Order from Chaos


I put my bad mood to productive use yesterday and did something I've been needing to do for a year... Started unpacking my closet. I literally moved in here- threw a bunch of garbage bags filled with clothes, shoes, scarves and purses into a nice little walk in closet and never looked back. For a whole year. I was either either sick, busy with work or tired....it never got dealt with, never a priority. I was fine to wear the same pair of jeans, 3 pairs of holey threadbare jeggings and a handful of rock shirts for a year. A pile on the floor and a little laundry basket was my closet. So lame!
Super fab SPACE MOD two piece- dress and coat I unpacked!

Im totally in appreciate and use what you have mode. And I have a WALK IN CLOSET...its small but mine! So Im doing my darnedest to purge pounds of clothes that don't serve me and make this space functional. Anything that isn't working for me this year- gets fixed or booted. And that will extend to all aspects of my life. Order from chaos. I have control of this. Its also been metaphorically- a thorn in my side. Anytime I had to do something for someone else that I really didn't have time to do...I thought "I haven't even dealt with my OWN life yet but now I gotta go deal with that". Now I can deal with my own life and slide that thinking right off the table. Hopefully by the end of today that closet will be in working order. Then will be the dresser...then hooking up my turntables. I haven't enjoyed my vinyl records for a whole year. Since Im signed here for another year (lease-wise) I guess I can get comfy.
Looking forward to 2019 being a more settled year for everyone and me not wearing clothes from the floor. 😄
I love end of the year clean out. Having space and actually using the things you have are a Christmas present in itself. This all speaks to the fact that I've been putting myself second to everyone and everything in life and that's got to change. Got to get happy so I can put the happy out there. Its recharge and reconnect time.
Celebrating the holidays by purging and releasing instead of consuming and adding more chaos. Wishing everyone a great holiday out there!

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
