Diary of a Crafty Girl

So tonight was pretty crazy, but before I get into that, a recap of the week is necessary... Wednesday was pretty ordinary - work job #1, work job #2, laundry and then I worked on the story I've been writing. The rough draft is complete so all I need to do is write the final copy :) Thursday was a long day. I worked a long shift, but I felt like I got nothing done because I kept having to move around and work all over the place. I work at a health club and can work a lot of different positions (since I've been there 11 years...) and I ended up having to cover a shift for an hour and a half and then another shift for an hour so that didn't leave much time for me to get my work done :( After work I did a pilates class and then attempted to run, but failed because pilates was intense and I couldn't push myself to finish the run... Friday I worked both jobs and then got to go home to my new Stampin Up! shipment! That excited me because I've been waiting for it to ...

Hey there! So it's been a weird few days for me... Sunday was mainly awesome - I was at work from 12:45 pm to 11:45 pm, mostly working, but also working out... During my work period I got to ogle a lot of hot guys since it was the first night of basketball and we had a lot of new teams (I work at a health club and run the men's basketball league). During my workout I ran a mile! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but when you weigh almost 250 pounds and are trying to get back into shape, this is a big deal... I also started on one of my stories during one of the slower basketball games. I'm glad I can multitask or I would get soooo bored trying to keep score at these games. Monday was unusual - I didn't go into work until 4:30 because I was up until about 1am since I had to work Sunday night. I did next to nothing during the day (watched TV and read some fanfics, nothing productive...) yet somehow when I got to work I was super cranky and it made my shift go b...

So I haven't been on here in over a year... I could give you a million excuses as to why, but I don't even know the actual reason :/ I got busy in life and let this slip away from me and I sort of regret it.  While it was fun to think that I could do a challenge a week, I simply couldn't and it became more of a chore than a fun thing to do to get my creative juices flowing. While I haven't really been crafting in my time away, I have had a lot going on. My grandpa passed away, I have attended Origins twice, went to Florida and Las Vegas, got a promotion at work and have moved with my family from Burlington back to Crestview to the house that we lived in when I was younger (weird, I know, but it's also really cool). After a lot of thinking, I don't want this blog to just be about crafts. I want it to be about my life and the crafty things that I get to do while living it. That being said, I hope that I will be more proactive in posting things and maybe that w...
