My TO DO list for the week....

Trip to Seattle is off till October *sigh*, but at least my girls will get to spend the week together in Dallas... and Rob is taking his mom to South Carolina for a conference...

So...

Here I am... and as usual, using ellipses WAY too much...

Garage ('specially after what Claire B. found in her yard yesterday) *bleck*
My upstairs room *ehh*
Going to see a movie, or two... all by myself (a first)
Spray paint a bunch of stuff
Make some jewelry
Go to dinner with a few people or get take out (no cookin')
Go to Barnes & Noble late and stay till it closes
Load up on virgin strawberry dacquiris
Maybe put together a few florals
Bandana quilts/tablecloths
Maybe try and watch some episodes of Twin Peaks again
Take a little trip to Bown Crossing
Finish faux Pottery Barn clocks

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage". I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now. People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying. Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many. Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People. Oh, the people. In so many ways huma...

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead. No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment. I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
