Sunshine

I've completely fallen in love with Pinterest.  I've been pinning things that inspire and encourage me, things that make me happy or make me think nice thoughts.  It helps.  It isn't a fix-all, but it helps.

Sunshine has finally returned--Dog and I went to the dogpark.  It helps the social awkwardness, you know?  At the dogpark you don't have to worry about making small talk with people or running out of conversation.  You can always talk about the dogs or have to go take care of a poo situation or mind your dog.  I get a walk in, Dog gets his ya-yas out, and usually we stop for a bagel and a biscuit afterwards.

Still bending wire, still kind of horrible at it but this is how you learn, right?

Also, more wants:
