Less than 1 week...

And I'm still working away on bags! I really don't know how many bags I plan on making, but it seems like I will make a lot, just in case. Most bags will probably be filled with little candies and a note, partly because I'm short on time, partly because I'm short on money, partly because there are so many people I want to give at least something to, and partly because I want to make it personal and meaningful! At least the bags are not Christmas-y at all, so they can be reused for whatever purpose the person wants. That was kind of the point... Everyone gets a little something handmade. I just wonder how I'll finish all the notes!

Oddly enough, I'm sort of enjoying this sewing business. I guess you can't really knock it until you try it... I don't particularly enjoy hand-sewing, though, it's much more time-consuming than machine-sewing. But I shouldn't knock it off until I seriously try it with an open mind again.

Something else I've been thinking about: I am considering starting another blog in which I will chronicle my craftiness and this blog will be my random about-my-life-craft-and-all personal blog, with no pictures. I don't know how it'll work out, but once I get done with all my Christmas crafting, I'll try to sort out what I want. So... back to bags now!

Something I wanted to say

But I guess there's no point in airing it out to a general public and that person might not even read it...! Oh well. I should be a woman and just talk to that person about it. And maybe I will. We'll see.

So, since Christmas is coming up soon... What is happiness to you? To me, it is being with the people I love and know that they love me too. (Oh, and it would be nice if they actually acted the way they feel, instead of being a jerk to cover up their feelings. Haha.)

Oh, and I love this song!

Lots of Fun Today!

Well, the beginning wasn't so awesome. Kids throwing lovely tantrums today... Oh well. I survived that part.

Then I invited Melissa to come to Emmanuel and she actually came! I'm so proud of her! =3 We played a Jeopardy Bible game that probably wasn't 100% fair cuz you could get a lot of questions right by being there before... But still, I had fun. Our team... er... won. >>; I feel like I'm back to being "the smart one" again. Oh well. It's stuff like this that I understand better than feelings and relationships, unfortunately. Book-smart rather than people-smart.

But I'm happy! Because Melissa came! And other... stuff too. Haha. =3

Hm...

I think I'm becoming more and more of a slacker. When it's time to be "good" and go to sleep and stuff, I haven't been. I used to be so consistent in sleeping before 11 and now... Well, I didn't go to bed this morning till 4. One of these days I might end up pulling an all-nighter but thankfully that seems very unlikely, considering how beat up I was by 4 AM. I honestly was okay because I was lying down/sitting while on the phone, but when I got up to get ready for bed after the phone call... Let's just say it's a really good thing that I didn't have work or finals today (well, that was the reason I let myself talk that late anyway). I didn't hurt myself, but I definitely felt a little dizzy.

So next time, I will not let myself stay up that late. I'm learning. I hope this doesn't make that person distrust me because I really did think I was okay staying up that late. And I knew I could recover today because I could rest. At any rate, it was totally worth it to stay up and talk/listen. =]

My dad asked me this morning how late I stayed up. Errr... I kinda didn't answer. T_T; He knew I was up till at least 2 because of my light, but then I turned it off and talked before turning it back on at 3:30 to write in my journal. I had a lot to process. And he could tell because I never usually wake up that late unless I've been up late too.

I think I need to rethink this sewing thing. It's definitely more complicated than I thought it would be. XD

At least I haven't broken the sewing machine... Yet.

I think I'll go take a nap. (I woke up at 10:15 today. My body is wayyy out-of-it now.)

In a super hopeful but definitely not asking for anything tone...

-Cue puppy dog eyes- For Christmas? You know, my Chinese names means Jade Lotus and yeah... Haha. Well, I just think it's pretty. I definitely don't need another spindle. More like I would rather have enough yarn for a sweater right now cuz it is COLD.
