That's IT!

I have to do it. I have to start a project. I just sat here for an hour and a half perusing other craft-y blogs and that's all I do. Look.

I am officially going to make Alice a skirt. Or an apron. She requested one tonight. I bought a pillowcase for 99cents today at Savers. I was going to make a skirt, but I suppose I could do matching aprons.

Now. Maybe I could start it during the Packer game tomorrow and get it done by the time she's up from her nap. Well. Now. I think I'm getting a little too ambitious.

I'll start it. we'll see when it actually gets done. Maybe in time to make some "s'mores marshmallows" for Troy for his birthday on Saturday :).

My life... in a nutshell

So it's about 9:45 on a Saturday night. Kiddos are up reading books until they fall asleep. I am downstairs on the computer. Par for the course. We had pizza for dinner - I had 3 pieces, then I ripped open the bag of chocolate covered peanuts I bought tonight. Even when I bought them at Target, I think I literally uttered the words aloud "this is not a good idea". Well, imagine that. I ate nearly the whole bag. WHY do I do this?

I've found two pair of KICK ASS 'high end' pairs of jeans at thrift stores, that I want to fit into. I can wear them now, it is possible. But the muffin top is one scary-ass sight. I don't want to wear pants that, if I move the wrong way, will be visually disturbing for anyone unlucky enough to witness it. So off needs to come about 5 pounds. i wish i could just request that weight to come off of my outer thighs and tire around my middle.

I did take 3 days off in a row from working out this week. Day 1 and 2 were truly because I was ill, day 3 was just milking it. And lack of motivation. Normally, I am very, very dedicated to working out. my days revolve around it. Yesterday, nope, not one iota. Oh, and the fact that it was about -20 degrees may have played into it a bit. The fam went to the farm, so I was alone. No excuses. Today I was back on the horse - 45 min on the elliptical. Tomorrow we're going to go snowshoeing. I kinda feel like I should go do a 2 mile run quick tomorrow morning... but we'll see.

Anyhoo... life's good. i'm happy.

What to do?

I've become addicted to looking at craft blogs... I even go to the thrift stores, ideas floating around in my head, on the hunt for items to begin a craft project. Then I get there, and go back to my normal routine, and forget what I'm looking for. Is it an adults large short sleeve t-shirt or is it a pillowcase? Or was it ribbon? Ugh.. I have to start writing this stuff down so I don't forget.

I also need to narrow my focus. Sewing? Repurposing items? Making jewelry?

I guess it's good I've got an open mind.. but I need to close it a little in order to actually start and FINISH a project.
