I bought it ugly and brassy at a garage sale for only $1, then spent $3 each on a can of spray paint primer (I ran out on my last project) and silver pewter paint...$12 lampshade....$19 lamp!! However, I consider it to be less because I can reuse the paint, I was just out of both :o)

Some 365 to Take a Break from Studying...

Still working on that 5-Day Maximum Upload for the next few weeks!!

BTW, I scheduled TWO doctors appointments today for next week AND worked on my Halloween costume for about 20 minutes :o)...and of course I'm working toward those Straight A's in between study breaks. #waytogome.

Day 224: On our way back to OK. Thanks for the traffic, @$$holes.

10/04/2010

Day 225: Studying fiend. Midterms are awesome.

I must be a glutton for punishment. I keep talking about how busy I am all the time. The fact of the matter is that I love being this busy (I just can't stand the stress).

I was thinking today about all of the things that I want to do with my life...starting NOW. You all should know by now that I love learning new things and google-ing my way to expert status on variety of random subjects. I've gotten to the point now where I should be getting serious about my hobbies and goals and all of those things.

So, here are some goals for the next three months. Three months before the end of this year means I need to get busy!!! I really didn't set a New Year's Resolution this last year because I was such an emotional disaster and so unsure about where my life was going/what I would be doing. Right now, I am happy with where I'm at, despite a little uncertainty.

1. Knit my Halloween Costume.
2. Sew a dress for Christmas parties.
3. Make artwork to go above my sofa.
4. Help my team win #TheBiggestLoserOOSI with healthier eating, a workout regimine and much less drinking.
5. Get my Christmas shopping done prior to the week before Christmas.
6. Finish (Start) my entertainment cabinet.
7. Make Lobster Tails.
8. Work on a budget.
9. Save for a new car (January purchase, probably).
10. Meet quota at work for the next 3 months.
11. NoBloPoMo.
12. Catch up with some friends I've been neglecting since starting the new job.
13. Strive for a more stable love-life (this may be self-induced, and may not happen until after the 3 months, but alas...).
14. Get myself to all of the appropriate doctors (ob-gyn, physician, dentist, dermatologist) with my rockin' new health insurance.
15. Straight A's. I know. I'm crazy.

15 GOALS IN 13 WEEKS!!!

365 Yos!

I'm trying to make this easier on myself. I've been working REALLY hard on my 33 days blog so that the first drafts are already done before I even need to start posting :o)...only a few more weeks, folks!!! The other hard part of doing two projects at once (365 & 33 Days) is not giving away any details of the 33 Days project in the 365 Project. Lol I'm making my life much more complicated than it should be...

Plus, if I upload 5 or less images, I only have to wait for one upload from blogger.

#lovefreeblogs.

Day 217: Kirsten ate pork & liked it. Brad couldn't even wait to eat. I ate pork and looked like I hadn't slept ever.

Day 220: I know. My pillows are awesome!!! (I MADE THEM!!!) And, I really need some wall art above the sofa.....

365 for the END OF SUMMER!!!

I can't believe that summer is over. I can't believe it's already almost OCTOBER (which is the best month of the year, in case you didn't know). So many exciting things are starting up soon. OU/TX this weekend (Texas Still Sucks), more b-e-a-utiful fall weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving & OF COURSE Christmas. I love it!!!

So to end things right, here is the end of 365 "Summer." I know it's a little sparse, but my life is insane right now. INSANE. You get the idea. I've got to get these things in a little more timely manner!! 5 pictures is A LOT easier than 30 ish.

Without further ado...
