I have been so busy with my last week of the school session that I haven't started sewing yet. I have been organizing my sewing projects though. The sewing shall start this weekend YAY! I am having such a hard time with my math class. I am barely passing. Medisoft is almost done too and I'm a bit sad, but I know the next classes I take will be just as awesome. This session wore me out. Though I think Samantha being sick has been part of my stress and exhaustion. Her blood work should be ready tomorrow, so I will post an update as soon as I get it.
I guess that's it for now... I'm off to shower and then sleep. I am so darn tired.
P.S. Samantha is a blanket hog. She has been sleeping in my bed and, every night I wake up cold, with very little of the blankets covering me. I feel sorry for the man who marries her.

Things not going as planned.
This year has started out pretty good. Though there are some things I had hoped I would start or complete. I have done neither in any of the things on my list. Shame on me! I'm being a procrastinator again. So I am looking over my list & revamping it.
It seems as if this week is going by so slow, yet I can't get anything done. Tell me how that makes sense? It doesn't help that my house is freezing. I have the space heater in my room because the cold doesn't bother the kids. I ask them all the time if they are cold & they always answer no. Must be nice to not freeze your butt off every night. My house needs cleaning but it is too cold downstairs to do anything. I have to bundle up with 3 blankets to watch a movie with Samantha. I know I am whining, but I swear as I get older it gets colder. I bring the space heater into every room with me, even the kitchen.
This weekend the plan is to help Samantha with her cell project. Go down town to take some photos. I was asked by a classmate to photograph the beautiful purses, shawls, and jewelry she makes. I'm not sure when she wants that done. I also want to finish a project for my room, so I can move the furniture around. I just need to find someone I can borrow a step ladder from. The following weekend I want to work on reorganizing my living room & getting rid of one of my couches. I'm also going to start selling some things on Craigslist & Ebay. I have way to much stuff & I need to get rid of it.
I really need to keep things moving. I'm horrible at motivating myself, hopefully, I can get the whip cracking this weekend.

What's the Plan Stan?
I am trying to write out a plan for my blogging. First in the plan is to write everyday. Even if it's something lame. I was trying out some writing exercises from a few sites. Maybe I will use those as fillers when I have a hard time. I am a writer who likes to interact with others, so I will have to think of some blogs that can include all of you. I think I will have to read through all my old blogs and see what is unfinished. I can continue with old blogs and complete blogging projects I forgot about. That sounds like a start, right?
I am reevaluating my bucket list at the moment. I hope to have some new and exciting things to add. One will be me challenging myself to face some of my fears. We'll see how that goes. Minus Clowns, I will never attempt to deal with Clowns. They scare me to death and with halloween here, I have to see them a lot.
So, I am looking for some blogging and bucket list ideas. It would be awesome if you can help me out.
Some other plans in the works-
1. I will be doing something like Lent for the Holidays. The rules are the same, but the dates are Day after Thanksgiving to Christmas Day (for you if you want to participate) or New Years Day (this one is for me).
- No beef, pork, soda/ coffee (which ever is your addiction), no fast food, no junk food.
We all over indulge durring the Holidays so I thought this would be a good idea to try. I don't celebrate Christmas Day, so I don't have to worry about over eating, though I will not be able to have my favorite spiral ham. I guess I can have it for New Years Day dinner.
2. Planning on going back to school. Cross your fingers it all works out. I will hopefully know something by the end of next week.
3. I am late for my Fall Cleaning, so I will be doing that for the next 2 weeks. I will sell, barter, or give away anything that I no longer NEED on Craigslist. Hopefully that goes well. I sold my air conditioner, and gave away my table on there, so I think I will be okay.
I think this is it for now. I'm going to go watch some movies and have adult conversation with a good friend of mine. After a day of horrid menstrual cramps and headache, I need some relaxing.

