Friday 7 Quick Takes (vol 127)1.It’s already the last week of the month which means it’s no topic week on Totes Awesome Channel! Youtube Link 2. As I mentioned in the vlog, I’m so excited about making napkins this weekend with my mom. One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to complete 10 sewing/learning projects. My mom once gave me her old sewing machine and within the first attempt to use it without her guidance, I mangled the thread while trying to thread the machine! I had to take it back to Houston and both my parents took turns trying to unravel my mess and free the sewing machine. I thought if I make 6 sets of napkins and make myself thread the machine 6 separate times, the redundancy of the tasks will help me really learn how to thread. As you can see, I’m all about baby steps. 3.I had a really busy couple of weeks at work and worked longer hours this week, so my reading time has dramatically decreased. Nonetheless, here’s what circulating on my nightstand. Currently reading: 4.

I love my weekends in Houston! 5.As I’m getting older, my body is going through the first of the aging changes. It used to be I eat all the junk I want and then go to bed and then the food baby would magically disappear when I wake up. This hasn’t been the case in the past few months. It also used to be I can go on 3-4 hours of sleep a night but lately if I don’t get at least 6 hours of sleep, I’m sleeping through my alarm! It used to be I never got heartburn! I’ve been warned these things will happen but now that they’re here, it is a bit of a depressing lifestyle shock. 6.Have you seen this one?  I was making cabbage stir fried with eggs. He was my sous chef. 7.This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ 46 more days to Paris, buying a museum pass for Paris! ♥ making it through my first work presentation ♥ payday ♥ seeing my student debt decrease ♥ Bob making his first canine friend from the internet ♥ trying out the Cool Ranch Doritos taco from Taco Bell ♥ chats with my dad while I sit in traffic ♥ scrumptious sweet potato gnocchi from a food trailer ♥ introducing Selina & Dawn to their first banh mis ♥ celebrating a friend’s birthday and meeting her fun friends ♥ date night at the arcade
