doin' the work

Today's weather reminded me of Montana. It started out cold with lots of rolling clouds and air so crisp it felt like the atmosphere was made of ice shards. Fluffy clouds turned into grey and silver webs that let go of tiny sprinkles... Onto my face and the makeup I had applied four hours earlier. Then the big rain came down similar to Big Sky country. It's still cold outside.

With a dreary day, came much progress and the fire I need under my ass to get me going.

1. Calling about the Legion of Mary. I need to be a part of this group to grow stronger in my faith and make sure that the deeds of Christ are present in my life, no matter how small. I cannot grow from intentions alone and need to include more actions of charity and giving, especially since the Lord has blessed me with so much.

2. Tattooer, Spencer Briggs speaks as elegantly as he draws. This is going to be tough, but I have my first appointment set up and I need to just do it. There is never going to be a time where I have a massive "tattoo funds" jar set aside with nothing but cash to make all of my tattoo dreams happen. The date is set, and the pressure to meet that date needs be heeded. There is no "perfect" time... Much like having a baby.

3. Creativity through the sewing machine. The last time I pulled out the machine was to make simple curtains for the kitchen. This time, I needed to alter my favorite pants that had lost a bit of the elasticity and to attempt a bunny project. Not too stoked on the bunny project, but I'm wearing the freshly altered pants and it feels great not to have them falling off of my ass. I think I want to sew a quilt...

I want to finish watching the Nazi zombie movie that I started before the night is over and perhaps wake up early for chuch tomorrow. I'm not sure yet...
