another manic monday....

after a week end of too much walking and shopping, i am very tired today. tom, joe and i did the friday running.... post office, then lunch. best buy to buy ink, and a neil diamond cd. joann's to buy at least some of the fabric for the upcoming wedding that i need to be working on. over to the ups store to mail jeremy's very heavy box in time for his birthday and then target, which was of course the downfall of the whole day. i did get a few christmas package ties and a couple of christmas-y items, but for the most part, not at all what i needed.

a quiet dinner at pedro's and then a quiet evening at home. a nice nap on the couch while joe watched a movie, and the ta da list was as done as it was going to get

saturday also started rather slow. i really wanted to get some work done in the sewing room, but my frustration at having not ordered groceries yet led me to trade cleaning the house for a trip to copps... and at least enough groceries for a few days. i am so frustrated by the things that i forgot. canned cat food. cat litter. dish soap.

and then sunday.... i just wanted quiet and to start the day slow and easy. i seemed to have this restless energy that didn't want to settle down. i worked some in the art room and made a huge difference in the yarn bins, moving all of the yarn from the red barrel into drawers. that felt really good. i so wish i had not blocked the attic doorway, because i'd like to have gotten another bin of yarn out of the attic, and so instead joe and i headed to wal mart.

now that was a huge mistake. i lost count at about $30, and ended up spending over $80. i am so sad that the little bit of money i have is going so fast, but i am doing well at getting some christmas put away and that does feel good.

the goal list on the white board is not getting much shorter and needs to be re written for this week. i had very much wanted to make my sunday a "finish it" day, and get several smaller projects done, but the overwhelming need to do something active took over and i need to just deal with that happening.

so the ta da list for today includes

lunch with phillip

putting away 4 halloween bins and unpacking two christmas bins

two loads of laundry

cooking dinner and doing the dishes

fitting a mock up dress for the bridesmaid dresses

beginning to create a list of "check in" items to allow a scoring system of rating my days.

creating a goal list for the week and working on menu ideas

dreaming about buying a new house and moving. moving moving moving!
