Please, Let Me Explain

As is fairly evident, I did not complete ANYTHING on my to-do list. I am SUCH a failure. Please excuse me while I flog myself. Now, please allow me to espouse my excuses as to why. And they are all excuses. I was planning on sitting down yesterday and working on it during football. However, unforeseen circumstances prevented me from being able to focus on that. Sadly, I let some other things interfere with my personal life, and I apologize. So let me give you a rundown of what I am looking at. I want to change the layout of this space. First, I want to create a banner. As I have stated before Photoshop makes me want to break out in hives. I either need to just bite the bullet and figure it out or take a course. Neither of which makes me happy. Once I get the new banner figured out, I want to change the layout. Probably to the basic white and move some stuff around. See…in theory this stuff is simple. But actually sitting down and doing it is a whole other story.

I had actually somewhat started on the knitting post, but realized that I don’t have anything really great worth sharing, at least not compared to some of the other things out there in the innernets. But then again, it doesn’t have to be great. However, the item I am currently working on is the “Scarf from Hell” and I am just trying to get through it. That’s the one I was going to post about. But I just can’t bring myself to do anything else with it…except try and finish it. Other than that I just have a baby blanket for my niece, that I absolutely fell in love with the first time I saw her, that I will probably never get through. It was supposed to be a birthday present…missed that one. Now, it’s supposed to be a Christmas gift. We’ll see. That’s about it. So there is not much to talk about. I could have discussed items I have already done, which is what I was about to do, when I was so rudely distracted with drama, and the fact that I had to take a nap. In all seriousness, I will have to think about how I am going to do this as far as post layouts, etc.

This leads me to the food post. I was going to post a recipe that I was trying for roasted pumpkin seeds. But by the time I thought about taking pictures, I was done. That sort of defeated the purpose. I also need to figure out how I am going to work out the cooking posts. I really like the way The Pioneer Woman Cooks! posts her recipes with the actions shots. But I am not near the photographer she is. So I don’t know if I should try the action shots, or just post a picture of the finished product along with the recipes, or perhaps a combination of both depending on the difficulty of the recipe.

See the craziness that occupies my brain? How do I keep it all in you ask? Oh yeah…lists.
