Leap Day 2012

Not much to report on today. Weather is a beautiful 66º according to my desktop weather report. Blue skies, sunny. Makes me want to do yard work. Problem is, Id have to get dressed, go to the house, spend maybe 2 hours, then have to come home and get ready and go to work. Not really worth it :/ So I have the window next to me open as far as it'll go.

Poor bf had to work all day yesterday then all night in Chicago. Got home about 11am. Got 2 hours of sleep, now I have to go wake him to go to his other job cleaning carpets. This new job is more money for him, but I don't really think its worth the loss of sleep, which means loss of health eventually...

Been working on a maille coif (google it!) for a friend's friend. Last night I must have twisted my wrist wrong while working on it because my wrist really hurts this morning. I hate wearing my wrist brace because then my fingertips get numb and cold and its hard to do anything. Ill add a pic of the hood when I get around to it
I mostly do maille jewelry, but my friend at work asked me if I could make a hood (coif) for one of her friends who is into that kind of stuff too. I said sure, although Ive never done anything bigger than my 5 row euro 4-1 choker.

Here is a pair of byzantine earrings I did :)

Yay first post...

Ok, first post in this blog. I don't expect anyone will read this, but hey, I'm putting it out there anyway. A little about me. My name is Jen (not my full name, obviously, but its what I prefer to be called). I'm 26, will be 27 in 2 months. I live in an apartment (not for much longer though!) with my boyfriend Bob, cat BJ and fish. The fish doesn't really have a name, I just call him Fishing *shrug* When our lease is up in this place end of next month, we'll be moving into my moms house and renting it from her. She wont be living there, just us plus the family dog Angel. Until we move in though, Angel will be staying with mom and her fiance Jeff at his house.
I also have 4 sisters, Samantha/Sam, Kelsey/Rai or Raisin, Tiffany/Tiff and Laylah. I also have a stepbrother Chris.
I have 2 part-time jobs, which is good for my wallet, not so good for my health ;) Ill simply refer to them as GR (day job) and M (evening job). At GR I am custodian/cashier and at M I'm a baker.
My hobbies are: reading, computer (games, etc), nature/gardening, jewelry making (chainmaille!) and sleeping :) I also like baking, but the end product is so much more interesting than the getting there so I try not to do it too much lol. Plus its bad for my waistline (I don't think I'm fat, I just don't want to get that way!) :)

So, that's all for tonight. I'm tired and I have to make sure my chili isn't sticking to the pot :/
