Glitter is Good for the Soul

I've been ordered to get back to blogging. I asked what kind of blogging and I didn't get an answer. I'm sure it's more than just a number and then one sentence.  So I will update y'all with my lifting and life from the past whenever.  this weekend I was in some need of glitter and sunshine.  I found a few blogs that talked about glitter-izing a pair of ballet flats.  it looked fun. simple. easy. cheap. and produced fantastic results.  SO I started out with a brown pair of flats... and started layering the mod podge and glitter mixture, waiting for it to dry and doing it 3 or 4 more times... here's the process...

Both shoes with a few layers of glitter
(the white is the wet mod podge)

 both.

Once the shoes were done... or maybe in the process of drying and shellacking the shoes I needed MORE glitter and I did my nails.  The first round of paint and glitter was "my significant other color" and silver sparkles... then I went with "india mood for love" and purple sparkles!
 I liked the pink better...
 Shoes and nails all together and all sparkled and glitter... made my soul happy! :) And I also made some letters (with glitter) for the Y.  I had glitter everywhere! I loved it. And it helped pass the time and lift my mood.

Lifting has been a little touchy the last few weeks.  I've been getting more hours at the Y and going to more meetings so I can step into a full time position (that allows time for training) and be in charge of a site and group of kids.  Right now I'm just waiting...

This might be important to know.. I have a meet in 3 days. oops. I don't ever pay attention to the meets and when they are until.. ummm pretty much after weigh-ins and when I start warming up.  Is that weird? I kind of feel weird that I don't get excited or nervous or pumped up(?) but when I get in the zone at the meet) I stay there and I'm focused and I perform well and more often than not I rise to the challenge and competition drives me on.  So for 3 or 4 more days I just relax and not realize there's a meet. :) Good thing I got that out of the way!

I have RDLs tomorrow and I'm super pumped.  Gotta cook my chicken between practice and work and work.  Tomorrow is my supa long day. so excited. get money get paid.
