Speaking of cacti, I've been meaning to paint pots and plant these properly for months now. I'm surprised they're still alive. Luckily they are such a resilient type of plant. I think there may be a little elf running around late at night keeping them watered.
I'm looking around the house now and thinking about all the projects and cleaning and organizing I want to do this weekend. It's time to get stuff done. More than anything, I just want everything to have a place. I got an antique dresser last weekend and a couple of vintage metal carts to help out. I know if I can just paint those carts and stuff them full of fabric and all that felt I ended up buying because I was afraid they would run out, everything will fall into place.
Do you ever feel that way? That all the organizing and cleaning depends on one crucial element? If I can't get that to work, then I'll probably just throw up my hands and watch a movie:)
Weekends are always a tug of war, though. I want to do the things I put off during the week, but then fun stuff comes along and I promise myself that I'll get to those more menial tasks during the week. It's amazing how we can get ourselves to believe just about anything. I guess time will tell if I'm really lying to myself tonight by how much I really get done this weekend. I need a week off to just get everything done. Ah, who am I kidding? I would just end up making bigger messes and swear once my fun week was over I would get down to business:)
Any fun plans for you this weekend?
I've been keeping a cactus alive since November, I'm so proud of myself! And my family used to have one of those pink cactus plants, I think they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute! An unexpected pop of color from those kinds of plants. Great job keeping it alive! I'm terrible with plants. Hope you have a great weekend!
DeleteI managed to kill an identical plant, don't ask em how! I like that analogy. That if you just focus on the one thing, everything seems to be okay. I'm going to Kansas City Fashion Week for the first time this week and hopefully watching a Jayhawk win tonight ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Thanks so much, Jessica:) Have a great time this weekend! Sounds like it's going to be a fun one!
Deleteah, I know exactly how you feel Kari! My blog has been suffering drastically since I got my new job, but things are slowly falling into place now, and a weekly routine is emerging from the chaos :)

Congrats on your new job! Things always seem to be so crazy when you have a job change. I'm glad things are starting to slow down:) Hope you are having a great weekend!
DeleteI know exactly what you mean Kari. I always have hugely unrealistic expectations of what I'm going to get done, and then I wonder what happened. I didn't declutter for ages, because moving one lot of stuff couldn't be done until another lot had been moved. And that couldn't be done until something else was sorted. And that couldn't be sorted until the first lot of stuff was gone. I froze for quite a long time. I do hope you're feeling a bit more like the pink cactus now, and not so much like the bits around the edge. Have a good weekend, and keep on having fun. The other stuff can wait. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, CJ! I like your thoughts about just having fun and putting the other stuff off for a bit more. Just what I was thinking today:) It was so nice out, and I wanted to enjoy the day. Maybe I'll get a lot done tomorrow:) I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and are feeling like the pink cactus:)
