Prepare for action!

One should get back to her reading, before she loses herself entirely!

A wealth of change!

I finagled my way into a new car! I know it seemed so far off when I previously mentioned it, but the motivation to sell once we fixed the compressor was amazing. I listed the Honda online and sold it in less than 24 hours. We put money down on a 2005 Mazda 3 Hatchback, and now I am acquiring credit toward a loan I used to pay it off! Things are moving quickly in the right direction.

School starts in just over a month, and there is so much yet to accomplish. I have been working on putting together a few more photo shoots, which I will eventually share, as well as getting together a small stock of radical vintage to re-open my etsy store with my boyfriend. There are home improvements we need to make before school eats all my time, and precious novels to devour before textbooks consume my eyes. All in all, the new car has helped make headway into these endeavors. I will post a picture shortly, as soon as I manage to locate my digital camera.

In other news, some inspiration for your sleepy Thursday minds! I have been re-introduced to 1960's-80's biker culture via some amazing blogs, and will be linking you to some treasures of fashionable motorcycle mamas and their old men!

And myself on July 4th for good measure. 

"The sangria is gone!"

Rebellion;

Differentiating my free time from my working time, I have found myself amidst piles of clothing, mountains of old schoolwork, and stepping stones of novels and vinyl. I am making far too little money to be in a comfortable place financially, yet I am somehow coming to terms with making more with less. I have cleansed one of my two closets, my dresser, and one suitcase under my bed of projects, tapestries, and fabric remnants. A few days of dyeing, crafting, and sewing have whittled my "to-do" list significantly. Now, a deep cleaning of my actual home itself and of my car and all should be right and well in the world! I am in the market for a new car, and as my stomach turns at prices, I see a new opportunity for myself. With better transportation comes more traveling, more easily tackling goals and hobbies, and better safety and pleasure when driving. We shall see! Now, off to make more money, more clothing, and more enchanting times with new and intelligent femmes.
