hello, hello

I’m still here just, I don’t know.  Uninspired I guess?  Busy and tired and when the end of the day comes I don’t feel like writing.  I haven’t even started my Christmas newsletter which is ridiculous considering I have a photo for it that I paid for (or at least, will have to eventually pay for) and then what?

Steve is watching something and people are in a field listening to music.  They flashed on a Mama and her newborn with ear protectors on, dancing and having a lot of fun.  I want that.  The dancing and the baby and the fun and music out doors.
This year I have resolved to finish things.  I have a lot of things that aren’t finish.  I do finish many of my projects but still there are a lot of my projects that tend to linger.  Nothing I feel guilty about, it isn’t keeping me up at night, but it always feels good to finish things.  I’ve also resolved to do less housework.  Well, not specifically do less housework, just spend more time living and less time on the day to day crap.  Although you can’t let the day to day crap go completely so this one is harder than you’d think.  Where is the balance?  What gives, what do you have to do so that you’re not dealing with a disaster later?
And those last few sentences show just how privalaged my life is.

My first completed project for 2012 was the kid’s 2011 Christmas ornaments.  Hey, at least I’m predictably late but I finished them before Christmas 2012 so I WIN.  ha!

the entire gang

The whole gang includes ornaments for other lucky kids.  I just mailed them yesterday, so you know, their mothers are going to be cursing me when they have to dig out the Christmas box to store them.  oops!

    They’re all adorable and well worth digging out the holiday boxes for! The penguins are my favs. I tried to make a Minnie Mouse ornament–fail, lol.

    p.s. It’s always nice to hear what you’re up do–I’m having a mid-winter blogging slowdown too. I’m fighting it, but it’s winning :)

    Candi – technically you still have 11 months to get it done and on next year’s tree ;) .
