Reflections...

As I kissed Tad at midnight last year, under the fireworks at Universal Studios, I had high hopes for the upcoming year, and it was a crazy one indeed...

Cons:

• Got laid off
• Weight loss as of last year = a meager 3 pounds
• Had to live in horrible apartment complex with monkeys running the place taking all my money at every opportunity
• Too many computer viruses
• A certain marriage...
• Couldn't afford to go to Jersey many times
• Endless drama and hard times affecting my family and friends that spill over onto me! lol
• Almost moved into a house, but other parties let us down... even tho i kinda knew it wasnt gonna work out the whole time.
• Did not get to spend Christmas with my family for the first time ever

So now lets end on a good note :-)

Pros:

• Unemployment money
• Got a new smart phone
• Worked on my first real storyboarding job for a feature film
• Got to go to Jersey for my birthday and had some great times, especially with my mom and liz
• Liz and Colleen came to visit me in FL
• Won $200 on a scratch off loto ticket
• Improved on my art somewhat
• Got to eat monster munch for the first time in years!
• Christmas at Disney World!!!

This year I will work hard to complete the following goals...

RESOLUTIONS:

•  Lose 50 pounds (crosses fingers)
• Get amazingly good at character design and animation
• Find the time and money to travel at least once to NJ
• Save money to move to CA
• Get a job actually in my industry, and not settle for something just to pay the bills
• Keep being awesome

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

General Update

So i know my blog might not be that popular or anything, but i do appreciate the people who do read it :-) hopefully i can figure out what people want to see here and make it a little more interesting :-)

Anywho, we are finally settled into our new apartment, for the most part. there is still some cleaning up to do. Mostly because we are so cramped and i dont have the space i used to for everything. but the neighborhood is so much more peaceful, it  kinda makes up for it a little.

I have been so stressed lately that some slight medical issues arose and i took a few days off my job hunt and demo reel to unwind.Now i have alot of work to catch up on eep!

My etsy sales were good for a while, but now things have quieted down. I dont seem to get much traffic unless im in the chat rooms of forums that day. its frustrating since iv spent many hours trying to perfect my shop and tags... i guess im just waiting for my "big break"

anywho, i got work to do! ill try to update this more regulary. <3 peace

HARRY POTTER TODAY!!!!

So today is a day of good luck, not only did unemployment finally send me some of the money they have been withholding from me, but i am also going to go see harry potter movie today! squeeee!
In my fangirl state i drew this doodle gone array, i spent way too much time on it but... oh well!

We are mooooved

So we just moved into our new place. Because of my issues with unemployment we had to downsize from a 2 bedroom to a 1 and so things are a little cramp right now, but once we are done unpacking and setting up i think it will be more cozy. i got to get things in order now, but ill update soon.
