marvelous mediocrity

aaaahhhh....

the sweetness of vacation time....

i'm planning on thoroughly enjoying my time off.

L, A, and E are coming to visit on Sunday and i should be trying to prepare the household for a mobile baby, but i have a feeling that it doesn't matter what i try to do, my apartment will always be a deathtrap.

sometimes, it feels like it's a deathtrap to me! lol.

i'm typing this as i watch my husband not so carefully dismantle the contents of the closet in our second bedroom looking for one elusive item.

and the cats rip around the apartment like they are greyhounds at a race track.

definitely a death trap.

so......any scrapbookers out there?

i got all this scrapbooking stuff so i could scrapbook the bazillion photos i have (wedding, cats, etc.) but it is just sitting in a tote in my closet mocking me. same thing with my jewelry making supplies. i've decided i need some way to make things easy access and neatly stored. if you have any brilliant ways to store scrapbooking mats or jewelry making mats so that they are easy access for doing projects and easy cleanup, let me know...

i need better organization than random tubs of stuff...........

and now i'm done babbling! happy weekend everyone!

so, flylady told me it was anti-procrastination day.

and i have to do what flylady tells me...

so i anti-procrastinated the thing i've been procrastinating for almost a year.

i got us a car loan.

which means in a few days, we are gonna have to go buy a car....

holy shit!

i'm not so good with the spending of thousands of dollars at a time...

(just in case you couldn't tell!)

meanwhile, blogger has changed me to the new blogger and i am deeply confused....

hopefully this doesn't destroy all the work i did on this silly little page....

oh, and santa came a day late at our house this year. he got eddie a bass and me a guitar so we can start a rock band.

be afraid. be very afraid.

ps: my guitar is red.....

the teapot mom got me matches my fiesta ware coffee mugs! if that isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen, i don't know what is!

it inspires me to drink oodles of fancy tea, to snuggle up with the lappy and actually start working on the poor unfinished abandoned novel....

hope you all have a great holiday!

but i've decided to return to the posting. it can be entertaining.

so i'm sitting here in my running clothes, procrastinating the return to exercise for just a few more minutes, wondering what, exactly, i was planning to write about.

i had a plan.

but it has disappeared. my brain doesn't hold ideas for very long it seems.

so, what have i been up to the last month? you may ask yourself this very question. and the answer is.....i don't know.

somehow time passes and nothing gets done. nothing important happens and no accomplishments are made. and you can't remember what you did with your time.

that was me this december.

i didn't exercise.

i ate nothing but sugar (and my body is very very angry with me about that.)

i don't know what i did this month.

oh well.

i've started trying to ween myself back into normalcy starting this week (great week to do that, eh?) i've started a 5K training program to get my butt back outside and TRYING to run. the long term goal being actually completing the marathon next fall.

but one must start somewhere.

and i get to go visit megs in her new home in Chi-town after the new year!!!

it has been a long time since i've been there....i'm looking forward to it...and hopefully i can hook up with some long-lost friends while i'm there!

alright. i'm done for now.

what is everyone's plan for x-mas and the new year holidays?

You Are a Trifle

No doubt, you have many intricate layers. But deep down, you're a little squishy.

i should just be candy....

cuz that's all i eat....

just so you know...

the next time you want to take a nap. don't drink a red bull.

that may seem obvious to many of you. but i really did think that an hour after i drank a red bull (a beverage i consume rarely these days) i would be able to nap.

instead i stared at the back of my eyelids for an hour.

i really was determined to nap.


in other news, there isn't much other news.

eddie and i are trying decide what we want to do about the holidays this year.

i personally wish to find a nice dark cave far away from the world to hibernate in.
