Yesterday was kind of a tough day for my ego. I don't like to think that I'm full of my self but maybe I am. I've learned a valuable lesson that I was hoping I would never have to learn: When you do services for other people, you are putting yourself and your work out there with the possibility of them not liking it. And as an artist this is a tough lesson to learn. But it also helps you figure out how to deal with the situation.
On a different note: I'm super excited for this weekend!!! I'm going to Billings with Tim to pick up my claw foot bathtub that I found on Craigslist! $125 for an antique tub? I think so! It needs a little restoration, but even with that I got a tub that could easily cost a grand for less than half of that! I'm also pretty excited because I'm going to look for a formal dress to wear to the Dad's and Daughter's Ball that my Dad invited my sisters and I to. I'm excited to have a reason to wear a pretty dress : ) Question of the day: Do formal dresses for adults need to be long?
I'm also very excited that I found out yesterday a person I am very close to is getting married and having a baby! If there are two things on this earth I love, it's weddings and babies! If I could get married like once a month and have like 20 kids (but not have to worry about finances lol) I totally would! Hmm. . .I'm trying to decided if Tim will be ok with renewing our vows every month so that I can have like a million weddings. . .he'll probably say no :( Haha
My sister and I took Elliot to story time at the library today. I loved it. He was tired and not really into it. I think the more we go the more he'll like it though. Hopefully next time he'll get a nap in BEFORE!
My quest for skinniness (is that a word? Oh well, I just made it one!) is going. . .Slow. It's ok though, even though I'm still stuck at 3 lbs I've lost 5 inches total. We'll see how far I am by the end of May when it's time to don a bikini. And hopefully by September 17th (the date of my best friend's wedding that I'm in) I'll look slim and stunning in my bridesmaid dress!
This warm weather is putting me in a very happy and optimistic mood and I LOVE it!
For some reason this song feels like it really pertains to me right now so here are the lyrics:
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe"
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
