Tenth

Hey hey,
How are you?? Its been forever and a day. I have been thinking about you and wanting to come spend some time with you but just have not made the time. (Due to the lack there of). I have a new full time job and I am so exhausted by the end of the day mentally that I cant think any more. Hopefully when the car situation here at my house gets sorted then I can maybe get to the gym during the week and get my body back into shape. This somehow will help me get back into some sort of a routine I suppose and then I will choose a night once a week where I will write. Wow that sounds very thought out, and to think I thought of it just now lol. The weather is really turning into "hi lets stay outside and never return inside again". Maybe I'll go for a bike ride or two. I am lucky to have no windows at my job where I sit. I say lucky because I can be somewhat of a daydreamer and If  I could see how beautiful it is while I attempt to work I might not get that much done.Dreaming of the warmth of the sun and how it would feel on my face if I were to be sitting outside in my back yard. I can hear my niece saying Tia blow more bubbles please. Sigh enough of that. So what I did is I bought myself a plant to keep me somewhat sane and I'll share a picture her. I sit her in the hall over the weekends as she enjoys the indirect sunlight from the sky lights.
 

 

Here is Miss Pretty

Also I put some lifts under my screens at work not a dramatic lift but it was enough to give my neck somewhat of a relief. here I'll show you them as well.

These are the books I had taken out from under the screen

I put these under my right screen and

These under the left screen.

I feel much better and they look fun. I had second thoughts that someone might say something about them not being about work. However if you go into our break room or our Lobby you will see stacks and stacks of these good reads. So I think I'm safe.
I am at work so much that Its very important to me that my desk be visually appealing, not sure why I just go with it and I am happy =)

I painted my dresser as well, I don't know if this is TMI but I have not had a dresser for about 10 years at the least. Seriously I just didn't have one. I had like 4 baskets and then there was 6 and I began to think I should look for a dresser. I really liked the Mirrored dressers and then I started seeing them everywhere and I was not so enthusiastic about paying that price. While blog surfing I found this dresser that I could not take my eyes off of. I immediately sent my sister (the artistic one in my fam) a link and asked her if we could do this to my dresser  would buy. Please please please. Keep in mind that I still had not found one. Well months past and I had looked and just never could see what I wanted in any of the options at any local Goodwill or thrift shops. One day I came home to find on my front porch a dresser. My mom bless her soul said "Mija look it was free" My mom does this very often and I have many things she has given me over the years that all though they are cool (The white fluffy rug now grey from all the little feet the pass over it daily) Fun (the Upright piano I barley could fit in my tiny room when I was living with my prima) she was so proud to have gotten it for "Free mija". Its currently siting in her garage as I will not move it into our new place. I wont!! I really could go on and on. However back to my surprise on my porch. I am not a unappreciative daughter/person. So I looked at the dresser and scratched my head. I looked at my little niece and I asked her "What color is that baby?" and she correctly answered "It's Green, I think" then she giggled and ran inside to tell her mom I have a funny face. First off it was definitely doing something and that's the first step to wining my heart. It doesn't matter if were talking about a piece of clothing, a couch, a shower curtain, a church, a country, a song or a new guy in the office, as long as its doing something I'm interested. So I thought maybe a coat of paint might bring this dresser to this century. I had to really think tho because it was going to be in my room. I remembered the picture of the dresser I sent to my sisley way back when and the wheels in my head started turning. I will spare you all the conversations I had with her about colors and such. I'll just show you what it looked like doing and then the finished project.This is after I covered it with two cans of cream spray paint

  I just used spray paint and a clear coat and that was that. No it didn't come out perfect, but that's the second thing you need to win my heart. A unique style of imperfections that make you even more beautiful then ever. I will add a pic of the finished project in just a few, and No I don't have a before picture because I don't think that's important. That is the  past and it has no weight on my decision that I love it how it is now =)

Thanks mom for not changing how you do.

I'll be back soon and we can chat again. Have a lovely day!
