Another Day is Done...

Today was a pretty uneventful day, but i was thankful for it anyway...

some days, i like to be lazy. i feel that on days that i have lots to do and feel accomplished, i also feel that those are days that i miss out on the girls. i have always had troubles with this. i need to learn balance in my life. i am an indulger...with an obsessive personality. i need to find a way to have days that i can cross things off my to do list, while spending ample time with my family. i will have a week or two when i am highly productive. the house stays clean, the laundry is caught up, and the dishes never sit in the sink. having this all done, i get to spend time in my studio. then there is the other side of me. the lazy side...everything gets backed up....i get embarrassed.

on the positive side, i got two more salon chairs done, dropped off, and two more picked up. the recovering process has been a long time coming, and it just feels good to have that off my shoulders. its amazing how much it changes the look of the salon to have fresh chairs.

i am signing up to take an upholstery class too. i am excited for this. it always is a confidence booster to learn a new skill. i have this little dream.... it would be wonderful someday to own my own boutique. i would sell furniture i have rescued, repainted, and reupholstered, giving it new life. home furnishings, such as handmade pillows, decorations from my collections, and have local artists' goods as well. pottery, paintings, photography, along with personal accessories. i would love this. a little homemade heaven.

we visited borders tonight. i have decided to try and take up reading again. i read so many childrens books in a day, i think its time to do the same for me. i picked up a book called 'Good without God'. i heard it was a good read, so we will see. what i really wanted to do was pick up a copy of Rhoad Dahl's the BFG, and pretend i was a kid again.

now im sitting with Bottlerocket on my chaise contemplating what to do next. cuddle with the kitty and a good book, or make a pot of coffee and get to work on some more chairs?
