Mopey Mandi, No More

#1 Okay, so the test wasn't great; it's time to quit moping.

#2 I had a request for a custom order on Toodle-ooo, which is quite fun. Here's the result, a little giraffe with an Arabic label. I love it!


#3 It's officially my birthday week, and so far I've received two lovely gifts. The first was a stack of 71 colors of felt from my dear husband. He's so bad at keeping surprises and just had to give me one early gift. 71 colors of felt! Can you even imagine all the cutting fun just waiting to be had?
The second gift was a beautiful set of note cards from my forever friend. The cards are made by hand by women in Bangladesh trying to make a living. Super cute, and working to save the world. It's a very nice birthday so far, my 24th.

Blast You Snow and Ice

So this morning I went to clear the snow and ice off the car in order to take it to the dealership to get fixed. After letting it run for a half hour and scraping for a half hour until I thought my fingers would break, my ice scraper did break. Frustration. Much irritation. I was going to take a picture of it to enhance my post, but I just didn't have the patience. Now after taking it in to the dealership and waiting over two hours for it to be fixed, I am home and in a very blah mood. It's almost time to drive to Edwardsville for class, a trip that takes an hour and a half in good weather.

Let's all take a moment to feel sorry for me.

Done.

Thank you for your kind attention.
