Lots going on right now. Need to make a list. Beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed and need to compartmentalize.

Garden: We'll be going to a few nurseries in the area to find plants, hopefully some of them (or all of them?) organic. I got out the Texas gardening books today and need to dig up the websites so we can figure out what we're going to do. I know B is mainly focusing on the vegetable garden, but I really want to fix the front flower bed as well.
Guests: My parents might be here starting this Saturday for a week. They won't know until about mid-week when my mother's coworker is supposed to return to work after surgery.
.
Minnow Minnow Pea: I need to work on cutting out material to have saved up for sewing sessions. I also need to work on a design for a website, finding a graphic for the logo, deciding on a font for the logo, and laying out the pages I want to have. I'm trying to decide if I want to forward the blog there and lock this one down to friends only. If I do that, I'm trying to decide if I should bother putting the recipes over there as well. I will definitely have the crafts blog over there and then just dump ChaCha. I really need to get the tags/labels ordered, too.
Crafts: On a related note, I need to complete the boat blanket for Maddy (one cable panel left, and then whip stitching it together and knitting the border). I also have plenty of bibs to finish. They're just needing snaps. Gifts need to be given!
House: Lots of cleaning I want to get done. Our bedroom still has piles of artwork from when we moved... two years ago. I also want to make a final decision on the color in the bedroom and the dining room. We'll probably paint the dining room next since it's so easy, and I'm pretty sure we're sticking with the brown chip we picked out last year. I thought we had finally decided on red for the bedroom, but now I'm torn. I love the blue in the guest room so much I think I might want that in the room back there. I'm so frustrated now.
Job Hunt: I am still rather beat down about this whole job hunt. I have my fingers crossed on one position, but it isn't even open yet. I also received an email from a recruiter in Georgia for a remote position and I keep forgetting to call him back. I get a few minutes when Sophie is sleeping and my brain just shuts down and I forget about all the other things I need to do until she gets up again. I hate that.
Craigslist: I was able to get a few things sold from the last big listing I did, but not much. I took more pictures of items today and will be posting those soon. This stuff needs to be gone!
Weight Loss: I have been overweight my entire life. I am tired of being overweight. Unfortunately, I like food. My portion control isn't bad, nor are the foods I eat, normally. However, my metabolism is in the toilet and I really need to work on giving it a good jump start. I need to focus on drinking more water, getting better sleep at night, and cutting out the things I eat/drink on a regular basis that are detrimental to my overall health. I also need to figure out an exercise plan that I can manage with Sophie around.
LJ: This is low priority, but still something I want to work on. I changed the layout and it's okay, but I think I'd like to find a different one. I really like the three column layout, so I don't want to give that up. That limits the layouts that work for me, of course. I also really want to work on my user icons and setting up various mood themes. Of course, I'm fairly behind on comments right now, so I'd like to get those cleared up as well.
Future posts: I have a few ideas running around in my head regarding future posts. Some of these are posts I have said I'd be writing for over a year now, some of these are newer. I am horrible about writing these down or actually getting around to writing them. Meh. Some of these ideas include posts on children's books, working from home, various movie and music reviews, various tips and tricks in the kitchen (such as how I store my bacon, exciting I know), as well as the picture and video posts I keep promising.


I think that's about it for now...

About to be posted to the DFW communities...

I have some listings on Craigslist I'd love to see gone. Most prices are negotiable. The Sofa set is my in-laws' and I can put them in contact with you if you're interested. If more pictures or further details are necessary, please feel free to either email me through the listing or leave a comment here. Because I'm cross-posting, I'll place the list behind a cut. Please note: I am willing to make some exceptions to my rules and requirements to fellow LJers, so if you respond via Craigslist, please let me know you found the sale via LJ!
( Click here for the listings! )

Okay, kids. This is just the first group of items. I'm about to toss this up on Craigslist but if any of you are interested you get first dibs (cost of shipping paid by you). Most of the stuff is baby related, but there is a little bit of toddler stuff in there. Let me know if you want anything or if you think I should change some of the prices for Craigslist. Should I include more links? I plan to get the pictures up as soon as I have them resized. Vista doesn't have a quick resizer that I've found yet. I'm not sure if it was an add-on that I was using in XP or what, since it would have been installed quite a long time ago now. I'll have to dig around for Vista add-ons when I have free time. ;)

I need to start listing things on Craigslist again. I have some big ticket baby items that need to be sold (the swing, an exersaucer, stroller/car seat combo that never sold) as well as a few other things that will probably be easier to sell through Craigslist than eBay. Of course, I didn't take advantage of eBay's free listings last month (like the dork that I am), but I have stuff that needs to be listed there as well. I think I'm going to thin out my yarn stash a bit since I've got way more than I'll ever need and nothing planned for most of it.

lifehacker just recently posted a very cool Seller's Guide to Craigslist. I'll have to see if they have one for eBay as well. I need all the help I can get.

I also need time, lots and lots of time.

I feel awful. I have listed a few things on Craigslist lately and have had wonderful success getting rid of things. Unfortunately, I didn't pay very close attention to the stroller/car seat combo I tried to sell and when a potential buyer was out here to look at it, she discovered a hole in the fabric. I could kick myself for not paying closer attention. In any case, I'll be updating the listing tonight. I gave the lady her money back and told her not to worry about it. She was so nice about it, too!
