Starting the week of bad

Don't you hate it when you wake up way before your alarm goes off? This morning I woke up about an hour before my alarm and could not get back to sleep. I guess that has to do with me and my guy not getting along; but I was surprised to find his spot on the bed empty. Also day I have some medical tests to hopefully figure out what's going on with me. I have been sick for the past month and no one can figure it out. Granted the one good thing about being sick is I have lost enough weight to fit back into some of my favorite jeans! That was a nice feeling; it felt really good to fit into a pair of super cute jeans I bought 3 years ago! But it's still scary to not know what's wrong. And to top it off, I have someone coming out tomorrow to appraise my house for a re-fi; I am hoping for a good value so the bank will approve it!

I think I have too much stress in my life! I have too much going on in my life that I can't control; which in the past means that I make a change to something I can control like cutting my hair but it's already short enough. Mmmm, I will need to think of something else. Have any suggestions?

Wednesday Already *Updated with pics*

I have not really been on top of things lately; I haven't posted anything in a week and even today I don't feel very creative. But I have to snap out of it; I have been feeling blah for way to long so starting right .... NOW I'm going to have a better attitude and start doing the things I like to do again.

Over the weekend I learned how to use my sewing machine! Who would have thought it was actually that simple. I was lucky and I was the only person to show up to the free class so I had one-on-one with the sewing expert. I think I will be able to at least do the basics. Look out everyone, home made lounge pants are on the way! LOL

I also need to start back up with my t-shirt designing stuff; bedazzeling and iron-on, stenciling and scrapbooking. Wow, I have a lot of hobbies! I need to stop watching so much TV or move my stuff so I can watch and work at the same time. Mmmm... maybe I will move my desk around or something. Oh yeah, and I'm now addicted to FaceBook! If you're on there, come be my friend. :)

I will have to be honest and say that I'm not keeping up on my 2009 goals; some I'm doing Ok on and well, some I'm just not there yet. I have yet to start on decluttering any of my rooms or work on decorating anything yet. I'm hoping to paint this weekend! If it looks OK, maybe I will try to post a picture. But the one thing I'm GREAT at is shopping smart; last night at Nordys Rack I was able to buy a sweater vest-type of thing for only $4.34 including tax! Ok, so I bought 2 of them plus another jacket that will be perfect for the spring time (if it ever gets here). The jacket was originally $138 at the regular Nordys store, rack price $54 but it was marked down 50% plus 20% employee discount ... final cost $21. Seriously over $100 savings than what someone bought it at the main store!
