I've been so busy this week preparing for the upcoming trunk shows! I've found myself continuing to put my art needs before my basic needs, such as hunger, hence part of the reason why I have a headache right now. Yet somehow I can only muster cutting pieces of pepperjack cheese. Someone please help! I'm tempted to order pizza, but keep thinking that I'm going to be in my hometown in mere days and I would hate to erase all the (I'm sure) dramatic results I've seen from 2 full weeks of running.

I'm also trying to keep my apartment somewhat clean, since I'll be getting back from South Dakota on the 25th of July and moving 6 days later. That's a little stress-inducing in itself, but I'm trying to convince myself that I'll have a FULL WEEK to pack. And a full Saturday, even. I may just be deluding myself and could possibly be found pulling an all-nighter a few Saturdays from now.

Got in a fender bender this morning. My fault backing out of a parking space into a sweet girl with a tiny car.

The first thing I said is, "I am an asshole!" Then she gave me a hug. There are some truly kind hearts in this world. I feel like I should make up a gift basket full of presents and give it to her just for being so nice to me.

Needless to say my car has a big green paint streak along the back. Meanwhile, she's got a sweet little dent in her passenger door. It's pretty little, but still- it's a dent and I wish the damage were reversed so I wouldn't spend today feeling like such a shit!

I'm cooking crinkle-cut french fries at 10:30 on a Monday night. This is dinner. It's not that I don't have the makings for enchiladas or stir fry. Oh, no. It's just that my obsession with cutting stained glass into enchanting little squares and rectangles surpasses basic needs such as thirst and hunger. I love that I feel this passionate about something, but it makes me feel like a crazy woman as I check the clock and discover it's half-past ten and I've yet to eat. And speaking of eating- can you believe that I've forgone the term Supper and now say Dinner? For the record, it's still bag, but I now say soda. But with the long and sometimes obnoxious South Dakota "o," so I think that means I'm still okay.

So I haven't had the chance to call my friend Tracie, but was so excited to receive her wedding invite today! It's is so pretty. I'm not sure if it's made to look handmade, or if it's handmade but handmade so well I can't tell the difference- but either way it's white and orange with lovely textured paper and a pressed flower. So sweet. And her fiance has a neat middle name- Mariano. Brandon's middle name is Clark which may very well be the opposite of Mariano in someone's world.

Okay, so this lack of food is making me a bit crazy. Must go procure my FF's.

Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things. Frank A. Clark

So excited!!!
