enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

I think it was last night, or maybe this morning, that I planned this blog entry. I was going to talk about how I love Thursday nights. About how on Thursdays, I walk out of work with a spring in my step because LIFE IS GOOD and IT IS MY WEEKEND.

But today, I walked out of work and stepped in a puddle and cursed the April showers, because let us be honest, I can buy May flowers all year long at Trader Joe’s.

As I waited in the cold rain for a crowded wet bus, I made the executive decision to hold off on my Mission Impossible : Maryland DMV plot that I had planned for tomorrow. I also came to the realization that I should make all of my decisions when I am waist deep in water. It is these times that I normally have my priorities in line: 1. get dry. 2. get home. 3. avoid people who like to make you jump through hoops. 4. find a bottle of wine.

I have switched gears and decided to make things allllll day long tomorrow. I am making a book to keep my work thoughts organized. And a mini book of my European travels. And writing an article about my mini book of my European travels. And I might also make some cupcakes. Oh, and I am making "Choose Your Attitude" cards for work.

And one of the cards is going to say "DRY" on it.

    if you haven’t already heard of it. I’m going to think of what the image for the dry card should be. pottery barn towels? maxi pads? galoshes? There are a lot of options.
