Remember Takato, you promised!!!

My first serious water color painting. I say that because I’m sure I water colored when I was younger, but I had no idea what I was doing.

Painting I made recently. I’m still learning how to create more realistic art.

My orange and white kitty passed away last year, so this is sort of like an homage to her.

I have an interesting story to share. Dad and I went on a 4 mile walk today. I found this bee laying in the road. I put my stick down to it and it crawled up onto it. The bee walked with me about 3.85 miles. When it would fall off, I’d reach down and it would crawl back on. When we were almost home, he fell off in the grass and wouldn’t crawl back on, so I left him in the grass. I’m not sure what was wrong with him, but I hope he gets better.

Well, it is currently Friday night/Saturday morning. I need to go to sleep, but I’m still working on laundry. My brain is still running, so I figured I would take the time to start writing this post. I had the idea a few days ago that maybe I could start doing weekly/monthly updates on my blog. Along with my recent endeavors on the creative aspect, I think it would be cool to see how I’m doing mentally and physically as well.

I thought I was going to be unemployed this summer. Turns out, I’m not. I was recruited to be a sub for the summer school program. I’ve already worked three days this week. It’s pretty great because I can work when I want and can still take time off to relax and travel if I want. Also, no lesson plans! It’s been pretty fun so far. I’ve been in elementary school, which is super different from high school in a lot of ways. I have had fun though, just super tired. Just today I’ve probably sung part of the Little Einstein’s theme song a good 40 times.

If you’ve been around me for a while, you would be somewhat aware of my weight loss journey. Long story short, I have lost around 70 pounds over the last few years. Over the past two, I have plateaued. I still want to lose about 20ish more pounds. A couple of weeks ago, I was at a follow-up appointment with my allergy and asthma doctor. Conveniently, he also has his master's in nutrition. Knowing this, I asked him what I should do. Since then, I’ve been counting calories, which isn’t as hard as I remember when I tried it before. I’ve also picked up running, which I’ve come to enjoy and that’s something I never thought I’d say. I even purchased a treadmill for days when I can’t make it to the outdoor track. It’s been challenging, but it’s a challenge I enjoy. Even though my doctor told me how to lose the remaining weight, he also told me he was proud of me for the work that I’ve already done. It’s not easy and I still struggle with my body image daily. Hearing someone tell you that they are proud of you is such a help and will never go unappreciated. Also, if you are reading this and are thinking about trying to lose weight, please go and talk to a professional. I have read a bunch of techniques on the internet that did not work for me. Everyone is different and their bodies have different needs.

Hello everyone! My “internet journey” if you will started a little over 3 years ago on YouTube. After I graduated college, I started posting videos of myself playing music as well as a plethora of other things. I haven’t posted in awhile, but I’m hoping to get come videos up now that I have more free time. If you’d like to see the musical side of me, this would be the best place to start.

hello and welcome to my tumblr! This is a website where I post about all of my hobbies. Trust me, I have a ton.

During the school year, I am a teacher. Considering it is currently summer when I’m updating this blog, I am currently unemployed. I have decided to try to do a few things and make myself some money here and there, and that will help me pay my car payment.

I have recently gotten into drawing and making custom greeting cards. Please send me a message and we can talk about designing one for your special day! $5

I will also do old photo restorations! I am still new to this and learning new techniques, but message me and we will talk!

I am also learning more and more about graphic design, so if you have an idea, send it my way and I’ll see what I can do.

I will also consider doing private music lessons. I have experience in percussion and could teach drum set, snare, xylophone, and glockenspiel (bells) - rate is negotiable.

I also have my bachelor's degree in music. I am open to doing audio and video sessions. please contact me for more information.

Also, etsy shop coming soon. :)
