I wish. I wish, I wish

This art exhibit, 'A Day Like Any Other' at the New Museum, looks absolutely awesome. Wishes, written by previous participants, have been printed on ribbons. People that view the exhibit can take a ribbon and replace it with their own wish, written on a piece of paper. You can read more about it here. The thought of carrying around another person's wish is kind of amazing.

Pride Cometh Before the Fall, OR How I Fought the Meat Slicer And Lost

I went back to my job on Monday. Same job. New position. Teresa trained me, making sure I knew what I was doing. Tuesday comes. Teresa is still there just in case I need something. She says 'Melissa, you are such a fast learner!' I started getting a little confident, a little cocky. So I put my hand a little too close to the moving blade. Mistake!

I got 8 stitches for my confidence.

All My Wildest Hopes and Dreams Have Come True

I am now the owner of a button assembly machine. How awesome is that?

The quality of these pictures isn't that great but this button assembly machine makes some amazing buttons. I have been wanting one of these machines for years and now I am making buttons like mad.

And yes, the first button I made had Zac Efron on it.

Do you want a button? Or a handful of buttons?

Let me know. I want to share the button love!

Trouble, Oh Trouble Set Me Free

There has been some trouble since I got back from DC. At least according to Kimbers. I have been leaving my lipgloss around, which is tempting Kimbers. Trouble, trouble.

Take Me Home

Sometimes when I am bored at work, I look at the National Zoo's flickr page.

I want to take him home and love him forever.

As I Would Say 'Awesome'

Emily and I talk a lot about being awesome.

How awesome we are because we grew up watching Some Like It Hot and Willow

How awesome we are because we listen to Garth Brooks

How awesome we are because we read for fun

How awesome we are because we come from the best family

How awesome we are because we make collages

How awesome we are because our favorite sport is badminton

What can I say, we have a lot of awesomeness around us.

So when my roommate asked me if I was going to wear my scarf like that around the neighborhood, I thought 'That is what being awesome is'.

Wearing my scarf however I want to.
