Things we're working on...

Charlie is still working on his co-dependency issues over here. However, the "cushion" (that shall never know the warmth of a kitteh) did get a good sniff down today. I'm going to call that progress. Significant progress.

And as you can see above, I'm working on adding larger images to this blog so you don't need a magnifying glass to see these well composed photographic gems. However, I'm worried that this is only going to highlight the poor quality of my photos.

I'm also going to work on my anxiety about showing my face on this blog. I figure it would be good to start with a really bad photo of me so that there is lots of room for improvement. A friend recently shared this stunning photo of me from a few weekends ago and I'm hopeful that there is a reason I was making this face, but that I just don't remember it. (In the interest of full disclosure I cropped my friend out of this photo because she was making a better, though still quite awkward face).

Meanwhile, and completely unrelated to things I am working on, this email from Netflix got me way too excited today. 

Yes I know I'm late to the Scandal party. Or maybe I'm mistaken and there isn't even a party to be late to. My in-laws like this show so I'm assuming it is also popular among ... other people? There might be a flaw in my logic... 

Somebody do something!

I've mentally transitioned to thinking that it's Fall (because the Summer is too exhausting) so I'm going to set some September goals. Also, I need the extra lead time. I figure goals are a good idea because:

1. I see other people doing it on their blogs all the time
2. I figure it might get me to come back her and post again 
3. I have lots of motivation to do house/fun/personal stuff between the hours of 8-5 (i.e. while I'm at work), but as soon as it's quitting time all I want to do is sit on the couch and play Candy Crush

Here are the goals:

1) Finish this decoupage masterpiece and get it hung on the wall:

2) Clean out spare bedroom closets and get closet doors because of this:

(I'm hopeful that the baby will be less blurry in real life.)

3. Start AND finish one (1) whole book. I've been feeling illiterate lately and I have a feeling that I'm only going to have less time to read in the future.

4. Attempt one (1) sewing project. I moved my sewing machine up to the corner of my office a few weeks ago thinking that I would be motivate to sew something if it were easier to get to my sewing machine. Now I just feel guilty.

5. Post to this blog five (5) times, that's less than once per week. I'm shooting for the moon here.
