saturday

sometimes saturdays are busy. Sometimes they are just saturdays. today is just saturday.

i have tons of crap i SHOULD be doing - but do'nt really feel like doing any of that. I am in a weird mood. I just dont want to DO anything. I want it to all be done for me! I do'nt even really feel like scrapping - i sort of feel like shopping, but not even sure for what! blah blah blah...

on a more positive note - i got this AWESOME book from the scrap store the other day. It is called freestyle - hopefully it will show up in my books list to the left over there - it is by the Autumn Leaves chicks. MAN those guys know how to put out a good book! Anyways - i was SO inspired by this book - i scrapped two paper layouts last nite that i LOVED - i loved the end result, i loved the process, I loved the fun I had thinking them up- and it was all due to this book. I can't put it into words other than that looking through this book, the layouts just made sense to me. they are messy and chaotic and scribbled on and they just clicked with and for me. I think i have found my style, and this book is it.

now to just be able to translate that same feeling into digital somehow, and i will be one happy clam. I got to paper scrap with a good friend lst nite and it was just a great nite - just what i needed after sitting in sucktastic traffic for four hours aftr picking up my kids from my mom.  It is gorgeous weather here today. gorgeous. which brings me back to my first point - that it should not be a wasted day - yet i find i have no motivation. why is that?

I am burning a new tart right now - sweet strawberry. it smelled so good through the plastic, i just know it is going to make me want to run up to 7-11 and get a slurpee though - that is how it smells! I got some awesome new tarts at Linens N things last nite cause my sissy is quitting her job there, so we wanted to go on a large spree stocking up with the great discount one last time. I must have gotten seriously like 18 tarts. Caribbean Fruit, honeydew/cucumber, macintosh apples, green apples, summer rain - they all sort of have the same fruity light scent....someday i will break out of this rut i am sure. For now, my house smells like a jamba juice and that is fine by me.

I need to go get some ear candles. I used my last two last week but i STILL feel off balance. going up my stairs feels like taking off in a 757. I did the advanced Pilates and had softball team practice the other nite (on the same day) and i am STILL so sore.... I am definitely definitely definitely falling apart. Top ten signs that the 30th birthday is looming near. But that is a topic i would rather put off for a few more months. Gag me.

Ok i am ready for some exciting news now! Anything! a paycheck, a surprise in my inbox, an unexpected invitation to some random design team for a short term - anything will do.

blah.

ok i am off to try to find something more productive to do with my time.

I hope you have a great Saturday whatever you decide to do! I'm sorta in the same mode-I want to do something but have no motivation to figure it out! I need someone to come get me and take me somewhere! LOL
