  • Memorial Day Weekend Update

    Wow, as usual - it's been awhile loyal xanga fans...and now that we are almost 1/2 way through 2010, maybe I should give you an update on my life.

    My Feet:
    In December I had a surgery on my right foot to remove a broken seasmoid bone (a seasmoid bone is one of two small bones that sit on either side of your big toe bone to help it stay in place: I broke the one on the inside).  This bone had been hurting for about a year and a half and had progressively gotten more "broken" the longer I ignored it.  So, in less than a month I decided that I needed the surgery and that I should get it done in December (before my insurance deductible reset for the year).  So I scheduled the surgery for a week prior to xmas-I picked this time because with the surgery I would be out from work for at least three weeks and I wanted to pick a time where I would miss the least amount of days.  But the surgery went well.  They gave me this shot that basically would numb my entire leg (make it deadweight) and would stay numb until about 9 o'clock that night.  My leg remained numb until like, 12 the next day!!  It was horrible.  Imagine having your entire leg be "asleep" for like a day and a half.  It was a terrible feeling and VERY annoying.  And having an asleep leg makes if VERY hard to get around and walk.
    As for the healing, I wasn't allowed to put my foot on the ground for three weeks.  So I rented a wheelchair and wheeled were I needed to go. (I even went at saw Sherlock Homes at the Rave ).  I couldn't get it wet for three weeks either so showering was a PAIN in the ass.  I had to sit on this shower stool and have my leg wrapped in a plastic bag sitting it up on the rim of the bathtub.  Adam and I had to buy a shower hose thing so that I could get the water wear it needed to go from the sitting position.  Adam was such a saint during this time.  He helped me in and out of the shower and held the water hose so I could wash my hair.  I constantly felt gross because I was only bathing like every three days (because it was such a pain...and well...how dirty can you get when you sit on your ass all day doing nothing?)  Christmas was really awful though.  I had to go to each of my grandparents houses and it was just so awkward going into those houses and having everyone stare at me.  I did a lot of crying this Christmas ...and I'm hoping next Christmas is amazing to make up for it.
    I was really upset with my boss during this time because before the surgery I discussed how important it was for me to be able to work during these three weeks.  I simply can not afford to "take three weeks off".  So he said it would be fine and I'll be able to work from home on stuff (because the stuff I do at work is on the computer anyway!).  I worked a grand total of 4 hours from home during these three weeks.  He freakin straight up lied to me.  I was really mad.  I spread out some vacation days amongst the three weeks...so now I'm down a week of vacation for this upcoming year.
    So anyway, I get back to work after awhile, and well...my foot starts hurting again.  A week before I went in for the surgery, another area on my foot had started hurting.  The outside of my foot, but the doctor said it's probably because you're trying not to walk on the inside of your foot (where the broken seasmoid bone was), which made since and because I wasn't walking on my foot at all for three weeks, I couldn't really tell if that new pain was hurting or not.  But anyways, it started hurting on the outside again and so I went to the doctor.  He x-rayed my foot and found out that I had broken my 5th metatarsal (the farthest outside bone in your foot).  And from the looks of it, it was broken around the time of my surgery.  ARGH!   So now I have ANOTHER broken bone in my foot...so I'm in an aircast...what fun?  And on top of that the doctor must have nicked a nerve during the surgery because I have numbness on the bottom of my foot (near the top and on my toes).  So that's fun - it constantly feels like I have a golf ball or something waded up with my toes.
    So I continue on for a few months with this aircast and then the other seasimoid bone (the one remaining in the foot that had one removed) starts to hurt (a lot) and also the outside of my other foot starts hurting.  When I go in it turns out that I have a stress fracture in my other foot's 5th metatarsal.  WTF?!?!!?   Basically because I've been walking around with an aircast I'm putting an uneven weight on my feet which caused the stress fracture.
    So at this point...I'm like, okay? what's the point of wearing the aircast if BOTH feet are freaking BROKEN?!?!!  So I bought those "sketchers shape-up" shoes, after talking with this lady at Curves who just bought them (she also has a foot in an aircast and she said to get those because, with the extra cushion they have, it helps balance your foot with the one in the aircast)  And OMG...they're the best shoes I've ever put my feet in.  They are the most comfortable shoes ever.  So I just had been wearing those shoes, and from time to time the metatarsals in my feet with ache or have a twinge of pain...but for the most part, just wearing balance shoes has helped that pain immensely.
    So last time I went to the doctors, I had developed an ingrown toenail (as if there wasn't enough wrong with my feet already!).  And he gave me 3 shots to numb me up and remove it.  I was feeling great until, like, last Tuesday and it started hurting again, and got all red and puffy and actually started bleeding.   I was like WTF?! I've had ingrown toenails before, and I've never had one "go bad" again after he fixed it...Luckily, I had a three week checkup scheduled for last Friday.  So I go in, tell him what's up and he said it looked like I developed too much scar tissue.  That it had healed and kept on healing...lol.  Figures, the one time my body works with me and it over does it.  So (without numbing) he yanks out the scare tissue and then uses this chemical to cauterize the area - aka BURN it.  Oh man oh man...it hurt so bad...I wish he would have numbed me.  So that was crying number uno!
    Next, my opposite foot, I asked him to give the seasimoid bone (neighboring seasimoid bone to the one I had removed) a shot of cortisone, because it was hurting so bad (it hasn't improved from my magical shape-up-shoes).  He did, and it hurt, but it wasn't awful.  But then he though it might be beneficial to also shoot the area of my foot that I had the surgery on (when you touch the area it sends this weird electric feeling from the area to the tips of my toes...very weird).  This area, like I told you already, has, since the surgery, been numb and he thought that giving it a shot might "reconnect" the nerves and help get feeling in my toes back.  So I said, okay...and when he stuck the needle in, it was this terrible pain. It sent pain and electric into my toes and I literally dropped my mouth in shock.  It was horrible.  Crying #2 at the doctors that day.  He must have thought I was such a baby...but my god - it was horrible.

