Can't Trust No One

So I was so excited my passport was coming in and I found a company that seemed eager and experienced in getting visas. That was before I got a fairly strange email and so i just thought I would check out some reviews of the company and all I could find were these horrible reviews on how they take your money and never speak to you again.  That is something that I can't afford to let happen, so now I have a lot of research to do again to figure out how I am going to get my visaack to the UK. So back to square one it feels like. Strange how something slightly odd in an email tips ya off and makes ya feel so suspicious.

On a much happier note I made more lego! Check out my amazing shelf of lego!

Lego!

So I have been feeling kind of down lately since I found out how much my visa is going to cost and I just do not have then money right now, so I have been feeling rather melancholy is the best word for it. I also haven't been sleeping at all, I have been falling asleep on the couch every day at about 4-6 min the morning. So that isn't helping. I have been cheerful every once in a while, but I really miss Scotland and Dixon. Its hard being away for so long.. So I think Caryn was trying to cheer me up! So we built some of her lego collection!! I was so excited, it has been ages since I have built lego, let alone a proper set, and this was a big set!!!
 Hagrid's hut anyone?
You might be able to tell that i am slightly more excited about the one I built, but there was so much stuff all over this thing it was crazy!


 And this was Caryn's that she built last night, the cannon actually fires! So that is almst as exciting as the crocodile.

So that definately helped cheer me up and I am probably going to build some more tonight cause thats how I roll. Plus there is more Harry Potter Lego to be built. I may start on some soon.doing pretty well gonna hopefully paint a painting for my sisters work, and will perhaps get drwing that soon too.
So other than being quite moany I am doing pretty well.

So i got down to business today, and got the painting done! I should start remembering to take a photo of the whole process but here is the finished product.

So yay for productivity!!!

Changes...

So it has been a while, and my reason for not updating was because I figured not much was happening I was reading more than drawing.  I do not really review books so it wasn't too much excitement going on to shout about. But now so much has happened.Starting first off I had to come back to Canada and leave my husband behind so I can apply for a new visa to stay in Scotland.
 So right now I am in Canada trying to get back. I have loads of paperwork to sort out, but a lot of it is done already! So that is an exciting thing, I am a few steps into the process of getting back to Scotland!! It is freezzing here as well! It was just starting to be really nice in Scotland jsut before I left and now I am droppeed into twwo feet of snow and minus a billion temperatures!!
I got a new haircut which I really like I was worried about it for a while but I like it now again! Needs to be trimmed again but I am going to wait for a real hairdresser to do it this time cause when I do it I mostly wreck it so we will wait this time haha.
I have done a bit of drawing since being here, just a couple sketches, one of a chameleon skull and one of nikola tesla, they are tuning out ok need more work though but thought I would post a bit.
So ya work is still beeded but getting back into drawing and painting is important right now but I am readinng loads! That helps me when i wasnt to draw as well!
I also went to see Rango! It was unexpectantly funny!! I really wnated to see it cause I like chameleons, but it was even better than I thought it would be, best bit all I can say is holy Fear and Loathing reference!
Hehehe funny stuff keeps me happy while I am here missin my home and Dixon
