Organized Thought: Now in 3 Easy Steps!

natalie dee


1)
I bought a Burt's Bees lip balm today. My lip is getting increasingly more chapped and I'm worried that it will never heal. I can't tell if its working or not but I'm slathering it on constantly. It hurts less at least, I think.

It smells like honey! :9

2) The working-all-the-time streak continues. I think I'm going to pick up even more shifts next week. Today I stayed at work for an extra 2 hrs helping John organize files, which is, surprisingly, kind of fun! haha

3) Met up with Ange today to talk about the Boar and I think I'm going to do a comic and help with a participatory art project. I'm a little unsure about the comic though. Because its supposed to make some sort of social commentary, and in all honesty, I don't know whether or not I have strong enough opinions for that.

Career Woman

Not by a long shot. But I have been spending a lot of time at work lately. It's funny, to go from being 90% sure of quitting, and instead picking up a million extra shifts. I feel like I live there. Maybe its because, until recently, work's the only thing I don't fail at. Or maybe its because I do desperately need the money-- that's the justification I prefer.

I'm looking forward to next week: Sound of Music, Winterlicious, meeting Maddy, Thrift Store shopping, etc. It'll be good.

peace, love, and coraline

We're going to eat at Stone Crock in 15 minutes, I don't even know what they serve at Stone Crock. Soup? Mmmm, soup. Bitter cold is a perfect day for soup.

It shocks me sometimes how easily I'm won over. I can be fuming, spitting mad... but give me 15 minutes with someone who demonstrates any sort of remorse and I'm putty in their hands.

I want to see this:


art projects and the aftertaste of whopper

It pretty much sucks that I can't get to sleep considering I've got to wake up in less than 5 hrs so I can get to work by 9.
NTS: Wash tumbler so I can load up on the coffee tomorrow without killing trees.


As much as I hate work right now, I'm excited about picking up these morning shifts. It'll be nice to have a little extra cash, esp without the training hrs i usually get. (Not bitter, not bitter.) And it'll be good alone time to do little things while i call.

I think I'm going to try to get there early enough tomorrow to buy a new sketchbook and some sharpies and pens and stuff. Maybe by the end of the term I'll actually fill it. I have some ideas for a bunch of jewelry I want to make this term, too. But that's not really something i can work on at work haha

Gross. I just burped a little and the taste of Whopper came up. It's nice having Jo back, but these midnight fast food runs are killing me. (Even though they're totally my idea.)

I want to watch the inauguration speech again. Oh, 'bama. *sigh* you make me well up every time. <3

bonne nuit!
