Random Thoughts for a Gloomy Tuesday

With THGGM on vacation the first week of this year, I seem to have missed out on all of the new beginnings I was hoping to start this year.
So, here it is, in no particular order, what I am hoping to accomplish this year.
Nope.  I've got nothing.
Seventeen days into the year and I finally walked my first 30 minutes.  I did this IN my house and I'm very proud to announce that I did not get side tracked even once.  What I did discover were a few more doggy gag spots to scrub up.  Bleech.
Oh, and I DID choose a word for the year.  Wonder.  I wonder if I'll go anywhere with it.  There is sooo much wonder all around me.  Which brings me to my next wonder-full thought.  I wonder if I'll EVER get things sorted out around here.  2011 was a mind-boggling year.  Someday I may choose to post about it, but then again, I may not.
When I was thinking about 2012 in about November of 2011, one thing I wanted to do was actually complete a bunch of ideas I've had floating around in my head.  Sadly, only a few are still floating, the others must have sunk deep into the uncharted waters of my imagination.
And do you want to know why?  It's all because I discovered Pinterest.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  Pinterest is heaven on earth to an idea person like me.  It's quite the opposite of that for someone who struggles to complete what she start.  Also me.
Another weird problem I contend with is my inability to give away those things that I did actually finish.  Because they NEVER look good enough when that time comes.  Or, they are totally impractical to give to people whom I KNOW are trying to get rid of stuff, not accumulate more.
Not accumulate more.., now THAT would be a good thing for me to latch on to this year.  To NOT accumulate more.  I'm making NO decrees here, as just the thought of not accumulating more stuff for more projects that never get finished - or if they do - never get given makes it kind of hard for me to breathe.
So maybe, just, maybe I'll hold off on buying spools of vintage thread, soft cotton fabric, rubber stamps, small wooden boxes, old game pieces, and other bits, bobs, and what-nots UNTIL I have things all sorted out again  (THGGM, if you are reading this, I'm not SURE I mean it yet.  TWiGGY).
Anyway...
Have I already mentioned that I've cut my caffeine consumption in half?  It did not seem wise to be taking blood pressure and anti-anxiety meds while hyping myself up on caffeine.  So far, I'm managing to stay awake.
Hopefully I'll be getting some more of my finds up on my simplythrift.blogspot.com site.  Because I have NO intentions to stopping being thrifty.  I just don't want to end up "hoardy".
And I have convinced myself to begin selling things on-line.  THGGM has started on Ebay.  I'm thinking Etsy, but I've made no commitment yet.
(good grief.  maybe i should take 2012 to work on my commitment issues!)
Oh, and for the record (because we have established that there IS a record) I am now counting down to Valentine's Day!  And notice that cute little red heart I found at the thrift store Saturday?  It was in a bag of small wooden hearts I bought for making Valentine's.  A perfect fit!
