10 days
Dare I enter the illustration competition? I would only have 10 days to build something amazing. Sounds like a world of time, and not enough …
blog failure
Oh my life.
I wrote a long post and it disappeared. I don’t know what happened. Probably fell into the abyss. The vast abyss that is cyberspace. When things go missing in books that is usually where they end up. Well, not in the abyss of cyberspace, a different abyss … usually equally terrifying.
I’ll write it again tomorrow. (The phrase bated breath comes to mind). In the...
Music is good
WatchOh ya know … just riding around with a snowman.
The cold woke me up
WatchI have been working a lot lately and been incredibly tired when I get off from work. However, even though these are old, they make me smile every time I watch them. Peter, you are one of my favorite people and one of the people I count lucky to know… please never change.
I banged my elbow hard on my door
If my dad were here he would say: Why did you do that? What did the door to do you? -Or/ More Likely - The door will always win Celeste.
Bottle the day
I wish I could bottle this day. It is absolutely gorgeous outside. I had a delicious breakfast, found some great stocking stuffers for my lovely mom and brother and bought some groceries to make the remainder of my christmas gifts. Then, I spent two hours reading outside in the sun on Pearl Street. I think now that I have some water, I will continue this in the courtyard. Perfect Sunday.

Snowboarding
Today I banged my knee pretty good. A little black and blue. But! I had a lot of fun and feel a lot more comfortable going down the hill straight. Which is cool. Plus, my S-turns are looking a lot better. Unfortunately, Adam, my wonderful snowboard instructor has been put on probation… I think we were all super bummed about it. From his texts, it sounds like he went rogue and got into a...
POLICE
I was driving to the gym tonight and had to stop at a red light on North and Broadway. I looked over to my right and there was a lady on the ground outside of THT. This may sound odd to most, but if you know me at all, you know these things happen to me quite often. At first I thought the woman had slipped on the ice, but something about the situation just didn’t seem right. Anyway, standing...
Fancy Party / New Year
Tomorrow is the fancy party (that is what the party is called). I am actually really excited about it. I can’t wait to dress up and go out on the town with my lovely friends. Plus! We are going to the Bitter Bar - love that place. Pictures to come.

I am trying to decide what to do for New Year’s Eve. I was going to rent a cabin and have my Austin family here for the holidays, but I don’t...

Christmas Shopping
I was able to buy all my Christmas presents from local stores, minus two. I love that.

Really all I need
Is someone who will help me open a wine bottle at the end of a long day.
*Today was great - I am exhausted but work is getting done, cookies are being baked and wonderful conversations are being had.
What's the story morning glory?
Remember when I used to say this a lot? Think I’ll work it back in.

Mom is always right
According to my mom, I get grumpy at two points: when I am hungry and when I am tired. I was both earlier tonight. I hate being grumpy. Now I am full of delicious Chili and ready to work. :)
Launch Mass Blog Editor
There is a button that says that (Launch Mass Blog Editor or something to that effect) on the left of my screen. I pressed it this morning. Immediately all my blogs so far were tiled. Just looking back on everything, even though I didn’t post much, I think August, September and the end of November were my favorite months in Colorado so far. October and December were pretty sweet as well,...
Chair Lift
I had it mastered yesterday. I can glide. I can skate. Why was stopping after getting off the chairlift so hard for me today? lol. I would glide off all natural and then bam I was on the ground. oh well.
Here is an embarrassing and yet funny story for you my lovelies. So I am about to go on the lift and a really attractive guy comes up and says: “So are you a virgin?” Fairly certain I...
HipHop
Oh hello. I went to a hiphop class the other day. The guy who teaches the class is from South Africa and has the most lovely accent. The way he moves his feet is also pretty spectacular. I on the other hand, am pretty bad. However, I did learn how to “booty pop” - don’t ask me to do it just yet, I think I need a few more classes- and do some pretty awesome steps. The whole...
Hugo
I saw Hugo tonight. I will tell you all about it if you ask. Otherwise, I am not going to say a thing except I think, I think that everyone should see it. Maybe. This one is a tough one. If you are really interested, just ask me… we will talk about it … maybe over a nice cup of tea.
Tonight was fun but I am exhausted. Time to put my head on my pillow.
Is it friday yet
I have been watching snowboarding videos like crazy and I want to go!
Deleted my last post
After talking to my friend Michelle, I have decided that I am not embarrassed about anything. lol Last night was a blast. A complete blast.
_________
Came home to find my front door open. Nothing was taken and it didn’t look like anything was different. Still … scary. I know I locked it when I left because I have been locking it from the outside - ever since I locked myself out the...
So Much Work
There has been so much work lately. Too much work. I kind of lost myself in work this weekend. I do not like when that happens. It makes me stress about “wasting life.” But, I do like the people I work with, so spending time with them was nice. I need to decompress tonight though. It must be done. I am going to drink and laugh and have a good time.
WHY I WRITE
Reminder to self - you are writing this blog as a record of your adventures. This means, you have to write your adventures. Remember to do that.
Only three more days
Only three more days of late nights left on this pitch. It is fun but exhausting.
Tea
Last year, for my birthday, Jill gave me four or five boxes of tea. I still have two boxes left. I know. Amazing. Jill would be shocked if she knew I still had any left. I love a good cup of tea. Anyway, I am very glad to have a warm bit to sip because I did a lot of walking back and forth from work tonight. I love the snow, but it is very cold and my toes are absolutely frozen.
Tired. Too early to be tired. Too much to do. Too...
The world is soft and white again today. I love...
