Fabulous Friday!

I love Fridays.  They are so fabulous because they represent freedom from our weekday schedules and the freedom to sleep late and do whatever mooooves you! 

Tonight, I'm Jazzercising then loading up old wood from our deck project (LAST MAY! -we look like the neighborhood yard delinquents...), and then making patterns for table runners and a quilt!  Then, when my DH gets home we'll be having dinner together (YAY!).  Tomorrow I'm looking forward to a girls craft night!  Success!

I have narrowed down my "projects" list to a "small" handful of things.  I'll spare you the details, but it involves sewing, deck staining, bedroom/bathroom/closet painting, curtain making, and char recovering.  NOW -before you freak out, these are the projects for the the rest of April AND May.  My DH is done with school in two weeks and then -he becomes mine!!  Mwaaahahaha  -for manly household projects, of course!

What are your weekend plans?  Anything exciting!

And the Beat Goes On...

As with everything, the days progress, end and begin again, and become history.  Just like my bad day, bad mood, and bad ___________ (fill in for your choosing), I have moved forward and am having an okay week!  We're REALLY busy at work, so that's very helpful.  I'm also making myself very busy "at home" too.  I've joined Jazzercise (yayyyy!!!), been out for walks every day, and am planning LOTS of sewing and homemaking projects for the next month or so.

What have you guys been doing to give your weeks a lift?

When Bad Days Happen to Good People

Everyone has bad days.  I have my share, you have yours but I believe that there are degrees of the Bad Day.  You can have the type (No. 1) where you stub your toe and it makes you angry, or you can have the type (No. 2) where you keep losing things.  You can also have the type where NOTHING goes right, and you seem to hate everyone (including yourself).  It is days like No. 3 that are the worst.  You can replace things and items, your toe will heal, and life will go on, but when you have a Bad Day No. 3 -that's it.  It's over.  There is no "moving on" on a day when you wake up, hate everything and everyone, and cannot seem to make yourself move forward.

Sometimes I have days like this -No 3.  Where it's just messy and bad, and then I have days like No's 1 & 2 where I can lift my own spirits (usually by reading your blogs and blog-shopping for cute ideas) and get over myself.  Today is a No. 3 day.  Nothing is working, nothing is helping and it seems that I've given myself a stomach ache over it too.  I'm not naturally the anxious type (dramatic -definitely) but maybe this time it's because I feel like this is really important, and that I'm not looking forward to some of the things I have to do and say, determine and execute (I know that sounds bad, but it's not that bad...) complete.

Dear Bad Day No. 3,

You stink.  Please end soon.

Love,
Briana
