I think it is pretty amazing how quickly one can fall out of a habit.

I haven't been able to wake up at 5am like I used to do, maybe the time change + this damn cold, and so everything has fallen out of order. No workout. No breakfast. No lunch. Sleep late. Rinse, repeat.
Hmm. Am pondering on that one for a minute.

So what do I need to do to get back on my exercise kick? It doesn't help that the weight is dropping off anyway, since I am not eating. Although, I did, might have, maybe overindulged a tiny bit this weekend. Am not telling!

I thought the horrible lunch I had yesterday will kick me into gear. It certainly made me not want to eat dinner last night, but at the last minute I started starving. BUT I didn't give into gari and sugar. Am too proud of me. I actually ate my baby carrots, which were sweet and refreshing and made a tuna tortilla wrap. LOL. Don't ask. It was all I had in the house. I really need to go food shopping.

Actually, I have some random random that I threw together the other day. Cabbage, chicken, and tomatoes. It was really good. Don't make that face. LOL.  That will be my lunch for today.

So my chair, I saw this divine fabric at Hobby Lobby but by the time all is said and done, I would have to spend $60 for the fabric.It was really really nice though.  I should go visit Joann's Fabric and see what they have, and for how much.

I also finally return my library book to the library. Do not ask. And I did not read that dumb book either. I don't know why, even in the midst of my boredom, I couldn't get past the first page. I don't think I gave that poor book a chance. Anyway, they do have some upholstery books, ironically all at the branches closer to my house so maybe this weekend, I will find the library, pay my fine (scream) and take out the book and start studying this thing.

I also think that I will stain my trunk and make a seat for it. Just don't know what color yet. If I had skills, I want a black top with bright white piping with tufting. Oooh, I found a simple DIY. All I need is a staple gun. But am not going to be able to do piping. Hmm.

I tried to write yesterday. I know there is no such thing as a block and I should write through it, but I couldn't get into the groove. I know what needs to be done to get it done. I just need to do it.

I don't even have a title. I haven't been waking up with a song in my head these days...

Writing Life

Last time I discussed my writing, I was moaning about how overwhelmed I felt about editing. Well, this past week I stopped whining and consulted my expert researcher Ms/Mr Google - s/he is an hermaphrodite- and discovered a nifty book called Self Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King. This book is so on fire that it impacted my writing before I even received it. How do I mean? Well, I read an excerpt of the first chapter online and realized what was wrong with my own first chapter right away. In a word -well several words- I was explaining too much and not letting the characters live. I was giving all kinds of background and history and what not. A whole lot of info that had me saying in my nephew's voice: "who cares?" I guess the avid reader in me knew the problem all along, but the writer in me resisted deleting a single word. I mean those words were agonized over and carefully chosen by committee. I was loathe to let even one of them go. But I ...

Ojo Monday

As I opened  blogger to write a post, the song ojo Monday jumped to my head. I mourned my unbacked up and crashed ibook immediately. I have so much music that I've lost. I haven't heard that song since 200something. I didn't even remember who did it which is a damn shame cos am a Fela stan. Anyway, rushed to Youtube to find it. They didn't have it, but there is a band called Ogun Afrobeat that did a pretty decent cover considering they don't even speak the language. Turned out it's called by its English name: Monday morning in Lagos: Anyway, all that to say it's Ojo Wednesday and I hope I survive. I worked out yesterday with my trainer. My arms are looking nice per him and me. Am still a bit weak though as in, I don't have much stamina for certain exercises. Anyway, time is already fast spent. I have to go for my jog and yet again I didn't edit my playlist. Why do i procrastinate so! PS. Turns out that I do have that song, must have bac...

You really got a hold on me!

Been dreaming all day yesterday and this morning about this: Pottery Barn Mirrored Bedside Table West Elm: Low cutout headboard West Elm: Diamond Tufted Headboard Ok, the original inspiration from the dream is hotter, hardware makes all the difference. My sister, the best negotiator evah!, told me to ask for 20% off. If they agree, then it might come home with me. Rubs hands with glee. But then, I will need to change my headboard asap from this to this: Need to get a move on. Didn't realize Home Depot opened at 6am. Woulda been there since. I've been up since 6am. My natural alarm clock doesn't realize am off on Saturday!  Lots of projects to do today. Finish hanging up my curtains.  Stretch my canvas and hang it.  Fill my Hausa ottomans/poufs. My little art project Tidy up Plan a menu and implement it.  Not so bad in list format. Off we go.
