What is the deal with Pinterest? We hung out with some friends tonight and I asked. I have the app & yet didn't use it. Finally tried/started today.
Pretty cool actually. I love seeing all sorts of different random things. Despite my love of organizing, I also love spontaneity & kismet. I'm up sniffly, in pain & not sleeping at 5am on a Saturday morning, but at least I'm entertained.
Had a very rough week, but it ended well. We had to lay off people at work, me and my department included. It was my first and I've only been a manager 3 months. Fast & furious. Considering everything it went relatively smooth. It was a bit like hunting with a tranquilizer. Sad and quiet without as much drama as I feared. Anyway I think now all the stress is finally releasing and I'm sniffly and it's that time, yeay.
So as some chicken soup for my soul, Pinterst. Here's to sharing art & beautiful things.

Hair
My coworker got his beard & ponytail haircut, and decided to sport a stache. I love I can show through drawings. He sported the Kevin Smith Jesus look and then ended up looking like a cop. It was shocking & fun & totally brightened & livened my day.
A bright spot in an overall awful work day.
Here's to awesome people I wok with!

Whiteboard
So I like being artistic, but I don't like wasting paper or taking up space. So... I whiteboard. Got myself a cool little whiteboard with a frame, some dry erase markers, and go. I like it cuz a lot of my doodles are crap & not worth keeping. Some are cute & worth updating or revising. I can easily fix pictures and take photos of the ones I like when I'm done.
A little poem came to mind with this one. Hallmark is jealous right now.
Some goofy doodles of snails in love & circus rides with feet. I may eventually come up with a kid's story, some characters & illustrate a little book via photos. Or I may draw a dragon one day. Who knows? But for now, silly doodles that are very important in keeping my spirit and soul alive.
Bathroom Art
We had these frames from Ikea we never used. Finally decided to get creative & artsy by painting this weekend. I did the red frame flowers. Husband fingerprinted. Both look pretty cool :) not perfect, not mind blowing, but better than what we had before :)
Also we put up a little shelve under my painting.
Go art!

No Photo
I had a serious case of the blues this week. Just overall depressed about my job and how much it's stressing me out. I realize that I'm not handling my stress very well. Overall my life is actually pretty good. We just had a lovely day getaway at Ventura and spent a beautiful morning driving up PCH to Santa Barbara. It was just gorgeous, yet I am dreading Monday (who isn't?) but it feels like, I can't handle it anymore. I've seriously thought about asking for a demotion, but as husband says, I'm probably just getting used to the new job and yes it's true, I've left on time or early a lot last week, so it seems like it's getting better.
So, what to do? Husband says to treat myself to something fun/nice over Monday so it's not so harsh. Also I get to use my new handbag. Yes I think I have an unhealthy obsession with handbags that can get rather expensive. Also, I may treat myself to lunch at Yamato's and something else fun for dinner perhaps.
Other needs - need to focus on my health and exercise. Got to get into some kind of creative classes. Also, just need to not give up. Honestly, I feel sometimes I just hate everything and want to start all over. It could just be hormonal, but sometimes it just feels like a long dark tunnel, without any light. It's a little rough, and I wonder if there's something chemical going on. Need to detox.
Anyway no photo today. Just me typing on a keyboard. A nice change considering most of the time i'm on a phone when I post. Lots of cute photos to come from our trip this weekend. Also, just... have to find a way to keep going.
I think I may need my girlfriends. It's been a very busy but incredibly fruitful year. Just hoping to keep sane and well, I really need a lift in my spirits. Should probably go to church more often too.
I'm thinking the time change probably messed up my time clock too and all last week was a bit of a struggle.
Crossing fingers and praying I am not miserable this week. Let it be a wonderful glorious and positive week. Amen.
