I don’t even really like snow. I’ve just had a bad couple of days.

I had Friday off, which one would think would be a good day… not so much.

I started the day by having a dream that I was at my Grandma’s house and we were having the family Christmas party, and nobody showed up. My first thought upon waking up was “...well that sucks. My family is supposed to love me and want to see me damn it!” It only went downhill from there.

I went to Home Depot to pick up a light bulb for my light fixture (I have the Fuga light from IKEA) and the stupid things are $7 each. I bought two so I could replace the dead one and have a spare for next time one dies. After that I went back home to play with Xoie but she wasn’t interested in me and only wanted to chew on her bone. Whatever dog.

I worked a little bit on a project I’m doing, then decided that I needed some shots of Downtown.. so I took a shower, put my dog in her room, and walked to the MAX stop. It started raining 2 minutes after I left my house and was pouring by the time I got off the train in Portland. So I couldn’t pull my camera out.. walked down to Eat Pizza and had some food and killed some time because Pod wasn’t gonna be off work for a little bit. Hopped on the MAX and headed over there, then couldn’t remember what floor he worked on.

Tried calling but he didn’t answer so I started wandering around the building. It’s fairly small and has lots of locked doors, so I didn’t get lost per say… but I did manage to find the only door to the stairwell that opens on my first try, only to find that the doors from that side are locked. I started panicking and each door I tried that was locked made the stairwell feel smaller. It really, really sucked. Sent a text to Pod telling him I was gonna die in the staircase then finally located an unlocked exit. It was scary :(

So then when it was time for us to leave, we got on the MAX, and then there was an annoucement saying they were going to delay the train… and then security walked up to me and asked me to get off the train. My eyes got all big and round and Pod was like “uhhhmmm…” and the security guy was like, “are you with her?” “yeah” “okay why don’t you step off too…” and so we got rained on while they figured out that I was not whoever they were looking for, and they let us back on the train, and everybody was staring at us.

So then I was all cold and wet and cranky and my hot chocolate didn’t come with whipped cream. Bleah.

I guess yesterday was sort of mostly okay except I had to work and I got in a fight with Pod and then I had to work today.

But hey, it’s snowing. I threw a snowball at my friend Sam and haven’t fallen on my ass yet so I guess it’s okay.

So today I painted 2 of the walls in my room… Now that I am done (well, except for the places where I need to put a second layer of white on the molding because I got blue paint on them) I think it’s great. But while the sun was beating on me and in my face while I was trying to unstick my feet from the plastic and my arm hurt and half of my body was blue… yeah it was fun LOL I made a mess of myself and my clothes but the walls are a solid color and there is no paint on the carpet.

Success!

I got “bird’s egg blue” paint (oddly enough, the type of paint was eggshell.. hmmm! it’s the halfway between flat and satin I guess) and the other walls are… cream. With white molding. It all matches my bed! I have the Hedda Band bedspread from IKEA and so the blue is the same as the lightest blue on the bed… sort of. Close match anyway. And so my bed has dark blue sheets and bedskirt and decorative pillow, and I have a cream chair (also from IKEA, I can’t seem to find it on the website though) and a little red dot rug (Ringum, also from IKEA.. like I shop anywhere else!!), cause well, there’s red dots on the bedspread! I think now that the wall with the window has color, I can just get white curtains and not worry about it being boring. My neighbor can see me right now.

So now I need to figure out where to put all this stuff that’s on my bed, cause I’d kind of like to sleep tonight.
