Back In The Saddle

I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I took a month 'off', just doing the bare minimum of 'businessy' type things. I'm trying to make March a pleasantly productive month. Tonight I went for a walk/jog (so beautiful outside!) and did most of my taxes. Tomorrow and Wednesday I have plans, but I intend to finish and file my business paperwork, if not by Friday, then by next Friday. I have two pairs of earrings and two necklaces to make, and then I will start building inventory. The nice thing about having a jewelry business is that you get to wear your inventory.

I'll get some canvasses and finish my kitchen paintings. Then work on something else for around the house. Maybe the bathroom, maybe the bedroom.

I'm just trying to keep things moving creatively, while still keeping a peaceful life.

On a different note, I have decided to update my wardrobe, but take Stacey and Clinton's advice and buy better quality, less quantity. I've started by ordering a pair of pants and a skirt. Love the skirt, undecided about the pants. I tried them on today and thought they were horrible. I tried them on again tonight and I don't think they're horrible... they're a little slimmer fit than I'm used to, but they don't look bad. (I don't think...) The good thing is that they are long enough to wear with heels! So, we'll see. It would be nice if I could accumulate a small rotation of long-enough pants and some new skirts. I'm doing pretty okay in the tops dept, but those are easier to find anyway. Then there's the problem of summer casual.

Anyway. This is all part of my radical acceptance program. Buy clothes that make me feel great... so I feel great! What a concept!

Tummy update: ick. Still have tummy ick. Tonight is sushi-style rice... and water. I guess I thought if I just followed the program I'd magically feel better. I guess the point is that you have to follow it for awhile to get your tummy settled, and then you have to stick to it. Geez. So I guess it's fairly strict for me for the rest of this month.
