That's What She Said Sunday

My bedroom looks like it could qualify for an episode of hoarders. At least it's clean laundry. I told my husband it was his fault for not helping me clean out my 'stuff' haha. The clock is ticking and I have lots of nesting and cleaning to do. 

Today is for working on bachelorette party invites, paintings, and maybe some other arty stuff...plus staying in my pj's. My only wish, is that Starbuck's delivered so I could have a pumpkin spice latte to motivate me!

What is your Sunday for?

PS I also wish Hobby Lobby was open today....I always want to go on Sunday's!

More for the New Year: Resolutions

My husband and I have been talking about our New Year Resolutions. I always have a long list that never gets accomplished and mostly forgotten. My husband only had a couple things he wanted to work on/do this year, and is super realistic haha. Me, I've got a million things on my mind let's see if I can narrow it down.... 

1. Declutter the house. I have always been a pack rat (just ask my mom) and I want to keep everything. My husband is more minimalist and I would like to be too. So together we plan to work on de-hoarding our house (because I swear my sister has been trying to sign me up for an episode of Hoarders). My husband wants to clean out the garage and make it his man cave. I just want to get organized and get rid of stuff I don't need and use (especially clothes).

2. Save Money. I'm sure everyone has this goal, but I am the worst. Money burns a hole in my pocket, and I have a shopping problem. Even as I type this I'm thinking of those Stylemint tees I ordered and when they'll be arriving on my doorstep....This year, my husband and I would like to take a real vacation/honeymoon (yeah it's been almost 2 years and still no honeymoon). I also have some big expenses coming up with my teaching certification program, and I have a year to be financially stable to not work while I student teach.

3. Find a new job. I have been working in retail for long time, but I am unhappy and stressed. This year I missed out on a lot of important family stuff because of my job. So I am working on finishing my post bach teaching certification program and in the mean time looking for a job outside of the mall. My quality of life has suffered because of this promotion, and truthfully the money isn't worth it. 

4. Work on creative endeavors. I finally opened my Etsy store, but I haven't had much time to make more products (due to insane job). I have sketchbooks of ideas I would like to work on, and I have gotten so much positive feedback for more. I have made many goals I would like to accomplish in this area of my life, and it's important to me. I keep thinking if it's so important why do I keep putting it on the back burner? Not this year!

5. Do Yoga. Every year I want to be healthier blah blah blah. I narrowed it down to just trying to do yoga 3 times a week, and then we'll go from there. I'm not a gym kinda gal, but I like my Yoga For Indie Rockers dvd. I keep hoping that yoga will help with my stress and posture >_<

What are your New Year's Resolutions?

Fill In The Blank Friday

I've been a bad blogger this week....

1.   When I was a kid I wanted to be      a covert anti-terrorist operative like la femme nikita or part of Kids Incorporated    when I grew up.

2.   As an adult, my dream job would be   an artist with a private studio where I teach private art lesson, and make and sell handmade wares      .

3.  W hen I was younger I wanted to be just like   Laura Ingalls Wilder    .

4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was    a fairy princess of some sort haha I can see the picture in my head, there's lots of gold and frills. I'm wearing a mask and I have a magic wand   .

5.  My favorite childhood toy was    either my Cabbage Patch Kids or my New Kids on the Block dolls .

6.  The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I     ...I left a movie I was watching with a group of friends and went into another theater b/c I thought my parents were in there and everyone was looking for me. I am still embarrassed about the spanking to this day   .

7.  I get daily inspiration from    bloggers, tumblr, and watching Hoarders (b/c that inspires me to clean haha)  .
