Proof

Rock gym aftermath. Proof that I occasionally have rough hands.

And another pic from today:

I like how the tiny ice cubes freeze together and form mini icebergs. Even though this happens pretty much every day I still manage to spill ice water on myself all the time when the 'bergs break up.

Hello again, Interwebz.

Its technically spring but cold and sleeting outside. I think staying in and trying to finish off these cookies was a good idea after all. Also, I did not try to make that pile of cookies look like a heart, but they totally do.

I 've seen this poster every day for months on the staircase in the bus station. I still don't understand what possessed someone to make the edit that they did, but I appreciate the minimalist nature of the graffiti. Who hates having a mind? Weirdos.

The only good thing about being sick is remembering how good you had it yesterday.

I ventured out to get some lunch and saw this cool balloon. I love when they are at this hovering stage, not enough helium to make it to the ceiling but just enough to stay afloat. Just hanging out, being a cool balloon.

The perfect compliment to my morning snooze session is always the snowblower right outside my bedroom window.

"There you go, having fun at work again."  As I run in circles around this tree to create a pattern with my footprints, while we are on a meter collection route. This is the life.

1.5 hours late for work? There's still time for breakfast.
