Hello all: I'm constantly sitting on the couch wondering how to motivate myself to get things done. My husband is so patient that he really can't be my accountability partner. My mother is also a no go; I usually do the opposite of what she suggests, no matter how sage her advice. It's a spite thing. So, I have decided to turn to the world wide web as an accountability partner...
A little about myself: Currently, I am a poker dealer putting my husband through nursing school. He finishes his degree next week! So, my excuse of being the breadwinner will not hold much longer... crap. I have developed some anxiety issues over the last few years, due to finances and not loving my job. That, and as the title of this blog suggests, I'm crazy. OK, crazy might be too strong of a word. Silly, eccentric, unique, goofy, creative, manic, etc... combine all those words together, and you get: crazy. Oh, and long winded. Get yourself a good cup of coffee before you delve to much further into my journey...
Because of my anxiety, I have been looking for different methods to relieve my stress. Couponing was fun; I still do it. But my true passion is crafting. Namely, re purposing, but really any craft will do. Oh, and coloring. I love coloring books and crayons! But this blog will cover so much more than just the crafting. My house is a disaster; I am a terrible homemaker. I love to cook; I hate to clean up after. I do clean up, usually; I just hate it. My food usually comes out very good. We own an apartment building that is still a work in progress six years after we bought it. I am overweight; my doctor has been lecturing me about my cholesterol. I have started my own business (per my husband's suggestion). I go to estate sales, auctions, garage sales, thrift stores, ect... and find items to resell on Ebay or Etsy. I've named my business HLR Estate Treasures. I've done a good job of acquiring inventory; I've done a terrible job of reselling it... All these shortcomings just require a little bit more motivation on my part. And that's where you all come in. My readers (if I get any) will be my motivators. I will very soon post pictures of my disaster of a house, my business inventory, my crafting corner, and maybe myself. And hopefully, in time, I will start posting pictures of improvement in all these areas. For now, I will just try to take a breath and get started!
