Cold Front in Texas
We had a cold front today. The high was in the low 70's. I do have to admit that I was pretty chilly today. I might be turining into a Texan...I don't know. ;-)
Anyway, today was a pretty exciting day! During my lunch break I went to the Memory Depot Store right near my work, so I could buy some scrapbooking materials. My cutters from Ebay came in the mail yesterday, so I wanted to get a new album and some stamps to enhance my scrapbooking expierence :-). I ended up finding some cool alphabet stamps, cards so I can make my own homemade cards, and these cute 3D stickers with a Texas theme, and another package with an Arizona Theme. I can officially start scapbooking our Grand Canyon trip, and start my Life in Texas book! :-)
When I was at the check out, I met this lady who was in visiting the girls that work at the store...She was really friendly, so we started talking and I told her how I was new to scrapbooking and new to Texas, and she insisted that I sign up for some of the classes that they offer at the store! She was so nice, and so excited, and she kept saying she was so glad that she met me, and I needed to take these classes with her, and to join the Die Cutters Club. It's so neat. I'm so excited! I went back to work and talked to Stephanie, and she sounded REALLY interested! It's $18 for a full year. You meet the first wednesday of every month, and they teach you something. Then you can come in anytime throughout the month and use their die cutting machine for free. You just have to provide yourself your own paper. Then there's this Cards that Glitter and Shine class on November 4th, that I want to take. You make homemade cards with glitter and do Glitter embossments. Anyway it sounds AWESOME. I'm so psyched.
Tonight for dinner, I went to Tracy and Ozan's to eat and study turkish. It went really well. Tracy and I flew through our homework, and spent the rest of the night quizzing each other, trying to ask questions and answer back and forth. (Which is hard for two people that know barely anything). Once Izel fell asleep, Ozan sat with us for the last hour or so, and quizzed us in Turkish too. It was awesome. He told us that he was surprised, because he didn't think we were as far along as we were! :-) And of course I made him say: "Cok Iyi Beth! Cok Iyi Tracy" all night long ;-)
I also did a little research, because I love my Salsa dance lessons so much...and found out that there's a dance studio right near my apartment, where you can buy a month long memebership for really cheap and go to Unlimited Group classes. They have salsa, marengue, swing, tengo, country two step, all sorts of dances. If I did that in addition to my Salsa lessons, Turkish lessons, Turkish Study sessions, and Scrapbooking/Card making lessons, then I'd have enough stuff going on every night of the week and weekend, that I wouldn't have time to be lonely! And to be honest, this week I haven't felt lonely at all. I've been busy all week and I absolutly love it! :-))))
