I had to get that out there. That's sad.
Making this blog, I told myself it would be a great way for me to be writing on a normal basis, while getting to share the activities and projects in the Zuroeveste home.
Well.
After this many *failed* attempts... I'm determined. I've become recently inspired by Pinterest. If you're into crafts, hobbies, and the like... this is your new home. I'm addicted! It's terrible, too, because I find myself pinning a whole bunch of really cool projects and ideas, when I know they will probably just sit on my board idle.
THIS WON'T HAPPEN!
I'm utterly panicked at the thought that I will continue in this "ho-hum" approach to crafts. This "wanna-be" list of things. I'm going to do them! My husband always is supporting me, and I have a wonderful house now (that we're renting, don't get too excited ;). I mean, there's zero excuse to be lazy. (Other than the full-time job, desired social life, and the occasional do-nothing days.) I need to live life! Right, Rodney? Just like you keep telling me?
SO.
I'm going to start updating this again. Hopefully with pictures of some projects I'm going to start. I've dedicated this year's resolutions to two things:
1. Keep better in touch with family and friends. (Yes, Traci, Holly, Kathryn, Katie, Eric, Justin, etc. etc... it will happen.) I will respond to phone calls. I will text back. I will be a good person. ;)
2. A 52-week home organizing challenge.
This #2 option is a bit scarier. Especially since I've not been much for knowing how to take advantage of bargains and good deals (like my good friend Kathryn... geez, how do you buy 50 different items from the grocery store for 50 cents? Ridiculous. Teach me.) We don't have the money to spend on cool organizing tools, like shelving units and floating orbs that carry your mail to you, sort it, shred the necessary items, and kiss you goodbye.
BUT.
I will do it. I need to carry out my ideas - DO the things I keep thinking are "so adorable!" And, I'm not a "home organizing" type of person typically. I have the cleaning skills of a 2 year old. No, some two year olds can actually put things away. A 6 month old. This is why I'm going to document my changes! They won't be great, I promise you. But this way, I'm holding myself accountable. It's going to happen!
Do you believe me? I understand...
Rejuvinated! Super excited! Thank you Pinterest!
Aaaangela! We must still be soulmates because I haven't checked anyone's blog in pretty much forever! But today I felt like I should! And I'm so glad I did! I am excited about and totally agree with your resolutions!;) Next time I come to Boise, we ARE getting together. If we somehow don't (again!), our friendship will officially be over! Hahaha. Oh, and I would love to help you out with couponing when you're ready to start! I am planning on coming to Boise for a week or two in probably March; maybe we could get together then and I could teach you all my tricks? :) It's a lot easier to explain everything in person. But let me know what you think! Ok, this comment is turning into more of a e-mail, ha. Get in touch with me! Oooh, how's that for a challenge? ;) Love and miss you!
