start today

Today is day one. 

I am excited, but nervous.

Actually, I am excited about the job, nervous about the commute. It is a 10.9 mile commute that very well may take me at least 30 minutes each way. It is not a deal breaker, just something I need to get use to. Driving in traffic is just something I am not use to. Driving in downtown city traffic. Driving at rush hour. Driving with all these crazy Texas drivers. Doing that merge from the left, but need to get into the far right lane .3 miles later. 

But if I survive the drive, I feel this could be the start of something wonderful. & even if it is not, at least it can be a placeholder until something wonderful comes along. 


reveal a little secret

Lots of things have been happening lately. Well, to be honest, a lot of things have been happening since pretty much October 2011. Can you believe that was 4 months ago?! Yeah, me either.

Anyways, I have made a decision. I need 2 blogs. It sounds a bit insane, but let me explain. (bahaha I almost feel like a rapper)

I want a blog where I can post about my life, about things that are happening in it, things I think about & how I feel. I want a space where I can spill the mushy gushies & not feel like 90% of the people reading it are bored out of their minds.

At the same time, I want a blog where I can post the crafts/projects/adventures I am working on. I am not ready to commit to a full blown Etsy shop. I looked into it. But I really do not think I am at the point where I am ready to be charged to post my  items & then charged again when I make a sale. Heck, I do not even think I have a big enough group of followers to actually sell more than 1-2 items anyways. It would not be worth it at this point to do something like that. In saying that, if you want to buy my stuff, just tell me. I will gladly give it to you & take some of your money. Which leads me to this:

A Thread of Crazy

Meet my new blog. I came up with her name when I was re-vamping a bit of my “me” section on this blog. I was writing about Ben & I said (yes I am going to quote myself), “In fact, our whole relationship has a thread of crazy running through it, but I would not trade it for the world.” I started really to think about that. Ben & I have been through a lot. But it is more than that. I, me, & myself have been through a lot. Most of it is good, but dang there have been a whole lot of absolutely crazy things that have happened to me that I would never in a million years have actually expected would happen to me. It is all that stuff I tell people & they do not believe me or doubt if it really happened. As normal as most of my life is, there IS a thread of crazy that runs through everything I do. & thus “A Thread of Crazy” was born.

Right now, that is going to be where I post all my crafts & projects. It just seems to fit well with the whole thread thing & my recent obsession with the sewing machine. “Think I Might….” still feels like the right place to vent/gush/talk about the more “me” part of things. Eventually I could absolutely see “A Thread of Crazy” becoming my one & only blog (& just separating the 2 parts). But as for right now, I am going to try to do the 2 blogs thing.

I hate to say it, but I already love “A Thread of Crazy” more than I ever loved “Think I Might….” so it is entirely possibly it gets the boot sooner rather than later, but we shall see.
