Blah blah blah

I just wasted a precious hour of my life looking at blogs that make me feel like crap.  Why do I do that? In this instance it was a handful of blogs focused on DIY/frugal/thrifty/cheap/easy/make-your-house-look-amazing-for-practically-nothing projects  It was impressive.  Vintage is so hot right now but how do people have time to do it?? I was looking at blog after blog of these ridiculously talented women who create the most amazing things.  craft projects/baking projects/furniture/decor and so many other things.  I wish I had a natural and creative eye for things like that.  I guess my brain just doesn't think that way.  I'd just have to copy other people's ideas but I don't feel confident even taking on a project like that without someone holding my hand.  It's a gift to look at an object or room and come up with a new way to present it.  I have a certain friend (yes, Jenn...I'm talking about you) who has a knack for this and I'm jealous.  I'll admit it.

I'm excited to work part-time this school year so I can have more time to do stuff at home.  It was hard working so many hours only to come home and conk out.  There were literally days where I would come home and fall asleep on the couch (for the night).  I didn't have time to do anything during the week to do anything.  You know the phrase "something's gotta give?" Well...it wasn't my job that was being neglected.  I tend to do that with all my jobs.  I get engrossed so easily in what I do that it's hard for me to pull myself away.  I may not be this way at home, but at my job I try very hard to be organized and on-the-ball.  It's easy for me to lose track of time organizing or planning...then I get home and I'm too exhausted to do the same thing at home.  ANYwho, my point being that I feel good about my decision to only be at work part time.  :)
