I just got a lot on my plate

So a lot of things are going on with me. Here is the run down.

• I am currently in the seventh ring of corporate hell working under a lot of stress on a high profile project which is sucking up a lot of my free time due to long hours. Last week I did not leave the house from Monday evening till Friday afternoon. That is just wrong!
• I have been sucked into the Twilight series and can't put it down. Due to the aforementioned long work hours I am finally in the middle of the last book in the series. While this is not high brow literature Stephanie Meyer certainly is one heck of a storyteller.
• I had my first two etsy sales last week. Luckily I was able to get them out relatively fast and my clients were pleased with the final results.
• I have decided to launch a second business which should start taking up a lot of my time. More details to follow.
• We made a decision to just go with our contractor in redoing our bathroom for a number of reasons. 1- We can barely get to the minor home projects we have on our list now. 2- We want it done quickly and because of both of our time schedules with work that may not be feasible 3-We want to keep harmony in our home and I am seeing that DIY and the Petersons are not a good combination. 4- Tiling scares me. End of story.
• I now need to choose flooring, a vanity and fixtures for the bath.
• I have decided to do a minor redo of the basement. We have reorganized the bookcases (I am still searching out decorative elements), I cleaned out and organized the closet, got a new entertainment shelf, and am now looking for a new coffee table.
• I am backlogged on posting new items to my etsy shop. 

Whew seems like a lot and that doesn't even count some of my other pursuits like getting a sewing machine, finishing our wedding album, etc.

When I list it all out it seems overwhelming but this is just half the stuff that is swirling around in my head on a daily basis.

Its Only Wednesday ........

Its only Wednesday and I want to the week to be over already. Not only am I and my team at work getting consistently handed our patooties on a silver platter which means late hours and a lot of stress, but to top it off I have somehow seemed to have caught some type of virus which is causing me nausea most of the day. Its not cool when you toss your cookies in the middle of a meeting - thank goodness I work from home. And how the heck did I get sick anyway when I work from home and have virtually no exposure to the outside world? I am just hoping I am well in time for this wedding we have to attend this weekend.

But one good thing is I got my camera bag this week (insert happy dance) that my husband bought me as part of my Christmas gift. Now I feel so stylish and chic with my cute camera bag. Isn't she pretty?

If you would like to get one or check out their other choices it is from the etsy seller XcessRize, and they have all kinds of funky camera and laptop bags.
