Excited

Well, I am officially in the jewelry business! I am kind of excited. A couple months ago, I would have been like… ummm, me sell jewelry? I don’t think so! But it’s strange how things work out some things. I really never even wore jewelry. I decided to have a jewelry show a few months [...]

Sick, Sick, Sick

Okay, so yesterday, I left work early. I threw up once at home before I left and thought I’d be okay, but by 9, I had thrown up twice more at work and still felt terrible. I went home because I didn’t really want to be kneeling in that floor any more! Plus, I really [...]

Hard Day

I would like to think that I work really hard at whatever I do. I tend to pour myself into whatever I’m doing, especially if it’s my responsibility. I, also, tend to always think things are going to work out for the best, that people are going to do the right thing, and that you [...]
