Sweet Somethings

Today is my two month anniversary of officially dating G.  We've really been dating for about 4 months, but anyway... He says some of the sweetest things to me. Yesterday we celebrated Halloween by watching The Simpson's Treehouse of Horror and not wearing costumes or anything. He said a couple of things that, yeah it's mushy but deal with it this is MY blog, made my heart melt.  That's right, I said it!  The first thing he was, when we were cuddling on the couch watching TV, he smelled me and said, "You smell like... *sniff sniff* heaven."  And then later, when he was leaving the room, he looked back and said, "You're so pretty."  I never ever get tired of hearing that, ever.  But the sweetest thing he's ever said to me was last month, when he stopped himself from arguing with me about religion.  I'm a Christian and he's agnostic.  He just said, "The best reason I have to believe in god is that there must be a god, because he had to have made you for me."  It almost made me cry, and I'm not an emotional person, at all, at least not outwardly.

Anyway, enough of the sappiness.  I took a bunch of pictures the other day, and it was actually really fun once I figured out a good technique using the 2-shot self-timer on my camera and a cereal box as a tripod.  It's for the stuff I'm selling on eBay for my starting capital.  So far there are 14 items, and I haven't even gotten to my t-shirts yet, which there is a massive amount of.  I've been meaning to edit them but the task is pretty daunting, since there are about 6 pictures of each item, so that's a lot of editing.  In other news, I was supposed to have a job interview at Goodwill last Friday, but once I got downtown, I found out that the bus I was supposed to transfer to in order to get there no longer runs.  So I came back home, 2 hours wasted on bus travel, plus more of waiting for the bus before realizing it wasn't coming.  The good news is that I called Goodwill and talked to them and they transferred my application to a closer store, one that G drives past every morning on his way to work.  So I'm waiting to hear back on that.  I really need to get a winter coat and boots, but it's difficult on a budget, since those are fairly expensive items.  So I'm hoping the thrift stores on the Ave will have something I can afford, so I don't freeze to death.  I found some stuff online, but I never buy clothing or shoes online, since I really need to try them on in person.  Plus I don't want to spend more than $20, and some of them cost that, but with shipping, they cost about $40.

I just noticed that my blogiversary has come and gone without me even noticing.  I started blogging September 30, 2010, so I guess soon I'll reflect on what this blog started out as, and what it has turned into.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

With the changing of the seasons come changes to my blog. Did you see that nifty ad box in my blog's upper right corner? That's here to stay now.  And, depending on its success, more ad boxes might join it.  In other news, I'm going to start taking this "I'm a freelance graphic designer" thing seriously.  I ordered some business cards today, 100 of them.  There was this promotional deal where I got them for free and just had to pay shipping.  In hindsight, I should have probably made my company website first, but oh well.  So yeah, I run my own company now.  It's called Honeybee Designs and I plan to create my new website for free using Blogger, so you guys will be the first ones to know once that's up and running.  G and I are really starting to get into the holiday spirit.  Mainly because it's nearly freezing out lately, 40 degrees F.  So yesterday we bought pumpkin ice cream and ate it while cuddling under blankets watching movies.  Two movies we watched over the weekend that were both really good and are on Netflix, that you should totally watch, but I'm not going to review them properly right now, since this blogpost is going to be long enough without it, are Paper Man and Cherry.  Paper Man is one of my new favorite movies.  And Cherry is also pretty fantastic.  So watch those.

In football, the Washington Huskies got their butts thoroughly kicked by Stanford Cardinal this past weekend.  Let's just say we lost by over 30 points and leave it at that.  Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns played a game of who sucks slightly less on Sunday.  Nobody scored a touchdown, but the Browns beat the Seahawks 6-3.  Truly pathetic.  Sidenote: in my mind, today is Monday.  Because G took the week off to work on his paper for his master's degree and I've been staying at his house until today.  I helped him transcribe his entire 48 minute long video for his paper.  It took me significantly longer than 48 minutes.

The other big news is that I am going to start reselling thrift store clothing and stuff on eBay in an attempt to make some extra money.  It was G's idea, since he always marvels at the things I find for so cheap at thrift stores, and he hasn't even seen the little black dress I got on my last trip yet.  So I plan to list all of the clothing I don't wear and use whatever money I make off of that as capital to buy more stuff to resell.  I'll blog about how that goes, of course.

In other news, I received my E.L.F. order today and I'm really excited about that.  Like I said, I'll review one product from that every once in a while on here, so you can expect to see lots more pictures of me in the future. 

And last of all, I have an announcement: in my next blogpost, I will be having a giveaway with two winners, who will each receive a tube of lipstick, so watch out for that.

I hope you are all staying warm and healthy, and I'll be back again soon.
