I Could Burn The Building Down

I know I've mentioned how unattractive my office is before, but it's due time to grumble about it again. So...it's unattractive. I try to hide the aesthetic ickiness of it, but sometimes there is only so much my paintings and other quirky bits can mask.

So, imagine my reaction when my boss mentioned looking into moving offices! The grin on my face could only be equalled by a golden retriever puppy in a room full of people lying on the floor. Oh, the possibilities!

Before I go completely off the deep end, let me say that being a non-profit teen shelter, we can't really afford to keep paying such an obscene rent for an office space. So, it's for the good of the agency.

Okay. Yay!

So, we looked at a few options. A couple were worse. A couple were okay. Then we found it.

A cute little place about 2 minutes from our current place of business. It's a wee house that would make such an adorable office. Not to mention that the wall colors are glorious and totally work with all of my art. It's like 350 bucks cheaper a month. It has an adorable back yard with a privacy fence, and a pregnant kitty. It also has a kitty door! This is very important to me, people. Do you know what this means?! An office kitty for meeeeeeeeee! Although said kitty might get lonely on the weekends. Hmm. This is still in the slightly psychotic pondering stage.

So, yeah. If we move into this joint, be prepared for mad pictures. Well, not mad as in mad. You know what I mean. Yay!

P.S. I doubt we'll get an office kitty, but let me dream.

List Lust II

It's that time again, folks. Not that I've been too dependable thus far, but it's that time nonetheless! The plan is to post some list love every Wednesday. So, here goes...a pitiful attempt at 11PM to keep up with my own expectations. The theme? Things that I love that are...green! That's one right there. I just love green! Excited? Yeah. I'm not so sure I am either, but I'm going with it.

1. I love my little quirky love bird. Not quite peach faced, but peach browed.
2. I love me some green muppets. I was even Oscar the Grouch for Halloween one year. I was like 6, and my garbage can rocked!

3. The Kakapo is my favorite bird in the world. Flightless and clumsy looking, they are owl-like and awesome.

4. Of all the things you can do with an avacado, guacamole is tops! Mmmm.

5. Grass is a given, even though it has harbored many an enemy of mine. Bees, ants, chiggers...but I forgive it.

6. Oh, the fuzzy, seedy goodness that is a kiwi fruit.

7. Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Ohm nom nom.

8. Tiny. Green. Iridescent. Buggies.

9. Pickles are cucumbers soaked is sweet, puckery evil.

10. And I saved the best for last. Johnny Depp's only opponent(besides my lovely and quite adorable husband)...Kermie.


Alright. I've successfully managed to post before midnight. Muahahahaha.

What's your favorite green thing? Oh, do tell.

Should I Write A Book?

Yesterday I made a Facebook post in an attempt to deal with some obsessive thoughts I was having, thoughts I have often, that drag me down. ...