    Weight Loss:
    With all the SHIT that has been going on with my feet it was nearly impossible to exercise.  I had gained back the weight I lost (10 lbs) and then some (3 lbs) during the months leading up to my surgery and the month of my surgery.  I went back and forth between being "on" weight watchers and "off".  It wasn't that I was going out and buying cheeseburgers...I just was simply not really paying attention to stuff like vegetables and serving sizes.  I was getting kinda mopey and depressed about all these medical problems and I know that it's not right to make excuses, and I'm not trying to - I 'm just simply explaining what was going on in my head.
    So anyways, I basically just stayed at the weight that I started at...and at the beginning of May I decided, now that my metatarsal bones had started feeling better - it was time to get back on the ball.  I have lost 11 lbs as of Friday of last week...and I'm proud of that.  I've been exercising about 4 days a week and my goal was to lose 30 by June 30th...so I've got 19 left to go!

    June 30th:
    This June 30th is going to be crazy busy.  Curves (my weekend job and my boyfriend's Mom's (Nancy) business) will be closing it's doors on this day.   A few months ago Nancy was asked to renew her contract with Curves (after being open for 5 years and completing her first contract) but the contract that she was sent (400 pages ) was an awful deal.  Curves Corporate would make MORE money off of her if she were to fail than if she were to succeed.  If she were to have to close her doors after signing the contract she would have to pay a minimum of $32,000 ...it was just a REALLY BAD deal.  So Nancy could not financially afford to take that risk and has to close.  She and the rest of the family was really upset about this, but they knew it had to be done.  I think the saddest part of this was that the Burke's lost their house in the deal.  They had financed their house with the business and couldn't afford to take the house back out.  So they moved back into their old house (On Clayton) which they had been renting out.  It was really sad going from this big beautiful house that Larry (Adam's dad) had built with this big yard with the Texas pond to this little house with no yard in the middle of town.  I felt so horrible for his family and I even played the lottery, hoping to win money to get the house back for them.   They've had to do a lot of work to "re-vamp" the Clayton House because the renters really f'd it up (there was smoke stains and a TON of cigarette burns in the carpet).  So, on June 30th I will be calling off work at Minuteman Press to go show my support at Curves and I bought Nancy a shirt that says:    Muérdeme Curves! (which means Bite me Curves!).   I want her to leave Curves knowing that it was a good part of her life and to not only think of these past few crummy months.
    ALSO on June 30th - Eclipse is OUT!!!  Yeah, I LOVE the Twilight series and the movies, and I will be seeing the movie at around 1 o'clock I believe.   Then after the movie, me, my sister Jennifer and her friend Brittany are going to go see Michael Buble in Concert!!!!   I really think this day is going to be WONDERFUL!!!

