How do you eat an elephant???

One bite at a time! If you are hearing that saying for the first time, you probably feel like I did. What? But when you think of it in the context it was intended, it helps. Right now I am fighting feeling overwhelmed..

I have spent so much time lately learn, studying, marketing and more on my photography stuff...that some of the progress I made when I first quit working has slide backwards. For example, my garage. I can clean it, organize it and put everything in it's place and it seems that it slowly (or not so slowly) creeps back to the way it started! I admit that part of it is totally my fault...I have a small to medium size stack of stuff out there that I keep telling myself I am going to get pictures of and get it on eBay to sell. And it hasn't happened. It is paintball stuff that isn't being used by us, but it still worth a decent amount of money and I can't bring myself to just donate it when I could sure use the money for several things!!!

I now have to add on figuring out what I want to do about my forced remodel in the upstairs bathroom. Since I have to do it now anyways, I hate to pass up the opportunity (notice the insertion of a little positive attitude!) to update and take advantage of this time to take down the floral wall paper that was here when we moved in and is starting to take itself down and redo the walls. So this means since there was wallpaper up and the walls are not textured, I will have to texture them before I can paint or whatever. This house was built in the 90's and polished brass was the "in" thing to have. I am trying to slowly (as I can afford to) replace it through out the house. So I "want" to also take care of that in this bathroom at this time and get some new fixtures. Unfortunately that includes the shower door too. I am going to have to really plan this and work the budget because I want to get as much done as I can for as little out of pocket moolah to us! I have more time than I do money right now, so anything that I can do myself and save the money I need to do. Which just makes my pachyderm (sp?) friend just get bigger!

I actually have several more things I was going to discuss with you all which would have made this a really really long post..but I have decided that typing out the list of "stuff" is actually not helping improve my appetite for my elephant meal! So instead...I think I am just going to grab my knife and fork and just keep on keeping on. Unless someone wants to send me a truck load of money..in which case I will just hire someone else to eat this elephant and I will sit back with some bonbons, put my feet up and just supervise! Message me if you need my address for the truck driver to deliver too!

PS...once I get the pictures off my camera's from this weekend, I will have a really cute and fun post about our trip...that was one of items for the aforementioned "list". I will get to it eventually. I am afraid this is really going to affect my re-commitment to getting my scrapbook pages done! Unless I just totally cut out sleeping...
