Things

I turned 23 on the 11th. Wazoooo! I've decided that after you turn 21, birthdays are pretty boring.

I ordered a mountain bike, and it's coming THIS WEEEEEK!! It's a Cannondale, and I got it for a STEAL! Thank you prodeal.

Here it is:

White isn't my top choice, but for the price, I could care less about the color!

I did more training at work, which is good and also slightly intimidating. There's a lot to know about camping and climbing and cycling and gps units and fitness watches and camp stoves and sleeping bags and tents....a lot to know. I hope I'm up to it!

My bedroom is a constant disaster. It's less of a bedroom and more of a studio with a bed in it. It's the place where my creative brain explodes, and it's not always pretty. Ugghgh.....uh well.

I've been painting a lot, which is always good. I feel like I'm improving in regard to my skill level, if only a little bit. It's encouraging.

I need a shower. My bathroom is filthy. I need to wash my clothes. Normal stuff, normal life.

But it's a good normal.

I'M GETTING A MOUNTAIN BIKE IN A FEW WEEKS I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T WAIT TO RIDE IT AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

This one:

Cannondale Trail Women's 6. ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?!? Let's hope I don't break all my body.

If I don't post anything on here for a while, it's because I'm currently working on 5 paintings for some friends and family. I often get wrapped up in my art, but lately I've become obsessed with painting and drawing. I'm determined to become the best artist I can be, and that means devoting most of my time to practicing. It also means taking as many hours as I can at work so I have monies to feed this expensive passion of mine. .....and to buy a mountain bike. :) So long, social life. (Ha. Like I have a social life to say goodbye to. hahah!)

Eat all the gummy bears!

(Secret sharing time: The best gummy bears can be found at WinCo. I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT STORE. Bulk food. It's my secret love affair.)
