I had an incredibly stressful day, who knew transferring colleges would be so intense! As I mentioned I have my eye on 2 schools Hunter college in Manhattan and Queens college in Flushing, and I have spent the better part of the last 2 weeks since returning from our trip attempting to apply to them both. Today I finally got the online application cooperating but could not for the life of me locate the spot to choose my major as dietetics. I called the admissions office and the man who answered informed me THEY DO NOT OFFER THIS MAJOR!!!!!
Needless to say I had a major meltdown, there were tears people! These are the only two colleges besides NYU I could find with dietetics majors listed and I can’t afford 30,000 a year to go to NYU!
Long and horrible story short, 5 hours later I called another person who informed me that that gentleman had no idea what he was talking about and both schools have wonderful dietetics programs. I submitted my application and immediately felt relieved, UNTIL I checked my email and found a 9 page document from them containing further hoops I have to jump through before they will even look at my application.
What I really was craving after all this stress was a few shots but I settled for some soul soothing artwork instead 
I grabbed up this cheap paint set at a back to school sale a while ago on a whim and for some reason it was totally calling my name today. I painted something I thought might help calm my nerves and soothe me.
Yes that is a Buddha, and yes I sincerely apologize to anyone of the faith that I have offended with this terrible rendition! Clearly I am no artist lol. Bret joined in on the fun as well
It was exactly what I needed and I didn’t end up needing the shots after all…however I may have had a glass of wine while I painted 
This was delicious and affordable, I highly recommend! Not to oaky or had too many tannins (thank you Jenna for teaching me the meaning of this word!) plus it has such a fun label!

Have a great Thursday/Friday people!

I haven’t painted in years…what a great idea to relax! And the addition of the wine is genius…who says painting is just child’s play?!
