I woke up this morning in Vancouver, quieter than Seattle with vivid flowers in bloom in the backyard. I don't know why but I felt gross this weekend. I forgot some clothes and was a little disorganized in Seattle. After a cup of coffee, it felt amazing to take a shower, shave my legs, and lotion my body. I threw on a skirt and hopped back on the job hunt. I checked in with Starbucks, Ross, Hancock Fabric, and Target. It was semi successful- I have an interview at Hancock Fabrics tomorrow.
I was given compliments today by my friend, friend's mom and a complete stranger. A sweet woman walking into Ross held the door for me and said, "You look cute!" It was incredibly nice and I felt as though heaven were encouraging my spirit forward. What can I say? A complete stranger made my day.
While I was at Target I stumbled upon some things. Money is tight, but I could not resist the urge to buy a birthday card for C, stickers for my nieces, and a coloring book and crayons for myself. Yes, that's right. I feel a strong urge to color. It's relaxing to me, and I have secretly been planning a crayon box purchase for days. I decided on Dora and a basic 24 crayon box.
I may not be extremely worldly ambitious right now, but there are a few things I'm aiming to accomplish.
1. More sun... More walking, exploring... both Vancouver and Portland
2. Coloring
3. Card sending
4. Recipe collecting in my new blank cookbook that will help me be organized with recipes I love
5. More bird watching
6. More listening to music
7. More reading
8. More looking at the world
9. Get M to plug in Rosetta Stone Spanish and do it!
