So I did it! I got up and went to the gym before work. Things didn't go exactly as planned, but all in all I think I did ok and am pleased. I did end up snoozing until 7:20 so I didn't actually leave the house until 7:45 making it to the gym by 8:00. I did the elliptical for 30 minutes then stretched and showered. Keith said they had towels ( Read more... )

I'm taking a moment before I start my busy day to reflect on a few things.

Holiday Crafting
Whoa boy. Did I ever over commit myself. I was hoping to be a lot more relaxed in crafting my friends and family gifts and to be finished and happily wrapping things by now. That didn't happen. I lot of the Crafts For Profit (CFP) I could have completed ( Read more... )

I did not finish all the things. SADFACE! I was trying to get to all the requests for sharktoplushies in time for the holidays, but I did not. I have a couple of things I'm wrapping up tonight that people have paid for, but for the ones I was attempting to finish before listing, they just will have to wait. The things I'm shipping out tomorrow ( Read more... )

Xmas time is approaching! I always loved Xmas because it was the time of year that it snowed, and there were all kinds of things to bake and craft. This week I'm wrapping up all the requested orders I've taken in over the past couple of weeks. I have 12 sharktoplushies all cut out and waiting to be sewn. Actually its 11 now. I finished the one, ( Read more... )

I was visiting one of my friend's this weekend when I noticed that I really liked how nice and neat their "office" room was. I want my craft room to be like that. I really do. I even tested out their desk to see if it would be suitable for what I'd do, and it is. So I think my craft room will be getting a very major revamping over the next ( Read more... )

There is a lot swirling around both in my brain, and as external projects all vying for my attention. I'm still trying to get better at time management and learn my limit, and to sadly say no sometimes. I've had to withdraw myself from both the Art Carnage shows I had planned on being in. I just didn't have the time to get enough things ready for ( Read more... )

So I'll finally be wrapping up my Stubby Dog projects this weekend. Now I'm trying to decide what to do with my pit bull ornament pattern. I really like the idea of Stubby Dog's mission, which is to change people's perception of pit bulls. And I think a cute ornament is a great way to show people the cuter side of pit bulls. I'm trying to figure ( Read more... )

OMG, I want a week staycation so badly. I just feel so burned out and overwhelmed. If I didn't have a wedding coming up, and other responsibilities I'd totally pack up and go stay with my Mama for a month or two.

Ugh!

So after my post about having no desire to do things, I decided to knuckle down and make some lists. I've got a list of projects to get completed this month at work on my dry erase board behind my desk at work. The other day I made a weekly list of tasks that I need to complete in order to move those projects from the "To Do" to the "Completed" ( Read more... )

So I already was making a list for my goals and some basic to do's through the end of the year. Some were bigger things with no set timeline "install shelves in laundry area" and some have actual deadlines, like "prepare items for Sept 24 Art Carnage ( Read more... )
