a massive dump...of the photo variety

I've finally finished 30 days of lists. It took me a little longer than 30 days though. I'm gonna be a blamer for a bout 30 seconds and say I'm behind in part to going out of town last weekend for work. Yeah, I did it. I really enjoyed this project.

inspiration, say no and happy places

My back is starting to feel a little better...kinda. Hurts less than on Tuesday, but it still hurts. I thought there would be a lot more relief by now. I'm not big on taking medicine, so when it doesn't really help, I'm disappointed and feel like it's a waste. Especially if I had to spend my hard earned money on it. Meh...anyway, here are the last three days of 30 days of lists :

day 7: i am inspired by

• the late night grinders like @TheAIDG
• friends & family
• other artists
• my environment
• myself

day 8: i need to say no to...

• that second serving
• working on days off
• the chocolate cake calling my name
• sleeping too long
• not working out

day 9: happy places

• my bed
• with friends
• travelings
• in the grass, in the sun
• home

tomorrow, words, collections and a note

I was gonna change the posting date on this, but decided it was just easier to say why this post is late. I ended up in the ER yesterday and found out I have a kidney infection. Yuck. My back had started to hurt a few days ago and then Monday morning I slipped and fell on some snow. But the icing on the cake was sneezing at work and then almost falling to the floor in pain. My coworkers really didn't know what to do. I left work early and headed straight to the ER. In and out in four hours. It wasn't too bad. But anywho, here are the last three days of lists.

day 4: things i'll put off until tomorrow

• laundry
• dishes
• making that doctors appointment
• cleaning off my craft desk
• working on a crochet project

day 5: words to live by

• be kind
• make sure you're wearing clean draws
• thoughts create reality
• karma will stab you with a rusty fork
• you are beautiful

day 6: things to collect

• paychecks
• hugs
• email addresses
• cardigans
• tattoos

challenges, goals and a perfect weekend

I've finally decided how often I want to blog my 30daysoflists pages. I think every three days is good. It'll give me ten posts total. I thought about doing it every day, but then I thought if I wanted to blog about other things it might be a bit much. Okay, so here we go:

day 1: challenges to accept

• 30 days of lists
• weight loss
• build a successful business
• be more supportive & loving
• embrace change

day 2: this month's goals

• drink more water
• clean, purge & pack
• take more pictures
• tweet less, read more
• work out twice a week

day 3: recipe for a perfect weekend

• him
• beautiful weather
• good food
• friends
• music

 

listy, list, list, list - it begins

30 days of lists started yesterday. I got a late start on my album and didn't finish the cover until the wee hours of this morning. We had beautiful day the last day of February and instead of doing anything productive I spent the entire day out and about the town hanging out with friends and having all kinds of fun. It was a glorious day. So here's is the cover for my album. Ain't she a beaut?
