Thoughts From the Dirty City

There was a holiday…so I was busy with family and visiting and all the standard stuff that comes with a holiday. I’m still trying to recover a bit from the whirlwind fatigue that follows. I’m looking forward to the free time of my usual weekend. One that will allow for extra sleep and some much needed catching up.

Work has been keeping me more than busy.
The planning and preparing for a big annual event has me spinning a bit. Stress and worry that everything wont get done on time has been giving me daily panic attacks.  Too many days when the list of things to do seems to be growing exponentially and the days are ticking off faster and faster. I start to fret. Okay, more like completely freak out.

Slowly but surely it’ll get there though. I just need to remember to breath and keep plugging away. Eventually it will all get done. Or the event will happen without whatever it is I am fretting over that moment. Either way, by mid May it will all be over. No reason to panic. Like everything else in life, just breath and keep moving!

Side Projects
I’ve also been spending a lot of time thinking and planning for a new side project. It involves something I have been thinking about doing for a while now. Recently I decided to just do it now rather than wait for the “perfect” time. I’m just going to do it and let the chips fall where they may.

I’ve realized it can’t happen all big and grand the way it is in my daydreams. That just isn’t realistic. I’ve also realized that doesn’t mean it can’t happen at all though. Everything has to start somewhere. I’ve got a rough idea of where to start and I’m working on making it happen.

How was that for vague?
It’s really early in the planning and thinking stages and not a whole lot has been decided yet. So there isn’t a whole lot to say specifically at the moment. But soon! Hopefully very soon. For now I’m just excited for the prospect. That initial step.  The decision to move forward. I just know in my heart that it’s time to make some changes. Shake the dust off the routine. Step outside my comfort zone and try something new.

I’m trying to enjoy the process and remember that all the work is because its something I want to be doing, not something I HAVE to be doing. That line of thinking seems to be counter to my nature. I’m a “dig your heels in and get the job done” kinda girl. And while that is great under a deadline, it can occasionally be a fun-sponge to tasks I would prefer to savor and enjoy. Hopefully this little adventure will help to curb that tendency a bit as I move forward, remembering to take my time and enjoy it.

I can’t wait for it to start to really take shape so I can share more!

Wardrobe Therapy
No worries, all my babbling and griping about clothes will return soon.

I am woefully behind on my wardrobe therapy tasks. Week 3 came and went and week 4 is here. How is that possible? Time moves in the craziest ways.

Anyway, a continuation post to the week 2 task regarding support garments (targeting sports bras) was in the works. Considering how backlogged I am though, I may just skip that and revisit it at a later date.  Cause really, as long as they keep the girls firmly in place while everything else is flying akimbo who cares. It’s the gym, style doesn’t count.

For now, I have a date with a pile of ill fitting pants and a polyvore account to create

See you all on the up side!

Very much looking forward to the McQueen show!!
