[ on my mind ]

two blogs in one day. hot damn! 

here is what's on my mind tonight:

he is currently in south dakota. 4 states. 1 time zone. and roughly 1083 miles away. it feels like we are on different planets some days. 

another thing on my mind is....

CUPCAKES!

i've been thinking a lot about my future recently. specifically, if cake decorating is in it or not. seeing this beautiful image makes me want to keep experimenting and learning even if i have to do it on my own. 

sleep is the last thought for tonight. so exhausted after my double today and i have to turn around and do it again tomorrow. BUT! my brother is in town for an hour or so and i am so, so, so, excited to see him!

[ telephone calls ]

he called today. oh man, it was SO good to hear his voice. it's been a little over seven weeks since we talked, and even longer since we've last seen each other. seven weeks doesn't sound like a very long time at all. we used to talk every day though, sometimes more than once. bah! i refuse to dwell. it was phenomenal talking with him today and i cannot wait until he comes home. i just hope we can see each other, even if it's only for an hour or so. keep your fingers crossed for me? yeah?

[ wood chips ]

good lord. this has been a crazy couple of days. on the one hand, i lost my job. on the other hand, i don't think i've been this happy/inspired/creative/excited/etc... in a very long time. i will work hard. i will. i am finally doing what i want both in life and in creative endeavors. i've learned my lessons and although i wish they would have walked away learning theirs, i know they won't.

moving on! minus that little hiccup last week, things have been good. i've been working little by little on all my "resolutions" and the list of things i want to do before i'm 24. although, with the loss of a paycheck some of the list, like save money, will be put on hold.

i'm not a big fan of snow, but driving my sister back to school last weekend was so beautiful! all the trees were covered in the fluffy stuff and everything looked so beautiful and peaceful.

all in all i'm ready to hit the ground running. but first i've got to makes some lists! for anyone who loves making lists i highly recommend this site: listography.com. i've been on it for a couple months now, and it's love!
