Ah, it is Monday again. Oh the joy of..oh wait, doing exactly what I did yesterday! Monday's really don't come at such a bother to me while the rest of the world groans about the weekend being over. I'm getting a set routine down and that is very abnormal for me. I feel like I'm becoming a housewife. As in married to my house. As in a slave to the thing that keeps the rain off of my head. I don't like this routine I have, no matter how laid back I am about it. it's still eerie for me to wake up every morning and the first thing I do is think about what I need to get done. Not to mention how stressful that is.
I'm actually debating whether or not I should just make a chore chart, but that feels like going a bit overboard. I just hate living with a bunch of people and I'm the only one who has the nerve to do stuff around the house. For anybody that actually knows me that I am the LAST person to want to do housework. I much would rather spend the time I have doing something much more creative. But alas. I am the "mom of the house" and will be the only one to cook dinner or clean up or do the laundry. Damn, make me feel like a petty woman.
For being young, I certainly feel like I should be middle aged. I definitely have the responsibilities of a grown woman of at least 40.
I realize this is becoming yet another rant. Perhaps I will stop blogging now and try again later with something much more interesting and upbeat...
Alright, coffee time.
~peace!

Free Time
I got in these HUGE post-it note paper. I'm already drawing crazy things on them.. but kinda haven't even finished one drawing project yet. I'm such a procrastinator. I started this really rad flower mandala type thing, half way through finishing it I started a detailed drawing of a dream catcher. Sketching on huge paper is difficult. The details are bigger, you have to really pay attention because you can see everything on the huge paper. Perfectionism does NOT come in handy now.
I've been trying to think of something to put up on the walls. These are sticky notes, with the sticky back and everything so they're great for putting on the wall (where I currently am renting from we're not allowed to hang things with nails up, and the paint is weird and wont hold those sticky wall hooks). This house is so bland without any type of wall decor. None of our furniture matches and a lot of it is hand-me-down's or old furniture that was already here. You can really tell it's everyone's first place. I'm trying to do a lot of diy projects to make it look decent here (I have about 20 projects going on right now) but doesn't help much that I'm the only one who does it all, plus cleanings, and cooking, and laundry. I'm the b*tch of the house!
I actually finished one project, a plywood desk that was all black, now it's gold and purple and looks soo much better. I just still have to put a clear coat on it to make sure it doesn't peel off since it's spray paint. My next project I'm trying to do is "autumn up" the place. I made a couple of felt leaf garlands but those really didn't do much. Next I tackle the fireplace mantel.
It's very fun, doing a lot of these things myself. I do them when I can, because it's fun, and I don't tell myself I "need" to do this or I "need" to finish something. That makes it seem like work! Doing everything because I want to, because I enjoy it, makes it all seem so much more laid back and easy rather than stressing about it.
Do it with a smile or it's just not worth doing!
^new phrase, kinda likin' it^
