in a grey, grey room

it has been a rainy few days up here in northern illinois! such weird weather...it's almost february and yesterday was 60 degrees. I slept with the windows open last night. how crazy! I'm super sick of being wet and frizzy, though. thick, curly hair does not agree with humidity!

my work is a few miles away from my house and I don't have a parking pass, so I have to bike there each day. I know it's good for me because I get mandatory exercise every day regardless of the weather, but it's a huge pain and I complain about it incessantly. I've had a recent dream of buying a little scooter (I love the Buddy from the Genuine Scooter Co. so cute!) so I can scoot to work. motorcycle passes are only $15! plus I think it'll be good for when I move to Chicago and I don't have my car anymore. mostly I just want a cute little scooter.

hello work....


a nice unflattering photo of me in our weird yellow bathroom. this is how I look when I feel like a wet dog.


there's never been a ton of people at my job who drink coffee--they're mostly tea people--so I never got to drink it at work. however, my coworker Rob's wife had a baby this summer, so he's been hitting the coffee hard the last few months! it's been great having a fresh pot of coffee already brewed in the morning when I come in. thanks Rob.


 so it's safe to say these shoes are ruined....good thing they were only like $5 on sale from urban outfitters. I have a couple bones to pick with urban....I don't really shop there unless I can find a super reasonable deal on the sales rack. their prices are just insane and the quality is definitely not worth the money!
ahh, I'm getting paid this weekend for the first time in a month. it's going to be glorious. I'm going clothes shopping! I'm so sick of all my clothes...everything is all torn up and dumb. can't wait!


on a totally unrelated note, one of my goals for "life" is to get back to drinking a smoothie every day. they're so tasty and healthy! I don't eat much (or any) fruit on its own, so this is a great way to get all my antioxidants and such in and not feel like I'm eating a boring apple. plus it tricks me into thinking I'm getting dessert and I don't get crazy cravings for cake and ice cream. this one was raspberry, mango, peaches, cherry flavored greek yogurt, and a pinch of sugar.


on monday night I finally resigned myself and did my screen print. I've been so lazy lately...or I guess just interested in other things. 

gold ink! fun!


I made the WORST print. I don't mind because it's the first project and really meant to get your feet when than anything else (literally, you get soaked in serigraphy). this was a redo of a 3 color woodcut from last semester. definitely looked better with three colors. oh well! my next one will be better. I don curr.
