Oh My! I've finally learned to "FLY"

I'm not going to even start telling you about all my organizing troubles. It would bore you to death as well as embarrass me, so let's just not go there, K? But, I will say, I must have adult ADD or some other problem because I can never seem to finish anything. I go from one thing to the next, leaving the remnants of whatever project I'm working on wondering if I'll ever come back. I do, eventually, but everyone else has had to stare at my project until that finally happens. Needless to say, "if it's not fun for all, it's not fun at all". Well, here's where my story begins. A new chapter is here, and hopefully, will be my forever story as a new inproved, organized freak. Allow me to introduce you to my new best friend, The Fly Lady. You heard it here folks. My friend is a fly. Not really, but she is unique. Fly means "Finally loving yourself." This is because when we are not organized and things are not where they should be, you are unhappy with yourself. Possibly, it's even made you a little depressed and having self-loathing. I know because I did that. Flylady.net is a service (free) that you can join that puts a little routine and daily activities to help you stay focused on what needs to get done. Having such a simple helper has really changed the way I look at things. I'm calmer, and feel much more in control of my day. Check it out and see what you think. By the way, the shoes habit, wearing lace up shoes everyday is never gonna happen for me. I wear flip flops everyday. I live in Florida. It's in our rule book somewhere that we have to wear them. I go to Old Navy and buy them in every color. Love them, love them, don't even try to take them away from me. Besides that, I agree with her 100%.

Happy "FLYing" girls!

p.s. These are the best things ever invinted! If you've never tried them, you're gonna love them!!! They clean just about everything. I have a huge stash of these.

You keep me in stitches...

Ok, so here's my newest obsession....knitting! It's great, and I really love doing it. I find it's very relaxing, and fun to create something out of otherwise wasted time. My very favorite needles are my bamboo ones. They make no noise and they aren't cold like the metal ones. They really make my hands freeze. Whether or not I'm the only weird one that has that problem, I don't know, but it happens to me. You see the white scarf? It's my first "big" project and has several, shall we say, "issues" wink wink. That's ok though, I'm just a beginner, and I'm sure it's all part of the learning what not to do process. The two washcloths, I'm pretty proud of as they are mistake-free. I plan on making matching ones for each bathroom as well as kitchen towels. Yay! This is fun. So, if you're a knitter, feel free to share what you're working on, any great tips, websites etc. I'd appreciate any knitting info. I do plan on going to Unwind the Yarn Shop in Ft.Walton Beach soon. They have classes and lots of cool projects.

Happy knitting!
