So it seems like I've been gone for a bit. Maybe not that long. My computer got a virus and I wasn't able to get it anywhere for a couple days and then it took the guys a while to fix it. But I finally have it back now. I recently got a new diaper pattern. I bought the Rainy Days diaper pattern on a BSOT message board. I've only made on diaper from the pattern so far but I love it. Both of my boys wear the same size setting. It is just a great diaper. I'm possibly going to be getting the Darling Diapers Unlimited soon. We'll see.
Last we I submitted the last things that was needed for my college application. I recieved an email saying the got my application and everything else. Now I'm just waiting for a phone call or whatever saying I can start : )
I'm hoping I get accept to start in January. I really really hope so. I've been looking at classes and such and if I get accepted, I'll probably only start with 3 or so classes. A couple are ones that I'm required to take before other ones.
I think that's about it for now.

Snap Pliers!
So I've been wanting snap pliers since I joined <A HREF=http://diaperdivas.proboards.com/index.cgi>diaper sewing divas</A>. I like snapped diapers. I also like aplix too, but having a snap pliers makes fixing things easier too. Haha.
Anyways, I've been wanting a set. But I just haven't had the spare money to buy them. The other week, my cell phone got disconnected. Ugh. I had a $300 bill because we recently had a family plan and didn't pay the bill. Then we (2 of my brothers) went to the cell store and split off into individual plans. I didn't realize that the old bill would roll over onto my new account. Sucky! So I didn't have the money to pay and yeah, disconnection. When I got paid on friday, I planned on making a payment. But then I figured even if I did make a payment, it wouldn't be enough to get my phone back on. So I decided to keep my paycheck and spoil myself. And to top it off (in a good way) it was my birthday on sunday. So I treated myself to some things. Me and Elliot went to Wal-Mart and I got some really nice earrings. And we got Nathan a toy. And I decided I deserved some snap pliers. I ordered them friday night. And I got them yesterday (monday) afternoon! Holy fastness!! I was so excited. First thing I did (after going through everything) was fix and old pair of flats I have. I bought them from urban outfitters. And then the buttons broke off. So I fixed them. And then later I put snaps on a diaper I had at my house. I keep all my diapers and sewing stuff at my grandma's in their apartment above the garage. I will say it is a much better idea to put snaps on before a diaper is sewn. I'm lucky it was a pocket but it took forever to put snaps on. And I don't think I got them as pressed as I could. Oh well, it turned out awesome.
I don't have any pics of the diaper I did, but I have pics of the pliers and my shoes that I fixed. Anyways, I think that's about it. Oh, pretty soon I'm going to learn how to use a serger. It actually might be a bit because my grandma was going to teach me but she just got home from the hospital. She's ok though.
Ok, time for pics.
Snap pliers and what came with:
Shoes I fixed:
I put white snaps on. I only got two colors, white and
lime green.
Well, that's all. Just wanted to share my excitement.
Thanks.

It's my birthday!!!
Woohoo! So far so good. We just stayed home lastnight because no one really had much money to do anything else. We just had some drinks and played video games all night. It really was alot of fun. And today I don't think there is much planned. Elliot's mom is going to make me a cake and we're going to get some ice cream. I might treat myself to a bubble bath. Yay.
I don't remember if I talked about this in any of my other posts, but I plan on going back to school hopefully in January. I went last week and took a sort of admissions test to the college I want to attend. I never took the ACT/SAT and the one I took last week is basically this colleges version of those tests. Based on the results of that, there are a few classes I'm required to take before I can take some other ones. But when I got home after taking the test, I immediatley went online and applied for Financial Aid. I qualify for up to $5500! And this comming wednesday, I have an appt with the guidance counsler at my old high school to help me apply to the college. I asked her to help because I haven't done anything college related for atleast 5 years. Haha. So I'm kinda lost when it comes to that. But I'm looking forward to all this getting taken care of. I can't believe I'm going back to school!