What has changed this past month & what I hope happens next month.
Blog Challenge days 29 & 30 go well together, So I decide to wait until this evening to post. Day 29 is to be a photo of myself & Day 30 asks: What changed this month and what you hope will happen next month.
This is me, no make up (not like I wear it that often anyway), hair pulled back like always and just my sports bra. Not much to look at now, I think I was pretty once upon a time. I just let myself go.
What changed this month? I think i have changed a bit, for the better. I realized some things about myself that I feel are horrible habits and/ or traits to have. Some horrible habits I have known for a long time. I chose to ignore the fact that they were bad for me. I don't exercise enough, I walk everywhere, but I don't actually exercise. I drink tons of soda, eat too much snack foods instead of meals, and my sleep pattern is off. I think i really need to change that.Why am I wanting to do this all of a sudden? I'm not, I've said this plenty of times before. What makes it different this time is I have noticed how much money I am spending, time I'm consuming, and life I am wasting. Not to mention I am starting to look very old. I am not happy about that, mostly because people in my family don't age well. If I don't do something now I will look old and really gross in five years. UGH five years from now I will be 40. I'm not worried about the age really but, I am worried about what my health will be like when I become 40. Yeah it may too little too late, but I'm going to try anyway.
I don't want to just better myself health wise but mentally as well. I feel that i am at a low point right now and can't get out. All I want to do is sleep while the kids are in school and then go about my day/night when the kids are home. I feel sluggish, anti-social, and just plain stupid. I want to do things that will bring me back up emotionally. I want to find ways to stimulate my brain. I'm so bored with myself and life. I kind of like being anti-social though. I always end up being someones therapist or end up participating in gossip and hate talk. GAH! Why are we as a society so interested in talking shit about everyone else like we are better than them. I think most of the time I am saying WTF? Really, they did/said that? Why would they do/say that? It's old and repetitive. I'm done.
What do I hope will happen next month? Well it's June and the kids get out of school on the eighth. David (my son) has his eighth grade Promotion Ceremony on the seventh. YAY! David was also accepted into the AHS EDGE Academy. We went to the EDGE Expo and ribbon cutting ceremony tonight. It was very exciting. For the month of June, I hope start to better myself. I have a list of things I want to do this summer. I have goals I want to accomplish as well. June is the starting month. I am giving myself 3 months to get some things done and some things started. I don't want to start out doing it all at once and then give up cause I am asking too much of myself right off. Stepping stones is the way to do it. I figure start something new every two weeks and I should be okay. There are thirteen weeks until September 1st. I have eight total goals/challenges for summertime.
Challenges
1. Detox- Tea, fruit, and veggies for 30 days (water is a given)
2. No Facebook (exception for Davids Promotion Ceremony/dinner)
3. 30 day book challenge: How many can I read. (I may change it to the whole summer)
4. Summer self portrait challenge (a photo of myself everyday this summer)
Goals
1. walk/jog & Body Rock everyday (cardio or dance three times a week)
2. Make 5 purses/bags
3. Make 3 stuffed animals (one for each of my kids)
4. Make a quilt
The detox is needed. I ingest way to much sugar, salt, and caffeine. I will be substituting tea for soda and will gradually add coffee in the mornings. I'm not a big fan of coffee but will have one serving in the morning sometimes. I walk a lot already but I would like to add some jogging into it and go for longer distances. The Body Rock program will be great for me to do instead of going to a gym and I can even do the exercises anywhere if I have my phone. The photo challenge is more for me to record my progress.
I have all this stuff sitting in garbage bags waiting to be cut and sewn into something new, and I think it's time to recycle those items. Plus it will declutter my apartment and help me get back into non-consumerism.

Update I guess.
I have been busy but not. I hurt my foot and went to the emergency room. Yay me! They didn't do an ex-ray but said I sprained my ankle and tore some ligaments. I don't know how they figured that all out just by looking at my foot. What else happened... oh yeah I dyed my hair blondish, I'm going to San Francisco for the weekend and my sons birthday is coming up.
I found this website called 30daychallenges.net and think I will try it out. I saw a few challenges I would like to try, plus I think it would be a great way to get my mind focused. I think there are some good writing projects in there as well. If you try or have tried 30daychallenges.net please let me know what you think. Also, my friend Tammi told me about another great website called National Novel Writing Month, now I'm not that great of a writer but it is on my bucket list to write a novel and here is my start. Thank you so much Tammi.
I'll leave my thoughts here for now. I''l try to post my San Francisco adventure this weekend. We're smogging the van and going to see The Raven. I am so freaking excited, about seeing The Raven, not smogging the van. HA
xoxo,
Lisa
P.S. Spellcheck wants to change smogging into SNOGGING. We don't want to make out with the van. sheesh, haha

Lent: Day 5 bored already
I am so bored with Lent already. I'm doing well though. I did have a piece of salami today, then I remembered it's Good Friday, oopsy. I am really craving salty foods. I am hoping this craving will pass soon because it's driving me crazy. I had cereal for breakfast and chicken noodle soup (minus the chicken) for dinner. No lunch today though I had the salami and a Hawaiian sweet roll. I do need to drink more water. Everything else is great. I'm starting to feel more energetic as my body flushes all the toxins and caffeine out of my system. I'm going to destroy this weeks efforts tomorrow when I have pizza and a soda. I need to exercise more. I plan on downloading an interval timer app for my phone. I'm trying to figure out which one would be best for me.
I didn't do much today, I just kind of hung out and cleaned up. It was a boring day. I say it's time to get motivated and start some projects.

Nothing Special 2.18.11
No really, I have nothing special to say. I just want to blog some randomness.
What's Coming Up
-I am trying to revamp my blog to make it more ME. Still working on it and trying different things out. So.... If you come here and see it looks different every couple of days, it's just me trying to get it just right.
-I have a few blogs I am working on all at once. They are sitting in my drafts waiting to be posted. I'm done with one but it needs to come after my Facebook blog , which is almost done. I have a third, but having some difficulty getting my thoughts across.
-My daughter Samantha's birthday is coming up and it's an "At the Movies" theme. I'm working on how it will go smoothly, but I doubt it.
Up & Coming Blogs
- My friend Gabe O. wants me to do a blog on corn flakes. I don't know why. So I will find some way to write about it. I guess thats what I get for asking my friends on Facebook for blog ideas.
- Facebook: I will blog about it and some other goodies.
- Money blog: about what I buy and con-consumerism.
- Relationship titles: girlfriend vs lady-friend, open relationships, and dating in general.
Possible Projects
- I am thinking about some projects I can do on this blog. Special themes or whatnot. I'll let you know more when I figure out how to get my thoughts all organized.
- Special topics- Chris Brogan is a fantastic blogger, and he has a list of blogs and podcasts topics. I plan on writing about some of the topics starting next week. The Facebook blog actually came from 3 of Chris Brogans topics.
*How I use Facebook
*My mother is on Facebook
*Facebook applications I love
I hope to be able to find more great topics that peak my interest and write.
Well that's all for now, I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
xoxo,
Lisa
