"Life happens." That seems to be a phrase I'm saying alot these days. Why did I need stitches on my knee? Life happened. Why am I sitting at home blogging on a Thursday morning? Life happened. I'm not quite sure how I have time to get anything done with all this life happening, but here I am anyways.
I finally had time to play with my Duaflex and that TTV concept I was talking about. I'm not crazy about the prints that I got,but I think they were a good first try.
I am going on a fishing trip this weekend!With this announcement, I must admit, I have never gone fishing. I know, I know. What kinda person am I? Apparently everyone in the world knows how to fish. I think the whole idea of fishing is slightly scary. How do you get it off of the hook? What if it's squirming around? Well, hopefully I will know the answers to these and more by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck.
On the more philosophical side, I've been thinking alot about prayer and the future. I read in Eat, Pray, Love that our fate is a combination of both faith and freewill.
There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts. I can choose my destiny. What a liberating thought.
Hi there.
So today I'm working from home. Which is great, don't get me wrong. But I'm tired of sitting in my house unable to get things done. So I surfed the internet, and stumbled across
Rag & Bone again (this great handmade book binding business that I'm in love with). While catching up on their blog, I saw that they had made these great
Kusudama paper flowers. I'm considering making a bouquet of them for fun. How gorgeous would that be? I feel so inspired!
I hope I have time this weekend to try this out!
I've just finished watching probably one of my top 5 fave movies, "Garden State." I love it. It makes me jump up and yell random things to make myself feel more original.
So why am I sitting at home on a Tuesday watching movies? Well, I hurt my ankle. I don't know how, but it was sometime in between consciousness. That is to say I fainted. Twice. (the perils of a Drapalski getting blood drawn).
Although sitting with my leg propped up should put me in a bad mood I find myself laughing uncontrollably. Why not? Sure sometimes I get mad and cry, but in between I laugh and realize how silly it is to take anything too seriously.

My booklist - I finished Angels & Demons and Twilight!)
I've come to find out that I'm a pretty superficial person. It takes very little to make me happy. (Take your pick!)
- shopping
- chocolate
- crazy adventures
After this hellish week of Joe's surgery & my own sickness, I was in need of some cheering up. Annapolis Mall pulled through. I walked in a complete sour puss, and walked out smiling and skipping in the rain with a new Calvin Klein cocktail dress & short haircut. lol.
So maybe I'm shallow, but every girl deserves alittle bit of selfishness & self confidence!
