I have to admit – I didn’t put too much thought into these next two pages. Quite frankly, my brain has been pretty fried lately, so I basically just whipped these up two nights ago. It’s funny, how things that are good for your mental/emotional well-being always seem to take the least priority when it comes to dealing with life’s problems. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
This page was supposed to be basically done as a comic strip of drawings of what I did in a day – but since my drawing skills are, as you can see, non-existent – I just made it into some bad doodles of a great day I had, last fall. The other day my co-workers and I were having a random conversation about french macarons, and I remembered the nice little afternoon I spent with myself, shortly after my birthday last year, and I had the BEST MACARON EVER – you can see what it looks like in real life, here, since my doodle does it no justice. I’m pretty easy to please – just give me time to sleep in, a pumpkin spice latte (free doesn’t hurt either), a french macaron, an empty park bench and a menthol Marlboro and I’m one happy camper. (For the record, I don’t consider myself a smoker, I just enjoy the odd one on special occasions.)
This page was pretty straight forward – just a picture framed within another picture. It was the only somewhat-recent photo I had printed out of Brian and I – a friend recently had some prints made from a birthday bowling party (hence the glow-necklaces) that we went to over a year ago, and gave me a copy of this photo. I happened to just like the colours in this catalogue page and thought they went well together – I only realized half-way through taping it all down that it looked a little pervy (a picture of us on top of a picture of a bed and the words “love birds” ;) Oh well!

Thank you! It really was a great day :)
