I has a sad.

I feel sad today.

I think it's just the inevitable turnaround from being so ridiculously happy for the past month and a half. I was deliriously happy during our vacation in Europe, and then I came back and I wasn't stressed at work and then my WHOLE family came to visit and everything was so good. I think I'm just coming down from exhilaration and it's manifesting itself as pseudo-depression.

I'm mopey. And whiny. And spontaneously teary-eyed. Even kitty snuggles and reading Harry Potter on my lunch break didn't make me feel much better.

Also, I have a pimple.

Chanel cuddled on me to make the sads go away. 

I'm just chalking it up to a bad day. Now I'm off work, hanging out with my husband and trying to come up with things to be excited about (that's depressing). 

One thing that's really awesome is that I heard from my friend Melissa (who is also my contact at Confront Magazine) and she said that she heard back from the manager guy for Bryan John Appleby (a local musician that I love) and there is a possibility that I might get to do an interview. Eeek! That would be so much fun. I would love to get inside that guy's head, and hopefully get him more exposure. I think his music is amazing and I want everybody else to hear it, too. 

Also, filed under fun things: one of the diversity groups at my job is paying for everybody at my work (who wants to go) to go down to the Seattle Art Museum for an exhibit on women's art. It's this Friday night after work, and it usually costs $23 to get in. That's like a $50 date if Marc and I went ourselves. I love museums and it's something free to do on a Friday night, so it's a win-win.  

A cute baby just walked by. I feel better. Thanks, universe.

NaNoWriMo Day 1: I CHEATED

Image
I worked 55 and a half hours this week.  I'm so tired.  Regardless of THAT, though, I knew that I wanted to come home and start NaNoWriMo (for those of you unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month... you write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November... about 1,667 words a day!).  I'm crazy. I'm also doing NaBloPoMo... I think that's what it's called. National Blog Posting Month? Anyways, so that's a little more simple. All I have to do is at least post a blog post a day. I REALLY miss writing my blog, and I think NaBloPoMo would be a good way to get back into the habit. What's that thing I keep seeing on Pinterest? It only takes 21 days to make a habit? We'll see.  RIGHT, back to the cheating.  My story idea for the novel I'm writing came to me back in November 2011. Marc and I were getting ready to celebrate our first anniversary. I was listening to a lot of Death Cab for Cutie at that time (and all

Project: 100 Books in 2013

Image
At the end of 2011, I made a resolution that nearly everybody makes: I wanted to get healthy, get in shape, and most importantly, feel more comfortable in my body. More than 60 pounds later, I consider my New Year's resolution from last year to be a smashing success. I feel fantastic and have plans to continue getting healthier and happier. Since I was able to stick to my resolution last year, I am overflowing with ideas (and confidence) to continue to improve my life overall in 2013. One of the things that I really want to work on is making time to do things that I enjoy. I've fallen into a pattern lately of getting up, rushing off to work, working hard and long and then coming home, mentally drained to watch TV and play on my phone until I fall asleep after a few short hours and then repeating the process. I hate it. So, I've made a list of things that I want to do (and not do) in 2013. One of the big ones is to spend more time reading. I love to read. It re

Panic Stress Dreams. So, that's fun.

Image
I'm really hoping that my three week vacation is ridiculously restful and relaxed and completely stressed free. That is, if the stress of getting ready to be gone for three weeks doesn't kill me before I make it to my vacation. Our plan for Friday is to leave work at noon and be out of the house, on the way to the airport around 12:30 p.m. I woke up this morning in a panic after dreaming that we were leaving work to run home and get our luggage on Friday at 1:07 p.m. To add to my anxiety, I was leaving work without finishing everything that I needed to do before I left (a big concern for me in real life over the past few weeks). So, in dream life, I get home to find that I haven't packed! Now, in real life, I have lists and packing systems and everything is going to be super organized and packed (tonight) as soon as all the laundry is done. I start randomly throwing crap in my backpack and we rushed out of the door, me sobbing that I'm sure we are going to miss ou
