The clock's a tickin'

I'm feeling a bit scattered this morning... whenever I have a certain time frame for my day (ie: being to work by noon) I literally feel mocked by the clock in the hours preceeding the deadline. I have approximately three hours before I need to leave. I'm home alone, and the house is quiet. And there are so many things I could do with my time.

I could:
  1. Spend the entire time reading blogs and message boards. Oh, and I really wanted to google ribs to find out if women really do have one more rib than men.
  2. Fold the laundry and hang the shirts that have been sitting on that one chair across the room for four days.
  3. Work on my art journal entry for this week.
  4. Clean my studio.
  5. Vacuum and mop - my least favorite household chores, but it always feels good to get it done.
  6. Start my next class sample - a Home Organizer mini-book - a cute little book for all your measurements and paint samples and fabric swatches...
  7. Go to the fabric store and buy the fabric for the kitchen curtains.
  8. Read - I've got two great books going right now.
  9. Paint and recover two of my kitchen chairs.
  10. Call my Mom.
  11. Go through my magazine stacks. Seriously need to purge.
  12. Walk the dog.
  13. Play the piano. I seldom sit down to play anymore and it's a treat when I take the time.
  14. Go through my closet. Seriously need to purge here too.
  15. Start that canvas that's been on my studio floor for weeks. I have an idea for a collage I want to try.

See - how to choose?

What would you do?

Maybe I'll just dive in and see how many of them I can get done... Ooh - that sounds like fun!

Have a great Friday, everyone... dontcha love Fridays?

    I VOTE FOR CALLING MOM :)

    Doesn't sound like you will be bored...
    This morning I bought paint for my two new unfinished scrapbooking chests I recently bought. Trying to decide if I want to take that on today. I keep telling myself it is too cold to do it in the garage but don't feel it's a good idea to do it here in the house so it is easy to put off but I am anxious to get them done.
    BUT there are SO MANY things I SHOULD be doing - (like working on my ME page for all the jobs I have had and clean the house Ugh!)
    I know exactly how you feel, Cath.

    I think it's the other way around (re: women and ribs). I think men have one more than women...hence the whole "Adam's Rib" thing...which I hear are GREAT with a nice dark beer and lots of sauce.

    Cathy,
    Hey there. My least favorite chore around the house is anything doing with the floors. I dont like sweeping or mopping either! Of course it is a must, I just dont enjoy doing either at all.

    I am anxious to know what you accomplished. I feel like I havent accomplished anything for quite awhile... maybe I need a journal for real huh? Like one I can really use and such... yea, that sounds good.

    Anyway, my friend.. hope you have a beauiful weekend. I hope you are blessed in a very special way! Hugs, Tawnya

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
