Here is a picture of one of my all time favorite costumes! My mom made it for me, and I seriously wore it around the house for years! I named the horse Lightning (after the horse in Wild Hearts Can't be Broken) and I would jump over things and off things... Oh it was fun:)
p.s. I think my brother was the Rocketeer that year...
I was walking over to get soy milk from the pantry the other night and I encountered a little surprise... a furry little surprise. There was a mouse sitting on the box of trashbags just looking at me. He was very cute, but I certainly did not want him near my soy milk... so I came up with an ingenious plan. I taped a trashbag the floor and a little bit up the edges of the door and proceeded to try to scare him with a stick! It took several attempts and some team work, but the mouse ran into the trashbag and we captured him! I fell a little bad about throwing a live mouse away, but all in all I'm pretty impressed with myself:) Who knew that I was an inventor:) (or am I just pest control?)
In other news... * I'm getting more hours at work (yay for the bank account boo for my sleep) * I think it's way too hot to be almost November. * I made ginger scones:) * I got new gray eyeliner that matched my gray nail polish (I realize this is not exactly news, but I thought it was exciting) * I need to start Christmas shopping!!!
(can you tell my life in pretty unexciting if these are newsworthy)
Last friday I got a chance to go see Nick and Norah's Infiite Playlist with Shell and Tessa. It was so much fun. Tessa and I said it made us want to go on an adventure... but I think everyone should go see it! You'll never look at gum the same again:)
I absolutely never thought I would ever hava a job that was stressful! I fully do not know what I expected, but certainly not this. I enjoy the enviornment and the people I work with, but stress??? Those of you who knew me in college are probably cracking up right now because I think this may be the first time I have been stressed. I can honestly say I have never felt like more of a grown up... I'm not sure I like it!
To quote Greys Anatomy....
"We're adults. When did that happen? And how can we make it stop?"
I quit my job in the central coast to be closer to family in the desert. I'm using this time as a sabbatical... I want to do all the things I couldn't do with a full time job... I hope to document my travels, discoveries, and adventures...
