Need MORE time, people!

 

Stuff takes time.  Sometimes too much time, leaving no time for other stuff.  I have a lot of stuff.  Who doesn't have a lot of stuff?  I would like to know so I could share some of my stuff.  I am not sure where people find time to do some of the stuff they do.  I, personally, need/like/want sleep.  So, therefore, I choose sleep over doing some of the stuff.

 

So, on top of the normal stuff that is supposed to be getting done around here, my new-found addiction to Pinterest in piling up other stuff that wants to get done.  Yes, the stuff on Pinterest wants to get done at my house. :-)  It told me, the stuff did.  It's very excited about coming to my house.  It finds my house a little on the boring, un-finished side of the spectrum and therefore is just trying to help.  It said, "you haven't had window treatments on your front room for at least 4 years, for heaven's sake!"  It also asked, "Why haven't you done that cool decoration for your dining room that you've talked about for at least 4 years, for heaven's sake?  And why haven't you ditched the ugly, army green, non-matching bed skirt that doesn't stay on the bed correctly for at least the last 4 years, for heaven's sake?"

 

I really haven't been able to figure out where to start with some of the stuff from Pinterest.  It's quite a debockle, really.  So, after returning from Las Vegas this week with three new scarves, which is after my lovely niece Sunny Lynn gave me three or four more scarves, I am now the proud owner of . . . oh, maybe like 7 scarves.  I kind of didn't know how to store them, but luckily for me, I have an addiction to Pinterest and I found a great solution on there.  I didn't even have to go buy anything.  I pulled out a hanger from the closet.  I dug out some unopened, new shower curtain rings from the boys bathroom that have probably been in there for at least the last 4 years.  I used a glue gun - that stuff is super hot when it comes out, by the way, and voila!  I made a scarf holder-thing-a-ma-jig.  The glue didn't hold like I thought it would, which is likely why the Pinner I borrowed the idea from used tape.  I reinforced with some Gorilla tape; it's good.  Luckily, I am not worried about aesthetics on this masterpiece.

So, there you have it.  I completed a project.  Yea me!  Oh, but don't get too excited as I do have a couple of unfinished Christmas projects laying around.  I did finish one of those today too, but I have a couple more that I had planned on doing . . . maybe tomorrow. 

There's some other stuff that needs to get done as well - you know that stuff that gets you organized for a week of school/work/ball practices/etc.  Yep, that's the stuff.  I realize that most of the world has Monday off for holiday, but I do not.  So, I will be doing some organizing/cleaning/prepping stuff tomorrow.   There's also that pesky task of taking down the rest of the Christmas decorations - luckily we didn't put that much up and we took down the tree the day after Christmas or sometime real soon because it was dried out.  I just need to stuff the village houses back into their cozy boxes and get the stuff off the mantel into the attic.  Sounds easy, I know.  I need to get the stuff organized for taxes.  It's about that time of year.   I hope it's still good news this year.  I have that dreaded unpacking stuff to do as well - which means laundry . . . ugh.   Always laundry stuff to do - I have not yet embraced that in my life. 

Speaking of unpacking, we did some fun stuff in Las Vegas this week.  Grandpa Livingston stayed with the boys.  I am sure he returned home Friday and took a LOOOOONG nap.  He's a trooper.  The boys enjoyed having their grandpa here for the week.  Anyway, back to the fun stuff.  We went to two Cirque Du Soleil shows - Zarkana and Kà.  We got a "locals" deal on of them and the other got at the discount ticket place.  They were still a little on the spendy side as far as entertainment goes when you are from hickville, but I think it was worth it.  Google them - watch the trailers.  It's amazing.  They are so awesome, you can't really describe them.  I liked Zarkana better - the acrobatics were insane - but maybe we were just too tired the next night too.  At any rate - it was some cool stuff.  We did find out that Blue Man Group changed up their show and so we might have to hit that one next year. :-)

Well, I might have emptied enough stuff out of my head for the night.  Might . . .
