Newbie Alert

Greetings all!

I am new to this and am not sure what to write today as I sit in my pajamas over my first coffee an hour earlier than usual...daylight savings time bye bye, hello winter.  I am even more sure it is winter because my mom has put up Christmas decorations already and I groggily ended up with the snowman mug for my coffee.

Yesterday was shopping day....and did I shop...I would probably be better to call this a shopping rehab group but I actually would like to write about my life, crafts, trying to start my own business and anything else that I create on a whim.  I have a lot of interests and they range from travel to beading jewelry to card making and scrap booking, and a little writing.  Unfortunately I also have a very busy life and find little time to pursue any of these infinitely enjoyable pastimes.  Perhaps with your help I can make a change and create time to succeed at my hobbies and pursuits.

I will call this my first post in a journey of time and craft and see what happens later today or tomorrow...maybe next week....we will see what time I can devote to keeping this journal.

In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
