Winter blahs

It's hard not to get down and depressed when the weather is so awful day after day. Trudging through snow and slush and trying not to fall on ice is not my idea of a good time. Luckily, there's usually something fun happening each weekend and spring and summer are coming.

On Saturday I did a wine and painting night at Ian Sherwin's gallery. I went there this summer with some friends. Once again, it was an absolute blast. He gave great suggestions and then let us do our thing. I based my painting off of a photo I took in Taos, New Mexico. Friday, Rene and Rocio and I went to see Madame Butterfly. It was my first opera ever. Totally in Italian but they put the words up above the screen. It was pretty cool but super depressing. Moral of the story-you can't count on men.

I've been sort of down overall lately due to things in my apartment, my workload, and the weather. Trying to stay positive--the weather will get better eventually and it's almost time for baseball spring training!
