so Yesterday I did what I wanted to do. what I had planned. It felt like an accomplishment! here's what I have planned for today:

-eye appointment to see how my vision is.. I got Lasik almost 2 months ago and it's time to see how I see! DEFINITELY better than when I had glasses.

-blood donation.. pretty self explanatory. lol

-work on products for an hour and a half.. at least..

-practice guitar for 15 minutes

and of course clean a bit and make dinner.

let's get started! lol

New year

I've always thought that new years resolutions were a bit dumb. Everyone always resolves to eat healthier, lose weight, be a better person, spend more time with family, enjoy life more, quit smoking, quit drinking... While these are all valid goals, they could be done at ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. If one needs a date to do something, why not at the beginning of the month? That gives you 12 chances a year to change yourself. and your habits, and possibly even start over your goal you failed at last month.
My resolution for 2011 is to make a resolution every new moon. I suspect a lot of my resolutions are going to be wedding related, that's fine though :)
Today having a new moon, my resolution for this phase is to set a daily schedule for myself, not an unbreakable timetable, but a set of daily goals I'd like to accomplish. Also to have a booth in Gibraltar weekend market by the last weekend of the month (29th,30th). Seems like more than one goal, but the schedule is to get my ass in gear working on stock for the booth. This is a goal that I've been procrastinating on for a while.
Goals for today include cleaning for a bit (rather than completely ignoring it) and work on gaining stock for 2 hours minimum. I have a meeting this afternoon so the list is short :)

In other news- our mortgage is down to the 112's! WOOT! slow and steady :)

Have a good day!

Music is good for the soul

I've always been a bathroom pop star. I enjoy singing and could sing for hours straight. Just because I enjoy it, doesn't mean I'm good at it. cause I'm not.
My family has always been musical. My mom being in a country band when I was young-Singing and playing the bass; my eldest brother being in various bands-also singing, playing the guitar, banjo, and I seem to remember a fiddle being played by him a few times, my youngest brother is a rapper in BC, and my biological father is a drummer.
Until now, I've never played an instrument. (other than the forced trumpet in elementary school) a few weeks back I went to a friend of my Fiance's whose uncle owns a pawn shop and he hooked me up with a guitar, hard case and strap for $80. I had to buy new strings for the guitar, but those are cheap.
I was going to pay for a course online, but I've been learning just fine using Youtube. I enjoy it. It has healed a damaged soul.

Fools Rush in

Why are people so quick to get married these days? I received a call last night from a friend that I haven't talked to in a long time. D. D has always been a good Christian girl, (Yes, I said 'good' Christian) Hardly ever having a 'boyfriend'. now she's been 'talking' to this christian guy from a different church for 4 months, has met him a few times and he proposed to her! they're getting married in August next year.. WTFOMGBBQ?!

I'm a big believer in test driving a car before you buy it. I am a definite example of that. my partner and I have been together for 10 years, and have lived together for 4. I'm not saying to rush in to bed with someone, but FUCK! you get a serious idea of how someone REALLY behaves when you live with them.

Another thing! if you test drive a car, and it runs, but it stalls every time you go over 35, wouldn't you think there's a problem? WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BUY THE CAR?!?
I have another friend, that's getting married, and she KNOWS her fiance has blatantly betrayed her for their entire relationship, all of a sudden he has decided he wants to get married. There has also been all of these signs and roadblocks for them in terms of the actual getting married part, but those who refuse to look, choose to be blinded.

On a brighter note, yesterday, Tim and I went shopping, and I bought a vat of my favorite perfume for CHEAP! ok, not a vat, but 1oz and a 'solid perfume' which kinda looks like lip gloss, but I'm afraid to use it. AND a pretty box for $35! Woot!

Titled/Untitled

I've learned to appreciate water more. Not waste it. On wednesday I was doing dishes and the seal around the tap broke. covered me in water and hit the stove. For the rest of Wednesday, and part of Thursday I didn't have water to ONE tap in the house. I didn't eralize how much I use that tap. for rinsing off dishes, washing pots, making juice, getting water to wipe off random things, when I burn myself... and countless other things.

I've always thought I was pretty mindful with my water consumption. Timed showers, I'll even turn off the shower if i'm doing something that doesn't require a lot of water..when I'm by myself, if it's yellow, let it mellow. even when I do dishes I turn off the tap some of the time.

do I really need to wash my dishes before I wash my dishes? no. worst case scenario I should fill up the sink with water and do them like that rather than let it run. I tend to do that a lot. Especially with pots, because I don't use the dishwasher for that.
that's my mission. Stop using so much damn water!

Nails are green today. I'm starting over NOT biting them. I failed.
It's Friday. why is it the week seems so much longer when Monday's a holiday?

nothing and everything

This morning the sky looked like it was on fire. It was beautiful. That's one thing I like about waking up early. Another thing I like is getting off of work early. Really. that's it. Being here so early is making me crazy. I can't seem to get to sleep before 11:30, and waking up at 5 is SO hard. once I'm here I'm okay, but then when I get home, I have no energy to do anything. So therefore my house is a disaster most of the time.
I think I might switch to afternoons for a bit. just like 2 weeks.

hmm

I love..

Exploring new places
hanging out at heights I'm too scared to look down from
Kissing in public
when I'm right
when I get proven wrong and learn something from it
the smell outside after it rains (dirt and worms, Tim calls it)
encouraging children to misbehave by smiling at them
randomly breaking out into song
dancing
when I completely zone out in my craft room and go on a craft binge
street meat
