it was pissing down rain this morning…it was also snowing in surrey…but maybe thats just cause its surrey…it better not snow here…

im at a loss today…i should be doing work but my ipod died and im letting it charge again…cause drafting sans music is pain staking and i’d rather not let my mind wander cause then it will just get emoed out…

monday mornings mean it back to reality which is by far the most depressing part…not that this weekend was amazing or anything…but lazy sundays hangin out in your pjs and making pasta sauce is just too much fun to give up…

i hate 11:00pm on sunday nights…

BUT ANYWAYS…

im going to the gym tomorrow as a ‘now lets not get fat danielle’ prevention episode…i absolutely hate going but feel so good afterward that its totally worth it…

ha…i told laura i wasnt going to go eat lunch with her but rather work through as to get on track with things…but instead i have totally wasted my time here…oh well…

but i think my ipod o greatness is charged which means i should get back to work…

holla

so the fashion show is in like a month…and im on top of pretty much everything…

however i have decided to add some more to my plate…simply because god forbid i ever do anything simple and not over the top…

it must be in my blood – see the ‘cooking 12 huge dishes for a dinner party of 4′ hand book for more understanding…

i have to send out media kits next week and have decided to do everything completely by hand…aside from printing out the letters and what not that go inside…

i have also decided that at the fashion show on the table i get to display my portfolio and what not…i am going to put out some nice little take away gifts as a way to draw people to my section..

what does this all mean?

well it means that i have to make…

1. 100 business cards by hand – which involves two kinds of paper, fabrics, and labels…
2. key chains (my little give away gift) – which involved drawing on and shrinking this special plastic, then attaching it with beads to a key ring – except i dont know exactly how many im going to make…cause seriously its going to take me a while and i dont know how much time i get to a lot to that…
3. photoshop, print, and label pictures from my photo shoot to go into my media kits – photos which i still need to post on here too…
4. have someone proof read the final content of my media kit so it can be sent out…
5. hand make all the actual folders for the media kit – i hope i have enough fabric *cringe*
6. create a page of coloured flats to go into my media kit – only if i have time tho…
7. actually finishing my portfolio and scanning this massive project on to my computer so i can make it pretty then print it and put it in my portfolio…
8. THEN stick everything i just talked about onto my line website so that it can be viewed by potential employers and they can hire me and love me…

yes…so…umm…yea i have a lot to do…and i have to finish my final garment for the fashion show…and my outfit for the fashion show…

wow…wow…

welllllll the media kits are due Wednesday and everything else is due on the 28th of march…so i should be gettener all done by then…

HOPEFULLY!

ehh

the canucks won last night even with out luongo in net…and god knows there were enough skeptics out there that thought it wasnt going to happen…and really…it almost didnt…but in watching the game/highlights thoughts began to accumulate in my head…

i understand that sports is clearly important in some mens lives…

i understand it…i accept it…i deal with it…and in all honesty i do pretty well at it…

i have never watched so many hockey games in my entire life as i have this current season…and honesty i do enjoy it…

and i have been very good at it too…i rarely talking during play, i never walk in front of the tv, and i always bring beer back from the fridge…not to mention the numerous hockey parties i have organized and prepared food for…

and through my understanding of this obsession men have with sports i let things slide…like coming home from a nice fancy dinner and the first thing they do is turn on the tv to watch all the highlights…thats fine…cause i understand that it makes them happy and having them happy makes me happy… and highlights aren’t always all the bad…but only to a certain point…

for example…

7 – 10:00pm – we watch the game…therefore we see every thine once…fine

10:00pm – now its time to watch all the sports shows and highlights – ok we see the important parts over…still ok…

10:30pm – now its time to watch the next installment of sports shows and highlights – basically the exact same thing we just saw…once more…still on the ok side cause it really drives home the parts that are important…

11:00 – the THIRD installment of sports shows and highlights – HONESTLY ITS THE EXACT SAME THING WE JUST SPEND 4 HOURS WATCHING!!! by this point i can predict everything thats going to happen and everything the announcer is going to say…so why oh why do we have to watch it YET AGAIN…

that is the only part in the whole sports watching process that i just dont understand…you’ve seen the game itself…you’ve see two entire shows dedicated to highlights…which therefore means you know everything about the game you JUST watched…as well as every other game in that was played that night…SO WHY do we have to watch it again?????????

i have patients for a lot of things…but watching the same sports highlights three times in a row…and i just blow a gasket…

i try…but i just dont understand why men need to watch the same thing so many times in a row…
