You know those days...

Where you need a big, fat, good cry and a plate of brownies? Yeah. Its one of those days.

Jenson

In my lil decorating dreamland I've been working on stepping out of my little matchy-matchy box and trying some new things. I've been spray painting, switching art around, and second hand shopping. All things I've never been great at, but I'm trying to channel my inner $herdog. Haha!

Which brings me to this guy:

I found him for $8 at a second hand store. Hes a hand-made, slightly creepy, mostly awesome, cookie jar circa 1969 (I only know this because it was carved into his lil squirrely bottom).
I had been in the market for a cookie jar since Ryan has been demanding cookies on a weekly basis and my cookies are so delish a regular ol' tupperware just isn't worthy. Modest, much? ;)

So anyhow, after a lil bathy-poo (bahy-poo??! Oh my, do I need children or what?!)

He was all ready to spray paint a nice glossy white!! I love how he turned out. Please excuse the cell phone pics, our camera is MIA. (Haha! Camera? Action?!)

His name came to me as I was dropping him in the sink. I think I said something like 'In you go, Jenson, buddy.' Now if you'll excuse me I need to bake some cookies while I phone my shrink.

July Goals

Ok. Time to fess up. I flaked out on most of my May/June business.

Partly out of laziness. Partly because I got a promotion (yay) and so my work duties amped a little bit. And partly because of the whole clomid-no-go-hey-what-about-adoption-thing.

Good thing I never claimed to be perfect, eh?! ;)

Nevertheless, this whole monthly goals thing was always about progress and encouraging myself rather than perfection. So in that vein of thought... Here are my July goals!!

July Goals

1. Make a homemaker binder. Plus write a post about it.
2. Finish paying off credit cards (down to the very last bit!)
3. Read some scripture 4 days a week. Amount and book not important. Just get in the Word.
4. Take DHS Foster/Adoption class.
5. Paint cubby box for bedroom.

Hopefully the break from my goals will have been refreshing and not the start of a lazy summer. Ok. A little lazy is good. ;)
