I can't get excited about anything today

I need a jump start. Should have gone to work out with Erika. Instead, I did my usual routine, and drove thru Mickey D's for a sausage egg biscuit and diet coke. At least Evan (DS) is at school today. He refuses to blow his nose, he's all stuffed up from his allergies.

I need to get my oil changed. How boring. I haven't ever gone to one of those Jiffy Lube places. DH says I need to go to Valvoline and get the special oil for old cars. Whatever. Why can't he just take care of it for me? Why do I hate automotive type places? The smell of grease, oil, tires (YUCK!) Definitely a man's world.

Just reread the last paragraph. I'm talking about my car, by the way. Although I could use an oil change or whatever the equivalent is for my brain!

I feel overwhelmed by everything in my life, I can't seem to get anything organized or under control. The house, the store, my health....I need a vacation, a different perspective on my life. I wish I could go back to the cabin retreat we had in Flagstaff (minus the dogs!) Cooler air, relaxed atmosphere, lots of cool gals, and creative energy flowing.

I AM excited about a project some of my friends are working on. I wish I could be more involved in it, I'm not sure how...just continue to mention ideas, inspirations, and maybe a little business advice. And support it like crazy!

Ok, maybe I'll make a plan for today:

1) Oil changed (in car)
2) Duh.......

let's try that again...

2) Work on inventory
3) Stock Bazzill
4) Brainstorm new customer rewards program
5) Scrappin' Sisters blog...this I can get excited about! I want to post every day what products have come in, what's going on....I think there are some customers out there who would really enjoy it! I can put a link on the web site!

Ok, now I have a plan. Now I just need to implement it. Oh yeah, and add

0) Shower and get ready!

If you made it through this very boring entry, thank you for sticking with me. :)
