Snow!

That's right boys and girls!  It's finally snowing in Denver.  And it's gross and wet and blowing sideways.  I'm so excited.  We got our first snow on Nov. 12th, but it's snowing again today.

Last week I just had a crud of a time.  I was having trouble at work, stressing about school, adjusting to the weather changing, dealing with people's moods, etc...  I seriously wanted a do-over.  Instead, I found ways to cheer myself up.

Do Not Shave

Honestly, this was incredibly easy to accomplish, seeing as how I don't shave everyday...

Get a Hobby

I took up jewelry crafting.  I made some bottlecap charms, decorated a few lockets, and decorated the back of a necklace.  I had a lot of fun doing it too.  They turned out super cute.  I'll have to take pics.   Two of the lockets were little bibles that I decorated for Tim and Danielle.  :0)

Bullshit Day

I emailed out sick from my exam.  I actually felt sick to my stomach and was in the most foul mood on the face of the planet, but still...  I feel guilty.  Which made me feel more ill.  I was in bed until 12noon that day with my cats.


Day 95

Buy a Newspaper and Only Read the Ads

Well, I get the paper, so it's a little like cheating...  But, whereas some days I actually read through the paper to find out what's interesting, this Sunday I just took out the ads and tossed the rest of the paper.

Ego Control Day: It's not all about you!

Nancy had a bad day at work...  So, I took her out to cheer her up.  She couldn't decide if she wanted a burger or pasta for dinner, so we went to Chile's and split both.  Then we swung by the Robusto Room to say hi to Jason and I bought us a round of Lemon Drop shots.  Then we went and got her Cheesecake and headed home to watch Castle.  Thankfully, I enjoyed everything that I did with her, even if it wasn't "my" day.  :0)

Yesterday was the answer to the universe...

Day 43

"Compose a poem and leave it in public to brighten up someone else's day"
Here is my contribution to the masses.  I printed 10 copies and put them up at random where ever I went with the address to my blog!

Lunaversary
The days become as crisp and fresh as the first time we kissed,

Nights spent by the fireside, and our conversations.

This is the season in which the true joys of love are embraced.

As the leaves change, we do not.

Blanketed in contentment instead of snow;

We continue together into the cold.

Warm in our hearts.

Hot in our passion.

Complete.

Enterprising

So, I think I'm going to try crafting my brains out to make enough inventory to get a booth at a craft bazaar or fair, or even the Mile High Flea Market...?!  I'm feeling inspired and happy with what I produced last night.  I'm currently wearing one of my headbands and I already received two compliments, so that's promising.  We'll see.  I'm going ot try and hold onto this wave of creativity.  It typically comes and goes with me, so I'm going to try my darnedest to keep going.  As for Day 9, I spent the time thid morning doing my hair so that I could show off my hair piece.  A self-serving activity, but I think it was time well spent.  :0)

Deflowered

I seriously need a life.  Tonight, I made 9 hair clips, 4 hair bands, 12 pens, and 1 piece of framed art.  Oh, and I made dinner.
