ALMOST....

At the very tail end of last night, I received two pieces of news that turned the entire rest of yesterday around. I was having something of a sludgy time over the course of the first 11 hours or so, but nearly back-to-back phone calls solidifying the final stages of something I've been trying to untangle for months now served not only as a huge blessing, but a reminder that most of the other fog of the day was menial stuff in the bigger picture.

Also on the roster of things from last night:

coasters!

I fiiinally completed the transfer portion of the coaster-making process on all the sets [+ 2 re-do's, woops] that I had planned. The very last step to these will be the clear glaze, and maybe... just maybe .. reposting a similar shot sometime in the near future after everyone's received theirs and I won't have to hide the pictures with tacky dots. (: Christmas is THIRTEEN days from today, just... FYI. Whoa.

I also received an email earlier in the week from Hahana that our team shirts for both the seasons we played this year were available.

Hahana. Team "Backseat Sets" haha....na.

^^ Merry early Christmas, K, K & B. Hahah.

Lastly, I finally got this sucker in from Marc [shoutout, Edwardsville!!] & have it all set up to add to the rest of them. This really isn't a majestic achievement by any means, but I did have to work up to this for a little bit, so hey, I'm happy (:

boooooyah.... or something like that ;)

So yeah! Those are just some small things that make me remember not to let other things, people or circumstances get under my skin the way I sometimes do. To add to these little benefits, there are some substantially larger things coming my way here in the very near future, and once I have the ground to claim on them, I'll share, too.

Piggybacking off of work-related things, our bosses bought us an early little Christmas bonus, which is just rrrrrrrright up my alley if you know anything about me and my above-average affinity for blankets:

"soft" doesn't even begin to describe this thing...

^ Drooooool. This throw's going to have to stay here in the office, because if I take it home and sleep with it, I might never again get up. Winning (:

I. Am. Blessed. It may seem stoic and redundant, but it's true.
Now on to an evening to spend with my parents, back home in my favorite place the world: their house.

the house that built me... [miranda lambert]

Happy weekend!
