Yes, I Know What I Look Like. NO, I Don't Care.

At 7am this morning, the rain pouring down, this was my entire attitude. 

 I know I started out yesterday a bit crazy, but I eventually got it together and went to town to take care of a few things. I actually got a lot accomplished!

 Today, I decided it would be a leggings and big baggy sweatshirt kind of day. I had a lot to do, but didn't have to go anywhere. So I decided to slum it a bit. (I didn't even wash my hair!)

 Well, here it is, almost 2pm, and I haven't crossed anything off my list! YES, I even made a list!!

 So I decide to at least get a blog done. And as you can tell, I was not really motivated to write, but I just decided to get it done, and that would be one thing off the list. Not the best attitude going into it. 

 This is one of many days I have had like this lately. Sorry, but I have to ask...."What is wrong with me?" 

 I have had far too many days where nothing gets crossed off the list! I have several of those days where there is not even a list!!

 The sun did come out, and it is a beautiful day! But here I am wandering the internet, snacking on stuff, passing that laundry that has to be folded several times (I mean that is an EASY thing to cross off the list and I can't even find the motivation to do THAT!).

 It is well past time to get off my duff here and get something done. HOW? Just do it, I guess. Sometimes that is all we can do. Sometimes that is all we need to do. And then the rest comes naturally.

I managed to find motivation yesterday, a Monday, at 7am! I can sure accomplish something now, even if it is 2pm. 

 I am off to cross stuff off my list!!!

(still, getting properly dressed is not on the list.) 

 I know there are 'list people' out there, but what happens when you don't get to anything on your list? How do you find the motivation to start?

      some days I do, others I don't. I REALLY need to get back running though, because then I would at least feel better when I don't care what I look like....lol

    Oiy, been trying to comment on this all day. I'm not sure I have a good answer... if I'm not motivated and it's not critical - I don't do it. :P I get a lot more done when I'm motivated than when I force myself to do stuff and I'm not...

      It is hard to force yourself, that is for sure. But sometimes that is just what I need to get the ball rolling.

Toekini Anyone? It's GIVEAWAY time!

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEK...

Walking on Wednesday - Finding My Way Through a Coffee Bag

-

Opportunities arise when you least expect them. And sometimes they involve things you never thought you would  try. The key is to let go of your limits, to step outside the box. Sometimes it is finding your way through a coffee bag. An opportunity presented itself at the beginning of this month that Raige never thought of. A coffee grinder had some coffee bags they wanted to see turned in to other things. They didn't want to just sell the bags, they wanted to give them to someone to inspire them to create, and then they wanted to showcase those creations in their coffee shop.  Coffee bags. Burlap. This is a medium Raige had not explored before.  The question to Raige was: "So, are you a seamstress?"  Raige: "What??? Um, NO. I would certainly not call myself a seamstress. But I CAN sew a bit."   Thank goodness Laura was as willing to take that leap of faith as Raige was. She gave me a bag, and thus began the journey through a coffee bag. As with any ...

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money ...
