Some quick awesome things
1. The people at the print center gave me free prints today. Very stoked about that kindness. Thank you print center people! I hope your evening got less hectic after I left. :)
2. M has a day off tomorrow! That means no early alarm clock (except for the kitty kind, which can be louder than the kind you plug into the wall!).
3. I am getting ready to eat crinkle fries. I haven't eaten crinkle fries in sooo long, I think I might need to chew VERY slowly and savor the ridges! This will be yummy and maybe worth mentioning again in a future post!
4. A funny thing -- there was a line of teenagers at the technology/movies area in the big, un-mentionable store down the road from us (it has a "Super" in the name and the last part of it rhymes with "fart.") They were waiting for some video game release happening at midnight (which meant they had a LOT of waiting left to do!) and there was a CAKE for these people, decorated with some video game characters (or something... I'm not entirely sure. M saw the cake, and I just saw the cake box from afar because I was too embarrassed to actually approach the roped-off area where the teenagers were standing!)
5. Mo decided he wanted to get into M's pants! When M took off his work pants to change, Mo jumped onto them and snuggled into M's left over warmth. Weird, but funny! (You probably had to see it.)
6. I put my Formspring up in the sidebar of the blog... so ask me a question!
That's it for now! Buh-bye!

Cure the grumps with a happy list
I am feeling grumpy. I have a headache. And the I burnt the cookies. Again! I cannot get used to this weird oven in this new apartment. I made 3 great trays of squishy, yummy-looking cookies tonight, and then I sat down at my sketchbook on the last 2 trays. In a heap of drawing and distraction, I let them go too long.
So I'm going to do what I've been doing for years and years to focus on good things, and that is to make a happy list. I've done this as far back as I can remember-- make lists of things that I love, that make me smile and feel good. I have filled multiple blank books with mine and others' happy things. The lists need to keep going, though, because they seriously cheer me up.
So... without further ado... my November 7, 2010 Happy List!
1. Cuddling underneath M's armpit to steal his heat. It got COLD all of the sudden outside, and our place got chillllly! M has the best warmth, and he always generously shares with me. (Thank you, M!)
2. In the middle of the cuddle, Mo decided he felt left out and jumped up on the couch to join us. We were a family again.
3. The apartment smells nice and baked-in, even though the cookies were burnt.
4. D came over tonight and helped me settle a few scores with the blog. Thank you, D!!!
5. I drew a funny picture of a woman with lights wrapped in her tree-shaped hair:

6. Speaking of lights, we got the prettiest lantern and it was all M's idea! He wanted something I wanted but did not say aloud, and so we splurged a teensy bit on this candy-colored lovely that holds a scented tea light and now hangs in front of a big mirror in our living room.
7. I have plans for a few cool things for my store soon. I hope to get a couple of them finished within the next day or so!
8. I was sent the sweetest message last night that I cannot stop thinking about. The woman who sent it to me means so much to me, and we haven't even met! I can't wait until the day I actually get to meet her.
9. My pink slipper boots are hideous, but they are so, so warm!
10. I think I may do the 30 for 30 thing starting tomorrow, but un-announced. It's an exercise where you take 30 pieces of clothing from your closet and create outfits only from those pieces to wear in the next 30 days. Everything else is off-limits, and no shopping is allowed (not that I can shop... we need to be able to pay rent!)
If I come up with awesome outfits, I may post them, but that is doubtful, as I am still a bashful girl.

And that is it for now. Sleep tight and be well.
