Friday, Chris and I are headed into Winnipeg to a Black and White social. I am getting excited to be all snazzed up. I just need to figure out how I am going to do my hair, and decide what shoes I am going to wear.
Have been on a Heroes kick. Almost done the first part of Season 3. It's pretty good. I liked Season 1 the best so far, but the whole series is pretty good.
We move Saturday and Sunday. I should get packing and cleaning. My landlord is so noisy. She is the loudest in the building. I can't wait to get back to quietness with my cats, however I will miss the good internet. :(
Day 133:
Have been on a cute bug kick for the past couple days. Of course though right, they are better then ugly bugs. Haha.
Day 134:
A worm with a face. I like him, he is a little messy but definitely cute. Inching along.
Day 135:
A cute little lady bug. So cute, looking at you like "why are you looking at me? I am missing my color" Haha.

So addicted to Pinterest... it's kind of ridiculous. I am pinning everything. Once I am moved, I will try out the things I want to do. One that I am going to start soon is a "30 Day Drawing Challenge".
Went out to babysit my adorable nieces this evening, and not going to lie, changed the first diaper ever in my life. Wasn't too bad but it wasn't dirty so that was kind of awesome. Haha.
This week is going to be a tad busy with packing the rest of our stuff and moving some of it before Saturday.
We did a rush trip into Winnipeg Saturday to find a dress. We manage to find one at the Le Chateau Outlet and then we went to Earl's for supper. We had the most amazing sandwiches and the barkeep made a mean Bloody Mary. The guy sitting near us was either putting on an amazing act or schizophrenic. He was sketchy, talking with himself (as in looking at the other chairs and holding conversation), slamming his book, throwing imaginary things at the floor and then yelling at them. It was a tad intense.
Well onto bugs,
Day 131:
A weird looking caterpillar. Both of my nieces got caterpillars as babies and when thinking about looking after them, they got in my head.
Day 132:
I don't really know what I was aiming for with this one. Just a little bug, cute and unharmful.
<3 Nicole
So through my friend I have discovered the website Pinterest and, oh my lord, it is addicting.
Going out to for some bevvies and to play some pool with a couple of my husband's friends.
And then moving some of our stuff tomorrow into storage before the big move next weekend.
Day 129:
Well obvious, this is a bee. My styled bee with its path of evil path of stinging-ness.
Day 130:
A stick bug. A cute little stick bug. I would love to see one of these in (bug) flesh.
<3 Nicole
Packing, packing, packing. I love my movies and I love my books. To go through them and pick out ones to get rid of... it hurts me a bit. Haha. I want to learn to live simply though. I shouldn't love my possessions as much as I do.
My friend came back from Mexico last night and bought me the most beautiful hand-painted skull today. Oh how I wish she could have bought some of the lovely weather down there, as winter has decided to show her horrible face. -47 Celcius here tomorrow morning. Brr to the core.
Day 128:
This is my version of a Pill Bug. I like the shielded look of their exterior, though I would never like to see one in my home.
<3 Nicole
The start of my 4th month. Life is so crazy right now and I am working on getting it a little settled.
My husband had a course to attend today in Yorkton so we drove up last night and spent the night. Today I drove around and shopped in the frigid weather.
Day 122:
This month will be a month of bugs. To think of warmer weather. A dragonfly to start. Dragonflies stick out everywhere for me. They are so beautiful.
Day 123:
A ladybug. Red and cute. All over the place. Haha.
Day 124:
I don't really know what this was supposed to be. A beetle? Maybe? It kind of looks like one. Some bugs will be drawn from my imagination, that's for sure. :)
Day 125:
I am not a huge fan of butterflies. They are played out and it seems like every girl has one as a tattoo or on her car. What can you do?
Day 126:
Ants. They can be drawn real cute but they are pretty annoying.
Now to go look (and hope) my phone charger is in my bag.
<3 Nicole
Day 115:
True, in nature and for people.
Rain happens because there will usually be a rainbow there somewhere after.
Day 116:
I didn't like the road that I was walking so I am making my way down a new one. I am excited to see where it'll take me.
Day 117:
I always feel at home when my husband says he loves me. <3
Day 118:
Enough said. When a friends needs help, a true friend will be there for you.
