crap. %#*@

apparently when you say to the home improvement paint girl, "hey i need this color in acrylic" that really means "please make this in latex so that you RUIN my whole project". please and thank you. and that is exactly what happened. homegirl mixed my "heart's desire" in latex so my first two layers that were supposed to be acrylic and then followed by a single layer of latex were actually latex, ruining the primer aspect. efffff. needless to say, my project is absolutely ruined beyond repair. fail. i should have known better than just trusting pumpkin mixed it correctly. i should have checked it before i left the store and started painting. oops. so now it appears i'm going to be attempting an upholstery project. pray for me.

things i already knew, learned, and wish i hadn't learned in 2010

things i've learned on my own, from my friends, and from facebook... ok, not the last part :)  1. go with your gut 2. you are your biggest obstacle 3. make them come to you; chase after no one 4. it is always interesting to see who stays on the boat once it starts rocking 5. you learn more about yourself by asking others about themselves 6. it is ok to not know the answer 7. be your own priority 8. i am the most comfortable 'me' i've ever been professionally, and for the first time feel like i'm doing exactly what i am supposed to be doing 9. "single" should not be treated like a four letter word ((plus, it's six letters.. lol)) 10. don't call people fat 11. call of duty is the enemy 12. if you're in chicago during the winter and you see a puddle of water, it is most likely ice, and if you step on/in it, you're gonna fall flat on your ass ((or at least tweak three muscles in your lower back trying to regain your balance)) 13....

s.i.n.g.l.e.

I have been single 25 of my 27 years of life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And yet, everything around me tells me that I should not be so content with my solitude. The movies, the wedding channels, the tv shows centered around relationships, every person I know engaged/married/pregnant… these things all point to our predilection to pair off in twos and go forth and prosper. Some days, I log onto Facebook, look at the most recent engagements, pregnancies, marriages, relationships, wedding planning, etc, and I want to delete every single person. It is not a malicious deleting that would occur. I think of it more as self-preservation . What is a girl supposed to do while she is inundated with couples and procreation? It is particularly obnoxious when you have not seen a person in multiple years and their first question for you is, “So are you seeing anyone?” Now, when you are asked this question as their opening line, it intrinsically implies that nothing else going...

i love my life and everyone who is in it

I am at school preparing for my final NSU exam ever . I cannot put into words how exciting that is. Do you know that feeling when you are watching a thunderstorm from afar and you can see the lightning and are waiting for the thunder? It is that sense of anticipation I am experiencing right now. 31 days . It is not that I am so ready for this chapter to end, as it is I am so eager to see what the next has in store for me. I do not ruminate on how lucky I am to be in the position I am in; rather, I am enjoying watching the fruits of my labor blossom. I do not believe in luck . I believe that you make opportunities through hard work and being the kind of person others want to know and see succeed. I find myself in the position of waking up every morning excited about life. I learn so much every day, and although that may be due to the fact that I am still a student and will be a student every day of the rest of my life, I relish the thought that there is so much more to learn. I...
