Small Wonders

Today, happiness has come in many forms.

-Rain! I have always loved all things connected to rain.

-New makeup! As Ugly Week has begun to stretch into Ugly Month, I've needed some more help in this department. Today I got some new foundation, concealer, perfume, face wash, and brushes, courtesy of my friend Nan who sells Mary Kay products. I have used Mary Kay products in the past and have found that they work well for me. I can always return anything that doesn't work out for me.

-Downsizing! Because of the new makeup, I went through all my old makeup and nail polish and threw away a ton of stuff. As I did, I thought about how much money I'd wasted on products I hardly used. In the future, I will try not to become obsessed with collecting things I don't use.

-My new flickr account! I decided to open a flickr account after all, but will continue posting photos here as well. You can subscribe to my photos if you want to, just as you would a regular blog.

-Clark's! It had been a long time since I'd been in Clark's, but Roy and I went there tonight and were awestruck at all the products. We will definitely become more regular shoppers.

-Strange coincidences! My mom called and woke me up from a dream that focused heavily on her and our relationship.

-Fuzzy kitties! When I woke up from said dream, I realized that both Kerwin and Woogas were all snuggled against me, sleeping. So cute!

-Homework avoidance! This really is not something to be excited about, but it's making the list anyway.

-Meditation! I've decided to try to add meditation to my daily routine to help reduce stress in my life. I've become aware that I am entirely too stressed out, and it is showing up in a number of areas. I have attempted meditation before with little success. I plan on trying it at the end of my yoga routine, because then I will already be very relaxed.

A Dream of Three Kitties

Last night I dreamt that Roy and I had Kerwin and Woogas with us in some building that was filled with junk. Much to our alarm, we found out that a huge python had taken up residence there, and so most of the dream was spent trying to save our cats from a terrible death. We would put them in a cage, and they would escape. We would get them in the car, and then we would notice that the car had no floor - so again, they would escape. In the end, we were able to save them and get out of there. Towards the end of the dream, Scampers, one of my old family cats who lived with my mom and died just a little over a year ago, appeared, but we were unable to save him. I have no idea why Scampers showed up in this dream, but it was so sad losing him again. I miss my buddy, although Kerwin's disposition reminds me a lot of him.
