Working on myself

So, this past week, I've -in a way- started to work on myself. It partly started with a look back at my 101 in 1001 list. There are so many things I have yet to do (and I know things won't be done for awhile), but I was surprised at the things that I have done from my list.

For almost a whole week, I have worn my hair down. I've found something that actually works with my hair and I like how my hair looks right now. And it's really soft. Kevin's actually been playing with it, too. :) I have thought about cutting it again lately, but I doubt I will until maybe closer to summer.

I'm trying to take a multi vitamin everyday. I had to stop the one I was taking because it was making me feel sick. It's just the taking it every day that is hard. I'm working on it, though. Every morning, Lilith gets her's and I grab mine.

I've also started to floss everyday...again. It's so hard for me. I just don't like doing it. I don't know why.

Kevin's been wanting to go for walks every night after dinner. That lasted about a week thanks to the cold and rain and Kevin's classes on Wednesday night...and my sciatica bothering me. Maybe once it starts getting a bit warmer and not so rainy we'll try it again. So, last night, we pulled out our Wii Fit again. I forgot how much fun it can be. And I got a pretty nice workout. I did about 40 minutes. I think we're going to try to do it every night again. It's fun doing it together. And I'd like to use my Pilate's DVD, too. Just haven't.

I've been sewing a lot, too. And I'm very happy with how things are turning out. I have something for myself that's cut, just needs to be sewn together. I hope it turns out nice. I can use a long sleeved sweater that actually fits. I'm always looking for something like that to wear over my tops to keep me warm at home, mom's, shopping, etc. Everyone tells me I should put stuff on Etsy.com or have a booth at the Farmer's Market. And I've really thought about the Farmer's Market since we're going to be having one right by us starting in May. But, I just don't have the money or time to do everything for it. I do have an account set up on Etsy, just haven't posted anything on it. I don't know what's keeping me from doing it besides the fact that I don't have a lot to post on it. A lot of things I make are custom. I did post some of my business cards up on the bulletin board in the office. Who knows.

I'm also going to try and write in my blog every day. It may not always be this one, but at least I write something, right? I have another that's for family things (http://kevinanddawnkelley.blogspot.com) because I don't really want everyone in our family to see this one.

I've thought about and discussed going back to school. Kevin and mom both said not to...just worry about Lilith. Once she's in school, take a class or 2 of things I enjoy or want to take.

I've applied to another group on meetup.com, but haven't heard anything, yet. I'm not too sure about MOM'S Club. And our area is going to start some kind of playgroups. So, that will be nice to meet some new people.

I'm trying...it's not always easy for me, but I'm trying.

Just take your time. It seems like you are where you want to be.

THere are so many things on my list, too, but there's only so much you can accomplish in a day.

See you around.
Big hugs,
