Thursday Thirteen


(Why can't life be calm and serene like theirs?? One day I'm going to paint these fellows)

Thirteen things I'm doing almost everyday, Sometimes it seems all at once. Is it no wonder I've lost track of my physical, mental, and spiritual balance?

1. I'm looking for a job. This should be my first priority, but after 8 months it gets harder and harder to stay positive about.

2. I'm a 12 step sponsor for co-dependents.

3. I'm taking an on-line class for Fireworks MX 2004. The teacher is rude and we are disputing.

4. I have a painting due Friday night and I forgot all about it. Now I'll be spending most of the day drawing it, and tomorrow painting it. It's okay, because I do work well on this when under a deadline. Only I have had a month... Where did the time go?

5. I'm really into my blog! and reading others.

6. My jewelry business. With the Salon wanting hair accessories that they didn't try to sell, to the event prep, then to cleaning up the desk so I can paint. I have a stack of new items that need scanning and placement on my site need2beadjewelry

7. Lets not forget house cleaning, because if I do no one else is going to do it for me.

8. Gardening. Might I say that my yard looks very nice this year??

9. Parenting three teenagers. One who has no goals, one who has a sassy mouth, and one who is testing me with lies! This alone is full time work.

10. Dieting! Yeah well I attempt it everyday, isn't that worth mentioning?

11. Exercising. When it's not raining I've been going for a bike ride or a walk everyday. My husband and I can walk about 2 1/2 miles now. That's pretty good for us fatties.

12. Trying to keep some type of communication open with my family, and friends.

13. TV, rest , sleep, showing, etc are last on my list these day!

How will you be able to fit a job in, with all the other stuff you do?!?

i use macromedia fireworks all the time, and totally love the application. but since adobe bought macromedia recently, i have a feeling they will be getting rid of fireworks so it won't hurt any photoshop sales.

Hope your weekend is a good one. Enjoyed reading your list.

TNChick said...

One of my current college teachers get a big thumbs down. I dislike having "bad" teachers.

Susan said...

urghh I hate those teachers, i know what u mean to be positive but it's hard sometimes but well there's always hope even though it's getting thinner by day.

Happy Thursday!

And i want to be serene like the young men in the photo.

Rachel said...

My lands, but you are busy, busy, busy indeed. I hope a nice job comes along soon for you. Walking every day is great. I need to do that myself.

eph2810 said...

I know all about job hunting. You can loose your 'drive' after a while. I hope that something will crystalize soon for you.
I wish I could paint - but I can't. I can draw a stick-figure - does that count.
Thanks for stopping by this morning.

LeighAnn said...
