New Roasted Chickpea Earrings

 Holiday art on the walls.  Homemade (like you couldn't tell).  I need to take all this down soon.

 Roasted Chickpeas with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic.

 Thoven "The Destroyer" only survives some days because he's so durn cute.

 New earrings from a distant friend (miss you, dear) and a thick sweater to combat the cold my apartment can't seem to cut.

The big excitement for the day is that I'm getting my hair cut tonight.  A friend who is in a show with me right now has her cosmetologist license so for a few bucks and a bottle wine:  Haircut.  And much needed it is, too.  I think it's been two years since I was even in for a trim.  Yipes.

Aside from that I experimented with roasted chickpeas (too much time in the oven, but not terrible), got a new pair of earrings (thank you, L), and started journaling again.  No pictures of that - it's private, ya know. 

In my time on this earth I've started and stopped a journal at least a half dozen times.  I get going for a while and then something comes along to keep me from writing an entry for one day and suddenly, derailment for months at a time.  I'm not going to lie and say that this time it's a life-long thing...I embrace my true procrastinatic nature...but it IS interesting that every time I go back and read my previous journals the themes are always the same (as I Think I mentioned just yesterday, yes?). 

This morning I caught myself daydreaming about working with such and such a person or on such and such a project.  I literally sat for 30 minutes doing nothing but picturing myself in positive environments.  Now, don't get me wrong, I realize that visualization is key to making goals realities, but at some point you have to stop visualizing and start Doing, right?!  So, once I woke up to what I was doing I made a point of making professional development a big part of my day.  To that end I worked up and sent off an audition and have some more plans for later tonight...including more visualization (wink).
