Addiction?

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery, right? Well here is my admission......

I have a Pinterest problem.

 

There, I said it. Wow, I feel better now that I've gotten it off my chest. Seriously though, I'm scared to admit just how much time I waste spend pinning and re-pinning different images. I'm still just a bridesmaid in life but if you looked at my boards, you would think I'm getting married next week! You would also think I'm the kinda gal that can whip up crazy good things in the kitchen. I am here to tell you that while I can cook, and I do know my way around a kitchen, I will not attempted a 28395718346534975 layer cake with sparklers and mini circus adorning it. Sorry, I'm not that kinda gal. 

Maybe one day when someone else is paying my/our bills and I don't have a full-time job. Also I have a feeling I'm going to need a gourmet kitchen so I'm going to have to move first. 

Do you see all the problems that said cake has already caused?!?! Apparently, I few things to work on in the near future.

However, today Pinterest got something right. I stumbled across this...

I could not have said it better myself. I've been contemplating going to CO. I'm doing it. I needed that last push to pony-up the credit card and bit the bullet. Thank you Pinterest and might I add, well played. Lure me back in just as I was facing my problem head on.

Happy Friday!

Making This a Priority

Wow, I'm a bad blogger.  I always get too busy with life and fail to focus on areas that require me to make time. My calendar fills up in a blink of an eye and after a wonderful conversation with a co-worker yesterday, I'm just going to make it happen.

So thank you for being patient while I learn to work on my wish list. As the Avett Brothers say, "decide what to be and go be it."

Without further ado, here is my to do list!

• Take a cake decorating class
• Learn to knit
• Make more time to paint
• Find an adult ballet class and GO regularly
• Audit grad classes until I find the masters program for me
• Stop over extending myself
• Blog more
• Slow down and not be on-the-go
• Explore my city more
• Master tie-dying to make custom onesies for a baby shower
• Learn to quilt
• Visit out of state friends "just because." Colorado is at the top of the list, followed closely by New Mexico.
• Better balance my personal priorities and my friends
• Go skydiving

I don't really have a deadline for everything on the list (except the baby shower bullet). I'm glad that I've written everything down and its no longer a mental note.

I'll be back to keep you updated! Wish me luck :)
