Nesting

We're at T-minus two months to my elopement, five months until the family party, and hopefully one year from the beach party I want to throw in Florida for our friends. If this were like the last few years, I'd be getting ready to move yet again since I've lived in the same place for 9 whole months, but luckily, I'm staying put for now.

Whenever I get settled somewhere, I have to do a creative project. This year, I've learned more about fiction writing and written "the first good draft" of a book. This has taken countless hours and involved wrestling with the MS Office Suite (and of course I still have a huge grudge against their system and the work it failed to save- aarrrgh!). In all, it's been wonderful and tough, all at the same time.

Today, I'm contemplating going to the fabric store and making another one of those fuzzy quilts. I stumbled across the most adorable fabric that featured foxes, bluebirds and squirrels (my fave!) and I know I'll regret it if I don't at least stock up on it.

I'm starting a new job on Monday, so that means I'll have down-time again. Down-time is hard to quantify when you spend your time looking for a job and/or freelancing, because you never know when an opportunity will surface. But now, I'm looking forward to a few things seeming to be more organized.

See ya later, squirrels!
