I got uplifted!

In so many ways, it has been an uplifting day. Today I ,ailed off my application for the Doctorate of Education program at SFASU. I am nervous and excited. I am still waiting for my GRE scores for my application to be complete. Once those are in the hands of the Graduate school, I have completed my app. Then comes the hard part, interviewing and then either acceptance or rejection. Actually the hard part will be the work but I'll cross that bridge when or if I get there.

Second uplift of the day, moving forward on the bass. Max showed me a new technique watch sounds cool and is super hard. It will take me a lot of practice but I'll get there. It will be good for the band since we are just a bass and guitar. We need a cool sound.

Last uplift of the day is literal. I got two new bras! They fit so well. My bandmate and soul sister, Rocker Wife, is starting a new boutique and I had the privilege of being the first person fitted for a new bra. They are so pretty too! Maybe if I get brave I'll post some before and afters later! :)

#mamavation Monday: DIY armband

So I don't normally talk about crafting and never talk about crafting for the sake of exercise but here goes.

So I went to Best Buy to buy the armband for my Galaxy S3. I done my research, saved my money. I was ready. They were out of them! The dude looked at me and said, well it's the first of the year and everyone has those resolutions to keep. Jackass!

So I came hope so defeated. No armband, no motivation and DH still not ready to join my work-outs. Then I thought to myself, why not make my own? I still have my iPhone 3 armband, just repurpose it, right? I got on YouTube and then wanted to kick my own ass. I found dozens of tutorials on making you own armband from a sock. It is so easy. You take a sock cut off the toe, double it then put your phone in it. That is it! I am using a Babyleg to be more fashionable :). So tip of the blog: make your own armband!

I also got my box of Beanitos! Such a kick ass way to start the week!
