things on tuesday

I've been unbelievably busy of late... I am trying very hard to stay positive and not complain.  I've got a job and we actually have work (unlike many designers) so I need to stay on the positive.  The older I get, the harder that seems to be... so let's start with the positives!

loves
  • tax return!!
  • paying off a credit card
  • a fresh coat of snow
  • Survivor - heros vs. villains
  • KU basketball #1
  • doing some graphic design again
  • New York accents 
  • awesome video find of old Chicago tourism circa 1948
  • finding an awesome bridesmaid dress for a friend's wedding

loathes
  • that I'm always negative - so glass half empty
  • too much to do too little time
  • that I'm very lazy about things I don't really want to do
  • feeling fat
  • no vacation plans yet
  • that all the fun weather that I want to photograph happens during the week when I'm at work
  • when the cat's scratch my deaktop
  • people who aren't team players
  • that I seem to have a pinched nerve in my left shoulder

I will try very hard to not make this all negative... it's been one of those weeks...

loves
  • photos that remind me of beautiful Paris on my desktop
  • getting some good photos in the Nerman Museum
  • spending time w/friends
  • holiday decor
  • funny stories about ridiculous people
  • cool crisp air and fall colors
  • that I am getting to the point of laughing off stressful crap that happens at work

loathes
  • people who are incapable of doing their job
  • people who cannot communicate
  • that I have so much to do that none of it gets done
  • that the neck and shoulder pain has returned
  • that I do not make the time to work out
  • that I don't really like working out - gotta find something that I actually like doing
  • road construction
  • that I have to start wearing socks again - bye bye ballet flats

OK, I'll leave you with that for today.  I could go on and on, but don't want to be a total Debbie Downer.  
xoxo
