On to New Beginnings!!!

Hello everybody!! Welp, it's a brand new semester and I'm already busier than a bee that works a busy schedule!! *giggles* This semester I'm working on obtaining a internship and it's a lot harder to get one than I thought. Calling, emailing, interviews and jumping through hoops just to get a least one!!!! *whew* Anyhoo, I have 2 other classes that haven't gotten too crazy just yet, but then again...it has only been a week! *yikes* And then this coming up Wednesday I have battle with the DMV *horror movie scream* and here in North Carolina, you have to get your car inspected EVERY TIME you renew your tags!! *ugh*. And of course I still have to work. A girl has to get paid...unless someone would love to pay bills for me. *bats eyelashes*.

*takes deep breath*

I think the only reason I'm overwhelmed is because I seem to be more active in my life rather than observing my life...if that makes any sense. I will admit that I do enjoy taking the easy way out of situations, but I'm starting to understand that all the dreams,goals and other good stuff that I want to happen in my life, won't come from me being lazy and staying at home all day; But from me actually putting forth some effort into my future. Some old habits have popped up and are trying to keep me from my greatness, but with a lot of will-power, I overcame the old urge to procrastinate, and completed my homework waaay ahead of time instead of the last minute. *pats self on the back*

So, on my agenda this week, I will get a list of more possible organizations for an internship, a Day planner, my passport, my car renewed aaaand my homework! *whew* But never fear, the new self-confident Letti is here!! *puts on cape and flies through the ceiling*

Coldplay Rocks!!!

Good Evening!!! Tonight I would love to express the love that I have for one of my favorite bands ever.....COLDPLAY!!!! I will start off by telling you all how I came to love and appreciate this band....

My obsession with this band started one night I was watching television and this iphone/apple...*shrugs*...commercial came on. I actually enjoy commercials because a lot of them are pretty entertaining. Anyhoo, all of a sudden, Viva La Vida (I didn't know the title of the song at the time) starts to play on the commercial...something inside of me just LOVES that song!! Of course I logged on to Youtube to figure out who sings that song and what it was called!! EUREKA!!! I found out the song was called Viva La Vida and it was by this band named Coldplay..hmmm...Well eventually I became obsessed with Viva La Vida and decided to listen to other Coldplay songs...then it was Yellow..followed by Clocks, Fix You, In my Place, Talk, The Scientist and then soon I had ALL of their cds on repeat in my car!!! *Takes a deep breath*

Moving along, what makes everything even more exciting at the time, they were having a tour right here in the USA!!! WHOOOOHOOOO!! But the closet city to me was Atlanta, GA..road trip anyone?? The concert was awesome and me and one of really good friends had sooo much fun!!! *fast forwards about 6 months later* They extended their tour and are now coming to Charlotte!!! *squeals* Of course I just haaad to go!! And me and my friend enjoyed another awesome Coldplay concert, this time in our hometown!

The reason why I looove them soo much is because I enjoy the mellow tones of their songs and the whimsical lyrics that sounds like its telling a story ( I love stories). *sigh* So yea, Coldplay is awesome!!

3 new sets of beads to add to my collection. I'm really starting to get the hang of it!!













I can't wait to get some more moonstones and some Jade beads for the waist beads I'm making for my best friend and mom. ^_^

Feelin' Crafty

Lately, I've been in the "craft making" mood and decided to make some waist beads!! I actually been wanting to make some for a looong time, which my co-worker reminded me that I've been wanting to make some for a whole YEAR! Yikes!! Well, I'm glad I actually put my thoughts into action.

Here is my first set ever!!!



I'm really proud of it too! It didn't take long to make and I loooove they way it came out!



I got the little seed beads and the super cute rose magnetic clasp from Hobby Lobby, the wire was laying around the house (weird) and the moonstone beads I got from this awesome bead store called BeadLush.

My next strand of beads is going to be made with the snowflake obsidian beads that I also purchased, so stay tuned for that!

UPDATE: Dreams!!!

Ooook!! So, I said I will start writing down my dreams again and I have. (Kinda, sorta) I forget to do it on the mornings where I'm too busy getting ready for work. Anyhoo, from what I have written in my journal (thats it in the picture above) and what I remember from the one's that I didn't written down, the main theme I"m noticing from my dreams is the ocean. Or a BIG body of water. Now, from my mom's friend who does dream interpretations sometimes, she said that water can sometimes represent water, but in this case I don't think the water in my dream means trouble.

I went to dreammoods.com, and typed in "Ocean" and it says:

Ocean
To see an ocean in your dream, represents the state of your emotions and feelings. It is indicative of spiritual refreshment, tranquility and renewal. Alternatively, the dream means that you are feeling empowered and unhindered. You have a positive outlook in life and are not limited by anything. If you are sailing across the ocean, then it signifies new found freedom and independence. You are showing great courage.

Hmmm....now I can definitely relate to this, because I have been feeling very "at peace with myself" lately. So, that could be the reason why I have sooo many dreams with the ocean or BIG bodies of water in it.

I wonder what happens if I actually jumped in it....(stay tuned)
