i finally did it

i took the gre!!!  i've been saying that i'm going to take it for 2 years so that i can actually apply to the IRLS program instead of just taking classes!  it was weird taking it.  first off, i haven't taken a test like that in around 20 years and secondly it was administered on a computer screen.  back when i was a undergrad we barely had computers!  times have changed

anyhow, now i'm finished with it and i can get back to making lots of stuff.  in fact, i'm not sure how i'm going to get everything done.  i've made a pledge to have a handmade christmas this year.  i might have to break that pledge to get a bike for patrick, but other than that i really do want to make everything or only purchase handmade items.
