J Yee smart chick says:thank you Ivy. how are you doing with all the preparations for your new restaurant, your upcoming wedding… have you picked out a color scheme yet?

Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Hi Joyce! We are kinda going a little crazy right now with all the preparations, but it’s very exciting! As far as the wedding, we really don’t know when exactly that will be. We’re hoping to have saved up enough money to have the wedding next summer but for right now there’s no date set. My husband is not too big on too much red in the wedding so I think maybe I’ll go with the “Sexy Diva Wedding” color scheme. Not sure yet. How are things with you? You are in school, right?

J Yee smart chick says:Ivy,
thanks for the updates with you and all the preparations, what an exciting time for all of you! given all that has to be done, I’m glad to hear that you havent set a date, you’ll know as you get thru your preparations when it feels right to have the wedding. given all the gorgeous possible color schemes you’ve already designed, you’ll have a beautiful wedding no matter which you pick, understand that you haven’t definitely decided yet!
Yep, I’m still in school, about ready to start spring quarter, my classes are this weekend, one on Friday and one on Sunday
…
I’m also waiting to hear back about 2 scholarship applications I submitted recently, I’m sure there’s plenty of applicants given what it costs to attend grad school and the state of the economy! I’ll also be starting a new workstudy position tomorrow, it’s with a small one person office of the City of Seattle, in a neighborhood center, I get to answer the phone and talk to walk in visitors when my boss the coordinator is out of the office.

J Yee smart chick says:well, it’s the way my program holds classes – we meet in person once a month, and in between, have lots of online assignments and discussions, plus group work and individual assignments too – that’s why when L.B. asked about signing up for Facebook, nope – already gotta do way too much online stuff for school! like chatting thru Picks here just fine!!!

J Yee smart chick says:hee hee, concentrate on my work, not beads… well, my brain is still recuperating from that easter egg hunt… whew… musta looked up beads and gone to different parts of the L.B. site more times than I care to remember… love the info they have, including the size charts, big photo and some of the “pattern/flash” pics they have for certain stones like labradorite… okay, okay… if I must…
