I would love to spend an afternoon and make some activity baskets for the kids. Sometimes I find and have great craft ideas, but the pre-time that is involved with getting them together is a lot and by the time I am done the kids have found something else and I am done with the project that we haven't even started. So if I can have stuff pre-made that would be great!
Next is a task I've been dreading just as much as I've been wanting to tackle. I have this beautiful gold fabric, that I've had for almost two years now, and I'd love to get it onto my couches, but I'm scared. On all the home improvement shows that I've watched, they make it look so easy to recover furniture... but looking at this project, I'm now not so sure. Some day I'll get brave, maybe.
I am creating a website to sell custom photo card and greeting cards. It's called Vida Dolce right now unless I can think of anything else before I go live. Now I just have to create a bunch of templates which is the super fun part. I'll need every one's help marketing it though so be prepared for an email in the near future.
I really want to start working out again. Not so much to loose weight, but to tone up and get my strength back. I've cancelled my gym membership because it was proving to be a HUGE waist of money, oh yeah, and I never went, so it's all me now. Some friends and I talked about doing a Sat. morning boot camp together, so that would be fun. If I could wake up in the morning I would start running again, but it's sooooo early. Eric is on a total kick with this P90X program, so if he does it when I'm home maybe I'll try to keep up with him and gain a six pack that way. Who knows what will work, but something has got to happen.
So in all my free time I'll be working on these things. Life is fun!

Call me when you have veggies coming out your ears...I'd love to take some off your hands. I'll even come help you weed for it!
If you end up doing bootcamp, I would love an invite. I always had this idea of doing a stay-at-home fat camp, but kids make that impossible.
I love where you said that your little projects turn into big things that cause meltdowns and overload-- I know EXACTLY what you mean. But you are right, if you try to cut all that stuff out, life is too boring and mundane to simply cook and clean all day, every day. The trick is balance. I am still working on that.
keep working on that bread--you'll get it right. i have a less-than-stellar batch once in a while, but we still eat it! and don't feel too guilty--it's whole wheat!
