goal
Remember this? I am doing it again but not as strict. This time, no candy for the whole year. So far so good.

change
Fresh white paint. I thought we would be able to finish all the painting after Christmas, before I went back to work. That didn't happen. So we are slowly but surely painting all the rooms. A couple months ago we got the popcorn scraped off the ceilings, so now we get to prime & paint all the ceilings. And we are painting all the walls in EVERY room. But I like the painting... Eric and I have it down, he rolls the walls and I do the trim & detail work. We are hoping to have it all finished by the end of the week because Eric starts his LAST semester next Tuesday.





















love
Super Mario Brothers Wii. We got this game for Christmas and we are obsessed. Seriously, it's a problem. Sometimes when I lay down at night all I can see is Mario jumping and around on a bunch of blocks.

treat
This was on sale at the grocery store and I bought some and now I don't know if I can ever go back to regular ice cream. It is incredible (note - ice cream is not considered candy).












songs
You know, I haven't had time to listen to any new music lately. But two that have touched me recently are: One Step Closer by U2 and All These Things That I've Done by The Killers. Go read the lyrics, they're good.

project
Modern Siggy Swap - I'll be making 101 Siggy Blocks. This is the coolest thing ever, click on the first link and read about what I will be doing & click on the second link to see what I'll be making. This is my first swap and it is going to be awesome. There are people signed up from all over the world.

CHALLENGE
Going to bed early. I can not make myself go to bed. I stay up really late and always regret it the next day at work. I tell myself I wont do it again, but here I am sitting at the computer, way past my bedtime

my latest

fear... Speaking during enrichment night next week. I don't really enjoy doing things like this. It will be hard for me.

change in routine... Carpooling and bringing my lunch to work. It's great and it saves money!

goal... Finish all sewing projects before buying any more new fabric. This will be a hard one. I love fabric and I have lots of projects.

project... Something with this really cute fabric. It's more cute in person.











frustration... My motivation to do things. I can not motivate myself to do anything lately. I don't know what my problem is.

discovery... Shabby Apple, they have really cute dresses.

read... Finished Sarah's Quilt and I'm 100 pages into The Star Garden. These books are really good.

excitement... St George tomorrow! I am excited to hand bind some blankets while we drive and listen to books on CD. I am so excited to see our friends, lay out by the pool and get a pedicure.

My Latest

Frustration... Not being able to find anything because everything is stored away under the bed, at the top of the closet, stuffed in some random space we found behind the dryer or back in Utah.

Goal... Getting pregnant

Project... This super cute quilt, all I have to do is the binding. I wasn't so sure about it at first, but I love it now, I think it is great!











Discovery... Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. Never had these before until last Sunday in Nursery.

Read...Wicked. I just finished it and I have mixed feelings about it. It was good in some ways and then horrible in other ways.
