3 Things

Ladyjanewriter came up with this brilliant idea, but since I'm an oaf and a lazy ass, I shall downsize it.

3 Things That Need To Get Done Today:

You list 3 things that you should do, but don't really want to do and just freaking do them. Watching "The Martha Stewart Show" does NOT count. And, we're off:

1. Clean off the damn coffee table
2. Clean art supplies off kitchen table and put where they belong, not in a rubbish pile in the craft room.
3. Get thee to Ruby Tuesday's to apply for server job. I know it's not the dream job, but it will bring money in.

Okay, I'm actually going to go LJW one further. I'm making a list of 3 things I need to do EVERYDAY. I'm freaking unemployed, so I have no excuse of being "too busy watching Martha or Tyra".

1. Work on aprons
2. Paint/work on art journal
3. Meditate and a few yoga stretches.

Okay, right now I'm chatting with friends online and doing this blog, but I'm setting a time limit. At noon, I shall eat lunch, clean coffee table, do art journal, shower, hit Ruby's, and then work on aprons. I'm going to try my damndist to do it all, but we'll see...

New Year, New Hopes

Well, at the end of last year, I started busting out painting a bit more, thanks to Ms. Suziblu, the goddess. Please check out her site, if you haven't already. Oh, and send fur baby love for the late, great Mr. Pooh Kitty. My big thing now is working on the aprons for my etsy shop and hauling them around (via tupperware lady) town to pimp out. I've already sold about 10, but need to sell more!

Christmas was lovely in Milwaukee. My superfantastic in-laws got me a new Janome sewing machine and I was in shock. I couldn't stop hugging it. I still can't, but now that it's up and running and out of the box, it's a little more dangerous to do so. NYE sucked. I'm not going into it. Actually, Jan has pretty much sucked so far, but I'm trying to keep happy thoughts going and TCB.

So, I'm going to do a few more things on the net, and get back to ironing and sewing. I'd chew off my arm for a real ironing board (bending over a short dresser with a towel on it makes my back say OWIE), but a girl has to make due. I also want to paint something in my journal, but the aprons come first. Ka-ching!
