Projects:
i have recently joined the site amusingmuses. i was invited by a member of the AFA website and i'm so excited! the new forum is full of really talented people and new and exciting projects. they do a lot of postcards (4x6) and shapes (birds, mermaids, bunnies). my latest project is the May Contest for creating a cyclops bunny rabbit. i just got the template today and can't wait to start on it! i've also been working on an alphabet postcard series. i'll attach my A and B cards. what happens is we create one every week and are assigned someone at random to send it to like you would a postcard. so my goal is to get one of each letter and create a book at the end. i think it'll be awesome!
Musings:
today is cinco de mayo and we've got a lot of plans for tonight's kickball games. the drunk skunks will be playing against the drunk drunks! it will be me versus my boyfriend. my sister versus her boyfriend. two equally matched teams! i'm so excited! but, since it's a mexican holiday and all, emily is extremely excited about tonight's festivities and not so much the game. we're thinking of bringing out her hot dog cooker thingy (this is close to it: http://www.ginnys.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=33908&referrer=XJ1997&code=XJ1997&source=k200165&link=j27608492&sid=gc_58259585) and seeing if we can't use it for tamales. why not? i also made a trial batch of churros last night. they were pretty good. i follwed the recipe on foodnetwork's website. i'll probably try something different for tonight's game.
this passed weekend was Michael's wedding. it was really nice and i think good times were had by all. the church was beautiful! it was in the Irish Channel of New Orleans. it's actually on a street corner with two other Catholic churches: one was French, one German, and one Irish. their wedding was in the German church, St. Mary's Assumption. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60196620@N00/2451767946/ i couldn't have found a church more suited for them and their love of the Catholic faith. everything was well done and ran smoothly. i was nervous with my mom being there and all the other families, but everything seemed to move along with little turbulence.
on sunday, nick and i headed home and spent the day being lazy. i was really tired and felt sick all day, so i tried to nap here and there. then i couldn't sleep at night. oh well. we were supposed to go to the zoo, but i suggested just going home instead.
i sent out an email yesterday wondering what the status was on me and the LRCE's alternative certification program. i was told that letters were being sent out yesterday, so hopefully i'll get the letter in today. i'm nervous because i feel that i will be accepted, but it all comes down to how well i did on the praxis 2. i feel deep down that i failed it. but i've still got another 3 weeks or so until i get my results back.
