a little motivation

So if you know me, you know I tend to get overloaded with ideas and plans and plots. Ambition usually overwhelms me and then I end up getting stuck and doing nothing, or at least very little, of what I planned to.

In the fall I start feeling energetic and alive and the plots and plans and devising kicks in. The cool air makes me breathe and feel deeply and stokes creative fires.

So this year I want to make a plan that I can stick to, but still a challenge for myself. One thing created and one practical thing done per week. Just one of each. Could be as simple as cleaning out the flower pots, finally hanging that picture, cleaning out a cupboard, making a pair of earrings, cleaning out my random folder on the desktop… I’ve made a list

Just one practical and one creative per week.

I know it’s wednesday, but let’s start now eh? Every monday i’ll pick, every sunday i’ll report… help me stick to it?

This week’s picks…

Practical to do: planting my poor almost dead string of pearls plant and find a new place for the slowly dying plant in the bathroom

Creative to do: make a ribbon and pearl necklace

lesson learned

1: This recipe for green tomato soup with bacon and brioche croutons is really really tasty…

2: You should NEVER NEVER NEVER eat more than a teeny tiny small bowl of it, no matter how yummy it is and how hungry you are…

3: After 2 long days, saltine crackers and cherry jello have NEVER EVER tasted so good…

ug, back to the couch…

easier

easier- glen phillips

I was eighteen, so were you
I was that birkenstock geek rock dude
You were the back-flip, doe-eyed
Tree-climbing earth mama
Beautiful evergreen girl

I never thought that I could be
Getting my grey hairs with you beside me
And there’s something I’m blind to
But you still see

And it couldn’t be better, I know
And it shouldn’t be easier, oh
I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

I want to be the toy in your cereal box
I want to be carter at your peace talks
I want to get almost too familiar
But still notice the way that you walk

And if you said you were going away
I’d run on the tarmac
And I would lay down in front of the plane
Just to get you to stay

‘Cause it couldn’t be better, I know
And it shouldn’t be easier, oh
I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall

Got everything i’d ever wanted here
Everything and then this constant fear
Sure I’m gonna lose it all
Just waiting for the other boot to fall

And if you thought I could be replaced
I wouldn’t just stop with an ear
I would cut off my whole fucking face
Just to make my point clear

That it couldn’t be better, I know
It shouldn’t be easier, oh
I should just stop waiting for the other boot to fall
Waiting for the other boot to fall
