County Fair and Gung-Ho's

So I feel like my blog looks like the neon lights of a county fair on a warm summer night, and I don't know if I want that look for it....so bear with me as the look may change over the days and weeks to come. I changed the title, it will likely change again. It is fitting for me! I change paint colors in my house all the time, I change the way drawers and linen closets are arranged almost weekly and I often change the way my clothes hang in the closet. Do I arrange by color, length of clothes, which clothes are worn more frequently?Decisions, decisions!

I am certainly not a perfectionist and this personality trait of loving change is not just because I am in "nesting mode", I just like change. I am always searching for why I like change. Maybe it will come to me. So, as previously mentioned in my first blog, here is a list of "Gung-Ho's" (dreams I get eager about ) that never came to fruition:

1) Opening my own clothing consignment shop with high-end clothes......named Olive! (That still may happen, lets just get Kevin out of school first)
2) Writing articles for an OT magazine to make a little extra dough
3) Teaching a course on "How to play with your infant" at the Crisis Pregnancy Center (on my behalf, they dropped the ball on getting this class set up).
4) Continuing to take adult ballet, hip-hop and yoga classes.
5) Becoming a professional dog-walker (although I think I may scratch this from my list)
6) Getting fresh, organic milk delivered to my door
7) Joining a vegetable co-op
8) Making my own stationery and selling it at a cute little stationery shop
9) Making a homemade peach pie during the summer
10) Printing off digital pictures from the past 5 years.

That should do it for now. That list of 10 is enough to make one feel a little blue about not following her dreams, so next time I shall talk about dreams that do come to fruition!

Just needed a push

to get myself bloggin' so thank you Karen! I was too intimidated by My Space and too addicted to checking e-mail fourteen times a day, so this seemed like a good compromise. Maybe no one will read it anyway. I used to always keep a journal, but it was sometimes too painful to go back and read the angst entries, so keeping a journal that others can read is sure to keep me on my toes. This may be one of those things that I get gung-ho about initially, but wonder if I'll keep it up. Oh good idea for another blog.......things I get gung-ho about and don't keep up with. Too be continued when I feel like outing myself. Not today.
