One of these days, I'll go to bed before 2

But that day is not today.

Two weeks suddenly feels like an incredibly small amount of time. I've got a pile of eyelet trim lying on my bedroom floor in rolls and tangles, and my mind is spinning with ideas for all this fabric.

But as for today, I dropped the ball on my January 1st Post.

Last year in church, Pastor talked about not making resolutions so that we may have our "yes be yes and our no be no" so I'm leaning toward no resolution at all. However, there are a lot of things I'd like to see happen this year.

So a year is 365 days. One down, so 364. For 365 days I Will Try


To keep my GPA at or above the 3.28 it is at right now.

To Live Healthier (physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally).

Be a better steward of my money.

To make amends in my relationship with God.

To look at myself as His creation, and not as my own mistake.


These are things that are going to take a lot of work, so I might as well throw in overcoming laziness and procrastination, too. My classes next semester aren't going to be a breeze, so there'll be a lot of work and a lot of library time. I have a weakness for mozarella sticks, and lane tends to have a pretty limited selection and I loathe going to the gym. I love shopping more than almost anything and I spend money carelessly unless I keep a tight leash on my budget. I've harbored some resentment and doubts about God off and on for a while, but it is something that I need to work on, so that's up there too.
Then there's all my self esteem issues that I'm going to try to let go on so that I can live up to what I'm supposed to be.

Then there's this:

This year, I want to Create. It's my word, if you will, for 2012. {So if the world ends in firey destruction in december, I'm going to be pretty bummed}. But give me crafts, give me arts, give me that Camera that I so desperately want, and beauty will become it.

So those are my goals for this year. Solid?

What are your resolutions? All...four of my readers. {Four followers! How exciting!}

Happy New Year. I hope you have a wonderful first week of the 2012.

Woah Guys

Finished up the project and at 11 last night decided to paint my dresser too. Now they are snazzy matching pieces of furniture. Ohhh yeah.

I'll take a picture and post it when my room is clean and nice looking. I've got a bit of work to do. And as for today, I'm off to get the locks chopped. Have a lovely day. It's the second to last of 2011.

Blue Tape.

So. Much. Of it.

Tomorrow we paint. As for tonight, I think I'll be sitting around and watching Funny People or something on TV.

And that's about it. Welcome to my simply thrilling life.

Ah, yes. Kwanzaa.

Well guys, I missed the mark there. Forgot all about it. It was boxing day too. But again, I forgot to care. Happy twenty-seventh of december though.

I've been crafting up a storm, much to my right-sided glory, and am now wearing the failure of socks that I threw together in approximately ten minutes. But boy are they cozy.

My socks and my mess

My mom gave me this really awesome trunk that was covered with the particularly hideous vinyl paper deal, so I spent a bit of time cutting, peeling, and prying it off. Tomorrow, I go to parkhurts to retrieve sandpaper {or, probably, a sand sponge}, and upholstery tacs.

And then.

I paint. Hurrah! I bought stencils and stuff today, primer, paint, the works. I love this. So when I'm done It'll be supes pretty and supes useful. It currently holds all my crafting stuff {which is actually multiplying rapidly} in organized little boxes that I've enjoyed putting together and decorating. So that's what I did with my night. And now I'm sitting in my room {that's right! My ROOM!} staring at the mess and wishing I were eating something. I think my mom's upset that I'm not asleep yet though, so I'm a little nervous to go venturing out into the kitchen to find something. Maybe I'll check to see if the Whitman's sampler is still on bookshelf outside my room. There may not be chocolate left in the morning if I get ahold of it.

And I'm watching The Wedding Date which I scored for five bucks in five dolla bin at Walmaht.

I would be watching The Mirror has Two Faces except I think I left it in Maine. 

What else have I done since I've been home....?

Watched Zeke, which I'll do again tomorrow. Eaten a lot. That's about it.

Well now it's 1:07am and I should probably head to bed so that I don't waste my day tomorrow sleeping {as if sleeping is ever a waste}. 

Bon soir!
