About Jewelry Clasps

I'll keep this short. I was in the middle of a #CPChatNow on twitter when we somehow got on the topic of jewelry clasps. Now, you may think eh, what's the big deal? Until you're shaking trying to hook a clasp holding the hook in one hand, and smothering the clasp in the other. So what kind of clasp do you get someone with CP? While something that stretches is ideal for me at least, that's not always what happens. I'd like to suggest lobster clasps-the bigger the better. They do sell just the clasp. For less than $2.00 sometimes. They also sell them in sizes from 12mm up to the extra large size at my local Hobby Lobby. Then there are also toggle clasps, where you just shove the toggle through and catch it on the loop. They also sell those in 2 packs for about $2.00. I usually have my Mom to help me with the clasps that aren't so nice. People in general are usually pretty nice like that to help with tricky clasps for anyone! But if you're trying to be polite stretchy, lobster clasp, or toggle clasp is the way to go.

Too Much Stuff

So friends, family, & other assorted followers, much to report. I made the Provost list at DMACC!!!  Meaning my 3.5 cumulative gpa will be recognized via certificate! In response to my awesome interviewing final- I ordered a t-shirt with a sloth & tortoise on it...Still waiting for both to come via snail mail. Otherwise all is busy& good when it comes to my life. I'm past midterms and have about 3 weeks of actual classes left. Then I get 2 weeks off before fall semester hits, woo! I've been spending any actual freetime I have with my headphones on listening to whatever I can, or out back in the sun!  What have you been up to? Anything fun? I think I will have to make a new goal of sorting through my stuff. Getting rid of some of it. I wouldn't say I'm to Hoarders status, but lets say next best thing to it :-) Oh well, I can't be the only one with cleaning to do. New goal- put the music on the stereo and get to work!... Maybe I'll start later tonight, as I am off to the law library!

4th of July

Yes, it's the 4th of July. I'm at home avoiding any parades or fireworks in celebration thereof. Watching Captain America: Winter Soldier for reasons as a 25 year old female I feel no need to explain. Today is really about independence as a country. With CP I usually feel the need to celebrate my independence as far as what I'm able to accomplish. While yes, I do need a helping hand on occasion, most of the time I'm independent. Others with CP are not so lucky. Some require hired assistants, wheelchairs, some even suffer from seizures...If severe enough. So yes, go out, celebrate responsibly, feel lucky for what you can do that you would normally take for granted...In the mean time I'll be doing my normal homework and researching.
