A List

Things that I need to do:

1. Get out of the house today before I explode like a nuclear bomb.

2. Go to the store for milk, bananas and whatever else I can come up with.

3. Make a menu of meals for the week.

4. Pry my children from the TV, computer, iPod screens.

5. Find some bunk beds... two sets. 

6. Clean my room (probably won't happen).

7. Find and take some sort of mood stabilizer pill.... do they sell those over the counter? Please?

8. Eat meat. Red juicy meat that melts in my mouth and gets rid of this dang craving I've been having for the last week. (Why don't men get cravings?)

9. Find something to wear that fits my mood. Probably not going to happen since I don't really have any t-shirts and I swear all my jeans have run for the hills.

10. Dress my children today, instead of letting them run around in their underwear like yesterday.

You're welcome to bring your juicy red meat to our grill tonight [assuming you know how to get it how you like it - The Man hasn't quite mastered the grill]. We're cooking out again tonight. Come if you want to.

@Rachel,

You're a doll. Thanks so much. I'm glad I seem genuine, sometimes my husband says I'm too open on my blog and I should scale back a bit (we've even fought about it before) but the fact is, I'm not sure I know how to 'scale back.' This is me, this is how I write and this is what helps me survive the day to day monotony. I don't think I could really change that.

@Mandi,

Tempting. I'm not sure what Ralexwin will want to do, but I'm going to assume he'll want to stay home as he only has about a week until the Bar. Last night he didn't come home until 11:30P from studying. BUT if he says yes I'll call you. Sound good?

Maybe the meat will be your mood stabilizer. A school counselor told me one time (when I was begging for help with my daughter's tantrums)that food makes a difference in how we feel. Just like some people can't function without enough sleep (I'm like that so I understood that perfectly)some people can't function normally without a good diet. *disclaimer* I'm not saying my daughter didn't have a good diet, I just hadn't thought of things from that perspective before. He also said that was true of exercise.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
