Creative Bursts

Why is it that I have creative or productive bursts while I'm sitting here at my desk at work totally bored out of my skull? Is it because I can't do those things right now so it's easy to say I WOULD if I COULD? And then when I get home eat a pot of noodles & butter and lay on the couch? Okay, in my defense, I actually haven't had time to do the noodles/couch thing in a long time but you get the idea.

Right now I have a million projects I want to tackle!

*At least 3 baby blankets to knit in the next year (all for very special people, naturally)
*Clean up the Christmas crap that's all over the craft room
*Organize said craft room so I can actually use it
*Tackle some sewing projects in the Amy Butler book
*Get my scrapbooking supplies/pics organized for the upcoming scrapbooking retreat
*Get the stuff in the basement to GoodWill - stat!
*Organize basement & front closet
*Read!

You get the idea!

Instead I'm here. The internet is quiet and I'm bored.

*sigh*

I do the same thing. Funny, how when I have some project I have to do (for work, school, a deadline) I get so many other things done.

I have a massive pile of stuff to bring to Goodwill. It would probably be a real good idea to do it before the first. huh?

Oooh, I am so the same way. I'm sitting at home at the moment, blogging and knitting and thinking about all the things I have to do at work. I know when I get there, I'll be thinking of all the stuff I want to do at home!

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
