Going to be busy

For the past week now I have been really busy with real life. I have been going so much these past few days that I really haven't had the need to check out any information on the best diet pills that are available on the market. I have my own diet plan. I don't have time to eat. LOL No, seriously I have so much to do these days that eating has been the last thing on my mind. And it's going to get worse before it gets better. Hopefully in a few weeks, my time will be my own once again and maybe, I'll even find the time to eat every once in a while.

Spring cleaning

Well I have most of my spring cleaning done. I only have a couple of rooms in the house left to do and then I have to move on to our porch. I have been putting off this particular space as it really is a mess and it's going to take me quite awhile to get it all done. There are so many shoes and boots out there that I'm having a hard time telling the difference between my Mephisto shoes and the regular ones. Oh well, when I do finally talk myself into going into this room and clear it all out, some of this footwear will have to go. I only have two feet, so I really don't need twenty pairs of shoes now do I?

Yard work

Yesterday we finally had a pretty decent day weather wise. So after the kids got home from school and did their homework, I took them outside for a little fun and relaxation. While they were playing, I buckled down and did a massive amount of yard work. If I keep up the pace I did yesterday, I really won't need to invest in any of the best fat burners this summer. I'll just let nature take it's course. Although I did quite a bit of work yesterday, I still have a lot left to do so I'm thinking that's probably something I'm going to do today as well.

I just love spring, don't you??

More jewelry

Well yesterday I did something that I haven't done in a very long time. I created some more handcrafted jewelry. Now with my craft room set up, it is so much easier and less time consuming to do one of my favorite hobbies. Although I only created one necklace with a matching pair of earrings, it did give me the motivation to get back into it. So later on today I'm going back in my room to create more. I have decided to concentrate on the making of the jewelry for now and worry about ways to sell it later.

Back to crafting

Well, I think life has finally slowed down for a little while so it's time that I start up my crafting business once again. It is only a very small business and I am the only employee. LOL So I really don't need any industrial equipment supplies or anything like that. I have everything I need to start to build up my crafting inventory once again. All I needed was the motivation and the time. And now I think I have both of those. So wish me luck and once I have a bit of inventory created, I'll be sure to pop back in here and post all my creations.

Family portrait

Although our entire family does not live in our home any longer, my husband has decided that it's time for us to finally get a family portrait taken. We have been together for 15 years now and have never had a portrait taken. So, I think it's about time don't you? We are planning on doing this sometime in May. Not only will I be getting tons of copies made to give to family and friends, but I also plan on purchasing a digital frame to display these pictures in my home. The kids are quite excited about this event and if I can talk them into behaving and not making a lot of silly faces, I really do think that this event will be a great one.

Camping

Just a little over a month and our official camping season will have started. The kids are looking forward to this event and have been talking about getting ready for camping for quite some time now. But now they have a new concern, they are wondering what they are going to do with their brand new Hamster when they go camping. I told them he will be fine for the little bit of time that we are away. Now if we went to the Outer Banks through any Outer Banks rentals we would have to look for a Hamster sitter. But for the short amount of time we are away, I think the little guy would be just fine.

Craft Room

Well my home office is no more. Yesterday I discovered that I have to have my computer hooked up to the modem and router for any of our computers to work so I've moved my computer back out to the kitchen table. So now the little room that I was using for my home office is now my craft room. Now I definitely have the space to work on my jewelry, sewing and my latest obsession... making rubber stamps. I'm glad that I now have room for all these activities, but am seriously annoyed that I now have to work out in the kitchen once again.

Funny story

Earlier today I was posting about the fact that I don't have a whole lot of time these days to myself. I also mentioned that I had today off and that it would be my only day this week to myself as I have been working quite a bit lately and now the kids are on Easter break.

Well, this is where the funny part comes in. While I was posting about all this, I got a phone call and was called into work yet again. So the day was busted and the one day that I was looking forward to to be able to call my own was completely lost. Oh well, next week is coming.

It's been awhile

Hey folks!

What have you all been up to lately? As you can tell from my lack of posts, I haven't been posting very much as real life has gotten a bit busy these days. I have decided that I probably am going to give up this blog as I really don't have the time to devote to it that I used to have. I have been working a lot more lately at my outside jobs and haven't even been able to find the time to check out Orlando vacations to take with my family this coming summer. There are so many things that I need to get done that I just don't have the time for that I have to start giving up some activities. And it looks like running and maintaining this particular blog just may be one of them.

But, as always, I'll let you know when I make a decision on this matter.

He's turning 70

This year is a pretty special year for my father in law. This year he will be turning 70. The family has gotten together and we have planned a surprise birthday party. He has no idea that we are doing this. My husband and I have enrolled him in the wine of the month club and his two sisters pooled their money together to pay for a small trip for him and his new wife. So I think he will be pretty pleased with his birthday surprises this year. Now all I need to do is to keep the kids from spilling the beans and then it will be a great birthday all the way around.
