Chaos in my life
Messy desk at work
Too much to do!

Seeing Chicago (the musical) last night with my mom
Hanging out with my little brother this week
Lots of help from family
Not staying at work all day!

Sparkles and Scrapes for Friday

Sparkles

• My tulips are just starting to bloom!
• The fence will be completed this weekend... now the puppies can play crazy in the yard instead of the livingroom!
• My mom and I are doing the 5K in the Fargo Marathon tomorrow morning.
• No snow in the near forecast.

Scrapes

• All the inconsiderate people at work.
• Doctor bills.
• The last Blimpies closed! Now we need to find a new restaurant to take the crabbiness away! What a bummer.
• Really tight deadline for all the senior pictures.

Friday Sparkles and Scrapes

Sparkles
It's Friday and I'm looking ahead to a three day weekend!
I've had 3 awesome lia sophia shows this month
Eating at KHB last night... now that's classy!

Scrapes
Freezing my butt off 5 days a week every week (summer too!)
No HR dept at my work
It can't still be this cold, can it? Why do I live here again?

Wednesday Sparkles and Scrapes

Sparkles:
Reconnecting with old friends.
Looking forward to the State Fair!
My elliptical machine.

Scrapes:
Saying, "Tomorrow we really need to mow," for at least 6 days now. Now we REALLY need to mow.
Thinking that it's Thursday when it's only Wednesday.
Having to downgrade from Vista to XP. Boo!

Wednesday Sparkles and Scrapes

Back in high school, the school newspaper had a section called "Feathers and Droppings." Feathers were notably good things going on around the school, and droppings were, of course, the more than ordinarily bad things. I don't know who came up with the lists...one of the school newspaper editors or something I would assume. Anyway, I am going to start my own list, but I am calling mine "Sparkles and Scrapes" since I really have no affiliation to the red bird where the name comes from.
So here it is...my list for the day:

Sparkles
Punching out of work and stepping out into the warm sunshine.
My Pandora radio stations.
Laughing with Alecia & Matt about our old apartments.

Scrapes
Sitting in the office while coworkers take long and lavish vacations.
Feeling like my life is wasting away from 8-5 every day.
Thinking that $2.77 is cheap for a gallon of gas.
