I should start by saying I feel naked - your lucky I didn't post that. The Nikon is in need of a little TLC / tune up and won't be home till Monday. Phone photos for me - this is the part where I complain that I don't have an iPhone and your thankful because all you would be getting is histamatics.

If you have visited my blog or are a facebook friend you know that this year I have been on a crazy house cleaning - really purging - kick. I read something somewhere about how physical clutter can cause mental clutter, which we all know I don't need any more of. All items in our house have been evaluated and either I love it or I don't. Those that I don't found new homes. My den is a happy place, where I am surrounded by the tools that help me work out my creative frustrations and brilliant ideas, and well - things I love. These are a few of the things in the den that survived the cut.


If you really new me you would know that I have tried almost every art and craft known to woman and scrapbooking is the only one that I stuck with; that part of the reason I fell in love with our house is that there is an extra closet where I can store all of my craft supplies that don't live in the den - it is called the magic closet. I don't why - it just is.

If you really really knew me you would know that I have made great friends through my scrapbooking, that I actually schedule time with myself to scrapbook, that I have a weakness for all things alphabet (when scrapbooking), and love the full story a scrapbook versus a photo album tells.

If you really really really knew me you would know sewing and crafting has been something special that I have shared with my grandmothers; that I am not that great at most of the things that I love to do most (gardening, singing, photography, and scrapbooking),that I don't care because they bring me joy just doing them.

Last week, I worked pretty much 16 hours a day.

Some of you might already know, that I'm working for 3 companies now: Monday and Friday I work for Company A at the office, Tuesday I work for Company B at the office, Wednesday and Thursday I work from home for Company B. I work all week flexible hours from home for Company C, and Monday and Friday after Company A I go to Company C to pick up/drop off paperwork.

Crazy schedules.

I love working from home. But there is one big problem: you don't stop working because your home is your office. You LIVE in your office. One night Song asked me, when are you coming over (to bed)? I looked at the time, holy shit, it's already 12:30am? No wonder I'm so sleepy. I dropped the files and fell on the bed and fell asleep right away. I worked nonstop that day.

Telework 101: Know when to start working and when to STOP

It's been a rainy weekend. Didn't want to go anywhere, just want to relax. So I pull out this Sylvanian house to put everything back. Last year we had our roof fixed. The banging shook the whole house , including them. When I got home everything just fell all over the place. But I haven't had time to fix them til now.

Next week I will get another new laptop from Company C. I've cleaned my craft table for the laptop (reluctantly). Song said, you haven't sewn or painted for a while, might as well use it as a work desk.

He's right. Sadness.

I always look for balance in life. Right now I lost my balance.
