Does It Ever End?

Due to some last minute signatures needed from the VA State government, I had to stay home today from work. So, yes even more money I won't get paid this week.

So I am taking the time to get rid of some clutter and stuff around the house. There are so many surfaces, boxes, and closets that need to be dug through and pared down. For the longest time, just the thought of doing this could paralyze me. I've decided to work slow, moving from one area to another, and taking small breaks (like this one!) as I go. Wish me luck.

The State of the Blog

I apologize.

I fell behind and I have been neglecting this blog. The updates come sporadically I know, however…

• I have four SHELTER Study interview requests out there. (I have received one interview back, so now the ball is in my court.
• I have at least five draft posts saved. (I need to complete some more research and track down or scan in a few more pictures.)
• I am working on a new header and there are some other design changes coming around the corner (I need to finalize the designs with the graphic designer.)

I want to write about:

• My discovery of two out-of-print home design books and how to get these books back into print
• What I have learned at my new (three months now!) job
• An interior designer I just found during an unrelated web search
• My first and only foray into designing and constructing a DIY mosaic table top, a project from 2001.
• My favorites from this years Small Cool contest on Apartment Therapy.

I have been:

• Participating in Sewing Therapy and Wardrobe Therapy on An Unexamined Life, my other blog.
• Dealing with my sleeping and eating issues…basically a lack of both.
• Dealing with financial issues. In a nutshell, I need more money.
• Learning a lot at my new job.
• Writing a weekly post for the 2Modern Design Talk blog alongside blog favorites Design For Mankind and sfgirlbybay.

The spring school semester ends in a few weeks, so expect more frequent posting this summer for sure. See ya soon!

Wish me luck.
