Focus Focus Focus

I've officially resigned myself to the fact that I've broken virtually all of my new years resolutions except the first one and maybe five.

Make up is an odd thing and it's hard to make sensible decisions when I'm still in the experimental stage. I'm still working on getting it to stay and to not look like a melting mannequin with acne by the end of the day.

Not buying clothes has actually become quite easy considering that it's not quite an active New Year's Resolution - I've gone about 130 days without buying any new clothes. While it was impulse control at first, now I find myself a little bored with it. I almost feel like taking on a 1/2 years resolution at the end of June. Among more interesting things, since I'm not buying any clothes this year, I have to make an effort to fit into the clothes I have. I didn't realize that I was in some twisted way resolving to maintain a certain figure and, subsequently, a diet.

That rant's done. When it comes to the quarterly project, I've concluded that it's hard to resolve to be inspired. It doesn't have to be artsy inspiration, just something that warrants the title "project." I'm currently in the process of making a wooden table top from oak planks. It's pretty cool, I don't know if I'm in the mood to chance the paint scheme of my desk though. It might be more work than I have time for.

Future posts? I'll do my best to try not to disappear for the next 3 weeks.
