Long time no post!

[smeddley]

I've been dreadfully busy (and stressed) lately. And with so much going on, I just haven't been able to get my head on straight and make a post. And the longer I go without posting, the harder it is to post!

To sum up: work has been stressful, we're trying to refinance the house (did a bunch of frantic work before the appraisal, still haven't heard back about that), the dog has been acting weird and making me worry about her, and I still haven't sorted my office and craft room back from when we installed the laminate flooring in my office. Oh, and I think I'm getting another cold sore, when I just got over one. Joy. And I don't have my

...and that's as much of my draft as way saved after my phone again lost my internet connection and refused to post. Grrrrr. Some days you just have to admit the universe really is out to get you.

Anyway, what I was going to say was that I wanted to come up with a goal (yes, very Julie & Julia like) for posting. Preferably something that also encourages me to actually accomplish things around my house. The problem is that I'm not good at slow and steady. Doing a little of something every day is tough on me. Just look at my NaNo record - I tend to write in big spurts, and go days without writing anything.

So what could I possibly do to bring more structure (and maybe reduce the stress) in my life?

Sorry, you're having one of those days. I would have liked to come up with some rather useful suggestion but I am terribly bad at getting anything constructive done. I am *supposed* to be making PowerPoint presentations for my hubby's business... and for the last 8 hours I have done NOTHING but play on the Internet.

Look, though, I've used the icon you like just to cheer you up a bit. *points at icon*

Maybe have a specific day for blogging, and have, hmm, have a photo every week of progress?

I know the feeling! I'm actually terribly good at planning things, but I fall woefully short on execution. *sigh* Oh, well, maybe I'm just one of those people who's supposed to be free-form (aka: disorganized and unstructured)? ;)

Note to self: remember to steal that icon when I get home tonight (and onto a proper computer).

The photo thing is probably the best idea, unfortunately, I spent all yesterday trying to post a photo from my phone with no luck. It's so frustrating, I don't know what I was doing wrong! *pouts*