    WORK:
    Since Brandon had left in October, Laura, my boss Tim's wife, has started working at Minuteman Press.  I basically took over what Brandon did and Laura was supposed to take over what I did.  However, Laura is an interesting specimen.
    1) She does not want to work at Minuteman.
    • When the phone rings, she waits until, at least three rings to see if I'm going to pick it up
    • When someone walks in, she waits a good minute before acknowledging them (hoping that I either do it or Tim will).
    • She doesn't print anything, even if it's as easy as hitting print with the number of copies in a word document...she leaves it for me to do.
    • The computer she uses also receives "general contact" emails (like inquires from the website) and instead of reading the email and asking Tim or I about it...she will leave it in the inbox and ignore it. This is so much fun when a customer calls a week later asking why we hadn't replied to/printed their job.
    • She will stay home at EVERY possible moment.  She stays home every time her kids have a day off of school or when they are sick (I know this might sounds kinda heartless...but their youngest (3) gets sick, like, every other week and each time she gets sick Laura takes off, like, 2 days) AND she recently didn't come to work because she had to "clean the house for a party"  (If I called Tim and said that he'd laugh in my face....)
    2) She makes my job harder than it needs to be.
    • She jobs/work-orders things and if it's a reorder, instead of making sure we have it, she just puts it into the "to-be printed" pile.  I can't tell you how many times I go to print something (because they needed it that day) and found out we've lost the file/don't have a sample of it and have to then rush to recreate the file and proof it and go through all of that. (they had a computer crash a few months before I started working there (2 years ago) and lost a lot of files - so not having a file that we printed before is VERY common)
    • She does not empty out "done" work boxes and file them in a timely manner.  We put every job we get into it's own thin green box, and we only have so many...so when she doesn't empty them out, we can't put new jobs into them.  It really backs up the orders.
    • She'll sometimes try to "help me out" by doing a business card - but since she has no graphic design education/experience it looks very "plain Jane" and boring.
    • OR she's try to "help me out" by printed said business card and will ask me HOW to print it...so then I have to STOP what I'm doing to print whatever it is she's doing.
    • She messes up A LOT of stuff (I try not to judge on this one...because I used to mess up a lot of stuff) but it's like she doesn't TRY to learn how to do it correctly.
    3) The Whole "Married Couple" both being at the same Business Thing:
    • I'm not sure if you've ever had two bosses...of whom were married to each other, but it really sucks.  Not only do they fight/yell at each other in front of you, but it's gone as far as Laura "leaving" work because Tim doesn't "appreciate her" and then well...now there is no one to answer the phone/make copies and of course it's right when I should be going on lunch break, so then I have to wait another HOUR until she comes back to work (like an ADULT)
    • WHEN Laura messes up stuff, Tim doesn't do anything to correct it because he doesn't want to either hurt her feelings or cause problems at home...THIS is not a progressive move.
    4) She CROSSES the line (by like, a mile)
    • She has made comments about MY weight (for a while there it was EVERY single day (I'm not exaggerating) - until I said something to Doug (the only other worker there) and he said something to her about it for me)
    • She has made comments about MY FAMILY'S weight (I was literally seething when she said something about my mom  )
    • She talks to me about personal stuff about her and Tim (I'm sorry but I don't really want the mental picture of Tim (MY BOSS) having sex)
    • She talks to me about personal stuff about her (and how she feels for another man) which puts me in a BAD situation
    On top of all this...I feel that she:
    • Is a bad parent (she yells at her kids ALL the time, curses around them, and has made comments like, "I won't care when he goes to college" about her oldest)
    • She totally stiffed Adam and I when we babysat (she gave us $30 for 4 1/2 hours with THREE kids) (Tim had given us $60 for the same amount of time a few months prior)
    • She thinks her shit don't stink because she's skinny.  Hey hun, ya might be skinny but when you wear your pants up to your belly-button, I'm gonna be 100 lbs heavier and still gonna look hotter than you
    • She is temperamental (she really does just kinda fly off the handle), and
    • She complains about everything...she was whining about having to work and then go home and cook - um...somehow the rest of the women out there manage it...(including myself)
    Soooooooooo...I think it's obvious I don't really care too much for Laura...
    However, all this aside I do feel that when she is not there is it really impossible to get anything done.  This is because I'm constantly answering the phone and having to get up to help the people coming in for copies.  So when Laura declared that shew as taking the ENTIRE summer off (because the kids are out of school ), I became a little peeved.   Because Tim is letting her do this and doesn't seem to care that this will really make it harder on me to get ANYTHING done.  So as time creeps closer and closer to summer, I become more and more sick to my stomach thinking about how late I'm going to have to stay after in order to get my shit done. (and I'm already staying a half and hour over (6 o'clock!) ) sigh

    So that's a lovely update on my life - hope that holds ya over until next time I mosey on here!

