8 Months Later….

I finally get the gumption to write again. Ha!

So, I was perusing Pinterest and looking at some of the things I pinned. Such a strange thing Pinterest is, spend all of this time looking at ideas, saving them into categories, only to continue looking at ideas an never look at them again. Or is that just me? Could be me….  Anyway, I saw where I had pinned some of my pictures from my old blog. The one I took offline almost 2 years ago. I started reading through it. Very interesting.  So much has changed and yet so much hasn’t. I haven’t been any form of vegetarian in a long, long time and I can honestly say that I miss it.  I don’t think I’ll ever be anything other than a flexitarian at this point.  I hate to be defined into one category anyway, it’s too much pressure for perfection.

Since my last post in January, I started working part-time again. I’m back to crafting and I’m eager to start posting about those things again.

That’s it for now. I’m back!

Snow Days

I’ve been hanging out visiting  my parents in Western PA for the last week and simply relaxing as best I can. Mum and I have been out running around shopping and eating and most of our usual shenanigans. Unfortunately , it’s been ridiculously cold and snowy. So there’s been a little less running around and more time spent around the house. It’s been a good visit, as always, but soon I’ll be back on the road.

Since I’ve had some free time to myself, especially in the car, I’m trying to formulate a plan, in my head at least, for what I need and want to accomplish  when I return home. I need to organize my time a little better and accomplish  more in one day than usual.  When I was working I could juggle so many tasks and deadlines at once. When I’m at home, I seem to be in an all or nothing mode. I can’t seem to start a new project while another is in progress. So I think I need to write up a schedule for my days. You know, treadmill time at 9 and then study until lunch. Then after lunch tackle household projects until time to start dinner. I think then I’d like to breakdown the household projects even further and schedule certain  chores on certain days. That way things get completed and I’m not finding myself running errands every day. Time to pull out the planner and put it to good use.

Plenty of things are coming together in the next few weeks and months. I’m  headed back to Weight Watchers, taking the CPP  exam, joining the neighborhood  book club and planning the neighborhood  yard sale. The house is coming together nicely and Kurt is an amazing help all the way around. This new chapter in my life is a busy one and it’s  the best one yet!

And so we begin again….

I’m making this brief because I simply want to get this started.  Rather than start this up as a whole New Year’s resolution effort to do this…. I just want to start.  I have spent the majority of the morning finding and deleting traces of old blogs out there in the bowels of the internets. Most of them were from 10 years ago when I led such a different life. It’s especially funny to find two that overlap in that time frame and I still wonder why I did that. While I love to see the documentation of my life at that point, I still block those words from public view and keep my memories to myself.  Especially when I see that I complained about people who are still near and dear to me. I would hate for them to stumble upon my harsh words when I was unhappy in those moments.

I’m also beginning again because I am finally in such a happy place.  While there is always room for improvements… all is right with the heart and soul of my world.
