One of the things that has been helping me live my life now instead of too far into the future is taking a weekly inventory. What is going on today? This week? Instead of thinking too much about what is potentially going to be happening next month or even next year. So here it goes.
Currently-
Grateful: For my entire life. Lately, I had spent so much time trying to change everything about it and I never really appreciated all the good things. I am 24. I have an amazing job. A place to live. A supportive family. And my handful of friends that are beyond exceptional. Also, Currently I am extremely grateful for Pig Train. The best coffee (or dirty chai) known to mankind.
Determined: To find the perfect cape for my Halloween costume. Yes, I said cape. I bet all of you can only assume who I am dressing up as. Myself.
Finishing: The last few details for Ben's birthday extravaganza. I am definitely the best birthday fairy around.
Laughing: At the Tinderella Blog posts. Seriously, if this girl can't find her prince charming in the Big Apple, how does anyone expect me to find mine in Menver? I know I would be better off in Rural Montana. Men can at least grow beards up there. The non-hipster type.
Clearing: Out my closet of all the summer dresses and moving in the bulky sweaters and leggings. Boot season is my favorite season after all.
Turning: Up the volume every time Casey James hits the radio. I will never forget the evening he told me I smelled good.
Plotting: Against the guy at the end of the hall with a pet pig. At first I thought the pig was adorable but that thing squeals louder than a four year old boy in a haunted corn maze.
Finalizing: My sketch of my next painting I plan on gifting across the country. I am the least creative person on this planet, yet I find myself painting for good friends.
Planning: Out every detail of the Thanksgiving meal I am going to attempt to prepare. I can't quite conquer grilled cheese, but this entire meal is going down. Don't worry, just in case, I am ordering a Whole Foods meal as a back up plan and will attempt to pass it off as my own. (To anyone who knows me, I am the farthest thing from a planner, but this meal needs to be perfect). I also hope the two gentlemen that I will be cooking for do not choose this entry to start tuning in on my blog. Note: I know this may be going against my "living in the now" mentality, but I really am shooting for an amazing meal.
Happy: That tomorrow is the weekend. Definitely.
Thankful: For Advil and Ice. The change of seasons strongly dislikes all of the titanium in my right leg.
Ready: For face painting in the office tomorrow. This woman can work miracles.
Wondering: If anyone else noticed the elephant shaped cloud that was over Union Station today. Elephants are my favorite.
Excited: About my Batman shoes. They are the most uncomfortable, beautiful, and bad ass shoes that I own. Beauty is pain. These shoes are worth it.
Stay ferocious my friends.
Until next time,
xx