  • Life Update

    So it's been awhile since I've posted on here.  It's either because no one's on here anymore...or that really not that much goes on in my day-to-day life. [probably both]

    WORK: (because that's all I seem to be doing )
    Minuteman Press- Brandon, the other graphic designer at Minuteman, had his last day on Oct. 23.  He's going to be designing for a Health and Wellness magazine around central Ohio.  I was really sad that Brandon was leaving, because he's an awesome guy, and he has helped me in many ways (not just at work).  This however has opened up an opportunity for me to be able to focus on more graphic design stuff at work (rather than making copies for walk-in customers, and answering the phone).  So the past two weeks at work have been a roller coaster.  We've been so busy and I've had so much stuff to do...but in all honesty, when I come home from work now, I'm much happier and I don't feel like my life is such a waste anymore.  And yesterday, Laura (one of my bosses) asked if Tim (my other boss (her husband)) had talked to me about a raise, since I was taking on more responsibility.  I said no, and she gave me an evaluation to fill out for a review.  (We're supposed to get a annual review after a year - and it never happened).  Soooooo things are looking up at Minuteman Press!
    Curves- (which is where I'm typing this at) has been wearing on me lately.  After 45 hours at Minuteman, I have to get up at 6am (***side note*** see bottom of this entry) to drive a half hour to work for 4½ hours.  Every day that I work, there are old ladies complaining about the parking at the new curves and just about life in general.  It’s just getting increasingly hard for me to desire to go to work on Saturday.  It’s the same old small talk, same old complaints, and I would REALLY enjoy having another day to myself.  I have my Sunday’s,  but lately I’ve been having to go do something or visit someone on Sunday’s…leaving me no day off .  I’ve been thinking about leaving, but I just want to make sure somebody else will be able to cover this shift because I don’t want to make Nancy work anymore hours than she already does.
    Freelance Work- I've been working on a book for the Licking County Bicentennial Commission.  It is entitled: Journey Through 200 Years: Vintage Vignettes from Licking County, Ohio.  It is a collection of articles that were published throughout 2008 to help celebrate the bicentennial of Licking County, Ohio. They were written by various local historians, and appeared in the Newark Advocate and the paper called This Week Licking County (from the Columbus Dispatch), as well as on internet sites for WCLT Radio and the Licking County Bicentennial commission itself.  The idea around the layout of the book is to have it look and read like a short story (since it is a collection of short stories).  So I went the route of an "illuminated manuscript" with a large artistic drop cap, called an initium, starting each story (a boxed in large letter with varying images derived from each story's content).  The stories have been divided into 15 different chapters/sections.  For each chapter/section the color is different - the color of the side art, flourishes framing each photo used, and the color of     the text used in the story titles and drop caps.  Adam, has contributed a lot to this project.  He has done the design and layout for the outside cover/back and also drew all of the images used in the initiums for each story.  A big THANKS! goes out to him for all of his help!  The book is just about done and should be ready for purchase this Christmas!

    Events:

    Three weeks ago my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins came down to Newark for us to take some Fall Family Photos of them.  They turned out really awesome (more pictures on facebook)

    2 weeks ago, Adam and I went to the zoo – we drove all the way there and it was sprinkling.  We paid for parking, got a good spot, got out of the car and were greeted with FREEZING wind!  Adam got out the umbrella for the rain but it was blowing around.  We decided not to waste the tickets to the zoo on a day like that.  So we left and we and saw The Invention of Lying (which was pretty funny).


    Last weekend was Trick-or-Treat at my Gpa’s house in Delaware.  Adam and I actually had costumes.  We were Adam and Evil (lol)  We had Dave, Sara, and Jae over to the apt and we drank and watched AWESOME Halloween movies like, Killer Baby and Trick or Treat…lol

    Today (after work) Adam and I are driving up to Portsmouth to visit my darling Charlotte!  I miss her soooo soooo much.

