see it all come together! My classes!^

The car and school! The only thing missing is a job! (thanks goodness for unemployment!) But once I get started in my classes, my counselors will help me find a part-time job! 

I am traveling a litte more in the next few months, another trip to Lubbock (kinda of boring but i told my sister Id help her move back home for the summer), Chicago to see family, Vegas for a sibling vacation, a cruise, a quick weekend in California to visit an old friend ;-), New York to ring in 2012... all these opportunities to get out there and get out of Texas!  but hopefully I wont miss much school if I can time it right! Ill have one week of school in and then I'll be leaving for my trip to Puerto Rico and only miss one day of actual class! 76 days left! It's flying by so quickly! 

I thought this year was going to turn into a bust, but i wasn't about to let some little bump in the road get me down! I just had to let doors close and eventually new ones would open! Whats next? Chicago to write more? New York to work for a magazine? Arizona for a job opportunity if they liked me? My mini coupe? (i know, i know! Im grateful for the wheels that I do have, but Im just sayin!) ah, guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...
