Attainable: ebay

Things are selling and it's a very, very good feeling. Did I mention that already? I even had someone email me inquiring if I had more of an item I had posted. Yay!

I've made about (gasp!) $150.00 so far.

Woo hoo!!!!!!

ebay adventure

Weee! I'm going on an adventure!

I have a massive amount of chinaware & crystal for which I have no need. It takes up room, brings up bad memories and is a literal form of emotional baggage. 

I'm selling it all on ebay.

My living room is packed with flat rate boxes stacked 5 or 6 high. My coffee table is covered in stacks of china, a total of 16 place settings given to me by friends and family who wanted me to be happy. The sight of it is making me miserable. This is very, very cathartic. Uuuuuuuuuugh.

As each box is sold and sent off to its new home, there is a feeling of relief. A weight off my shoulders. It gets better. I like it.

I'm going to sell it all.

Attainable: See a movie, make a curtain, stuff a pillow

I was so productive this weekend. I think there's something in the air... could pollen make you energetic and ambitious? Usually it just makes my eyes itch. 

Here's how this weekend panned out:

Saturday-

Went to very soggy Farmer's Market

Picked up groceries

cooked breakfast

watched movie

went to birthday party

saw Wolverine movie

Sunday-

crepes for breakfast!

mushroom risotto and broccoli rabe for dinner

watched another movie

started pillow-ran out of stuffing

vacuum 

Monday-

finished pillow

stitched a curtain for the kitchen window

Now I get to relax. Maybe I'll watch another movie. I'm totally addicted to movies.

Attainable: rid head of gray hairs

This one seems easy enough. I already have the dye. All I have to do is do it. So that's my plan for the night. Dye the roots! Dye! Dye!

Attainable: Grocery Shopping

Totally do-able: go grocery shopping.

My fridge has leftover pizza, some ketchup and nonesense like that in it. Nothing useful. "A fridge full of condiments and nothing to eat." It matches my single-serving friends. (That's a Fight Club reference. I have real, long-term friends. Honestly.)

 All week I've run out for lunch and I really hate doing it. The choices are pretty lame: Wawa, Subway, McDonalds, Manhattan Bagel, grocery store salad bar. Blah. Ok, maybe those choices aren't that bad, but after a few times, it gets old. Factor in that I'm a vegetarian and the choices are narrowed further.

Whaaaaa.... I just need to suck it up and go to the store already. Stupid agoraphobia. Stupid stupid.

But I can't stop making this hook rug. It's going to rock my socks when it's done. That's right,  ROCK MY SOCKS!

goals? who needs 'em?

New goal:

Update the blog once in a while... maybe more than once every 3 months!

Here are the haiku I wrote in January  (haikus? not sure how to pluralize it)- 

Highlight of my day-

To peer through the peephole and

know your hugs await.

Fits on a Post-It,

Succinctly conveys my thoughts-

The essence of terse.

Haiku-a-day week challenge

This week, I'll write a simple 5/7/5 format Haiku each day.

Why?

Because it's fun.

Monday's Haiku:

Sorry for flipping

you off on the turnpike, but

eighty is not slow.

I haven't written anything yet for today.
