My Christmas Craft

So, now that Jess, Eric and Carly have received their Christmas Craft gift, I can share. I made balls this Christmas. A bunch of balls. Why? Because Chicks like balls. I started to order them online and decided I wasn't going to pay $15 for a monogrammed ball...so I made my own...and then I made more and more and more...I've put anything you can imagine in a clear glass ball. Here are some pics to prove it...I'm kind of pissed that my favorite two...one for Andrea and one for Joy were wrapped before I got pictures of them...

I made one similar to this for Andrea, Kelly, Becky, Joy, Jess and a little one for Carly...all black and white filled with white feathers and topped with a 2009 ribbon and pearls (This is Andrea's).

Then I made "personalized" ones. So, Becky loves the beach and I made her a ball with sand and shells.

Kelly's was all sparkly like this...and like her...

For Joy I did "earthy" and I did a "traveling" one for Andrea. I also did Christmas-y ones and snow-y ones. You name it. Now I think I should stop. There's really no use for balls outside of Christmas.

Feeling the Urge . . . I'm kind of feeling an urge to blog this morning...just to get my thoughts out...do something to keep my mind busy and relieve some stress...yet, I don't seem to have anything to say. I totatlly skipped doing cardio this morning, and know that I won't make it to the gym for the rest of the day...being very lazy. I stopped this morning and got a bagel and coffee. I was standing in line with all the other people who were either wearing business suits or scrubs (I live in the medical center after all), and I felt quite out of place in my Maroon5 (yeah!) T-shirt and jeans that I wore to school last night and just threw on this morning to take Gabby to school. No make-up and hair in a ponytail. I was looking quite decrepit amongst those other "working folks"! I'm wondering how my life got to be this freakin' boring!!! And then I'm wondering why the bagel shop has to be right next to a mortuary?...just a thought.

What is the definition of love? Some anonymous person asked me this in the 'comments section' many blogs ago. A hard one to answer...everyone has a different answer...I am slowly admitting to myself that I have never truly been in love...I have felt deep affection for people, and I have had my feelings manipulated, and I have definitely been in lust...But I honestly can say that I've never been in love on my own terms...I'm so ready to be swept completely off my feet...
