Mamma Needed That!

Good evening!

I had a pretty rough day today, and it just seemed to get worse when I got home – HOWEVER!!! I just finished watching one of Craig Ferguson’s comedy shows, and I

LAUGHED MY HEINIE OFF!!!

I REALLY NEEDED THAT!!

Laughter really is the best medicine, isn’t it??

Well, tonight is Chunky Dunker’s night, and I have to admit that this week I have been doing pretty well, foodwise, and have lost about 7 1/2 pounds total!! YEAH!! That is pretty impressive when I think that I have been steadily going up every week instead of going down, and NOW my body decides to cooperate! That is alright, better late then never!!!

My sister Trina is coming up from Roseburg tomorrow to stay with us for the weekend! That will be a lot of fun! I am taking Friday off of work so that we can go spend the day together over at the coast! I CAN’T WAIT!!! I just know we are going to have a lot of fun, and don’t worry I will make sure to take lots of pictures to share!!! 😉 I am going to miss her whole first evening in town, because I am working and have my dance class tomorrow night, but I know it will just give Trina and Jason time to spend some quality time together!!!

Have I told you that my sweetie has been sick?? He has been coughing like a fiend and is really congested in the chest – it almost sounds like bronchitis!! Not fun!! I am happy to report that he is feeling better today, he practically slept the past two days away!! So, to see him up and moving around, albeit slowly, is still encouraging!! He is DETERMINED to be better by the time Trina gets up here tomorrow!! One way or the other, the weekend is going to be a blast!!!

Alrighty, I am going to wrap this bad boy up this evening!! I am meeting some of my fellow Chunky Dunkers in the comments section of this post this evening!! So, I had better get to it!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

Art Studio Makeover, Getting Close!

Good evening!

I am very happy to share with you some pics I took of my art studio/office! As you may know, I have been cray-busily cleaning, organizing, purging, and decorating this room!! I still have some work to do, but it is sooo close that I can feel it!! I am going to make fabric table skirts to hide all of the under table storage, and I am contemplating also curtaining the large bookcase in the corner, to soften the room a little more and to just hide some more of the storage!! Any thoughts?? Let me know in the comments section – I would love to here what you think!!

Anyway, I will stop teasing and show you some pics of where I am at today! (Click on any picture to show larger) 😉

See, there is still a HUGE amount of stuff in this room, but it is organized like NOBODY’S business!!! 😉 This room is going to do some SERIOUS multitasking, collage, painting, jewelry making, office, writing, library, and guest room!!! WHEW!!! No wonder it has taken me soooo long to get it this clean!!! 😉

I just hope that beautiful art studio equates to beautiful art work being created!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

Note to Chunky Dunkers: I can’t wait to see all of you tomorrow evening!! 😉

Where Did the Day Go?

Good evening!

My sweetie just came in and asked me if I knew what time it was, and when he told me it was past 10 my bottom jaw almost hit the ground! IT JUST COULDN’T BE!?!?!?

But, apparently it is!!

I got home late this evening because I had to take a huge bag of stuff back to The Craft Warehouse this evening – apparently, I had momentarily lost my mind this weekend, and gave myself a insane crafting supply shopping spree!! 😉

Anyway, that took me almost 2 HOURS, all by itself!! Then I grabbed dinner, got home, watched a quick show with my sickie hubby, and then went straight to the art studio to continue progress on getting the room clean!! It is soooo close!! I think I will have about one more trip to the thrift store, and a couple of more trips out to the recycle bin, and I will be officially DONE!!! I CAN’T WAIT!!! 😉

I know I had told you that I would get a couple of pics posted tonight, but I let time get away from me, and pics of any kind are just not going to get done this evening!! I am sorry!!

I will have them posted tomorrow evening!! FOR SURE! HANDS DOWN! I will make sure to post them AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM WORK!!!

Anyway, I am soooo excited about the next chapter of my life – WHATEVER THAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE!!! I am going to take my tired self to bed so that I can dream about the rest of my week!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

A Very Happy Friday!

Good evening!

I thought I would just take some time to write this evening! It has been a while since I have just written.

Things have been going pretty well for me. I feel like my life is moving towards a much more creative future! I am happier, healthier, stronger, more confident, and lately I have been feeling kinda sexy – I think it is all the belly dancing that is going on!

I have been day dreaming about my farm again! Decorating, baking, entertaining, creating, gardening, and hosting creative weekends for women. I was looking at pictured of gypsy caravans, and I thought how lovely would it be to have 4 or 5 caravans on the back of our property, parked in a circle, around a campfire pit. That would be a FABULOUS place to have get togethers, and sleepovers with friends and family – can you just picture it!?!?! I have always been a sucker for intimate, cubby-like spaces! Forts, tents, head hidden under the blankets while sneaking in a good read!! I just thought you might like to know.

I had lunch with the girls today, and they were all talking about how beautiful their gardens were, and how prolific all of thier plants were doing, and how everything was in full bloom!! I can’t wait!! I dream about being able to take long walks hand-in-hand with my sweetie, enjoying the sunset, or an early morning sunrise.

I want to have a reading tree and a climbing tree. For those of you that may not know, a reading tree is a tree large enough for a grown-up to climb and lounge amongst the branches comfortably so that one can read a good book, or just sit and watch the world of nature pass around them. Doesn’t that just sound divine?? I am so ready to find that tree!!

I am also thinking a lot about the idea of hosting girly glam creative weekends, where women can come from all over the Pacific Northwest and have a fun weekend, creating beautiful arty projects, taking lovely nature walks, making new friends, and having a chance to just take a break from the demands of daily life. Doesn’t that sound yummy??? We will have deliciously prepared meals and snacks, and turn down service with a chocolate on your pillow every night! Oh MAN!! Sign me up – I am SOOOO there!!!

Anyway, I am going to keep dreaming for the night!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
