The last day of 2010.

Yesterday I got my hair cut. I know that isn't a big deal for most people, but it is a major source of anxiety for me. I am afraid that something will happen to make me look so hideous that I can not leave the house. For those who know me, even when I get a haircut you can never tell the difference so it is a pretty unreasonable fear. Anyway, hair is done and all is well.

I went back to the glass fusing studio. I really think I may have found my calling. I love finding color combinations and finding a way to put them together. I never thought that I would find a creative outlet that would work for me. I picked up the piece I made on Monday and it is beautiful. Besides, I get a certain amount of joy from breaking glass.

So, it is New Year's Eve and that doesn't mean much to me other than to avoid sitting by the window to avoid random gunfire. I am going to Whole Foods to get cheese and bread and intend on seeing 2010 while ingesting large amounts of carbs. This has been an amazing year and I can only hope for more.

My life is glamourous.

Nothing at all.

I did absolutely nothing today and kind of enjoyed it. I had big plans, but the only thing I accomplished was laundry and cooking dinner. I got so cold at one point I cuddled up on the couch and called for the cat to come and sleep on my feet. Of course he came to my rescue and a long nap for both of us followed.

The rain turned to snow and it was pretty, but I am very tired of all local news coverage about the weather. It is not even freezing outside, yet you would believe the Apocalypse was upon us. It is just a sad excuse to put the poor underpaid news reporters outside in bad weather. Truly sucks the glamour out of journalism.

I am going to get my hair cut tomorrow. It has been almost a year since I had it cut, so I am in dire need as you can imagine. I don't really have a plan for what I am going to have done, so I will just go with whatever I feel tomorrow.

My life is glamourous.

Christmas is over. Now what?

I thought I would love having time off for winter break once I started teaching, but as it turns out I just feel useless for two weeks. I have to admit that I don't go crazy about Christmas like most people, so I don't get that big rush shopping the days leading up to Christmas. In fact, it actually irritates me that I have to fight huge crowds just go get laundry detergent.

This was my first Christmas with my new husband, and it was actually a great time. Very low key and low stress. It has never been one of my favorite times of year, but I managed to make it through without any tears so that was definitely a plus. Well, not exactly true. Halfway to Tyler I realized I was wearing two different shoes and I had not packed any others. After a quick stop at the shoe store I was the proud owner of yet another pair of sensible shoes and the tears had faded.

So now I have another week and I should be cleaning and packing and organizing, but I just don't want to. I spent the day learning glass fusing and loved every second of it. Could I have found my new calling? There is something quite gratifying about cracking glass. The piece I created today could be used as an example of what not to do, but I will love it anyway.

I am pretty sure there is a Lifetime movie I haven't seen yet on later. My life is glamourous.

Just another day

Since my life is "oh so fabulous" every day, I thought I would share it for those who don't live the glamourous life.
