Man, did I start one heck of a project for myself...and make a huge mess while I'm at it.   

I decided with proms, Mother's Day, Mem. Day and weddings all impending that I should take some time to really sort out and take note of my supply inventory.  So I began pulling all my ribbons, and paints, and a million other things out to see what I have and re-organize it all.  Well, now it's all over the floor and I'm on day 2 of trying to get it all put back.    It needs to be done though, when I get busy the last thing I worry about is neatness, so things tend to get thrown where they don't belong, which means that I can't find it next time I go to look for it, and that can lead to unecessary re-ordering of things that I already have.  So, I guess neatness does count.

I have a serious problem with keeping focused, though.  I start one thing & then get overly ambitious & lose my focus.  I'll start project A, then realize that the plants need to be watered & stop project A to do that.  As I'm watering the plants I'll see an area of the shop that I'd like to rearrange & begin doing that, then the phone rings, which brings me back the the area of the first project and reminds me that I'm still in the middle of of that.  It's just and endless pattern of a million started projects, zero completed ones.  I'm beyond help.    At least I'm ambitious though!

Hair:  I'm just wearing my hair very simply in a low pony tail today.  Washing routine was normal today, I scalp washed with Purity shampoo and conditioned with DMR.  Nothing too special today.  I think I may need another trim soon, I'm finding more splitz than I'm ok with, but I really didn't want to cut again this soon.  My hair will never get to my waist!  I honestly don't think I'm capable of it.  I always remember my great grandmother's hair, she never had her hair cut in her entire life and her hair never exceeded mid-back, about BSL...just like mine.  I really think that's my hair's limit, BSL.  I will keep trying, but I can't fight genetics!

Here goes a random thought, but I can't help wanting to be home on a day like today- it's perfect weather for hanging laundry out.  I just love line dried clothing, I love the fresh air smell, and I also love that I don't have to waste electricity on the dryer.  I actually enjoy doing laundry, I guess you don't hear that everyday!  It's relaxing to me, gawd only knows why, but it is!  End of random thought.

I haven't updated on T in a long time.  He's still seeing his acupunturist with good results, and he's still taking his herbs.  The most drastic improvement I've seen is in his anxiety levels, he's able to cope in public situations much better, he no longer has panic attacks or gets sick.  This used to be a huge problem, even just grocery shopping, it was terrible.  His appointments started with once a week, then once every two weeks, now he's up to once per three weeks, that's a good thing- we go again this wednesday.  Oooh, maybe that means a mall trip too??  I can really use some new clothes, especially jeans.  I've never worn clothes out like I do now.  Actually, I've never worn my clothes out before, period.  I don't know what the heck I'm doing differently, but I'm going through them like crazy!  ???

Here's another random thought, question actually.  Have you ever been sitting at your computer when the phone rings and you put the mouse to your ear instead of the phone?  Not saying that I've done this (  ), just wondering.

Okay, back to my million started/unfinished projects.  Later.

You man-basher! 

lol @ answering the mouse. hehehe That's definitely a Maggie moment. 

I actually kind of like doing laundry too. Just my own, though. There's something about giving all of my stuff the best care possible and then hanging it up and knowing that the next time I put it on, it will be perfect. 

It's easy to lose focus when you take on too much at once. Just try to do one thing at a time as much as possible.

...my poor hair is being so neglected right now 

I've been using Pantene's 2 in 1, moisturizing for dry/damaged hair for the past few days.  It cuts washing and drying time in half, which is a must right now, but I think it's taking a toll on my hair.  I'm seeing more splitz than usual, it's tangling much more, and I seem to be losing more hair than normal when I comb my hair.    Could be stress though.  I promise to pamper it when the holidays are over, I just don't have time for hair right now!  Or anything else for that matter!

I've been much more careful with keeping my razor out of my toothbrush's general area, that was almost a terrible mistake that I came very close to making, not totally unlike me though!

Back to work now, hopefully more later...

Let me clear up any confusion on that, during a stupor brought on by too much work / too little sleep, I grabbed the tube of toothpaste with my left hand and my razor with my right hand.  Upon attempting to apply the toothpaste to my toothbrush I snapped out of my weary stupor to realize that I was about to shave my teeth, not brush them.  But then I would have had to brush my legs, and that just would have never worked out.    So I swapped the razor for the toothbrush and went on with my day.  Make any more sense?   ???

To quote Angel, that was another authentic "maggie moment"!

Work
Well, I certainly set a new working record for myself this week, I worked from 7:00 am thursday morning until 5:00 pm friday evening...straight.  With the exception of going home for a shower & a quick rest, so take 3 hours out for that, so essentially 33 hours out of 48 hours, that took me to a whole new level of exhaustion.  I was getting a little wierd by the time 5 o'clock hit, I was making speech mistakes, spilling and knocking over things, and tripping over my own two feet, but it was finally time to go home...and sleep.  Sleep I did, for 12 hours!  I'm learning that the more tired I am when going to bed, the more I babble, yell and screech in my sleep, even sleepwalk sometimes too.  My poor husband said that I babbled all night long, I nearly gave him a heart attack by letting out a scream too, oops!  So, the more I rest, the less he does, sorry- I can't control it!  

I still feel very tired today, but have a lot of work to get done yet...so no rest for the weary I guess!  Like my grandmother always says, "I'll sleep when I'm dead"!

Hair
My poor hair.  I can't exactly say that it's being treated "badly", but it's certainly not getting pampered like it's been lately.  I hope it doesn't decide to rebel and leave me, "I love you, hair...I promise to treat you better, just give me another chance, you'll see!"

The usual hairstyle for me lately has been a low ponytail, which isn't very good because the underside of it rubs to much on my shirt and gets very tangly, and it's causing splitting and breakage.  Low piggy-buns, or a high up bun-kind-of-thing have been the other two hair options that I've been choosing from as well.  After memorial day I will schedule another trim to get rid of the splitz.  

Yesterday was my doggy's birthday, she turned 6...cinco de mayo doggy!  She asked for a pizza to celebrate, she said she understands that she can't eat the whole thing, but said she likes the "pizza bones" (that's what she calls the crust), so we said sure.  How nice of her to let us have all the rest of the pie...she just would have thrown it away!  Good doggy.

Yes, I'm still very sleepy...

Ok, I've got 20 vases to prepare for monday morning, it's Nurses' Week next week.  So, Happy Nurses' Week to anyone here who may be a nurse!  I hope to get it all done today so that I don't have to work tomorrow, I want my day off!  So, later gators!
