Spiraling Under Control

So it’s about that time of year (and I’m sure you’re feeling it too) when everything just seems to be spiraling out of control. My to-do list keeps stacking up, my apartment is absolutely filthy and my hair hasn’t been anything but jammed into a ponytail or shoved under a hat for two weeks.

Ahh yes, it’s a beautiful life.

So when I saw this, I couldn’t help but giggle. My mom emailed me a link to an online Spirograph tool – yea, that’s right – SPIROGRAPH!! You remember the bright colored plastic disks that you stuck a pen in and swirled around to make awesome designs? Well some nostalgic soul has put one together online.

It’s simple but it’s sweet. Plus, you get a strange sense of satisfaction watching it spin… or maybe that’s just the sleep deprivation and extreme caffeination finally getting to me.

Either way. Small victories people.

I love toys!!! The spirograph is particularly awesome because it actually looks like what you are doing is important.

I totally forgot about that! It was such an amazing toy-type-thing (Im not sure what category it falls under?!) Maybe I'll pull it out and play with it when I'm super stressed with exams!
