I love December. Christmas decorations and lights and snowflakes to hang, planning Christmas presents and getting ready to wrap, making Christmas cookies and other treats, wearing cozy sweaters and pretty red and green things with sparkley eyes, readying the house for E's birthday party, celebrating God's gifts, and most importantly, a lot of great family time throughout.
But along with all of that, December is stressful. I love it, but I can see that my headaches come easier and I put a lot of expectations on myself to DO all of those things above and do them the best I can. This year, I've cut back on a few things that I did last year (traveling to CA for a holiday, making a tray of goodies for each of my siblings), and I got my shopping done much earlier, but I'm still feeling frazzled here and there.
But I can't help it, I still love December and look forward to it all. :)
The last few weeks, I have only glanced at my other computer. But I've been spammed to high heaven and had have over 100,000 pieces of junk mail sitting here between a lot of folders, waiting to be deleted. The problem with that is that it's too much to delete at a time, and just the thought of it makes my computer want to cry and it opens the folders very slowlllllly.
Anyhow, the last folder I was in, one of the titles just now made me giggle: "Work from Home ONLINE". Wow, they are gonna have to do better than that, I've already got that one covered :P
I thought I was so in love with Anna Nalick's Breathe (2AM), but now that I have Wreck of the Day, I love it even more that Breathe.
I can't help but sing the harmony, too, which would probably drive everyone around me insane, but heh, i'm in my own office all along, so I guess I don't have to worry about that :D
That's all. Just ramblings of a crazy girl on a friday morning... :)
Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
I don't have a tattoo. But I almost gone one the second time I was in New York City. If one of my friends had gotten one, I probably would have too, but we ended up not going.
I have known since before then what I would get though. on my upper left shoulder, where my bra strap hits the middle of my back, I would get a small butterfly. Small as in less-than-a-dime size.
I planned to draw it myself, pretty simple but with sort of gradienty colors, more yellow and green on top and purple and blue on the bottom with pink ends.
Just for fun, I drew it out on a scrap of paper and took a picture with my camera phone. And took out my crayons to color it while I was at it (i'm such a geek).
I seriously can't believe that I would have thought of that when I was like 22 and still think that was the perfect thing for me, but I *am* a butterfly person, and I do love the colors and the simple shape. And when I think about it, I can still point to the exact spot on my back where I'd get it.
The second idea is always a daisy, simple, probably just an outline with no color. I am always doodling daisies, so that makes sense too. Maybe on my ankle.
At this point in my life, I don't really need a tattoo. I'm pretty content without one, in fact. But the fantasy in me says "you should do this some day". :)
p.s. i'm not sure why the title is something to believe in, I guess i'm a little slow!
