pre-holiday thoughts

1. going to be in the bay area for christmas! 12/23-12/29

2. sketchbook at 35/80. hoping to get a lot done during my ~20hrs of travel (bus to chicago, time in airport, and flight time)

3. my newly acquired tribble amuses me

4. i seem to nag on people when they exhibit traits that i hate about myself

5. my love for mint may stem from the fact that i'm a December baby. tis the season for peppermint and other minty treats. mmmm

6. speaking of, i had a wonderful birthday celebration of hot pot and fruit tart. mmm mmm good.

7. yes, i am obsessed over good food

8. i do miss austin's trail of lights. madison's paled in comparison

9. been quite the bum lately, and crashing/falling asleep very quickly

10. tried a couple pushups during a gym class, and wow my chest hurts now. so sadly out of shape

1. current sketchbook progress: 31/80. kinda been slacking, i do a lot more when i have time to kill

2. i need to change my showering habits to nighttime, because the morning cold water is NOT a happy time

3. the holidays make me splurge on gifts for others and myself. good for the season, bad for the wallet

4. i don't react well to other's extreme excitement. brain currently trying to figure out why

5. wheat thins are a glorious munchie

6. i ruined my good poofy jacket by not putting in a front load washer. and the stains didn't even come out! sadness

7. lost at sea by bryan lee o'malley really speaks to my high school self

8. epic mickey (wii) is very interesting. i am sad though the camera angles are not the greatest and gives me headaches after extended play

9. goals before the end of the year: get 70/80 pages done in sketchbook, update my resume, try rock climbing, and hem my pants that have been there over a year...

10. the list of 10 gets harder and harder to write out each time... hmm
