I Need To Make a Ceremonial Sacrifice
So, I've been restless as of late. I want change - but small change this time. So, being the 20 something girl that I am, I figured the easiest way to do this through my appearance. And this being a holiday weekend, there are sales galore - so armed with the majority of two paychecks, I headed out to some fine retail establishments.

The Good and the Bad
So. It's the Thursday evening before a glorious 3 day weekend and where am I? Sitting on my front porch, watching the sunset, listening to good music, and chilling. And trying to come up with something more interesting than how great it feels out here to blog about.

Moving On
Obviously some of my items need to be changed because involve Mark, and well, its just not feasible to do things like #65 "clean out Mark's studio" or #57 "take Mark on 6 dates." So, over the next few days I will come up with new items for those that are no longer applicable.
I've been reading Color: A Natural History of the Palette by Victoria Finlay for what seems like forever! Don't get me wrong, the book is interesting and I've learned a lot of cool, new, completely useless bits of information, but it's also a really slow read. I'm ready for something new and exciting. My goal is read a lot over my 3 day weekend. Hopefully outside so I can accomplish 2 goals as the same time - finish this book and get some sun on my vampiric skin. Seriously, my tummy glows in the dark. It's sad.

Naked
And I'm neurotic. It's now a quarter til 10 and I've caught myself checking the clock every 4 minutes for the past hour like an impatient child on a road trip "Is it time yet? What about now?" I'm just waiting til its 11 so I can take my lunch break and go home and fetch my phone. And my license. And my debit card. And my lighter.
Yep. That's how big of a hurry I was in this morning. I forgot my cell phone and my lighter. What was the rush? Nothing special. I was just running late.
Normally, as I'm walking out of the house, I go over my "essentials checklist" - lighter, lip gloss, cigarettes, phone, keys. If I have those 5 things, then I can survive anywhere. Iraq, work, the Gobi desert, anywhere. I can cope with out money - there's always free food and/or spare change to be found somewhere. I don't need my sunglasses - I just prefer them - but I can cope without them. But let me leave the house without some form of Burt's Bees waxy goodness, and I will go insane trying to keep my lips moist. Its not pretty. No smokes? I will get desperate. Coming up with elaborate bartering systems just to bum from someone, when really, all I have to do is ask. . . yeah, I know, I'm addicted and I need to quit again. I will but not right now.
So, that's what I'm dealing with today - separation anxiety from my cellphone. And in all honesty, we're only going to be separate for 3.25 hrs. - its not even all day.
I have issues.

Will I?
I'm trying to get back into the groove of blogging about something other than my day to day life. While I know its terribly exciting and y'all all wish you were me, I think its time to change pace. So, here's a meme that's been floating around blogoshpere (or at least the sphere that I read).

The Birthday Presents


And then I made some for myself, that are green with mustaches. Upon further thought, I stuck them on Etsy to see if they would sell. If these sell, then I have plans to do more and with different silhouettes. So, if you like them, please buy them! Or if you want some but want a different silhouette, just let me know and I'll be glad to make them for you!