    Next Weekend my sister is moving into her first house. It’s this GIANT 2 story house with a basement too!  2 car garage, jacuzi bathtubs, 3 bathrooms, double sink and walk in closet in the master bedroom.  3 bedrooms plus a loft area upstairs.  Fenced in backyard with a big patio area.  It’s awesome!  I’ll make sure to post a few pictures once she gets all settled.

    So that’s pretty much it…till next month….chow!

    ***(the sidenote)***So today I wake up at 6:15 for work...really tired....and went to take my shower. I look out of the shower curtain to see how I'm doing on time and I see that it's 5:35am. What??? So when I get out I check my phone...and sure enough it's 5-something in the morning! My stupid alarm clock has a date setting on it, and it automatically fixes itself for daylight savings time....the bad thing was...it's date was set in March so it set itself back while I was sleeping   grrrr

  • My Phone

    Just letting you guys know that my phone isn’t working, and will be going straight to voicemail until this evening (hopefully only that).

    So, as you know, I’ve been dying for a new phone and have been having issues with my phones for about a year now. I had a razor, and it sucked...couldn't keep a charge work crap...then it started shutting off and the screen was freezing.  So I went to Verizon a few months ago and was like, when is my upgrade, because this phone is a POS.  So they said November, and I couldn't have one.  I'm like, okay well what do you have that's cheap?  So they give me this little blue phone...and I had to pay $30 for it....That night the phone starts turning off, like after I shut it at the end of a phone call.  I called and said something they said that there was nothing they could do and I couldn't have a refund.  >:|  So I said, can you at least give me my razor back?  So they did, and it started getting EVEN worse and I sent out a plea over facebook.  My Aunt, Gina...came to my rescue with a sleek silver phone that had an Extra battery.  So then I got that phone, and it worked out pretty nice...but it was like the battery was too much for it.  The phone gets really hot sometimes and it doesn't last more than a day for charge.

    So, now that it’s November, I was finally able to get an upgrade.  So, I went to get a new phone last night and decided on the free red Crazer phone (after asking a lot of questions about the Razor's little brother, making sure this phone wouldn't be a POS).  The guy couldn’t get it to activate, so after he spent 20 minutes on hold with Verizon he called his friend at another store who then walked him through it, but it still didn’t work.  The guy then decided that it “must be the phone”.  He says sorry and that he’ll have a new phone shipped overnight for me to get the next day, and that he’d give me my car-charger for free and some other stuff for free.

    So at 8 o’clock (when they close), after a half hour of waiting (with groceries in the car), I leave the store – empty handed.  I go to make a call on my phone and it says “Your mobile number is not active or inactive” and won’t let me make or receive ANY calls.

    Sigh.  So not only did I not get a new phone, but my current phone is useless.

    I have crap luck.

  • A week since the last entry...

    I wish I could find a font color that would both be legible and match this background.  Seems like nothing works.

    So I've lost 2 lbs so far. Which I was kinda mopey about at first, but then I was like, think of 2 lbs of hamburger meat at the store...that's not on YOU anymore.  That made me   I'm currently munching on chocolate quakes...which are MY favorite quakes flavor.  I also like the caramel ones.  I'd like to try the Ranch ones, but I don't want to have to buy a big bag (in case they suck).  Anybody out there tried them?

    I'm at Curves again...there are currently 3 ladies here working out.  One of the ladies is Maxine...and normally I'll just stay behind the desk if somebody of the floor is a big talker (like Maxine)...because then there is already a conversation going...I'm not needed

    Last night I went with Adam, Kyle, Kyle's 2 friends both named Kevin, and Mindi (Adam's cousin) to Easton to see a movie - District 9.  Adam paid for me and I didn't have to drive...so it was a good night...  The movie was alright, but not really my type of movie.  Mindi got a little motion sickness, and I had to look away from the screen a few times (it's halfway filmed like Cloverfield, Blair Witch - Documentary type movie).  The boys all seemed to enjoy it.  I want to see the Time Traveler's Wife.  Maybe I'll go see it this weekend...

    Today is my appointment at the "girl-doctor" about my birth control.  Basically I have to drive an hour, to TALK to someone about why the EFF my birth control isn't working yet again.  Honestly, I'm going to ask them to give me a list of the birth control I've tried already.  Imagine being on birth control almost 7 years (since I was 15ish) and STILL not having one that works with your body.  Pain in my ass.  Seriously.

    I've got so many bills sitting on my counter right now. The only positive thing  is that we get $200 off are rent this coming month for signing on for another year with out apartment.

