[ happy labour day! ]
I HOPED to have my DIY project ready to reveal today, but I encountered a few glitches along the way. Needless to say, there was a lot of cursing going on and the fun factor was dwindling {don't you hate that?}.
Anyway, thought I'd post a thought for the day instead...

Hope you're having a lovely long weekend! I'll try to make some progress on my project!

I CAN'T think of a better thing to do on a weekend afternoon! Have a good one!

[ happy monday! ]
HOPE YOUR weekend was a good one! I'm making some headway on my writing which is great ~ I just need to remember to take a break now and then ~ all this sitting in front of my laptop is giving me a certain type of glow!
Here's to a happy start to the week!

[ wise words ]
WHENEVER I'm feeling a little embarrassed about how pale I am even though I live in Dubai, I see a bad self-tan walk by and am reminded that...
And I'm ok with being my pale, translucent self.

[ jokes and such ]
MY GOODNESS! Who would have thought a joke would hit a nerve? Most of you saw the humour in yesterday's post. Have I ever left a card like that on someone's car? Of course not. But that doesn't mean that words like a-hole and other expletives haven't crossed my mind when someone has dinged our brand new car, or parked on an angle so there's no way to back out, or parked so close that I have to crawl through my trunk to reach my driver's seat.
I'm happy to hear that not everyone can relate and that fellow citizens are much more considerate in some parts of the world. But sadly, a lot of 'Be Considerate' chapters seem to be missing from the Basic Manners handbooks everywhere and jerk parkers are a daily occurrence. That's a heck of a lot of people just having a bad day. Of course the term a-hole was a bit mean, but that's why it's funny {as I'm typing this, I'm wondering why I'm trying to explain a joke}.
As for Anonymous, telling me you're going to stop following my blog just because you don't see the humour - was that mean? I think so. But that's ok - I have my big girl panties on. And maybe you were just having a bad day.
Happy weekend everyone!

[ best feelings ]
I WOULD add hugging my guy when he returns home from a business trip. What are your best feelings in the world?

THANKS FOR all your lovely comments on my thrift store bed! I'm still unsure if I'll paint it, although the majority of you voted for painting it so I'm leaning more that way. I'll be sure to post the 'after' when I do get it complete and installed. For now, it's another project on my ever-growing list!
I came across some wise words that are fitting for this time of year when we are all trying to start fresh. I think I'll post this in my studio as a daily boost. :)

[ resolutions and such ]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I don't know about you, but I've pretty much done away with New Year's resolutions ~ as good as my intentions are, inevitably certain goals eventually go off the rails for one reason or another.
So instead of beating myself up about what I have or haven't stuck to, I've decided to simply adopt a few things that are much easier to adhere to: living in the moment, appreciating what's around me, being happier.
But most of all, this...
... and for me that means less time on the computer and more time creating! My projects list just seems to grow and grow {partially due to Pinterest} but I need to devote more time to being creative and completing projects and less time finding new ones!
What about you? How do you feel about resolutions?
