To-dos, what to do, and Christmas is coming!

When I have a day off I usually try and plan how I'm going to spent it ahead of time. This helps to avoid the anxiety of feeling like my day is wasting away while I try and decide what to do. The last couple of Fridays were planned down to the T, with lists and everything, but not today. AH!
Should I finish those mushroom paintings? Start that bird painting? That text painting? Maybe I could make a new bag...I know I want to bake...If I need to go out and pick something up for a baking recipe, maybe I should do groceries too. But there goes two hours right there! Maybe I'll start making xmas decorations. Or finish that scarf. Work on my quilt? AH!

It's almost 9:30 and I'm still in my pj's, the day is flying by!

Deep breaths. There will be another Friday, next week in fact, I need to relax. This is really what I'm like, so you can see I'm hard to live with.

I've pretty much decided I want to make all my Christmas gifts (except for you, Chris, don't worry. I know you can't make XBox games : ) as well as my decorations. At work (a furniture store) we have lots of great decorations that are providing lots of inspiration. Everything is very antique-looking, nothing plastic-y, lots of earth tones.

This is really cute, so is this. I've seen really nice, simple garlands made of small metal disks painted to look rustic, attached with twine, that say things like Merry Christmas and Peace. I think that would be doable with thin cardbaord.
Oh yeah, I wanted to take my new bike out and try it...
