life collection

1.) I had my first nap today in well over a week. This is nothing short of a miracle as my medication and depression usually leave me exhausted and napping in the afternoon.

2.) I found the above cookie jar on sale for $4.95! I almost died and it is so cute and big enough to hold lots of cookies and treats! I am going to move my small cookie jars from the kitchen to my desk now to store scissors and other hum-drums.

3.) I have been working on the newsletter and it should be mailed out in the next two days! If you haven't signed up yet please do (there is a place to sign up with your email on the sidebar)! I am having some formatting issues but most of the content is done. It may look a bit wonky but I am hyper-critical, so we'll see what you all think. ;) I am going to only do a newsletter every other week. That way I have time to get plenty of new content and keep it exciting.

4.) I have been on an organizing rampage. Seriously...it's crazy. I organized all our toiletries (we buy a lot of our stuff at Costco so always have extra on hand) they used to be all over the floor in our bedroom in little bins, but now they are all in a cabinet under our television in there. It looks so much better!

5.) I organized all our cleaners and such in the laundry room, it's still a scary looking dungeon but at least it's clean and I can find what I need. I didn't realize how many air fresheners I had (oi moi). 

6.) I organized my craft stuff and some of our random collections. Now most of my craft bins are hidden on a shelf instead of setting on the floor in random places in our living room.

7.) I re-arranged our art-wall. I had way too much stuff up there and got a little picture happy for a bit, so I took a ton of stuff down and reconfigured everything. It looks a lot fresher, and I have to really stop my addiction to buying little pieces of art. 

8.) Speaking of not buying art...I bought a little birthday card today to frame for our bedroom that has a hedgehog in a top hat. I mean really, how cute is that? Ok no more...for reals.

Other than that I've been a bit of a loner. Ronald is so busy with work this week (including client dinners in the evenings and having to work Saturday). Plus I have not had therapy for almost two weeks. But I'm kind of ok being alone even though it really sucks. I miss Ronald so much and am a bit lonely, but I just listen to the same few albums over and over, drink coffee and diet orange soda, play with the pups, wear pjs all day and try to stay busy. I am alone a lot so I'm sort of used to it, but at the same time it's terribly lonely to be alone. :)
