life of uncertainty

I’m having a hard time staying focused today. It can’t possibly have anything to do with the nothing but sugar I’ve been eating pretty much all week. I plan to attempt to control that starting tomorrow.

I’ve been spending a lot of time looking around for crafts for my children and I to do for Solstice/Christmas. This leads me to a list, of all things lovely, some seasonal, some not so much.

- tattoos, I’m dying to get my first one but having a hard time finding a good design. I know what I think I want but the options go so many ways even with one symbol. If you need a good place to look around check out this site, www.tattoofinder.com

- ornaments, a fellow mama turned me onto this collective site. I’m loving it as much as I am the individual crafts, the name is pretty great as well. Check out the stained glass ornament, the little caps, a candy dish, menorahs, and rainbow jewels

- this bookcase, the girl shared it with my months ago and I can’t get it out of my head. Damn having no money!

- my little Miss

My little Who

- winter break from school, for me

- this book, and this one, and this one too!

- plans for baking, cake balls and hopefully these chocolate sugar cookies. Bakerella is always so fun even if I stay simpler than her ideas. I think I’ll use the recipe for the cookies from the joyofbaking.com

- getting and decorating our tree

- lazy weekends

- Christmas shopping without leaving my house, finding everything I’m looking for and no shipping or handling charges

- a weekday lunch with my kidlets

- joining Phi Theta Kappa

- Christmas music cds from friends

- eggnog, ham, turkey, rolls, butter

- planning to put together a basic craft toolbox so my kids and I can have fun whenever the urge gets us. I’m thinking Modge Podge, paints, some adhesives, foam paint brushes, craft foam? Suggestions? I welcome them all.

- my X-acto knife set

- The end of the day
