Revision



So much for the daily/ weekly postings. Ha.


Revision literally means to "see again," to look at something from a fresh, critical perspective. It is an ongoing process of reconsidering, reviewing, refining, reorganizing, and reviving. With that in mind I'm going to make revisions to my plans.



We moved into the new apartment easily enough but getting internet took almost 3 weeks (long story short: I will never recommend AT&T to anyone). So really, it's not my fault that I wasn't sticking to my goals, well, maybe it was... but only a little bit.


I haven't been working out daily like I planned, but I have started going outside for walks when I get the urge. It's been 1-2 times a week and round-trip about 1.5mi; at least I'm doing a little cardio. We were doing really horribly on the eating healthy idea for the week before and the week after the move: fast food almost every night , pizzas, lots of soda, candy, you get the idea. I'm down to about one soda a day, usually with dinner when Drew is grabbing the drinks and I can't decide what I want. And I know, I know, I know how environmentally douche-bag-y it is to buy plastic bottles but it's the only way I've been able to encourage myself to drink more water. Not having to deal with using a filter and  getting a class or a lidded cup for the car seems to make a big difference to me; bottles make water more accessible.


I haven't even looked at anything for school since my last update... no bueno.


My Art! Yes, I have been working towards the goals I had set for my art. I feel like I'm both behind in the race and ahead of the game. I will be missing my deadline of March 6th and I don't have nearly as many pieces in progress as I had intended to at this point, but I feel good about my pace. Drew and I went out to several thrift stores last weekend and picked up a couple nice pieces that are waiting their turn to ride the revision wagon (wow, that was corny, haha). I called the paint company and got some tips on waterproofing my work so I can move into items that can be used as dish ware/ soap pumps/ Vases. Everything I've been reading about haveing a successful shop on Etsy recommends having a blog exclusively for your shop to showcase your work and creative process; I made a blog for my shop today and will be using it to post pictures of my process and inspirations.

This post is way longer than intended, but then again so was my hiatus.
