I have decided to give purpose to my blog; it shall be the
story about my life and the things I have learned. HA it already is! I still
love Zelda, I still research for fun, I’m proud of my Bachelor History Thesis
and I love my husband, friends and family. I don’t really care if my blog is
popular or not, it is a way for me to write and share my thoughts and
experiences with those who are willing to read them.
I recently started a new job as an Administrative and
Accounting Assistant at Monarch Management. It is the corporate office for over
50 deli’s/restaurants in Oregon and West Virginia. My first
month here I couldn’t stop thinking about ‘The Office’ :D I feel like Pam, I AM
reception, I have the curved desk with a raised platform desk around the edge.
I’m considering a candy dish, but for now I’ll keep the broken UPS bobble head
(he’s a conversation starter) People really DO like to hang out at reception, I
even have people leaving documents behind, empty envelopes, and paper clips but
somehow all my pens are walking away… *sigh*
I am not just a paper pusher, by night I am a crafter and
Etsy shop owner!! Hehe I even have
knitting needles that light up so one can knit in the dark. (I have done this,
when the room is dark it looks like aliens are coming to abduct Paul and me
from our living room). On my Etsy site I have become very popular and know for
my ‘Cunning Hat’, it is called this while I am waiting for my contract and tags
from Ripple Junction. Upon which time it shall be the ONLY hat on Etsy that is
allowed to be called “Jayne Cobb’s Hat inspired by Firefly”. Right now I’m trying to make extra hats so
that I have an inventory, I plan on selling them at Kumoricon this fall.
SPEAKING of which, Paul and I are planning our costumes
already, I’m excited to add to my Princess Zelda costume. The biggest addition
is the elf ears for both of us. I have had them for a long while now but never
had anyway to attach them… Plus I have a lot of new Zelda Props, most of which
I made such as the Silver Gauntlets and other a fellow Etsian made CrimsonYura's Little Shop of Awesome.
As you have probably guessed by now I am a workaholic, I
gave myself multiple jobs to do and started my own business while also working
full time at an office. My life is not easy by any stretch of the imagination.
I am so tired all of the time! BUT I could not be happier, helping support my
family (Paul, Billy, Cheswick), achieving my dreams and experiencing this
adventure called life with my best friend and eternal companion Paul.
Life is a journey, I may have 23 years under my belt but I
know it is far from over.
