To Do List

It's been almost a month and a half since the "incident" aka the day I got laid off. I'm starting to realize that I'm not very organized (never have been) and I need to take advantage of all this free time and do something about it. I have a closet full of dirty laundry, a studio/computer room that is crammed full of boxes of stuff and the list goes on and on! While it would be great to get a cute little to do list like this one from boygirlparty I think I'll have to grin and bear it and do without. Here's what I've come up with so far...in no particular order.

1. do all my laundry

2. take what I don't wear to Plato's Closet for some extra cash (and donate the rest)

3. add a slug a day from the new 3rd edition to my etsy shop

4. go for a walk once in a while

5. go bike riding with Myke (finally)

6. get ChromaPop up and running with new items (!!!)

7. make dinner every night

8. get crackin on my gift for Make A Child Smile

9. send some snail mail (thanks for the inspriation Joanne)

10. clean this apartment, yikes!

11. take more TTV photos

12. update flickr

13. start interviewing artist for the blog

14. apply to design school

15. watch less TV

16. read a book

17. get the sewing machine out and make some curtains

18. organize my workshop corner

19. start inventory/bookkeeping for MarthaLand

20. do something about the lame header on this blog!

Whew! That's enough for now. We'll see how well this goes....I tend to enjoy the list making part much more than the list completeing! What would you do if you have more free time?

Jobless...

I wish I had good news today, but I lost my job. Being a manager is great unless things are going so well, and then all the blame comes down on you. Oh well, I was beginning to get an itch for something new anyway...just wish I had found it before I lost my current job! So I am officially unemployed, which has its benefits. For example I decided to take a nice little mini vacation and drove down to Punta Gorda for a visit with my parents. And at least I don't have to get up at 7:30 every morning, no work on the weekends and no boss! But of course, my bank account is quickly getting smaller and smaller with no income! I will be spending a lot of time making new slugs and trying out some other new ideas. Please check out my shop on a regular basis and please please send everyone you know my way on Etsy. At least I have that little income to rely on right now, but I don't know how long I will be without a job and every little bit helps!
