weekends

There is nothing more I'd rather do tomorrow than go to the pool, sunbathe and swim around lazily. There is nothing less I'd rather do tomorrow than go to my rather unsatisfying job and grind away at the day.

This weekend was absolutely exhausting. The sun was overwhelmingly hot and I ate so poorly, I have nearly given up on losing weight. Work tomorrow does not make for an exciting thing to get up for.

I have lacked any motivation to actually go to work these days. I am learning a crap load about Microsoft programs, various office machines, and general secretarial stuff. It's challenging in the sense that I'm finding out about all this stuff I had no idea how to work before, but it's sadly unsatisfying because it gets me nowhere in terms of a solid, respectable career. Not that there is anything wrong with being a secretary, I just pictured much bigger things for my life after college.

So, in an effort to make the rest of my life more satisfying, I picked up a few crafty-type hobbies. For the first time in my life, I made some real paintings. I picked some colors, bought canvas and brushes and went to town. I sat down for several hours and painted. After some tries, I actually ended up with something I liked. I framed them and will be putting my 2 new pieces of artwork on the wall sometime this week. With these 2 pictures on the wall, I will have set the theme for my bedroom. Once Ryan's parents clear out all their belongings from our apartment, I am diving into some serious nesting. I have stylish organizational storage, a general color scheme for each room and big dreams of a very chic apartment.
