Later This Year…

       I don't know how I can go for weeks without even considering writing a post to all of a sudden I have things to say every few days. Maybe my recent posts are just not that interesting and I should cut back again, I have no idea. I do know that I updated my doll book this weekend for the first time since January. I have been a bit of a slacker. So with the last dolls I made, the hoodie dolls I finished this past week, I have made 1,754 dolls since I started making dolls way back in November of 2006. I have been making dolls for a long time. I have changed the way I do things, gotten A LOT of practice, tried new things, worked through the ugly stage so many times and later this year I will reach another milestone. 1800 dolls. I definitely don't have time to do that before Breyerfest, since that would be 6 or 7 dolls every week until then, but I can make 46 more dolls this year. And I am sure that I will. It's only May after all. Though May seems to be going somewhere in a hurry. Somehow it's already May 19th!

     This weekend was pretty good. Yesterday I was possessed by the cleaning bug (after I did a very real workout) and I cleaned my whole house, which already didn't look like it needed cleaning, but I did it anyway. I also did 4 loads of laundry, which I think is a record. I normally do maybe 2 at the most in a day. But like I said, I was possessed so I just kept going. Which also means I don't have any other laundry to do for at least a week. Which is excellent. I finished a book, started another, and hung out with Brandi. It was a really excellent Saturday. I also had just enough very even soreness in my back to tell me I have designed a workout that hits every one of the muscles. Perfect, that was what I was aiming for. I have a vague full body soreness that tells me I am doing all the right things but it is vague enough that I know I am not doing too much. I really want to get back into weight lifting. But that is even slower to get into than running. But I actually love lifting weights so I will keep, carefully, working at it. 

  

     Today was a nice day as well. I updated my doll book, read some more and then I went to visit with a friend I have not seen in a while. It was a really good day. Tomorrow I have to go back to work, but we only have 19 days of school left this year. I am not sure what dolls I will be making this week, but I will figure it out. Maybe I will make some more hoodie dolls. Maybe I will start in on some western pleasure dolls. Maybe I will start on dolls to show in the Art of the Horse show in July. That could be fun!
