One of the best things I did while I was in Chicago was decorate a bus stop shelter. April and I went to Party City and bought balloons, confetti, garland, streamers, and party hats. Then we met up with Jes, Lauren, and Kira and found the bus stop we wanted to...
#84 on my 100 Ways To Be Creative list is to set an alarm on your phone (or other electronic device) to celebrate something special that happened today. The idea is that you do something awesome and then next year, when you've completely forgotten, you get a little...
#33 on my 100 Ways To Be Creative list is to not stay seated for too long. This is meant to be a more general one, encouraging people (like myself) to not sit on the couch for hours and hours. While it's true that I can get a lot done while sitting on my couch and...
On my trip to Chicago, I visited the best store I've ever been in. I know people are always like "oh my god, this is my favorite song" or "that was the best store EVER!", but I'm completely serious when I say this was the best store. It was a wonderland. It's called...
#95 on my 100 Ways To Be Creative list is to create natural artwork, like with rocks or flowers. When I was in Chicago, April and I went to the Morton Arboretum. It was beautiful and massive and a great place to check this activity off. I wasn't sure what I was going...
Last night I got back from a four day trip to Chicago. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken. I went to see my friend, April. I visited her back in 2010, and we did a lot of the famous touristy things that there are to do in that great city. This time, we just...
One of my goals for 2013 was to get a tattoo. For the record, I have a very small teal star on my right ankle. But because it's so small, I always feel like I have to disclaim that when I'm asked if I have any tattoos. I don't feel that way anymore! Now I can proudly...
Perspective is a funny thing. And it can hit you on either end. Right now, I'm trying to find the good in stuff, and to be aware of the important factors of everything. I'm extremely looking forward to my trip to Chicago this weekend, as I think it's exactly what I...
#90 on my 100 Ways To Be Creative list is to decorate mirrors with dry erase markers. I actually did this a very long time ago, but I never posted about it. One day, when it was raining, I went to the community college campus and walked around to all the different...
Lots of mail coming and going lately. This is going to have to last you for two weeks, because next Monday I'll be in Chicago! Also, I'm testing out a different kind of display for photographing my mail. I had previously hung a bunch of yarn on the side of my house,...
