goals...long and short


First...I am DESPERATE to get this puppy in my hands...I still can't believe that they asked me to be a part of it. The editor emailed me on Monday and said that they shipped 6 copies to me, but I haven't gotten them yet, and I am taking Sawyer to my parent's house tomorrow, so wait I shall.

I have had so many amazing scrapbooking experiences this year, but I am always hungry for more. "She" who shall not be named ;-) was supposed to send me some product for MT, but because the release was so small, we didn't get anything...my fingers are crossed for CHA. I really want to join a kit club...I think that it would be good to have monthly deadlines. I always do my best work under pressure. I might have to go check out the Pub calendar and see what is available.

Long term goals for me...get this skin disease under control. my HS (hidradenitis suppurativa) is getting worse. I have avoided antibiotics and surgeries up until this point, but it has spread, and I have a huge fear that it will start to affect my ability to work, to parent, to create...
SO...I am going to slowly work up to a month long detox. This week is starting with sugar. Next week...caffeine...after that...processed foods. My goal is to cut out everything except for foods in their most basic forms. I need to get some vitamin supplements and all natural soaps also. Luckily, the natural soaps are SO MUCH better than they used to be. That part will be fun. Wish me luck :)

This is not new (the picture or the sentiment)...but I love this boy. so much. The newest cute thing is that he will bring me dora, or elephant, or some other lovie, and say "give him a kiss." "give him a hug." "He's HAPPY!!!" SO. FREAKING. CUTE. We have been tantrum free for the last couple of weeks, so I know we are due for a rough week...but I am going to relish this time!
