As you can tell, I've been really focused on being creative and crafty. But really you have no idea how many ideas come to me in a day that I would love to do. Most ideas are inspired by my blog reading. There are so many amazing, creative people out there who actually make their idea a reality. That's my problem. Implementing my ideas and sticking with them. I think and think about all these things I want to do and run over details, but then nothing ever gets done.
Almost every year I think up gifts to make for people for Christmas that would take time and good thing I'm thinking of this early. I can totally get it done and before I know it, it's December and I've done nothing. I've wanted to make a halloween costume several years in a row, always have to pull something together at the at the last minute or pull out my tried and true graduation robe and use that.
I have this really fun idea that I want to do for my birthday, but I'm mulling over if it could actually be done. Would people really want to do that? What are the logistics? Is it really stupid? Would it be as fun as I play it out in my head?
I want to host more parties of various sorts. Maybe more that aren't centered around a tv show, which I love to do. It's so easy. But Loralee gave me the idea of a craft night. What about a cooking night, where instead of me doing all the cooking we all cook together? A lot of things I think aren't really feasible unless I had my own place. Or if I lived with someone who wanted to cohost things with me. That would be great.
I think I will try to figure out what I really want to do over the summer and when the weather gets colder and people stay indoors more then perhaps I'll really bring one of these ideas to life.
This is all coming about because I'm getting frustrated with myself, that I'm not being the person that I want to be. And it's all out of laziness. I may run some ideas past you sometime, to get some input.

A cooking party sounds really fun. Would you have a planned menu and everyone just help with chopping, slicing, dicing, cooking, etc. or would you have everyone pick something to make and bring all the ingredients?
A craft night would be fun, too. I remember when some of us used to get together and scrapbook in our family room. Good times. That's one draw back to digital scrapping.
I love to entertain, but my old body is not so cooperative any more. It seems like it takes more effort to get everything together - the house needs to look nice, the yard if it's a bbq, there's grocery shopping, food preparation, etc. Even when it's not perfect, though, it's usually always fun. Hopefully, I'll feel better about having people over when the upstairs is not in this unfinished state.
