Diane’s World

Song of the Weeeeeeek is Arcade Fire / Rebellion (lies) – sorry it’s nothing new or exciting… just thought the theme was appropriate. And plus, I think most people just want that last song off. (haha!)
Howdy world!1) I love my family. I have the greatest sisters, brother, brother-in-law, nephews, cousins and parents. Ok, fine, and my mom’s cat isn’t the worst either. Just felt like I haven’t bragged enough about them recently.

And my mom is coming to visit me for a week in October! I’m excited!

… and I’m sad that my little nephews are growing up without me

2) I found out why I’ve been getting bruises – methinks my iron-deficiency anemia has returned. (dun dun dun!)

Which explains why I spent most of this Saturday completely exhausted and sleeping on the couch, feeling weak. It’s so funny how the lack of one little element in my body can dramatically alter my lifestyle.

However, this isn’t the worst I’ve had it, and I’ve managed to stay in a pretty good mood regardless!

3) I did spend time with Laura this weekend – her parents came and took us out to Blue Mountain. It was a good time.

Afterwards, Laura and I challenged Jeremiah, Joel and Branden to a hard-core game of “Battle of the Sexes”

(In this game, girls get asked questions that only guys usually know – like about sports, beer, fishing and handywork, and guys get asked girly questions about fashion, cooking, raising children and diets.)

OF COURSE Laura and I DOMINATED! even though we were short one person!

We even played in REVERSE where girls got asked girl questions and guys got asked guy questions, and we still SMOKED them boys!

4) As always, I’ve been working on art… here is the two most recent things that I am willing to show.

Staying with my theme of hearts, I made this is Ceramics:

and here is my “cast” drawing:

Still not sure if that one is finished. Oh well. I strongly dislike drawing, and I’m thinking it’s showing.

5) A few things I find very scary:

Eek.

I have to pass a math proficiency test before I can graduate so I’ve been studying for that a bit… and thanks to Laura, I think I have a good chance passing on my first try!

Well that’s all for now. Next weekend I will be in Chicago, staying with my friend Lindsey with Laura. It should be a good time!

have a great week, ya’ll!
