how does more than a month go by so quickly? real life (and laziness) has certainly gotten in the way of my creative and blogging adventures. but that's how it goes. must press on and make more of an effort. make any effort at all really!
so i sit here on a sunny Sunday morning, sabotaging my diet by eating loads of Valentines chocolates and thinking of all the things i want to do. (let me first clarify that i do not have a "valentine" for myself...my sweet sister-in-law and bro gave me yummy Ghiradelli chocolates. mmm, caramel filled milk chocolate. i'm sure i'll have a delightful batch of chocolate-induced acne after this little slip...eh, it's worth it!) it's an improvement that i'm thinking of things i want to do, rather than need to do, i think. so it's a new start. once again. we'll see how long the inspiration lasts! maybe it's the sunshine? after blizzards, below freezing temps, and lots of clouds the past 2 weeks, it's supposed to be sunny and in the 60's this week (yep, that's Oklahoma!). so hopefully the jump into spring will provide some lasting motivation!
and now, i would like to confess...i have a sickness: a desperate compulsion to purchase every book i think would be interesting to read. i recently decided to move the 3-foot stack of books that are just waiting to be read, from towering next to my bed into my already stuffed bookshelves. in hindsight, i realize this might be a problem, because now i forget i have all these books to read, and continue to buy more. damn you, amazon.com! (no no, i didn't mean it! i love you amazon!) so i made a list today: 29 novels, and 19 how-to/self-help/diet/religion/business/inspiration books on my to-read list. daunting. time to give the tv a break and get to reading!
and sewing. my studio beckons. my poor Bernina is literally collecting dust. shameful! so once again, it's re-activation time. create, read, move...live.
off to do one of those things!
