Out to sea

Please pardon my lack of posts in the past few weeks but I'm starting 2011 off a bit slower than usual. I feel as if I'm drifting right now and I like it, so I'll be out here floating just awhile longer. ☻

In order to proceed after a jam~packed year I typically need to reflect on the past and finish the chapter before I can really move forward. In other words, I'm procrastinating and lingering in the present state before I commit to any goals or plans for the current year.

For now I'm taking life day by day and not stressing about the little things {laundry is piling up, my half empty rooms remain half empty, my plaster table project patiently awaits, and I'm OK with all of it}.

I have ice skating lessons, softball practice and play dates with 1st graders on the brain~
I'm reminiscing about the good times with close friends and trying to be the best friend I can to those who need me~

I've been putting a lot of time and energy into this big run which takes place in just 2 weeks! I had an incredible 12 mile run last Saturday and feel like I've had a major breakthrough with my running {it's taken a whopping 13 months for this breakthrough so perserverance is key I guess}.
I've spent time pondering how on earth gray hair can creep through my artificially colored hair so quickly that I'm forced to dabble in an over the counter root cover up plan to get me through the next 2 weeks~ ugh!

*Update~ I used this last night and it was easy and worked wonders- yippee*

I'm fighting the urge to wear some of my sequin pieces post-holiday season~

I'm trying to get my head around the Black Swan. It's one of those movies that has really stuck with me~

I'm wondering what adventures await my family in the coming year~

And what changes await my home~

So, while I'm riding the waves and moving with the currents of a changing year, I'm still physically here and am keeping up on the happenings in your worlds.

I've been drooling over Holly's dining room and desk area:
Tracey's French peat pots turned chandy decor have me inspired:

Mel's chippy white planters with fresh greens give me a new perspective:
Jen's DIY rosemary topiary tutorial has me almost ready to jump in feet first {that is, until she said it would take 2-3 years for these suckers to grow, hee hee!}:

And finally, Becky's cabbage table centerpiece sparks the creative fires within: While you carry on with your goals and projects I'll be happily lurking out there in blogland, still soaking up the final waves of inspirational nourishment. ♥

Until tomorrow~

xoxo,
