Where to start?

Marcia François, a terrific organizing coach (and sweet person as well!) posted today about where to start when you feel overwhelmed. I totally agree with her answer:

I say start with the room that bothers you the most.

That's always how I decide where to start when I'm in that position. The natural tendency would be to start with the easiest thing, but the most effective is to start small but on something that makes you nuts.

I guess that's why I usually start with my bedroom, even if the rest of the house is in a worst state. My bedroom is my nest, it should be peaceful and protective and not create more stress. I don't really care if I have to wait one (or several) day(s) to see my kitchen counter surface again, as long as I can get to sleep and feel comfortable there. Actually, having this bubble of serenity in my messy house is like breathing, it makes me feel ready to "attack" the rest of the house. It's different for each person, but you always have to "scratch where it itches"!

Have a look at Marcia's blog and website, they are both full of terrific tips!!

A (light) to do list for the weekend

Okay, I know I've just written that I wanted to take it easy this weekend, but I still have some things to do. Luckily I got rid of some important stuff on the beginning of the week, so that's things I won't have to worry about. The other "important" items will get done this week, and the rest can wait.

Here's what I want to do over these two days:
  • menu planning and grocery shopping (incl. putting away everything) DONE!
  • put away dry laundry (incl. the ironed clothes) DONE! and wash 2 loads of laundry DONE!
  • clean microwave
  • unload dishwasher DONE!
  • select the pix that I will take to the crop next week in progress
  • 15 minutes on e-mails + normal maintenance DONE!
  • 15 minutes on zips + normal maintenance DONE!
  • 15 minutes on RSS + normal maintenance DONE!
  • 15 minutes on PPW (other than health-related)
  • 15 minutes on health PPW
  • pick up the top of the dresser in bedroom DONE!
  • relax, create, have fun, sleep! (that's my fave part, I'm 99.9% sure I won't procrastinate that one! LOL)
Eeeeek, I almost forgot: finish secret project and send it to Lydie for review. DONE!

Okay, that was a crappy week!

I got sick on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, got back to work on Thursday and felt bad again on Friday. My head was spinning for 2 hours and then I felt soooooo weak... awful. I felt like being drunk and tired after a party, without the pary! Definitely not fun! Anyway, that week is over and hopefully I'm done with the sickies for a couple months, I've had enough!! I will take it easy this weekend but I hope I'll be back on track full force next week.

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Here's what I planned for the week, and here's all the tasks that I didn't do on planned day:
Monday:
  • call for clothes that don't fit DONE on Tuesday or Wednesday
Tuesday:
  • 15 minutes on PPW
  • laundry: put away dry laundry, wash 1 load and hang it up
Wednesday:
  • 15 minutes filing
  • clean microwave
And finally, here's what I planned for today (thursday)
  • 15 minutes indoor bike before work Still sick, I chose to sleep a bit longer instead!
  • POTD DONE!
  • BPOTD DONE!
  • work DONE!
  • clean oven
Sooooo, let's recap what I still have to do tomorrow... errrr, no, this weekend:
  • 15 minutes on PPW
  • laundry: put away dry laundry, wash 1 load and hang it up
  • 15 minutes filing
  • clean microwave
  • clean oven
Yuck, the bug really screwed my planning for this week! And since we have to take care of DBF's uncle tomorrow (MIL is gone for to day, so we gotta do it instead of her, make sure he takes his meds, have lunch with him, etc.) this won't help me get back on track. Oh, and we plan on going out tomorrow night... Well, hopefully my weekend will be productive so that I can catch up!

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

My lazy wednesday...

Still sick today, got the doc visiting me this morning: it's nothing serious, just something bad that I ate. I'm feeling better each hour, and hopefully I'll be back to my normal self tomorrow! I took lots of naps but I'm still wanting to get a good night sleep before going back to work, so off I go! 'night!!

Yummy!

Two friends and their 2 years old daughter will come tonight for a board game party. They bring the games and the cute little girl, and I bring the food! LOL I want this to be really casual and relaxed, so I'll only make finger foods: ham/pastry rolls, shrimp butter blinis, stuffed mushrooms (with various sorts of cheese), olives, chips, salami, and as dessert we'll eat "kings' pie". It's a pastry pie with almond paste in the center, and it's eaten around January 6th, to celebrate the kings coming to see Jesus, following the star. There's a little charm hidden in it and the person who gets the charm is declared king or queen for the day. I'll try to take a pic tonight, it'll be clearer than my explanations! LOL As you guess, I'm really looking forward!

