Bonus day!?!

A friend asked what I was doing for my bonus day in July, saying that the 31st day is a bonus day.

Well . . .
I am recovering from yardsaling and thrifting all day county wide yesterday.

I am also trying to rest and take a breath before tomorrow which will only be filled with sorting out all my fun weekend activities.

I am also trying to balance between sorting the past and planning the future.

That being said, I am going to soak in a nice hot bath. Maybe I will make it a cold bath.

Picnic

I hate losing a post when it is almost complete. It's not so bad when you just start. I also had pictures all placed. Moving on, moving on.

My basket collection iswhat inspired my name on the Etsy store. The above picture is the original to my cropped profile picture on my store. http://www.esty.com/people/sharonspicnicbasket?ref=si_pr

The picture above is my newest addition to my collection. Number 17 joined the family yesterday.

Hello Number Seventeen

ARG!!! One click and I lost my whole post. Pics and all!!!!!

Etsy

I am trying to stay encouraged with my etsy store. With the economy the way it is, it appears that people generally look, but try not to buy things that they do not absolutely need. Old suitcases, antique toys, and vintage spools are not on the list of essentials.

Yesterday as I wondered through town, I came upon an excellent idea. So, if I get the time, I shall make a new listing. I hope they sell like hotcakes.

I find myself frustrated with facebook as well. It was for my friends, but has slowly become a business connection for my photography. I started a new page but find it difficult to separate the old page. I probably just need to figure out how to make a page just for the photography and kill off the old pages altogether and move to this sight to stay connected with my friends. But then these pages would become clogged with trying to get back to comments on old posts.

Anyway, our plans for Huntsville were cancelled this weekend. Steve seems to be a fish out of water not knowing what to do. There are so many projects to work on around here that it seems to go anywhere is a silly idea.

second part Distracted

Well, I went outside. I walked around for five minutes. I went back into the house. The humidity is horrible. I would rather do chores that fight that humidity.

Distracted

I decided to get dressed and go outside with my camera. I went around the corner and there is my pile of dishes reminding me that I should do my chores before I go play. I ignore the dishes and go upstairs to get dressed. My bed needs made, the clean clothes need put away, and the dirty clothes need to be washed. IGNORE THE CHORES~GO PLAY! How often do you get fog like this? Well there is more fog on the inside of the house than on the outside, if ya know what I mean.

Tuesday that feels like Monday

Today, I started to make a list of the three things I need to accomplish today. Kitchen, Office, and Photo organize project. Then I added livingroom, budget, Beth Moore dvd, and color my hair. Now that I have my list, I really just want to play and edit pictures from a lighting test shoot yesterday.

I have wanted to take pictures at this bridge for a long time. We probably spent an hour just shooting here. I love it even more now.

While I was waiting on the two pictures to load, I looked out the window. The southern humidity is moving in. There is an awesome fog outside which means I need to get out of my pajamas and go play outside with my camera. It's not every day you get a fog like this. Maybe it is more about being up this early. See how easily I am distracted.

Friday Morning Fun

This morning, I woke up with only five hours of sleep. Yesterday was an awesome accomplishment. I started around 8 a.m. and cleaned until after midnight. My body was screaming, but my house is great. There were lots of things that needed organized. With starting an Etsy site, there was an extra layer of organizing to be done. Three levels of listing; the items that are listed, the items that are photographed and need listed, and items needing photographed. So a great deal was accomplished. I am waiting on two loads of laundry to finish before heading off to Oxford. Feeling accomplished, I may have energy for a yard sale tomorrow. We shall see!
