Sioux has a fang -- do you like?




Doxie is allllways smiling &laughing like a crazyperson, &that's why I love her.


Hypnotizing Copper with my psychic powers, no big deal.


My co-workers are ridiculous!


Catching up with Mr. Dahlia.




Post-lunch smoothie at my friend's incredible cafe, Prasad. I'm always in such great company when I'm there!


I hang out with a lot of cats!


Fake ones, even!

Other honorable mentions in the adventure department... the return of legit internet in LyxzenLand; good times with so many friends, usually involving food; hours &hours of Hank Moody &Joan Holloway; eating Peanut Butter Pows like they're going out of style; &receiving sweet sweet gifts from my wishlist randomly! (You don't know how lovely it is to come home to Lush treats -- thank you to the lovelies who've surprised me with such fantastic pre-birthday goodies!)

So anyways, I'm healing up as well as one can! I still want to punch strangers who bump into me, though. Wonder how good my left hook is? I'll post photos soon of the evolution of my bruise. It looks like zombie skin right now!!



New Years Resolutions are a bunch of phooey, if you ask me (or this smart lady!). Set goals for yourself all the time! Here are some of mine:

>>Be even more positive! I feel like I'm a pretty positive person, but one can always be more of something! Things I am doing more of: inviting positivity into my life at every turn, acknowledging the good things in not-so-awesome situations, &giving people the benefit of the doubt. My favorite thing so far has been a tiny notebook that I decorated, to fill up with scribblings &drawings of things I love &things that make me happy!
>>Be more grateful! I am, but I think most of us can always do more to show our appreciation for others, ourselves, &the world around us. For me, this means letting the people in my life know how much I love them...for who they are, the things they do, &the sacrifices they sometimes make. I'm also considering getting "Please" &"Thank You" tattoos somewhere!
>>Try a new food at least once a month! (So far I've only tried grits this month. They were alright, but I look forward to discovering all sorts of yummy stuff!) What's your favorite food? Maybe I've yet to try it!
>>Continue giving in to creativity, wherever possible, &actually finish the projects that I start! Well, that says it all, doesn't it? annnnnnnd...
>>No more injuries given or received in 2011! Papercuts &cat scratches are my limit, damnit!

&for the record, I make no apologies for my hippie-dippie goals! Deal with it.

Oh!! A couple of you have already noticed this is going up in a few weeks:

I hope you're half as stoked to see it as I am to share it with you! (Get your Toy Story on while you still can, folks, cos I'll be deleting it before A New Morning, Changing Weather goes live!)




Before I go, another part of my positivity goal is to surround myself with wisdom &words that motivate me! Here's a quote I fell in love with not too long ago:
