I’m back. I have more motivation than I’ve had all summer. Sorry for my stuck–germs. Ick. Kaylee, get a grip. I did not create this blog to whine – forget it!
My Wednesday started at 7am:
I cleaned our master bathroom (& I mean, REALLY cleaned it), cleaned our bedroom, washed ALL the windows in the house, (both inside and outside), vacuumed the main level, cleaned our drawers in the desk in the office, washed all the hardwood floors, cleaned BOTH guest bathrooms, cleaned ALL spare bedrooms upstairs, dusted living room, & drank, probably, three of my crystal light “fruit punch” caffeine mixes.
It’s been a busy day.
I’m hosting a baby shower for my cousin on Sunday – hence the cleaning madness. I HATE having a million things to do at once, so I’m hoping by really cleaning today, on Saturday/Sunday morning all I’ll have to do is wipe down and get the food ready.
My motivation inspiration – I decide to work on one of my projects on my life to-dos – THE OFFICE.
I was glancing over my to-dos before I’m 28, and I’m a bit behind. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to redecorate TWO rooms this summer with my limited resources – $$. Tony and I are on opposite spectrum when it comes to spending, so we’ve had to both give quite a bit to meet in the middle. A part of meeting in the middle, is only a couple big house expenses at a time; this would include furniture for the ‘thinking’ room, or what will eventually be a little library. The office, however, has most of the furniture, it just needs some tender, love, and care.
This morning I was reading through my daily emails, one of them being my daily zulily.com email, and I found my inspiration:
Just start.
So simple. I’m always one to plan things out carefully – hence the creation of this blog. Life cannot be planned! Life produces twists and turns. Life creates chaos. Life is an unbelievable thing.
I’m going to just start. I’ve always wanted to be a DIYer, but the fear of failing and messing up always stops me from attempting ANYTHING. I’m done with that wimpy attitude. The only way to get anywhere I want or anything I want is to just start.
So that’s exactly what I’m doing.
More to come.. wish me luck! I’m about to get my hands dirty. 🙂
