Home-Body-ness.

I've been feeling a bit cranky today. I think it's because of the coffee incident this morning. I am happy to report that my buckwheat hulls are safely back in my pillow case and I took a nice hot shower and sitting in my flannel dinosaur nightgown seems to be doing the trick of making me feel better.

I'm working on my application for Skowhegan. It's a residency program in Maine... The chances of me getting in are slim, but I guess you never know unless you try. Right? I better get back to it then. OOOh. I'm getting my brows waxed tomorrow that will be nice.

You know it's not going to be a good day when...

You try to put your french press on the window ledge and manage to place it on it's side.

Tonight I will be washing pillows and sheets... I had to dump out my buckwheat pillow because it got all wet.. hopefully the hulls didn't get too wet so I can refill it once I wash the case.

It's days like these I wish I had a bigger apartment with a coffee table.

In short...

Good Advising, Good class, very tired.... six men have looked at my personals profile I put up a few days ago...
More on that later.

Bad Posting Day.

I had a nice post this morning but then my computer froze.

I guess you'll just have to imagine what it was like... it had something to do with it being cold, advising with e-roth, my lack of hot water when I take a shower in the morning and my class tonight. oh and getting plane tickets to New York.

My Studio Vibrates.

I'm serious!
I sit here in my studio and the floor vibrates. It feels like some big ass moster is walking down the hallway!

It's a good thing I don't get queasy.


Here's Luigi again!

grrr....

I have cramps... I know that's probably not the first thing you wanted to read but it's the first thing on my mind. They woke me up this morning.

Today I am going to the studio to show Carmina how to cast plaster hands. I should get going so I can get the wax heated up. It's sort of like dipping a candle - you dip your hand in the hot wax and then in water, you repeat this until you build up a shell around your hand, wait for it to cool down a bit and then pull out your hand. Later you fill it with plaster and once it's hard you peel off the wax.

Okay, the lesson is over.

Today I think I'm going to break out the Credit Card and buy a plane ticket to New York... I have to get my crap together for CAA.

vegetable

I was a vegetable yesterday. I didn't do much after going to my meeting in the morning. I did go to an opening (event?) at Mess Hall that my friend Julie had. The works presented had to do with communication and interaction... I had written conversations with people... it's interesting writing instead of speaking... You are more likely to say things than you would if you had to actually speak to people. Did that make sense?

Okay, today I think I'll go to the studio and maybe make some molds of my feet. My horoscope says I shouldn't go shopping - that's good becasue I don't have any money to buy anything.

In just a few short months I'll be done with my education... did I ever think that I would have this sort of degree back when I was working at Focus Hair Salon or Red Robbin?? No. Why am I talking about this? I'm thing about all that money I have to pay back. yikes. But I have no regrets... this is what I wanted to do.

I should clean my apartment today. It's a bit messy...

Oh, yesterday was Grant's birthday. I sang to him on the phone...and sent him an e-card. I was lame and forgot to send him a real card. I'm a bad Sister-in-law.

Addendum

When I was saying the Dick Buttons reminded me of my Dad a bit I didn't mean that he makes inane comments... I don't know what I meant... my Dad sort of looks like him...

Okay I should just stop now.

Oh Dick Button, how I've missed you!

I'm watching the Ladies US Figure skating championships and I have missed the inane commentary of Dick Button. He sort of reminds me of my dad a bit. He's not being as negative as he was during the Olympics - maybe they've adjusted his medication.

Cooking lesson number one.

Don't leave your cabinet door open so that you hit your head on the corner.

Ouch.

Scaffolding from Florence.

This scaffolding was on Santa Croce in Florence. They have a School of Leather there too. I bought a coin purse there. Hmm. leather.

More Good News.

I did do laundry last night and I did manage to get on my jeans this morning even with long underwear underneath! Yay. I am in a better mood!

Good News.

This morning the scale has headed down a bit. That's good.

I haven't been up this early in a long time - at least not intentionally up this early.. okay not since I last saw Luigi but that was in Florence so taking into account the time difference etc... I'm still not up that early!

I better move.

Words that sound obscene but aren't ...

Here's a few...
lube
ointment
moist

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them at the moment.

It's like the most beautiful sounding words are associated with not so savory things...
gonorrhea
chlamydia
diarrhea

Then there's the word pupa...

Better....

I am feeling a bit better now. Still not 100 percent. It was good working today... it will be nice to have some income coming in again (even if it's not much).

Now if only I could get someone to buy my artwork for a million dollars.

Another Day.

Okay, after nine and a half hours of sleep it is a new day. It's too early to tell if the mood is better. My coffee tastes better this morning - and I have to work so that will make me get off my butt and do something.

I WILL do laundry today. Even if it means I have to wear stretchy clothes for the next few weeks. I WILL get back on track. I won't buy junk food (I don't have any money to spend on it).

Hell, I might even break out the curling iron... I looked at lipstick at Sephora yesterday but it was too expensive - I guess I just have to pass on the pouty Angelina Jolie lips.

Okay.

Dreamgirls was pretty good. Not as good as Little Miss Sunshine or The Queen, but it was good. I'm still feeling pretty stinky but hopefully tomorrow will be better. I may go to bed soon so tomorrow will be here before you know it.

I should do laundry, I'm running out of fat pants.

In order to feel better.

I am taking myself out on a date to see Dreamgirls. I'm going to have popcorn too.
Hopefully this will help do the trick (of getting the funk out of me).

currently

I'm putting together a playlist on iTunes called "depressed but going to be okay mix" I know it will be okay but I'm on the verge of tears today for some reason. I went to a WW meeting this morning where it was said that this week is the hardest for people because of the weather, post holiday let down, just general blahs. I agree.

La Muca

That's Italian for the cow. That's how I'm feeling right now. I know I'll get over it, I always do... I just have to buckle down. I wish it were sunny so I could go out and run (yeah, I said run). I'm feeling large and inactive. I miss having a gym to work out in, I miss my dog, I miss my chiropractor.

Okay I have to stop. On a bright side. I am going to be working at an At Work Weight Watchers meeting a few blocks from my studio. It's at a law firm... who knows maybe I meet some cute single attorneys??? Okay, I know they (Attorneys) are usually too busy to have a social life - but there may be a rare case??? I start that tomorrow.

I have to get my act together and buy a plane ticket to New York for the CAA Conference. I just wish I had some money to buy one.

On the Today Show they are talking about mattresses that cost almost 50,000 dollars yikes - I need to find people who are buying them and let them finance my Grad school education.
