As if I didn't have enough to keep track of...

...I go and decide to make my life public. Meaning, I have to keep up with sharing information on a somewhat regular basis. What was I thinking!? I can barely check my RSS feed, much less remember to feed the dogs... and now a blog?

The picture you are looking at is affectionately called "my room". It's where I paint and sew and keep all of my extraneous habits. "Mark's room" is much more organized and something he could really be proud of. This? Well, this is just embarrassing. Believe it or not, this is actually a collection of tiny organized piles. One day it will be visually pleasing and functionally productive. Two days would be a huge leap for me.

Let's make a line-up of all the things I'm working on or expect from myself, just for fun.

• Study for and pass my ACSM exam for national Personal Training certification
• Attend at least one Pilates Reformer class/week to prepare for certification of the same
• Attend at least one Yoga class/week, outside of the class I teach
• Sew one item a week, later to be upgraded to "design & sew" one item a week
• Attend any SmugMug, Women in Business, Amazing Women We Know, Girl Friday, or fitness related event
• Get at least 5 cardio workouts and 3 strength workouts per week
• Paint 2 hours/week, including finishing the painting that's been on my easel for almost 4 years now, and a commissioned portrait (my first) 4 mos in the making (in my defense, I was dealing with my sister's fabulous wedding, and he was warned ahead of time. I suppose I should finish it now that the wedding has passed.)
• Spend some time everyday with my camera, which may include learning it's functions or actually taking pictures
• Keep my photos updated in terms of editing, storage, and sharing, like on Flickr.
• Spend any free time with Mark, the boyfriend of 3 years come October
• Miraculously keep my clothes washed, dishes clean, house organized, and get to work on time (Mark actually does the majority of this, but still.)
• And oh yes, sleep.

I have that feeling I get every time I go on a trip...   I'm sure I forgot something.   Hopefully, I've put you in the same state of anxiety I'm normally in.  Now, that would be good writing. Which reminds me, I tell a much better story on "paper" than in person.

I'm working on that, too.
