today brianna and nate came in for lunch. it was the best lunch i've had in ages. we talked about our jobs and our opinions on things like health care and NASA and whether or not it's ever safe to stand on a ladder on top of a desk. it was nice to have a break from talking about 3 year olds' birthday parties and explaining how power cards work and what the phrases 'revenue minimum' and 'prior to tax and gratuity' mean.

hobbies make me happy. i have spent so much time letting work define who i am and i'm just done with being that person. i suppose to people outside my brain (which would be everybody, except me... in case you were confused) that probably didn't ever seem like it was the case. or maybe i'm lying to myself about how much i let on about how my job controlled me. and to a large extent it still does. my work can greatly affect my mood and happiness level but i'm in a better place with it now.

lastly this picture of my hair:

laurel sent me these satin roses in the mail! they're really great. they also have a ribbon and two more roses. they can be used as a belt or necklace or on your lapel or... in your hair!

i'm going to extend the same offer on my blog. the first five people to comment on this entry will receive a handmade gift from me.