Day 119:
A music lover loves all music.
Day 120:
Trying things in life makes life worthwhile and fun. Try something new and even if you don't succeed at least you tried.
Day 121:
I just think this quote is cute. :)
Day 122:
I always feel my strongest when I am stressed and under pressure. I take my struggle and use it to push my myself forward.
<3 Nicole
And here are the last 5 to catch me up. Whoop!
Day 110:
I loved this quote when I saw it. I believe it completely as I am always having little conversations with myself. I also saw another quote that said, "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." Think of that one.
Day 111:
The amount of times that I have wrecked an event by worrying about what happened or what might happen. Sometimes I didn't even go out. I am the one who was losing out. Me. Not the people I might bump into too, not the situations I might deal with. You never know what is going to happen in the present until you are there.
Day 112:
Our talents are meant for us to share. If you are good at something why would you keep it to yourself? This is kind of giving me an idea for my next month of drawing... hmmm... (ponder ponder)
Day 113:
I have tackled so many tasks in my life that I thought were impossible but slowly I worked and figured things out and then the pride you feel when you are done is amazing. I need to do this more often.
Day 114:
Everyone wants to fit in, to be liked and to have common interests, we have all been there but why do we choose to change who we are or what we do to make the other people happy? If those people were meant to be in our lives, they wouldn't want us to change in the first place. Yes friends want us to grow and try new things but never would they truly want you to stop liking something or doing something or wearing something unless they felt it was harming us in some way. I have dealt with this a lot in my life. I felt that if I didn't like the same things as the people that I was hanging out with then they wouldn't like me anymore and most of those people, I don't associate with anymore, so where did it get me? Not very far and still questioning who I am. So let's figure that out...
<3 Nicole
Another 5 out of the 15 that I have to post. I should really get on the ball and start keeping up, but it's really only for me and I know that I am doing it so, so yeah.
Day 105:
This one works exactly to what I wrote above. I may take a while to post them, but I don't stop drawing them. So that is all that matters to me.
Day 106:
Don't be greedy and glutinous. Share it. This is one of the first things you learn and for good reason, but for some reason most people thinks it is only reserved for their toys.
Day 107:
I have dealt a lot with conscience worry for over 5 years now. And I must say it isn't worth it. Constant worry screws up your body and your mind. Yes I meant to put conscience first and constant second, as for 5 years before I wasn't aware of my anxiety as I am now. So if the situation can't be controlled that you are worrying about, say that to yourself and brush the thoughts away. I know, I know, easily said then done.
Day 108:
I have always been pretty negative in my life and have just begun on the self-praise train, but I am still a firm believer in watching how strong you praise and celebrate. Journals and self-talk are one thing but praising yourself to the point of making others feel bad about themselves is another. Be proud with caution.
Day 109:
Being the subject of rumor mills for years, I love this quote. For rumors and otherwise. I have found many times in the past that I have thought of what I was going to say while the person I am with was still talking. I need to learn to listen a lot more.
<3 Nicole
So it's been a while, 15 days to be exact and oh what has gone down. I won't get into it all, but I will say Happy 100 days to me, Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Tra la!
The last month has really opened my eyes in life. I am going to truly get off my butt and stop putting up with bull in my life.
I am going to take a course and better my work situation whether working for someone else or not. I'll get it figured out.
But right now, I'll draw...
Day 100:
One hundred days, it does not feel like it has been that long. Still have a road to trudge down though.
People really don't understand the power of our minds. Anything you dream can be accomplished, as long as you are willing to work it out.
Day 101:
Create what is in your mind. How do you think people made the things that we play with everyday or read or drive, etc. If it doesn't come out the first try, start over and try again.
Day 102:
The things that have come to an end in my life that I cried and cried over. It took a bit of growing up to see that they were amazing to have been a part of my life and the end of them helped mold my into the woman that I am.
Day 103:
If you feel like a loser while trying to accomplish something, think that at least you are still trying to succeed when others simply give up and push away.
Day 104:
Yet again about the power of the mind. A lot whine and bitch that they have nothing in their lives and don't realize that they are making it that way. Think positive thoughts and live a positive life.
<3 Nicole
