buttons and braids



"Little things console us because little things afflict us"
So true.

I have found myself to always be a worrier. I stress out very easily, often over little things that I shouldn't. I'm trying to get better, in fact, I think I have improved a little over the past couple of years. Well, tomorrow is my wisdom teeth surgery. I have been so stressed about it all week. Today has been even worse.... I am so nervous. WHY though.... everyone gets their wisdom teeth out and I KNOW that I'll be fine.

Well today, instead of doing anything big for the 4th, I just spent time with my parents. My mom and I ended up going to Joanns to get some craft supplies. I have been getting a lot of compliments on my button bracelet, so I decided that this week while I am laying around I am going to start making them for people : ] I of course also found numerous other beads and things for bracelets and necklaces that I'll probably make for myself. I just love crafts. After all of my button bracelets, I'll probably move on to attempting to make some headbands.

Anywho, I realized that little things as simple as beads and images of upcoming braided headbands in the near future really consoled me today. I can't wait to start my crafting projects while I have the week off : ]

I can't believe how fast this summer is going by. Sometimes I am sad about that, but other times I just want summer to be over so I can be back in school and back with friends again. Tomorrow is the first 4th of July that I will not be spending with my best friend, Melissa, in a long, long time. The 4th is kind of "our holiday" and I will dearly miss spending it with her. Widsom teeth come out on Monday, so I am anticipating being out of commission for a while. I'm not looking forward to it at all, in fact I'm rather nervous. BUT I am looking forward to laying around and eating ice cream for a couple of days, I haven't really gotten to do that yet this summer : ]
