Working for the Weekend

Considering the strangeness of my week with all of the weather craziness, my weekend has been comfortingly peaceful. I did a lot of sleeping and resting which was great. I was also able to get a lot of work done which makes me very happy. I love the warm fuzzies I feel when I make pretty things.



Last night, I thought I was going over to Anna’s house for a belated birthday dinner. As it turns out, it was a surprise party! I’ve never had a surprise party before so that was very exciting. It was a Mama Mia themed party so we indulged in Greek food (and wine) and settled in for my 22nd viewing of the movie. It was a lot of fun and we sang like the imbibing fools we were. I have a notorious lack of musical talent so I’m sure I sounded amazing.

I am enjoying building an inventory in both of my Etsy shops. Prude and Prudence made its first sale this week which was very exciting. I can’t lie – I will definitely be happy when I can quit my ‘straight job’ and focus on more creative pursuits.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that I live in a parallel universe at work. On Friday I found myself hollering into a bathroom, “Hang up the phone and go to the bathroom now! I’m counting to ten!” As soon as the words left my mouth I realized how insane I sounded. The day before I apologized to a student for not being able to make a shirt out of two feet of string. Working with special ed students is difficult, rewarding – and often hilarious.
