 "I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. We whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against ( Read more... )

I'm pretty proud of myself!  At the gym I've graduated from the treadmill to the elliptical, which is such a better workout for me.  I'm doing a half hour as opposed to 45 mins on the treadmill.  I'll work my way up.  It's an amazing workout and I feel like I can do anything now.

The glass store was open so I went and spent almost $100 on glass and supplies.  I glass mosaic vintage wood framed panel windows.  The window I am working on now has a pale pink frame and is already turning out so well!  I can't wait until it's sunny out and I can take a picture of my progress!
