Because campus nights are always a little lonely. Tonight, I'm gettin' really excited about creating a desk space for myself in our new apartment. I spent a long time looking at inspiration/ideas/diy's around the interwebs tonight. Finally, when I found something that was truly me - wholesome, sturdy, light, but not necessarily mint/pink/gold trendy, it made my soul sigh. Have you ever had your soul sigh? It is a beautiful thing.
On downward dog, my heels almost touched the floor tonight. I tell ya, the day that finally happens, it will be magical. Also, whenever we do any kid of pose that relies on shoulder flexibility I am THERE. Anything that relies on any other kind of flexibility or arm/core strength? Ha. I'm the one who gets handed like 3 yoga blocks to modify the modification. Yup, that's me! Proud yogi. Today, I teared up a little when a man that I was working with laid out the facts really clear in front of me. What I was doing was wrong, ineffective, and potentially damaging. I stepped back & followed his instructions. It is hard to see failure in oneself. Buck up, kiddo - lots to come I'm sure. I wish I remembered the sound of my dad's voice. Or even some of his sayings. I know he was the work-hard-play-hard type, but are those the words he used? What compelled him to buy 42 plates from goodwill in the hopes of one day making a mosaic? Why did the allure of fixing ancient vacuum cleaners overpower that mosaic dream? If only I could pick his brain. I think women who have blogs & do DIY's and actually do the construction work themselves are freaking awesome. Not that the ones who say "Jeremy built my dream closet!" aren't worthy bloggers, but I just admire the social-norm-breaking-women who build it themselves. Plus, let's face it, I am way more likely to ever pick up a power tool than Sam is. Just saying. Honestly, I should probably go eat something. And finish the half-done projects strewn around my living room and kitchen. #woops. Thanks for living the everyday with me, friends.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
