My Newest Obsession

So I’ve had a Pinterest account for months. I even had one back when you still had to be “invited” to join. I’d heard all the hype and people talking about spending hours at a time on the site and honestly, I didn’t get it. At. All. Over the months I’d tried it out a few times, but I still couldn’t imagine spending more than about 5 minutes browsing the site and even at that, it seemed like I’d never be on there enough to ever remember to do any of the things I’d “pinned”. About a week ago that all changed. I was still hyped up from the organization I had accomplished in the basement but WAY too tired to actually get up and physically get anything done. I figured it was as good a time as any to try to figure out Pinterest. I decided to go in and organize my boards (I still had a … Continue reading →

The big day of the Wednesday night get together at my house finally came. Nobody ran out screaming, horrified by clutter, so it was definitely a success. I’m really so glad I put so much effort into getting the house ready because although things are still far from perfect, I was able to relax and enjoy my friends. As an added bonus it allowed me to finally show off some of the work I’d done painting and decorating over the last year or so. Which in turn motivated me even more to keep going with everything. (Hooray for motivation!) Even with all the work I’d put in over the last couple of weeks to get ready I almost had to cancel the whole thing because of an almost complete inability to sleep over the last week. As the name of this blog would suggest, I suffer from bipolar disorder and I am … Continue reading →

What a weekend! My husband had Friday off work, but my oldest still had school so I figured this was a great time to have a 3 day weekend for myself to get some things done around the house while my husband watched our little one. The deadline of friends seeing the house for the first time is looming near and much still needs to be done. I got off to a rip roaring start Friday morning by sleeping in until almost 11am. Pathetic, I know, but the opportunity doesn’t happen often and I seized it (as much as someone can seize something while unconscious). I spent the remainder of the day clearing off some furniture that had to be moved to different rooms. (It was a bigger job that it sounds. It really is amazing the way items just hurl themselves onto standing furniture like no one will notice or care. … Continue reading →

Coupon Chaos

So with the many things that have been going on over the last week and a half I’ve had a lot of ideas for posts, just not a lot of time to actually sit down and type. (One of these days I suppose I’ll have to break down and get a smart phone, but I’m holding out as long as I can due to my outrageous stubborn streak and senseless anxiety over having to learn new technologies.) My family and I went on vacation last week during my oldest son’s Spring break. When we returned we had a lot of obligations to meet and places to go, but by late Sunday afternoon things had calmed down and our lives were finally ours again. And then I was greeted by this   This monster is the stack of uncut coupon inserts that had been accumulating throughout my house for just over a month. Now … Continue reading →
