First Post of 2011

Here it is first post of 2011. The rule, update, everyday, with something well thought out, interesting, thought provoking, etc.. I should make a word count goal for each post too, something reasonable like 500. Much will depend on what I intend to write about though.

Today, rather boring. Dumping the office. It is best to start a new year fresh, clear, open to possibilities, meaning, out with the old! 2011 is the year of returning to writing. The only overload will be on words. And, maybe finalizing the ton of other projects on my to do list. Maybe, only if I can write about it.

The ten-gallon tub of fabric, ribbon, tassels, scraps, and sewing what-not. Gone. Mostly. I did discover a half finished skirt made entirely of men's ties. Had to keep that. Found a few old t-shirts that would make cute pillows or tote bags. A gal can never have too many tote bags.

I finally have an amazing shipping area for my 80sixed stores too. All organized, and clean, and we shall see how long that lasts, right. Gotta think positive! Clean. Everyday! Clean.

I really did not want my first entry to be completely dull, but really all I am doing is prepping for Monday. Being stuck in weekend mode is not so bad for the refocus, step back from the craziness, rule of 2011.

We had a few people over for a little New Year’s Day BBQ too. Shaun ordered some Omaha Steaks, but not just steaks, chicken, pork loin, burgers, hotdogs, fish, the whole spread. Not as impressive as all the hype. Not that any of the food was poor in quality or even bad tasting. It just was not astounding enough to continue ordering. Sprouts is just up the road. The quality of their deli is equivalent and does not need to be shipped direct. Omaha Steaks and the like, seems to me a bit like flying a private jet versus taking public transport. It is even more wasteful. I could be completely misinterpreting the whole direct foods shipment process. If anyone has an in on this, please, let me know. My curiosity is piqued. This does indeed call for more research. Bug me about this if anyone else is curious and would like me to post more information, and ask some crazy questions, about the food home delivery system.

Finally, on the note of curiosity, the invitations that Kimm hand made for the Wonderland Party look stunning. Returning to analogue for parties and small events is going to be much more amusing because of her amazing skills!

I close this post with the promise that tomorrow will be much better and more thought out. This new blog goal may be like getting my ’72 Sprint started on a cold morning. It takes a bit to warm up.

And now, a game of Ninja with Jess.
