"Why won't some people ever change?!" I thought to myself frustrated. Speaking with Kelly about it later she said "what happened that made you frustrated with this person?" my answer? Absolutely nothing. But the past few weeks I had become increasingly annoyed with the little things.
So what had changed? It was the running. When running I was less tense, more happy, I dealt better with issues and had more energy. But the leg injury had stopped all of that.
Getting a treadmill to my house and making the realization of how much I had changed since I had stopped running both occurred around the same time and so I started up again. Now, four days later, I can feel the renewed energy and can laugh off a few more things. Praise God!!!
Next week I plan to be a little less aggressive and run every other day instead of every day. I am back. Try and catch me!

Minimum Maintenance
I love M&M's. They are such a simple candy. If you think about it they are really just chocolate drips in a hard shell package. Its the same amount of chocolate that, when baking, you drip on the counter when you move the spoon you used to stir the chocolate from the bowl to your mouth.
Growing up we hated cleaning and so my mom always tried to come up with ways to make it easier and more fun. One thing we did was MM, or Minimum Maintenance. We would spend 5 minutes in each room, clean as much as possible, and move on to the next room. We used a timer. We raced. We laughed. It was over quickly.
I am going to go back to this today. My house has been fairly organized lately and today I need to simply do a quick pick up and sweep. I wonder if it will still be as fun without my mom or brother here to help. Perhaps I should invite mom over?
We also used to gamble with M&M's when we played canasta.

I am Back!
Week of 52, Day of 6Days to next Tea , Days to next dinner
I am back and I am raring to go! Above you see my typical format from previous challenges. I love the title that I picked for this blog because it describes me perfectly! The reason I have left the above format is because I, once again, as is my habit, want to tackle the impractical. I want to try this again. Perhaps, just perhaps, I can accomplish the impossible. The reason I have not filled in the gaps above is because I am not totally convinced that I want to tack the same old impractical. Why not come up with something new and impractical? What a great idea!
So this is me, coming back to the world of blogging. Letting the writer in me giggle as I tickle its fancy, and the fanciful in me to stretch and yawn and say, "its about time!"

Moving Plans
Week 19 of 52, Day 6 of 6
SOOOOoooo everything has changed. I got the house that I put an offer on so I am no longer on an organization schedule and am not inviting anyone over yet. Currently my goal is to pack 1 area a day. I may still pack on Sundays because it really doesn't seem like work, its a lot of fun! I am VERY excited about this new place and organizing should be SO much easier as I will have 5 closets in the entire house plus the garage, plus the attic. In my current house...2 closets. Thats it.
So, I will keep you posted!

Week of 52, Day 2 of 6
Days to next Tea TBA, Days to next dinner 19
SOOOoooo February is going to be focused on kitchen, due to that fact I am going to start reading all the kitchen areas of the magazine that I got.
As for cleaning, tonight I will pick up the bathroom. I am, once again, exhausted so I need a small space to work on. Hopefully by Thursday I will find some energy somewhere in this house.
As for now, I am going to get ready for bed and clean while I am doing that.
Oh, quick tip, I had all my eyeliners and mascara that I needed somewhere to put it so I grabbed a tumbler from the kitchen and threw them in that and put it inside my bathroom mirror cabinet. I believe it will work out nicely!
