Surgery and Random Thoughts

***Join me over at my new blog:  Life a la Mode***


So I'm back.  Kind of.  Surgery sucks.  This was my second sinus surgery...but this time I also had a septoplasty.  BONUS.  ;-).  Ugh, painful.  I'm still in lots of pain.  I don't really have a real post since laying on the couch, sleeping and watching Burn Notice doesn't really amount to a whole lot of interesting DIY.  But I do now have this incredible urge to do some subway art that says, "My Name is Michael Weston.  I used to be a spy."  Wouldn't that be awesome?  Anywhooooo...here's what I'm working on:

-Trying to get the swelling down on my nose.  I'm pretty sure that's why frozen peas were invented.

-I'm in the process of re-doing my psycho, hoarder-esque craft room into a proper office/craft room.  You know, a room that isn't one pile away from an intervention.  Maybe I'll share a before picture.  But I'm pretty sure you'll judge me.  I judge me.

-Trying to get through the hundreds of work emails and catch up on projects that I've missed out on in the 2 weeks I was off of work.

-Oh, I also wear my sunglasses in the office now.  It's not just because my eyes are so sensitive to light these days or because my head pounds with the fists of a thousand monkeys, but it's also cuz, I'm super cool like that.

-I've realized I need a proper vacation, one that doesn't involve medical leave because my nose had to be sliced and diced.

-I'm in constant debate about colors for said craft room.  I'm kind of into kelly green right now and lots of other colors.  Or do I want to go neutral.  Oh, someone just decide for me.

-I'm supposed to be picking fonts and other fun stuff for a blog re-do (and with a migration to Wordpress).  But I lost all my favorite blogs when my hard drive crashed.  :-(.    So I have no inspiration.  It's so hard to find all my old favorite daily blogs.

-Oh, yeah.  My hard drive crashed.  On my 90 day old Macbook.  That did not build confidence.  Thankfully it was under warranty so it was free to fix.  But I lost everything except the wedding pictures I had just done.  THANK GOD.  If I had lost those wedding pictures...can't even think about it.  I did lose all my blog stuff.  But oh well, live and learn.  We now have Time Capsule back up all set up.

-I get to take a fantastic photography class from the super talented Kimberly Jarman.  Wooohooo!  SOOO exciting.

-I'm pretty sure I found my Easter tablecloth.  Initially I was going to use these pretty paisley table runners that I found at HomeGoods but then I came across an awesome tablecloth at Macy's on superdooper clearance.  I know, fascinating stuff.

-OMG did you know there are now Annie Sloan stockists in the Phoenix area?  That is so amazing.  One of them even does workshops.  Of course she's about an hour's drive from my house but who cares?  It's Annie Sloan!!

Ok, I think that's enough randomness for one post.  I'll be back in a couple weeks with some progress on the craft room.  Does it take everyone else FOREVVVAA to re-do a room?
