Latest Project

So, being home recovering from my Tonsillectomy, I've had some time to work on some projects.  I sing in a choir at the LDS Institute and we have a fireside coming up.  I've been put in charge of publicity for the events for the year.  Today I worked on the tickets for the upcoming show.

I think it turned out ok.  The colors are sort of Autumn themed.  The right side is to be torn off and kept by the member of the choir so they can keep track of how many people each choir member invited.

Warm my fruit, please.

This little friend is probably pretty useless, but I still think it's cute.

Today turned out to be an o.k. day.

So here's how today goes.

It is day 3 of my little personal challenge.  I promised myself to do the next bouldering comp at the Rock Haus next time one rolls around, which is apparently in December.  Erk!  I shook on it with Brad, Tony, Trevor, and Mike at the gym and if I don't do it I have to buy each of them a hoodie.  Why a hoodie?  Wellll Brad and I have this little inside joke.... apparently he only has 1 hoodie to his name, or so it would appear, which he wears every day of the winter.  So.  I promised him I'm gonna get him a new hoodie if I don't follow through. Besides the comp, I made this goal to climb 4 out of 7 days each week.  SO far, I'm 3 for 3.  That's just because I rock.  This challenge is two-fold.  1.  Get in better shape.  2.  Control/mediate my spending habits. 

And the reward is a new iPod.  Shoot.  I want it.

 What I'm finding is I just need consistency with climbing.  I'm already doing so much better.  I am bouldering at an almost 300 level - I guess that's a V2 or V3 which isn't bad considering how terrified I am of heights.  I made some big moves that scared me so bad and I'm Sooooo glad I did.  I red-pointed some 5.10s and finished one with a little crack climbing, too.  I feel so good - which is the goal.

Not me... yet.  Climbing outdoors is a different beast.

 AND another little goal I've got is to brain wash myself into understanding my worth and my talents.  This little number is hanging all over my room:

I like it.  I think it's cute.  And I'm already feeling a little better.

Remind me to make these and throw a Halloween party.http://nicolehill.blogspot.com/
