Brain Dump part 2
OK, so... my to do list is HUGE. A lot of it is in my effort to organize. And... I have too many hobbies, too many interests and loves. Some of the things I am currently working on:
1. Knitting my alpaca blend shawl
2. A LOT of crocheting, but currently a blanket for Devin and a "hat"/toy for Devin.
3. Catching up on THREE MONTHS of comics. They were packed. *sigh*
4. Uh... unpacking. I'm almost done, but then things need HOMES. You know, like, organization. And decorating, like pics into frames too.
5. Reading the Sunday paper.
6. Practice belly dance. And as important as this is to me, it seems to always slip through the cracks and I only do a few minutes a day :(.
7. I think I might want a new stage name, if I want one at all. I have Basinah Saahira (kitten witch in Arab), but that was my cabaret name, and I'm not sure I wanna use it in tribal. Now that the Hipnotic student troupe has a name (Legacy ;)), and auditions are in April, it's been on my mind.
8. Sorting through my immense perfume oil collection. There, uh, might be a sale soon, if I can get them... *dramatic pause* ...organized.
9. Posting - I know it's not "important", but it's important to me. I missed both Imbolc and Devin's 16 month update, so those are coming.
10. Espresso stories have been on my mind as well. I come up with great ones but never get to write them down. I have some that I wanna submit. Cause goodness forbid I actually write something longer than 15 words ;).
11. I want to put together my upcoming events calendar, with cons, belly dance events, shows, movies, all those things I wanna do this year. Gotta budget and get time off, so I gotta pull this one together soon.
12. Shopping. There are some things I want, some I need, and I always forget SOMETHING. So this is another list I need to pull together. Food, house stuff, toys for Devin, a kinds of things. Another budgetting event.
13. I wanna go through my cookbooks, pick healthy recipes, shop for the food and then, you know, COOK it. But this is another one that seems to keep slipping through the cracks, though I AM cooking a little more with that's in the house now.
14. Being more active in the faith, spirituality and magic in my life. Finding my own path instead of just going though someone else's motions. Doing the research needed to achieve this.
So, yeah... I might have 3 days off, but I have an overflowing plate AND a baby who, when awake, takes up a LOT of my time. In a good way, of course, I'd rather her WANT my attention. This is why I've been a little hermitty and not as social as I'd maybe like to be. Too busy!! ;)
And speaking of baby, her full diaper cut her nap way too short, so I gotta run and play with her. So... more later!!
