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

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

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...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
