Listaholic
I’m a bit of an obsessive compulsive list maker. I make lists for EVERYTHING! Grocery lists, To-Do lists, packing lists, lists for things I have and lists for things I don’t have. I have them stuck to my fridge, in my pockets and my purse, I have lists on sticky notes stuck all over my workspace. It’s a little bit crazy.
But writing things down is generally how I keep track of things in my unfocused scramble-brain and list making is one of the few ways I stay organized. As my only resolution this year is to do more things that I love and one of the things I love most is doing things with my hands, I decided to construct a list of projects I’ve been meaning to do for a while and post it here.
I’ll add to it as I think of more projects I’d like to do, cross them off as I complete them and link to posts sharing whatever project I’ve completed. I’m hoping this list leads to more finished products, that more finished projects leads to more blogging, more blogging leads to being able to cross something off a completely different list, which all ends up in double fulfillment for me!
Huzzah!
2012
Happy New Year!
I like to give the New Year a week to settle in before I go getting excited or making any solid resolutions. That way, I can feel things out and get a general idea on how things are probably going to go. Also, I am a notorious procrastinator.
There’s been a lot of hype about 2012 and the world coming to an end. That being said, if this is really our last year to live as fleshy, squishy humans, we should probably all be making it as awesome as possible. I am therefore dubbing 2012 as the year to ‘Don’t ask questions, just make shit happen.’
We’re a week into 2012 but I’m already 2 weeks into quitting smoking, have Shambhala tickets despite them being sold out online and not knowing anyone in BC, and am doing 18 hours of hoop training with Baxter in March.
If I want to eat chocolate everyday, which I usually do, then I’m just going to go get myself some of the extra fancy organic stuff and enjoy the hell of it. I’m eating some right now and it’s not even noon.
See? I’m already making shit happen.
Another Trip Around the Sun
Today marks the successful completion of my 28th journey around the sun since I burst into existence.
I plan to eat a lot of cake.
I also plan on drastically changing my current life plan, if you will, by leaving my job and seeing how I fare as a self employed bum. If the sky’s the limit then I’m gonna aim for outer space.
Let’s hope I don’t fall flat on my face!
What are my immediate plans? This blog for one. It’s been pretty neglected over the years. Kind of a project waiting to happen, but work or life has always gotten in the way. Now I will have my new unemployment to document and all the things I’ll be able to do with the free time I’m going to have. Secondly, I am going to work on moving my glass studio out of my parents garage and to someplace in the city where I can utilize it more than a handful of times a year. Thirdly I am going to see if music production is something I really want to pursue other than just a fantasy in my head.
I wouldn’t be able to do this if I didn’t have an amazing person and people in my life supporting me. So thank you lover and thank you friends, thank you family and thank you Universe for steering me into the position I need to be in today!
I’m ready, set, go for my next lap around the sun.
Oh Canada!
Wow! What a game last night! I made the mistake of saying out loud ‘It would be awesome if the US didn’t score anything at all!’ Which was followed by Bee looking at me like I just killed his puppy and telling me what bad luck it was to say such things. Followed again by the US scoring. It got really scary when they managed to tie up in the last couple of seconds, made for one exciting game but lesson learned about hockey superstition!
I have to say I’ve never felt more proud to be Canadian! We rocked it! It’s a great feeling to look out my window and see the CN Tower all lit up in gold and to know that we not only finally scored gold on home turf, but we scored the most gold ever! It made me want to go parade in the streets with everyone else!

Sidenote: I think it’s pretty safe to say that we had the cutest Olympic mascots of all time:
Quatchi kills me!
Early Bird
This is probably due to the massive amount of sleep I accumulated this week but I was up early this morning. Really early. Sunrise early. So early that I’ve not only been awake for a couple hours now but I also dug out my sewing machine and made this cute cover for my heating pad. I had only been meaning to make one since forever. The old one was sad and gray and made out of this scratchy material that wanted to do nothing except pill and warn you not to use it on helpless persons.
I folded a rectangle of fabric in half, stitched up the two sides, hemmed the top and added two rectangles of Velcro to keep it closed but still leave room for the cord to hang out.
Cherries and apples! Cute huh?
