Today Was

Today was…
{2014}

Fine. I got a DP from a co-worker since I was asked to work all day for her tomorrow. It was long, slow, boring, frustrating, funny, entertaining, and relaxing. All rolled into almost 24 hours. I am quite tired though. I don't think going to bed early helps my case there.

Meet...Sarcastic

Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best today and why?

{2013} :: {2014}

Funny, since I worked on a Snow White birthday invitation for a customer today...but I think I'm going to invent a new dwarf, and his/her name with be Sarcastic. That about sums me up.

Where I Go

Where did you go today?

{2013} :: {2014}

Well, goodness. this is a tough one. On a Tuesday? Where did I go? I took Greg to work, came home, went to work, picked up Greg, then back to the home. Same thing, every....single....day!

Habit Breaking

What habit of yours would you most like to eliminate?

{2013} :: {2014}

Biting the dead skin from my lips, or licking my lips because they are constantly dry. It's so annoying, hurts my lips, and I'm sure is terribly unattractive. I need to stop that, like yesterday!

Photo: I should do a side by side comparison of my fingers from last year. I had a nasty ulcer on my finger this time last year, and happy to say I haven't had one since! Yay! #scleroderma Also I rarely paint my fingernails, but when I do, it's the brightest possible color. And another also, I am totally digging the time change. It had been so amazing to get out off work and not feel like it's 7:00. Love it. #thankyoudaylightsavings

Life in One Word

Choose a word that best describes your life up to this moment. Why?

{2013} :: {2014}

I think in past years I was describing my current life in one word. I think that's easier to do than sum up the last 28.5 years. So my life currently: Disappointed.

Of course this is just in one aspect of my life, but it is affecting a lot of my feelings. Disappointment in decisions that were made, that really shouldn't have been. Disappointment in not getting answers. Disappointment for others. Disappointment for myself. Disappointment in the company I work for. Quite a bit of disappointment in that area.

Headline

What was the biggest headline in the news today, and what are your thoughts?

{2013} :: {2014}

I'm not sure it's the BIGGEST highlight, however it is pretty big for Wyoming fans. The men's basketball team won their conference, so they are going to the "big dance." First time since 2002 I think, so that's pretty neat. I guess. If you follow that type of stuff. Proud to be from Wyoming! (Especially since they beat USU in the opening round!)

The Time of Me

How much ‘me’ time did you get today?

{2013} :: {2014}

I got enough. I have about 2 hours before work, and then I had a little bit after and late last night after Greg had gone to bed. It wasn't like, soak in a hot tub, have a pedi done time, but just alone, listen to the music I want to listen to time.

Photo: I've never had so many jokes about pizza as I did today. #pizzaoffering #iamhilariouslyfunny

Sounds of Now

List the sounds you are hearing right now

{2013} :: {2014}

A little MUCH needed "water cooler talk" - Don't judge. If only you knew!
Whatever music is playing on the Pandora station
Angry and upset co-workers (reasonably so)
Some sniffles from holding back tears
The occasional sarcasm coming from my mouth

Photo: I need sleep, and about fifty Zoloft. And I will not accept your "peace offering". You can't buy my love! #bigbadwolf

Anywhere

If you could snap your fingers and appear somewhere else, where would you be?

{2013} :: {2014}

I most desperately want to be at the beach. Any beach, where it's warm of course! I just want to sit in the sand and watch the ocean. I don't see much of anything like that around here.

Photo: You'd think loyalty would mean something. Apparently not, which makes me wonder what the purpose of being a hard worker is....#suchislife #letitgoletitgo

Valuable

What is the most valuable thing you own?

{2013} :: {2014}

I own a lot of valuable photos, as well as some heirlooms from my Great-Grandmother. I love that my house has a display case right as you walk in the door for them to be on display (and safe).

Photo: Signing off with a shot of my feet from the weekend. You can't tell but they are all sorts of purple. Also, weird random thing. This morning when my alarm was going off, in my mind I was turning off my alarm, but in real life it wasn't working. It really was a struggle for me to make that connection and realize that just because I think I'm doing it doesn't mean I actually am. #lifeissohard #somuchformysuperpowers

 

Last Listened To

What is the last song you listened to?
{2014}

It was most likely "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. I quite love his slower songs.

Photo: After a super fun weekend with my weirdo family, I'm back to my boring ol' routine. #blphotochallenge

To Never Do

List three things on your to do list that never seem to get done.

{2013} :: {2014}

1 -- Exercise / stretch
2 -- My crafty ideas
3 -- Travel

Photo: When you get home at 2 am and don't go to sleep until 3 am, and your dad says, "let's just sleep in and not go to church" I will take that literally. Obviously I'm the only one who did....

How Clean?

On a scale of 1-10, how clean is your house? (10 being the cleanest) 

{2013} :: {2014}

It's about 7. We are doing better at staying organized and keeping things clean. Just don't go in the side room where we stash everything! :)
 

Save or Spend

Are you saving or spending?

{2013} :: {2014}

Well, I spend money on bills, and occasionally on a random item of clothing every now and then, however, we are doing well at saving, just too bad it's not enough. It's never enough!

Photo: This kid has ball control like no other. Seriously. Weaving in and out of people. I was quite impressed! #5 #heismybrother #cokevillepanthers #wyomingstatebasketball

First Thing I Ate

What was the first thing you ate or drank today?

{2013} :: {2014}

First things first, omeprozale and water, followed by Raisin Bran, a breakfast shake, Cellcept, Domperidone, Zoloft, and Prednisone.

Same deliciousness, different day!

Photo: In the Casper of Wyoming to watch my baby brother play his last games of his high school career. I'm so happy I could be here. It's been many many years since my last time at the Event Center. #wyomingstatebasketball

Three Attractions

List three attractions in your current city you have never visited, but would like to see this year.

{2013} :: {2014}

Man, I'd really bad with this one. I still haven't really even tried any local eateries. So I think one of these days I need to just sit down and make a list of the places that I'd like to try. I've heard there are a few really good ones. It's just a matter of getting Greg to take me!

Sentimental Value

What is something you have that is of sentimental value?

{2013} :: {2014}

I think pictures is still a good answer. I must be getting old, but I have a hard time remember things that have happened, so luckily I have pictures to be able to help remind me and job my memory. That's why I take so many random pictures. I need to remember!

Photo: Snowed a lovely bit. #winter #untilitmeltedbyafternoon

Talent

If you could have a new talent, what would you want?

{2013} :: {2014}

I would love to be able to decorate homes and know the best use of space, and colors, and all that fun stuff. My house is in serious need of a makeover!

Photo: Sometimes it snows in Utah. At least the grass is green. #ornot

Fave Day of the Week

What is your favorite day of the week and why?

{2013} :: {2014}

Fridays are always nice, because it's the last day of the work week.
Mondays aren't really too bad. Beginning of a new week.

I don't really have a favorite. They all have good, they all have bad. Such is life!

Photo: Selfie. I was hurrying to get the hubs behind me, thus I look super attractive. #blphotochallenge My nose is red from being outside, and I think that's the most my forehead has wrinkled in a long time. (One of the perks of #scleroderma 😉)