    As for this week.  Adam's going to be at his mom's pretty much the whole week.  But we've made some plans so we get to see each other.  Today we both have different doctor's apts, and then we'll go back and visit with his family (from Texas).  Tuesday Night he is spending the night in Newark with me, and Dave is coming over to visit. After I get off work on Wednesday, I'm going over to there house to hang out with the family again.  Thursday, I think Kyle, Adam, and Mindi are coming over to visit the apartment and go swimming.  Friday I'll be by myself, which is fine, cuz' I gotta get some stuff on that book done.  Saturday, I believe is the family's last day there, so I'll probably be over there saying goodbyes...lol.

    Busy weeeeek ahead!

  • Update (finally)

    So I've been...non-existent on xanga lately.  I got busy...with not just the wedding stuff, but with work, family...just life in general.

    I feel that I'm losing myself.  I've been feeling depressed and mopey lately.  I haven't exercised in like...months...which is weird...because I was really into it there for awhile.  I've been feeling like I'm stuck in a rutt, and that my life is going nowhere fast.  Which really bums me out.  I keep thinking something wrong with my birth control or something...that it's making me all bllllahhh...but who knows?  Could just be me...can't always blame shit on other things.

    Work has been up and down.  I try to stay positive but I can't help but feel like I've been wasting my time.  I never get to use my Adobe Products (that I love) and instead I get to half-ass my way through CoralDraw for about 5 mins of the day and the the other 8 hours are spent making 10 cent copies and answering the phone - and yet my job title is "graphic designer".  Freaking depressing.  I didn't go to college to be a receptionist.  I'm stuck because I don't make enough to go back to college, and I'd have to go back to college to get the jobs I want (they require bachelor's degrees which will cost me about $18,000 at the CHEAPEST).  Even my weekend job at Curves...I've been mainly just sitting on my ass behind the desk, checking facebook and my email (which is what I'm doing right now), instead of being out on the circuit talking to the ladies and exercising about 2 times during one shift (which is what I used to do).  I just don't feel like going out there, talking about the same old shit that no one really cares about...I'm not in the mood.  I just want to sit here, think about everything and wait for 12:30 to roll around so I can flip the sign to "closed". Sigh...I'm so depressing.

    Home Life - Jennifer got married last weekend.  Such a beautiful wedding!  I had so much fun...my feet were SOOOOO tired, along with the rest of me, by the end of the weekend.  I love Jen's wedding dress so much.  I had told my mom I wanted to wear it for my wedding and she hasn't forgot I mentioned it...cheapo...lol.  Although I am rethinking that idea, because I'd LOVE to do "Trash the Dress" (pictures of you and the groom in a lake, pond, something like that...ruining the dress...lol)  I love the idea.  It's not like you ever wear the bitch again anyway right?!  My mom thinks I'm retarded.  Adam has been so good to me.  I have no idea how I lucked out to becoming his girlfriend (but I'm so thankful I did).  I dunno how he puts up with me and these crazy moods.  I'm always on his ass about getting a better job...mainly cuz' I want to get the hell out of this place.  I'd love to just move somewhere 2 hours away and start new...just gotta find someone willing to give us, and our (measly) Associates degrees, a chance.

    Me - I'm trying to lose weight...by just eating less and better foods.  Everyone knows that if you look good, you feel good...and I'd love to feel good again.  I'm also growing my hair back out.  I liked it more longer (so did Adam), I just have to make it a point to actually DO something which it when it's that long.  It only starts looking bad if you just let it be all sloppy lookin.  I'm looking forward to my vacation next year to Minnesota.  That is my FAVORITE place on the planet and I'm sure it'll cheer me right up...too bad it's not for year :-/.  I'm working on this book of short stories for the Licking County Bicentenianal Commission.  It'll be done in October...but so far it's looking great.  I'm have a wonderful time (relearning and) using my Adobe products again.  I missed them.  I also am just about done on the 2nd editing of my book and I have started laying out my next book.

  • Hi, I'm Amy. Some people call me Aim, but mainly just Amy. I live in Ohio and unlike most people that live in Ohio I actually don't mind living here. I'm a graphic designer for Minuteman Press. On the weekends, I work at Curves in my hometown. I miss college so much...and I wish I could afford to go back and get my bachelors, and maybe I will...someday. I am in love with my bestest friend and the best man I've ever met in my life...Adam. If you want to find out more...feel free to read my blogs.
