Christmas Is All Around Us

I feel bad for calling myself lazy yesterday.

Okay, not really, but I do feel that the statement was a little harsh, and that a non-Busy Bee does not necessarily constitute a Lazy Bee.

So, for the purposes of making myself feel a little better, here’s what I have managed to accomplish in my week of super slump.

I made this nifty little table out of repurposed materials I had lying around waiting to be used. If it looks unsturdy that’s because it is—but it’s cute enough to motivate me to find a way to fix it!

I’ve also been busy raising my little beasts. For reasons that will remain unmentioned, this involves scrubbing out my tub every evening. The little angels are doubling in size each week, and are quickly turning into ravenous monsters. Okay, I think they are still adorable, but pretty soon they will be too big for Bee to handle, and must return to the rehab center. *sniff*

I even made dinner. Twice.

To my great delight, I discovered this in my garden. It’s the only sweet pepper that is amounting to anything at all. I’m just hoping it keeps growing into something worth eating! I’m also hoping it turns orange, ’cause that’d be cool, but I’m not so sure that’s going to happen for me.

I’ve gotten a pretty good amount of reading done. Today we went out to enjoy the 88 degree cold front at Broad Ripple Park. Jeff ran three miles in the time it took me to purchase a lemon shake-up, stroll around the path two times, and read two pages of my book. See, I’m not lazy at all. 🙂

I’ve also spent some time designing my new blog. Because, you know, one blog just isn’t enough for a girl like me.

Actually, I intend for this blog to focus on my creative pursuits, which in turn will motivate me to pursue more creative projects. If you’re wondering about the “shop” link above the header, my goal is to eventually link my blog to my etsy store of the same name, and see if anyone might want to help me pay off my art school loans…

We’ll see how that works out.

In the end, it hasn’t been the most dreadfully lazy week of my life, though I definitely feel as if I’m emerging out of a hazy funk today. If this is the worst I can say for an unproductive few days, then I’d say that’s not so bad at all!

The opossums think so too.
