Again, I overthought this one. I usually take the term 'always' pretty seriously. I can think of many occasions when the things that usually cheer me up have failed, so making a list of things that ALWAYS cheer me up was a list of one thing for a while. I decided to get past the technicality of 'always' and just jot down a list of the things that almost never fail. So with that, here is my list for this week:
• Jesus • My sweet little dog Lacey (who is no longer here) • My husband • Dancing • A good shower • Being creative/working with my hands • Finishing a nice card or scrapbook layout • Listening to Adventures in Odyssey • Good food • Yam fries • Lamb ribs • Scoring awesome deals • Curling up in a big, cozy blanket and being able to just escape and rest • Freshly shaved legs and armpits • Ice cream • Cute little critters • A good movie • A good TV show • Kombucha • Psych All in all, there are probably hundreds of little things that can cheer me up. I'm a pretty simple person, and it's the little things that make my heart happy. But these...these are the things that do it the most for me.

Now this is the kind of list that I can get into. I’m a spacial designer; organizing, colors, concepts, patterns, scale, decor, styles. I love it all. You might not be able to tell by the look of my house right now though, but I have plans for this little home of ours. Our home is a three level zero lot line house that was built in 1941. My husband bought it when he moved up here for college 7 years ago, and it has been full of roommates until we got married 7 months ago. I've always wanted to get my hands on this little house and bring it to its full potential. Unfortunately, life is real, and many projects have taken precedent over many of the design and restorative projects. But I'm confident that these things - and more - will get done. Eventually. Anyways, here's my list. Hopefully I’ll make it a little less boring for you by giving you an inside look into our home. • Get clocks for our bedroom, the craft room, the office, and the living room (checked the living room clock off the list this week! Not bad for $3.99) • Frame my gold foil prints in white frames and display them on the wall above my crafting workspace. • Paint the downstairs bathroom and get new cabinet storage • Put in our new light fixtures in the bathrooms • Replace the old curtains from the previous house guest who happened to be an elderly lady with new ones. • Get a new mattress • Get that TV unit from IKEA for our back bedroom wall area • Create a picture gallery to the left of my dresser • Paint the whole basement - be rid of the peach! • Freaking get my DVD collection out of boxes & off the bookshelf that eventually needs to go and put them onto shelving/cabinets on the wall of the therapy space • Create a photo wall in the main stairwell • Find and display wall art for the game room • Get rid of all of the misc. boxes laying around • Keep greenery in the house! So yeah ignore the huge mess that our house is in right now. That's not the norm. Well, our goal is for it not to be the norm. The basement it seems is in a constant state of chaos due to moving in, sorting through, and trying to establish places for everything still. But that will soon hopefully change. There are a billion other things that I have in mind for this place, but we'll just leave it at the list above for now :) |