I met the sweetest old lady

I work for our town, and I'm in charge of all the public and press relation. One part of my job is to write articles that we send to the newspapers, especially about the "great birthdays", as we call them... In proper english, when people celebrate a really old birthday. ;) Anyway, this part of my job is pretty cool, even though the old people I meet are basically all the same and don't have had extravagant lives. Except today: I met a cute little old lady who celebrated her 90th birthday at the end of December.

When she was 15 she moved to Paris and was there when the town was liberated during WWII. Then she went to New York as a nanny for a french family and met an American guy there. She married him, lived in New York for 35 years, then in Pittsburgh for 20 years after they retired. When he passed away, she came back in France to be closer to her family, brother, niece and nephews. She was just the cutest because she was talking really fast (and a lot! LOL), mixing french and english, with a great sense of humour, smart and sweet... I don't know how to express how I felt, but she was like sparkling, like a little firework, joyful and bright. I really loved meeting her!

Friday check up... how am I doing?

My weekly plan is here. Let's see how I'm doing today:
  • POTD DONE!
  • BPOTD DONE!
  • work DONE!
  • evening doc appt we won't go, DBF is sick!
  • plan weekend to do DONE!
  • go to watch Avatar in 3D we won't go, DBF is sick!

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Thursday's check up... how am I doing?

Here's my weekly plan, and that's my to do for today:
  • POTD DONE!
  • BPOTD DONE!
  • AM doc appt DONE!
  • work PM DONE!
  • 2x15 minutes on downstairs' fridge
  • buy bread for dinner DONE!
Plus what's left from yesterday's list:
  • 2x15 minutes on laundry room
  • 15 minutes on filing
Well, I think I'll postpone all the chores on this weekend since we have another doc appt tomorrow. Tonight I built the new indoor bike we got. Now I'm ready to get back to working out! Woohoooooo!

Doc appt

So, we just came back from our doc appt. We're TTC since August 2008 and we've discover we both have issues. Long story short, we won't have babies naturally (except for a miracle), so we've started a medical procedure. It was long (about 6 months), sometimes painful, stressful, nerveracking, but it's coming to an end, and a fairly happy end! Today was our last appointement before we start our first AI cycle. No, not "artificial intelligence"... "Artificial insemination"!! LOL We met the biologist that explained us once again what will happen exactly, we got the chance to ask the 132'654'795'198'474 questions we had (especially me!) and we set up a date to start the procedure!

At first we wanted to start in February, but this first cycle of procedure would happen exactly when I have a HUGE professional even to organize. Considering that stress and TTC don't work well together, the doc told us that it was better to postpone. We've been waiting for almost 2 years, we can wait 1 month more, can't we? So, we decided to start the first cycle in March. I cannot wait, as you can imagine!

Why I feel lucky

On Monday I got back to work. I was feeling really happy, optimistic, energize, enthusiastic. I know, it might be weird for a first day of work after Christmas break, but I just was. Everyone was surprised to see me in such a good mood, even though I'm not the grumpy kind usually, and I explained to them that I feel lucky: I have a family, a boyfriend and wonderful friends that I love dearly, I have a house that I can make into a home, I have a job that I don't hate too much most days, I'm fairly healthy... Why on earth would I be grumpy?? It was fun to see how telling all that made people happier and smiling more, though!!

Okay, that was my moment of zen, you can now go back to your normal life! LOL

Wednesday check up... how am I doing?

Here's my weekly plan, and that's my to do for today:
  • 15 minutes on health PPW (from yesterday's list) DONE!
  • 15 minutes on laundry room (from yesterday's list)
  • POTD DONE!
  • BPOTD DONE!
  • work DONE!
  • buy bread for dinner Oooops, I forgot! Nevermind, I'll make another dinner instead!
  • 15 minutes on laundry room
  • 15 minutes on filing

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Tuesday check up... how am I doing?

Here's my weekly plan, and that's my to do for today:
  • POTD DONE!
  • BPOTD (blog post of the day) Hehehe, at least I got one with this one! LOL
  • work DONE!
  • 15 minutes on health PPW
  • 15 minutes on laundry room
After all, today was a not-much-done day. I met a friend when I got out of work and we decided to have a drink and impromptu chat. Our personal new year celebration! LOL I had a great time catching up on our lives, playing with her a-do-ra-ble daughter and enjoying our time together. It's good to have a plan and a to do list, but sometimes you have to remember to live too! Anyway, I'm glad I didn't manage to do all I had planned for a good cause. I still got one load of laundry done, so that's good too, and I still have many "serious" days coming to make all the not-so-fun stuff!

