Unfinished business

Ok. So that kind of flopped. Million excuses. None particularly interesting. Trying this again.
Why?

Well over the last (october to July...november december january...counting on fingers...9 MONTHS?) 9 months I have changed jobs twice, lost 20 pounds and realised I am wasting my life.

Hello my name is Mid-life crisis.

I realised I spent a lot of time watching tv. It is mostly Food network, now (lots of nutritional value). But a few reality tv shows creep in. And my husbands lives HBO so I idlely sit down and watch. Nothing like adding value to your life with "Games of Thrones" or "Spartucus" (CGI penis= nugh said). When your conversations at parties revolve around the latest Alien mini series...it ain't good. Especially when no one else knows what you are talking about.

Well that changed when I hit the most weight I have ever weighed without sharing my body with another person. I realised my job was stressing me out completely, and actually became a stress eater. So I decided to change.

So I decided to waste my time on the internet instead. Brilliant!

I lost weight (more on that later), started cooking more, eating more natural and forcing my kids to do it too (super awesome if you like to hear whining over high fructose corn syrup). And started reading more blogs. (Actually, that's what I did at my old job when I was suppose to be working. Cough.)

I want to spend more of my time doing what I like. I wish I was super crafty. I am not. I have little sense of design or style. I know when I like something but couldn't create it myself. So I turn to blogs. love them. But they make me feel like Martha Stewart does: better haircut but completely inadequate.

All these blogs are so beautiful and full of artistic creation. Where are the blogs for the crafty failures like me? Oh wait. That's right. I started that...

So I am back to finish it. And all the projects I have started in the last 9 MONTHS. I could have made an entire other person but apparently chose to start a bunch of random projects instead.

Next: a review of my failures. This should be fun.
