Winner winner chiken dinner

I was so happy to have people comment that I am going to give a portrait to all four of you guys!  Be sure to send me your addresses you would like them mailed to (Megan and Geoff excluded) and I will get to work on them. If you want a certain picture of yourself you better send that too, otherwise I will just troll your fb/tumblr until I find one I like.

In other news, it is my last day of my morning schedule at work which I am super happy about. Try as I might, I am just not a morning person. Sorry 6 AM, it has been great, but screw you.

Also I am getting super excited about planning a trip to Minnesota next month. My dear friend is getting married and I cannot miss it. As I plan, I realize that I want to see so many people and do so many things that it is going to be a jam-packed awesome trip. And I might need to request off a few more days. 


My goal for this weekend is to dive back into Keri Smith's books that I have collected. She is amazing at getting one inspired to think creatively and I highly suggest checking out her website and grabbing one of her books if you see them in the bookstore.

I also have her newer one, Mess and the "non" planner planner that she made as well. The pages have prompts and then you are free to do whatever inspires you, using different mediums and interpretations. Here are a few of my favorite ones I have done so far:

"It is a new day"

what was I thinking?

It is roughly 900 degrees here at work.

Our night desk guy called in sick.

There are a ton of high schoolers in the building due to summer camps.

I'm staying here until at least ten, maybe midnight, tonight.

My boss better appriciate this.

i hate numbers right now

I have to do all this computer entry stuff for this group of kids that moved into the apartments at work and part of that means I have to select their room nubmer from this list. Which wouldn't be such a pain if the list was, you know, in numerical order. It isn't. At all. And we have 8 floors with over thirty apartments on each floor. So now my eyeballs want to bleed. Ugh.

And I'm craving salt like whoa. I want to eat a whole bag of potato chips. mmmmm.

It's Friday!

Tomorrow I am going to Chicago to go see the Harry Potter Exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. I am super excited! I'm going with my dad and my littlest brother. :) Don't fret - I plan on taking lots of pics.

We just had a scary meeting at work where my boss told us none of us are getting raises this year. But no lay-offs or anything so I am ok with that I spose.

I've been super tired all week. Usually I'm up until midnight or one but lately I've been hopping in bed at ten. And then I'm still tired all day. I could curl up under my desk right now and take a nap. I even had my coffee today - wtf?

I'm going to try to scam one of my brothers into seeing Wolverine with me this weekend. Maybe my mom. I actually can't believe I haven't seen it yet since my heart belongs to Gambit.

Speaking of my mom, I had to try to explain to her how to put music on her iphone today while I was driving downtown. She said has a hard time with technology. I said that's because she grew up using an abacus.

4 or 5??

Dude do I work until four or five today? I cannot remember for the life of me and I'm the only one in the office today. I could bail I guess but I'd rather get paid.

That's all!
