Spring Cleaning in February

This weekend I really wanted to start tackling my list.  It was a little bit of a rough week at work and I was just glad to be done with it.  I was excited for a plan-free weekend--until I realized I had plans.  Friday after work I headed to Jacksonville to have a grown up slumber party with my good friend Rebecca.  I hardly ever see her since she moved out there, and was glad to be able to see her.  I was reminded of my age as I was snoring on the couch by 10pm.  Oddly enough, we were both wide awake at 5:45am drinking coffee and looking through craft magazines.  I came home super inspired and headed to the library.  As I looked through hat books there, I feared the hat I am making was too small.  After my niece's birthday party, my friend Sarah informed me it was super small.  I couldn't rip it out myself.  So, I made her do it.  Believe it or not, I have never had chili.  I know, right?!  I think I just equated it with eating red gravy (marinara) like soup.  It was such a foreign concept to me.  When we had the opportunity to head out and have some for dinner Saturday night, I jumped at the chance.  I sometimes have to remind Adam that I want to try new things.  Then he is like, "Oh yeah, Okay."  It was great.  And it was Jimmy Fallon's recipe.  My only goal for today, other than normal cleaning, was to tackle our "craft/fishing" room.  This room has become a catch all for everything.  I don't think I have really been in there since we were robbed.  That, of course, isn't the reason it is still a mess, but it still had to be tackled.  I had Adam take out all of his fishing stuff.  My goodness, I didn't realize how much there actually was!  Then I had to wade through my hobbies past.  It was kind of sad to see have completed projects, empty scrapbooks, and random quilt squares.  I don't want to abandon things like this any more.  I want to FINISH what I start.  It is really important to me that I achieve those small goals.  That is why I feel it is important to knit everyday.  Even if just for a few minutes.  Every day.  It is great to incorporate something into my new routine like that.  I hope that this week is less eventful.  I have sadly dropped out of our "biggest loser" competition at work.  My weight has been  fluctuation with quitting smoking and hasn't helped that you have to pay when you gain.  So I think it is best for me just to kind of float for a while.  So that is where I am.  Floating.
