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.

in my bathrobe,
at 7am yesterday.
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.

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

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 TOEKINI.  Any

Weekend Musings ~ Will Walk for Bread

Back in the mountains, I love it. I forgot how lovely the summer is here, and finally the weather is gorgeous. The flowers are out and everything is green. Wildflowers My musing this weekend are as simple as enjoying two of my favorite things:  Walking and  Bread It has been tough for me to let myself take the time to get a few walks in ~ yes I was too busy to get walks in and I know that is just an excuse but sometimes you just gotta take a break. From everything.  And any more than that, I just do not want to dwell on. Also, I am not feeling too wordy today, so will just let the pictures speak for me. The road to the RAD and the bakery nestled in the district with the bread (no beer for me)  A river crossing - it sure did look muddy today probably from the recent rains. Bread and soft pretzel - yumminess. River crossing heading home - lovely even if still muddy. At some point, we may be those paddle boarders in the river, if you look close enough they are there in that last pictu
