Day

I bought a box of twenty four crayons today

My favorite, the Scarlett Crayon's paper is spiraling off.

I am so disappointed.

I dropped AP Statistics for Photo 1.

I'm thrilled.

I want different friends.

Whisper

This woman came into the store on Thursday and said

"Beading is only my hobby, really I'm a cat whisperer"

Not to judge, but that is definitely abnormal.

Winter Break

In an effort to end this feeling of uselessness, I am going to make a list of things that I MUST do during Winter Break, both Learning To Love You More and, you know, LIFE.

1. Curate an artist's retrospective in a public place, I need to decide who and where, ideas welcome (8).
2. Snowboard, you know depending on who's going, where we're going and the amount of delicious New Mexican or Colorado(an?) snow.
3. 24 hours of Christmas movies, not because I'm wild about them, but becuase I need to waste 24 hours, and this is a damn good way to do it.
4. Work, naturally.
5. Make those delicious thumb print cookies that have jelly in the middle.
6. Read Catch 22, All Quiet on the Western Front and Slaughterhouse Five
7. Write my life story in less than three days (14).
8. Make a video of someone dancing.
9. Make a flier of one of the better, more interesting, abnormal days (10).
10. Enjoy it.
11.  Make delicious holiday foods, and buy good coffee add ins after Christmas.

#57-Lipsync to Shy Neighbor's Garth Brooks Cover

With the whole family here and bored, who wouldn't want to make a Garth Brooks lipsync video.  And who better than my cousin (who would like to remain nameless)?
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.
