So life has been a little crazy lately and I’ve received a few emails about my lackluster posting. While I’ve been upset that I haven’t been posting everyday, I’ve realized that at this time in my life posting everyday is unrealistic. I would love to, and in the near future I hope to start posting more often, but right now I can only do so much. At this time it’s going to be several times per week.

So what exactly have I been up to?

Just to give you an idea, in the past 2 weeks I’ve been doing the following…

• Worked 60+ hour weeks and am typically calling it a night around 2am…Ugh! Terrible,  I know. My sleep schedule is totally screwed up right now.
• Spent 24 hours with a dog that expelled everything he’s ever eaten, or even considered eating. (it’s a toss up on which one of us is more exhausted/disgusted)

• Due to the above item,  I spent an incredible amount of time scrubbing a carpet that they are clearly going to replace when I move out of my apartment
• Bought both spackle and caulking…you know, to spackle and caulk things.
• Turned in my 30 day notice at my apartment (it was a great moment, and not just because the guy working in the leasing office is a total cutie. I’ve lived here for 4 years dude, where have you been hiding???).
• Finished script frenzy with a 105 page script!!!! (Holy Crap, I just wrote an entire script!!!!)

• Packed over 80% of my house for moving day

• Took down all curtains in my house and replaced with verticals (it feels so not homey here now)
• Redesigned and Re-launched the Eco Stella website
• Finished 2 week green monster challenge (Amazing!)

• Lost 5 lbs (Awesome!)
• Became a master napper (which inevitably threw off my sleep schedule even more)
• Realized that I write better between the hours of 9pm and 4am than any other part of the day.
• I also write better when I’m listening to instrumental music, Legend of the Seeker or Moonlight reruns in the background…weird
• Cascadian Farms rocks with organic versions of my favorite ‘bad’ kids food cereals. Seriously, organic Cinnamon Toast Crunch…yes please!

• Dropped off donations at goodwill
• Cleaned the toilet (I hate this chore, so it’s gets it’s own line)
• Purchased a few select decorations for the house that I do not yet own.
• Made plans to decorate several rooms in the house that I do not yet own (Below are just a few of my inspiration pictures)

• Scheduled moving day with professional movers
• Cursed out my dog when he ate my ‘Design A Bag’ sketches, now I have to do them over. I expect he would have eaten my homework in high school too.
• Made peace with my dog when he laid down next to me and fell asleep on my arm (he never does that)

• Took down all pictures throughout the apartment
• Realized that I have disconnected from my current apartment, it’s no longer a home, just a place where I’m staying.
• Did financial things to make sure I can still afford the new house that I do not yet own (don’t worry, it’s all good!)
• Started HAHD (Hundred Articles in Hundred days challenge)
• Found out that I did not get chosen for spot in the Nike Women’s Half Marathon this year (tear, tear). It’s okay, I’m sure something better will be happening then anyways.
• Created an initial plan to get out of my dead end job within the next year
• Started writing out plans on how I will make a living after I get out of said dead end job
• Started a plan to have 2 credit cards paid off by the end of the year, and possibly buy a car next year
• Brainstorming how to start my own business. I’ve realized that I really need to be my own boss and set my own hours, especially if I want to write between the hours of 9pm and 4am.
• Celebrated my 28th birthday
• Started the Journey to My First Home series over at CherryOrchid
• Made the most amazing Chocolate Chip & Vanilla Coconut Nirvana Cookies.

And since I can’t really top those cookies, I’ll end this list here. I’m beyond exhausted and am off to take a nap…again. I will post the cookie recipe soon.
