I'm half happy/half sad I didn't find this site before my wedding. I love love love the bouquets SO much, but the cost of a small one is more than I spent on centerpiece and bouquet flowers!
I'm making these rolls right now. My favorite part is where they "jump out of the bowl and helps itself to a gin and tonic". LOL!! But seriously, they rise FAST!
I love Kendi. She talks about living in Texas a lot, if I ever find out where, I might go visit and try to convince her to be my new BFF.
I need to buy some boots. But once again, my expensive taste is not meeting my budget. I'll have to start eBay-ing. You know, for the one week every year it's cold enough to wear boots...

Design Your Life... Or at Least Your Cubicle
Work has been a bit blah as of late. Except for the power outage yesterday, that was exciting. So I have been thinking of ways to make my day more exciting. So far the best thing I can think of is to decorate my cubicle (it turns out starting a fight club at lunch is frowned upon, who knew?). I've been trying to find ideas, so far the coolest things I have found are here and here.
I think these might all be a little far out, even if I would love to feel like I was in the jungle all day. I might have to invest in some cubicle wallpaper though.

The Saga of the Piano
For some reason this weekend I was thinking about all the moves my piano has made in it's time with me. And since I get to write about whatever I want, here it is!
1) I get the piano from my sister. She got it from my grandma. It is moved into my second story apartment.
2) Paino is moved from the apartment into a co workers house as I will be homeless for a few weeks until my apartment is reacy.
3) Apartment ready! Piano moved. First floor this time, thank goodness!
4) I move out of the apartment (turns out I hate living alone) and there is no room in my new place. Piano moves to friends house.
5) I am leaving for the summer to work at the Grand Canyon. Friends are moving too. Piano moves to another friends apartment.
6) I come back from the summer and move the piano to the trailer, where it stays for two years (it's longest stop yet!).
7) Move to Phoenix. Live on the third floor. Don't have friends to help move. Piano stays at parents house.
8) Move into house in Phoenix. Rent a van, pick up the piano, move it in.
9) Move to San Antonio. Load piano in the U-Haul, take it to first house.
10) Move out of house into an apartment. Realize after having it hauled up a flight of stairs that going the back way does not have any stairs. Oh well.
11) Tia buys a house. Piano is moved with the help of a piano dolly (best thing ever!). Piano is tuned for the first time in 7 years.
12) Moved into Steve's apartment. Signed a lease for 14 months, so it will be in one place for a while!

Taking Advice
I've been thinking today about all the advice I give out on a daily basis. Students call, email, or drop by to tell me what's going on with them (sometimes I wonder if they make stuff up to get out of class, how many times can you get divorced/your grandmother get ill/your work hours get increased?) and I listen, ask probing questions (can you tell me more about that?), and then try and help. If I followed even half of the advice I give out, I would be much better off.
A few pieces of advice I should take myself:
1) Look at all your options and figure out what will work best for you.
2) Life happens- give yourself a break now and then.
3) Make a schedule! Set days for personal time, and time for work. Don't let one take over the other.
4) Ask questions. The worst they can do is tell you no.
What I really do:
1) Do what is easy. So what if you're screwing up your future? You get to sleep in now! Hard work may pay off later, but procrastination pays off now!
2) When something goes wrong, cry, and then make ambitious plans on how to correct the problem.
3) Do whatever, whenever. Put important things off, and let them stress you out so you don't even enjoy relaxing.
4) Never ask a question. Don't even try to return the ugly wedding gifts, what if they tell you no??
