I Know It's Been a While!

But you're going to have to wait just a little longer. I have some big plans in the making, and I can't wait to reveal them to you. But it's going to have to wait. Until then please be patient with the lack of anything interesting here.Right now I'm obsessed with this tiny pot that I bought at Target for a dollar. It came with soil and strawberry seeds. It is my very first project in growing things. My Mom and sister are fabulous gardeners. Growing up we always had fresh veggies and berries to munch on in the summer and fall. My Grandma also tended a garden, but hers was chock full of the most beautiful roses. Someday when I have a house I hope I will find the time to garden. Until then I will keep an eye on my tiny sprouts above.

Aaaarrgh!!!

Seriously what are the producers of American Idol doing?!!!? They put some pretty irritating/horrible people through to the top 36. I almost went on strike but then I remembered that there are some people I'm anxious to see do well. But honestly Tatiana, Norman Gentle?!? What are they thinking.

I have to say I appreciate the new judge Kara. She seems way more put together and normal than Paula. So far she seems like a legitimate opinion. We shall see how this season goes. Could be good... but it could be a train wreck too.

Why?

So I bet your wondering why I have gone so long with out a crafting post. A tutorial? A project? A giveaway? Well this is why.Pretty embarrassing I must say. This is my craft closet (and coat closet. And whatever else we can't find storage for closet.), and it has looked like this since Christmas. Needless to say I haven't been able to find anything in it, and I'm too scared to actually get in there and clean it. Scared or lazy? Well guess what my project is for this week. That's right! I'm going to get this baby organized. So hopefully by next week I'll have another little something to share with you!

Boo

Our car got broken into last night. Our window was shattered but oddly enough nothing was stolen. I guess that's a good thing. I just feel a little violated about it.

January Update

In January I ran 20.87 miles. I walked 7 miles with my friends. I visited 2 new parks. I cooked 4 new recipes and 3 of them worked out. I made pancakes 2 times and Amish Baked Oatmeal once. I have successfully stayed on the Slim Fast Diet for one month (Ok so I cheat on the weekends). I drank at least 1 more glass of water a day than I usually do. I painted my nails 3 different times with three different colors. I cleaned out two closets. I watched too much T.V. but I did read 3 books. January was a great month.

There has been a couple of times this month when someone has asked me what I've been up to and after thinking for a second I just say not much. Well this is what I've been doing. It may seem boring to some, but these are the little things that make my life great. I'm slowly working on this list, to make sure I don't get caught up in all my many roles and keep a sense of self.
