Day 31 Namaste

Today was the first day of the spring semester.  I'm taking my last science class before I can apply for the nursing program (microbiology) and a double dose of pilates and yoga.  This is going to be the start of my path to leading a healthier life.  Body and Mind.
Make a path for people to follow and invite people to try it out.
My friend Missy and I are taking the class together and another grrl friend Anna wants to start practicing yoga  too. :)
This isn't me but in sixteen weeks time I aspire to be.

Day 30 More than meets the eye

Well, my last day of vacation was uneventful to say the least.  Lazed about and ate junk food. Tomorrow begins a new adventure in learning (microbiology) and getting fit (pilates and yoga.)
Work with toys.
It would be tediously boring to watch two thirty somethings play with Transformers so I'll spare you that part. FYI, these are Jeff's toys but I was able to turn Optimus into a robot ten minutes faster than he was, HAW!
The only time you'll see Nemesis Prime and Optimus Prime on the same side.  To fight Pugzilla!

As Pugzilla kicked Nemesis across the kitchen Prime made his attack!

Yet it doesn't look like any damage was done. I would call this war a draw.  nil-nil.

day 29 Hollywooooood!

Ahhhhh, the last weekend of break and what am I doing? Watching movies on the couch with good friends.  I didn't want to be rude and ignore our company to dive headlong into a project so a simple one for the evening will have to suffice.
Make a disguise for yourself, a pet, a friend, or an object. 
It's time for your close up Ms. Gabor.  No, please ma'am, don't slap me!

Day 28 ahhhh mannnn...

I honestly thought it would take longer than four weeks for me to miss a project day.  Yesterday (the ACTUAL 28th day) was filled with all the fun stuff like dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, and dishes.  Then we had friends over for FTC (Finer Things Club) and ended the night stopping by Beach Grrls to visit a few more friends.  Throughout the day I kept thinking about my project but never got around to it.  I can beat myself up for forgetting or I can get it done and move forward.
Use traditional school supplies to make something non-traditional.

I'll be using this stuff in the traditional way Monday when the spring semester starts but until then....
I'll make sushi.

Day 27 dkjka;ldfjka;fka;

I'm still feeling rundown as all hell and spent the majority of my day hiding in The Cave (aka our bedroom).  I wasn't really up to doing a project but didn't want to miss a day so I half assed something.
"Use a recent dream as inspiration."
Last night this song was the soundtrack to whatever madness was going on in my subconscious.
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
And if you'd 'a took to me like
Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

The only part of my dream I remembered (besides the song) was that I was eating sushi.  So in the spirit of Idle Hands and not wanting to disappoint I went and had sushi for dinner at Joe's.  Yeah, yeah, I stole this image off Google, but whadaya want from a sick grrl?

Day 26 who needs an mp3 player...

Now most of us have some form of digital music player that we carry with us at all times.  An Ipod, a Zune, shoot, even phones can hold a ton of music these days.  Yet, there is something so special about listening to tunes on vinyl.  The popping and richness of a record can't be compared to any other form of recorded music.
"Make something portable that normally isn't."

A portable turntable! Complete with over sized headphones. :)
If only I could listen to the Buzzcocks on vinyl while I'm on the go....

Day 25 A Daisy Chain For Satan

or A Clover Bracelet For Season as the case may be.
I'm still sick.  It wasn't just the Vegas blahs. Boooooo!
"Work with nature. Go to your yard or a nearby park and collect materials to work with."
Clovers are a lot harder to work with than daises. The stems are so delicate!  That is why I only made a bracelet instead of a necklace.
