College Mode

My new years resolution for 2009 was to treat my body better. I wanted to eat healthier food (at regular hours), drink more water (and less sunkist), and to try to get enough sleep (at least 7 hours a night). I was doing pretty well for a while... until I took on an artsy project that was bigger than I anticipated.

I've slipped back into college mode. (Those of you who knew me in college can guess what that means. ) I'm having a great time doing this project and it's for someone I've wanted to work with for a while... but I got a little too excited and bit off more than I could chew. To start with, it turns out that I SUCK at color theory, especially compared to this woman. (not to mention her whole family) So it takes me a while to put everything together. (and I don't like taking a 'while' for anything.) Also, I'm working extra hours at my regular job during this time frame and I'm taking an advanced quilting class. (Oh Kim, you quilt?- No. No I don't. Again, too excited. Where is Cathy Kreis when you need her!? (C or K? )) Anyways, in order to make all my deadlines and fulfill all my allotted time commitments in my two week time frame, I should be able to get my 7 hours of sleep every night. I just have to forfeit commute, eating, bathing, and cleaning. 4 hours it is!

So, this is my excuse and quite whiny complaint that I don't have enough time to call, write, or text back. I'm sorry, but I will be rejoining the normal world soon I think.

Thank you to my husband who is taking very good care of me in my quite crazy state.
