Taking Stock

Sienna does not think taking photos of her is a productive use of my time.

What I spent yesterday doing - cutting all of the the cardstock backings for packaging my prints.

Bare bones booth setup practice for this weekend's craft show.

Bare bones booth setup practice for this weekend’s craft show.

Taking a page from Pip’s book and using this list to do a life snapshot.

Making : a few more prints for this weekend’s craft show.
Cooking : nothing at the moment. Will probably have leftovers for lunch (spaghetti).
Drinking : water.
Reading: The Furies by Mark Alpert.
Wanting: to do too many things at once.
Looking: at the computer screen, out the window, and occasionally at the pup at my feet.
Playing: I was playing Two Dots, but I beat all of the levels. I need a new iPhone game now.
Deciding: what to tackle next after I finish this post.
Wishing: that my shop would really take off so Ian can quit his job at Samsung with ridiculous hours and go into business with me. 😀
Enjoying: all of the recent sunshine.
Waiting: for the mailman.
Liking: that I’ve been able to keep things relatively organized lately, since our big house cleaning.
Wondering: whether I’ll actually sell enough to make my money back at the craft show.
Loving: that we had an awesome 5 year anniversary day on Saturday. Lots of good eats were had.
Pondering: whether to apply for the Blue Genie Art Bazaar.
Considering: when to schedule this month’s ladies coffee meetup.
Watching: season 3 of Scandal. I am sick of this Fitz-Olivia nonsense. I didn’t find their ‘love’ story believable from the start.
Hoping: that my web-related projects go smoothly today.
Marvelling: at how quickly 5 years with Ian has gone by.
Needing: to still bag and tag all of the prints for the show.
Smelling: my shampoo/conditioner scent, as my hair is still wet.
Wearing: a striped dress and belt.
Following: a more steady routine (as far as sleeping, eating, working) lately.
Noticing: that I need to trim my nails.
Knowing: that I have to run to the grocery store and library today.
Thinking: that I need to do laundry.
Admiring: people who do craft shows regularly. It’s a lot of work and investment!
Sorting: through prints to figure out what will go where in the booth display.
Buying: groceries later.
Getting: excited about the next vacation we’re planning – looks like a cruise to the Bahamas in May!
Bookmarking: things for this week’s Tuesday Treasure Trove.
Disliking: waiting for paychecks.
Opening: Dreamweaver and a different WordPress site.
Giggling: snarky posts on Twitter.
Feeling: pretty good today.
 

What’s your day look like so far?
