Purpose

So, I'm back...again. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and very little, make that no blogging. I've decided I've got an awful lot of time on my hands lately. No husband, no boyfriend, nobody to look after or even consult with regarding my schedule. Jealous?

I know, I know. It all sounds very glamorous living free and wild with no one to answer to or clean up after. That is pretty nice. But it can get a tad bit lonely. You could even say I feel like maybe I'm lacking a little bit of purpose. All of this lolling about going wherever the wind blows has its benefits. A structured sense of what I'm doing and and who I'm impacting...not so much. So, you people, my readers, the same people who I talk to on the phone or via facebook are going to be serving a new purpose for me. You're going to be keeping me honest. I need some stuff to do. Here is a list of things I've been thinking about for months and need to actually pursue:

1. Recover old pillows in a really fun shabby chic theme
2. Make window treatments for my kitchen
3. I really want a wire tree and I need to make it. I'm not sure how but I think my girl Maggie can help. I just want a tree...made of wire. I can't really explain this.
4. Take an art class
5. Get involved with a nonprofit or volunteer opportunity
6. Play my guitar again
7. Purge my house. I've got way too much stuff. Its making me claustrophobic
8. Start a true yoga and Pilate's practice
9. Lose about a million pounds

This is all I've got so far. So, for now, this blog is dedicated to letting you know how I'm doing, if I'm doing any of it and if anything exciting happens as a result. ( I have a feeling this tree is going to be exciting. I just feel called to make it. It's like Noah and the Ark...only way less life saving.) So your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read this blog and to let me know if I'm falling off the wagon. I've got things to accomplish and I need your help. A little tough love may be in order. So here I am, asking for some.

Just as a side note, I was really upset with Carrie Ann Inaba last time I blogged a year and 4 months ago. I just wanted to say I've moved on. That's all for now. K, thanks.
