Gear Change

This will be an actual, but half-assed update.

On Monday, I was offered a job at the art studio I applied to. On Tuesday, I started working. So, today was my 2nd day there. I really like it there, and I think it's going to be an awesome place to work, but I'm not sure yet if I can make it work for me as far as hours and pay. I'm going to try as best I can to feel it out, and I feel like I can make it work if I just find my perfect balance.

I wrapped more presents and put up my tree tonight, here a crap shot with my web cam:

Pink Tree & Presents

You can see the top of Stella there in the bottom part of the picture. :)

And, that's all for my half-assed update. I'm very tired after my exciting evening with the IL side knitters, and I'm getting a little loopy. I turn into a cranky toddler when I start to get sleepy...

December Indeed

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:50:56 -0600

Snow, ice, and sleet here today in St. Louis. It seems to have come as such a shock to the world here, that every highway was shut down this evening due to accidents. Because that whole "rained all day today then dropped to 25 degrees like they've been saying it would for over a week" didn't spark drivers to use caution *OR* the department of transportation to salt the roads. Ah yes, it's winter in St. Louis yet again.

I, of course, opted to lock myself inside the entire day, wearing fleece pajamas and being force-cuddled by the dog. (Force cuddled: I sit on the couch, a few inches from the side arm. Paisley sits on my other side, as close as physically possible, slowly forcing closer until I am wedged between her and the side arm and can no longer move.)

However, don't let this lead you to believe that I accomplished nothing today. I accomplished many things. Here are just a few:

1. Ordered presents for over half my holiday list off of various websites.

2. Decided on what to get those I hadn't taken care of yet, and made plans to get those things done.

3. Applied for several jobs.

4. Briefly attempted to assemble my elliptical, but gave up due to extreme discomfort in movement. I will finish this tomorrow.

5. Knitted 2/3 of Tammy's central park hoodie hood, informing her if this were a "central park collared" it would be done. :) She has informed me that I am hilarious.

6. Made a list of things to get at Target tomorrow. Because it was too cold today.

In other news, pizza fixes EVERYTHING.

On top of being the world's authority on approachability, that guy with the nametag, and so damn good looking, my Scott is also the best boyfriend in the world. Why, you ask? Well, just take a look at what I got for Christmas:

Love Sack!

My Love Sack!

EEP! I got a Love Sack for Christmas!!!! A real, huge, awesome Love Sack!!!! It is the greatest thing in the world. I can't believe I've even left my house since I got it. Oh my.

Other than that, here's my tree:

So. That's all for now. I'll post more later.
