Even though my job requires me to know the date, that still doesn't mean I don't walk around a fair amount of the time utterly clueless (except, ahem, when I'm actually doing my job. I swear.) 

I feel like I need a calendar for my:

work desk

home desk

kitchen

bathroom (seriously. i'm considering this.)

Think of all the amazing calendars I can buy! Weeee!

I love the look of these small drawery type things.  Plus, I'm pretty sure I could mount them on the wall...

Did chips ever come in glass jars?  And why don't they still??  I've saved lots of pickle jars and make good use of them on my shelves.  I love this large one.  It's unusual, silly and begging to be filled with something really odd. 

I am unforgivably bad at remembering birthdays.  I mark them on my calendar (when I remember to use it) but somehow they seem to slip through my mental cracks.  But how fun would it be to crack open this box, flip through, and check out what lies in the month ahead?  I dunno,  Maybe I need to use novetly fun as motivation to suck less.  (Plus you need to read the listing.  The first line is pure gold.)

"Industrial Metal Card Catalog" by Hindsvik

(drool drool drool)  Dear card catalog: I want you.

Anyone know of any libraries shutting down/clearing out old stuffs?

Please and thanks.

I will probably never host a New Year's party, but if I do, these invites are the ones!

"SO VERY HAPPY (red)" by dazeychic

It's all about the little things.  I really need to come back to that philosophy. 

Time to stop playing the "well, if" game.  ("Well, if it weren't raining, I'd be taking shop photos." "Well, if traffic wasn't a B, I'd feel like cooking dinner."  You get the picture.)

I am very lucky to have a room to devote to my crafty shenanigans.  And it. Is. A disaster.  I can't quite seem to tame all the stuff that's ended up in there.  And it's unforgivabley wasteful.  So yeah, that ends soon.  Plus, I can score some new awesome organizables.  Yesssss!

I'm pretty ashamed of the kinds of foods I've ingested lately.  Over the last year, it's been a steady, downhill slide, and cooking has completely fallen to the wayside.  It's pretty silly to have large kitchen, and not cook in it, isn't it? 

Anyway, that's where I am for my New Year's attitude.  Time to get to work!
