Motivation

All today at work I have been so motivated! Well not for work here, more crafting at home, but I digress. I can only hope I can keep this wave of motivation going through dinner and get a bunch of stuff done this evening! Keep moving forward!!! :)

It's a brand new day

Wow!!!! I crafted and I shall continue today. Started an excel spreadsheet to track expenses and income. I believe most everything is getting going. In the words of Winston Zedemore "we have the tools, we have the talent". Oh yeah about that meat eating business - I have since stopped and realized its just not good. It was a momentary weakness and I now remember the many reasons I stopped. Moving forward!

Oh the fun

So I went backwards a bit - and had a little bit of chicken in my sandwich. And yes, today I had a ton of vegetarian remorse for that.
But tonight I will be moving forward in two ways - vegetarian panini - homemade, and getting some things ready to craft tomorrow! Etsy here I come!
I also plan to get some more clutter clearing done tonight and tomorrow- love this kick of cleaning - some days it isn't as strong - but I keep plugging nonetheless! Yay!

Delutter = Destress

Whoa! More decluttering everywhere I go - and more to be done it seems! I love the feeling after getting things organized, even if I realize there is more to be done! I just want to tackle the coffee table and secretary desk - those are like weekly things - and then I am set for the day. After that its....drumroll please - crafting time! I have finally set up my etsy account and I need to get down to business! Lots of seriously great ideas - just need to get going on them! Well enough typing for now - there's cleaning to be done!

My Ode to the Bean Burrito

In my quest to go vegetarian - I have found what could be labeled as my go-to fast snack/meal. It is the bean burrito.

Bean Burrito, you are so easy to make.
I whip up some refried beans, with added garlic seasoning to taste.
All I add is guacamole and sour cream, wrapped up in a tortilla.
In less than five minutes, I have something healthy and yummy!
Bean Burrito, you fill me up without making me feel icky.
My belly reacts happily after my burritos.
You taste amazing and are easily changed up.
Sometimes I even get crazy and add tomatoes -fresh chopped.
So thank you, Bean Burrito. You are my new best friend.

Weekend of Awesome

Oh it was a wonderful weekend! Chip and I spend Saturday just being together and relaxing and having a great time. We went to Cracker Barrell for lunch and I found myself reading even the candy labels - that whole vegetarian thing. Sure, it was hard to resist the gummies, but I did find some other tempting treats - don't worry.
Today was UU Church with the water ceremony and the annual picnic. Now that was tons of fun! The food was amazing, and Chip's pasta salad was a hit! Our scavenger hunt team did wonderful - I even found a thistle! (pretty sure the first one I have ever found - thanks Mother Nature for helping us out!) We met a lot of wonderful people - and I am sure we will be seeing them a lot more!
But the weekend is slipping away - sigh, but tomorrow brings another day of doing fun things. Hopefully some creative things tomorrow!

Whirlwind!

Today I decided to tackle the clutter around the house. And tackle I did!
Moved around some magazines, did a bunch of laundry and dishes that piled up over the weekend (picnic at the house). I also went through all the junk mail, catalogs and miscellaneous mailings in the downstairs enough to recycle, shred and file the important stuff. The mega task was the ominous seven plastic sterilite drawers that continuously block my scrap area. Four are empty with contents put in better places. One has miscellaneous arts and craft supplies, but located under a table in stealth. The other two that remained are now in the basement with miscellaneous yet organized school supplies that need not occupy space in the upstairs. I still have much more to go - but I am loving this organizational kick. Last week I tackled parts of the bedroom - and that still needs more work too. But these dents are very visible. Can't wait to see the finished product. Goal date - mainly end of the week - I want to get some serious crafting done on the long weekend! :)