Hope you enjoyed your day too!!

Got the cutest love note EVAH!!!


This is what I saw when I got out of the house this morning... "Love U - smooches" written in the snow. Awwwwwww!

I was running late but I HAD to go back and take a quick pic! Hey, I'm a scrapbooker after all! LOL

Monday check up... how am I doing?

My weekly plan is here. Let's see how I'm doing today:
  • POTD (picture of the day) Done!
  • back to work Done!
  • go to doctor's office to pick up papers Done!
  • 15 minutes on home office
  • send b'day card to Camille

Project 365

Yep, despite getting about 130 pix out of 365 last year, I'm back at it again this year! Hopefully I'll do better and, more important, enjoy the process! I don't want to take pix because I "have" to, I want to take them because I love to and because I want to remember those moments.

I'm not naive, though, I know there'll be days when I'll fail or be clueless about what pic I could take. That's why I've already bookmarked some useful pages or blog posts, like this one, this one or this one @ SSD. Still need to set up a plan, but I guess I'll get to it when I get stuck, as usual! Who said "procrastinator"?? LOL

My first pix are posted in the slideshow on the right.

This week's plan

New year, new resolutions

As almost everyone, a new year makes me feel hopeful and ready for change. As almost everyone again, my motivation doesn't last very long and (logically) my resolutions sometimes stay wishes and don't get real!

In 2009, I wanted to
  • Thighten my relationship with the ones I love and develop my "internal life" (creativity, personal interests, culture). I will consider this a success: I took care of my loved ones, said "I love you" to many of them for the first time, sent b'day cards and little gifts for b'days as a way to say "I'm thinking of you", I started hybrid crafting and developped new skills.
  • Get to a healthy BMI, that is below 72 kg (158 lbs). Definitely not a success, but thanks to the horrible weight gain, I discovered my medical condition and got "armed" to improve my health in 2010 (new doctor, amongst other things!)
  • Decide where I want my career to move forward and take at least 2 steps in that direction. I'd say a half success: I managed to learn what I DON'T want to do and that's already a big step. I also learned to take my distance and balance my personal and professionnal lives, which is a huge improvement too. Finally, I took one exam that might help me move forward if I passed it!
  • Get educated about finance managing, define a budget, stick to it and adapt it to big changes in my life. Success, even though I didn't define a budget until the end of the year. 2010 will be a test year to practice my new skills! LOL
  • Create order, beauty and peace in my home and be able to maintain neatness without too much effort Half success again: even though my house never was (and never will be) picture perfect, it's getting easier and easier to maintain a liveable space and the right amount of organisation.
Well, after all it's not that bad!! LOL Despite some hard times (especially when we discovered we couldn't have babies on our own... tough moment!), 2009 was a good year and I'm really looking forward to 2010.

The word/theme I picked for 2010 is PEACE, and here are my "resolutions":
  • Personnal: grow, wise, serenity
  • Health: feel good, feel comfortable and at peace with my body, feel healthy
  • Job: peaceful relationships, distance (it's just a job!!), evolve and grow.
  • Money: manage it better so that I feel "secure"
  • Organisation: have a home, not just a house, and create a peaceful nest for our family
As every professional organizer will explain, resolutions that are just wishes will never become reality, that's why it's much useful to turn them into goals, which should always me SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant (to my larger goals) and Time-framed.

I will hence create monthly goals (or plans) to achieve those resolutions, and hopefully create the peace I'm craving for.

Here are my goals for January:

Credits: Cherry Snap by Fee Jardine, torn paper template by Steph Krush, stamped alphas by Valerie Fowler (peace) and by Michelle Coleman (various categories of goals), fonts are CK Kimono and Century Gothic.

I'll post regularly to let you know how I'm doing!

What are your resolutions/goals/theme for 2010?

Avatar, here we come!

I just discovered that our favorite theater has Avatar in 3D! I was certain they didn't have the 3D! Good thing I checked, uh? We were planning on going there tomorrow but I can't stay awake until midnight when I'm working on the next morning, so I'll ask DBF if he wants to see it this afternoon.

ETA: we'll see it Friday evening, since I don't work on Saturday!

Have you seen it? Was it in 3D? Did you like it?

On another note, I just ordered an indoor bike... hopefully we'll finally get healthy this year. That's a first step already!
