Life Lately!


I know, I haven't blogged in a week.  Wasn't I just going on about how I was going to manage my time better?  Well, I guess I have been, but I've been doing other things.  Of course school started last week and this semester is going to be so much fun (note the sarcasm...).  I've also been doing a lot of things to get our house ready to put on the market.  I've been painting doors and furniture, doing a bit of redecorating, and packing some things up.  I've also started running (ok, so I can really only jog about 1/4 of a mile, but I have to start somewhere).  I signed up for my first 5K that's at the end of March, so I actually have a goal that I'm working towards.  Anyways, my blog and Etsy shop have been put on the back burner the last few weeks, but I'm hoping to start fresh next week.  We'll see if I can actually follow through with that...

I've had this Fiona Apple song stuck in my head for about a week now.  Tidal is up there in my top 5 favorite albums of all time, but her work since then has just not been quite the same.  This song reminds me of her original work and I love it!  Not to mention that I feel like I have a fight with my brain every night too.

  13. I must not have been here in a while because I didn't realize you were moving! Well, I totally understand all the stress you must be under! Moving is tough, but once it's over, it is the best feeling in the world. And a 5k? That is awesome! You go girl!
