Lesson # 27: I haven't. . .

Lesson from Day 27:
There is too much to do.

It's difficult for me to get in a back-to-school routine. I'm starting the fourth full week and still really working on finding a way to get everything done. Tonight, I have a huge list of "haven't"s.

I haven't scrapbooked for weeks.
See photo above. That is the table that I'm supposed to use to make things. It's covered with bills and left-over work stuff.

I haven't stayed caught up with my photography class.
I'm feeling really guilty about this. I won a spot in Maggie Holmes's fabulous photography class. I print the lessons every week and read them. I just haven't taken any pictures or posted anything. I'm embarrassed about this one. I really want to learn and feel terrible for not using such a generous gift.

I haven't been making good choices about food or exercise.
I never make good choices about exercise, but I am capable of making good choices about food. Tonight, I had pasta, wine, and a Blizzard for dinner. Then, I wonder why I can't fit into any of my pants.


I haven't mailed Em's birthday gift yet.
I'm a slacker friend.

I haven't been reading as much as I should.
I haven't gotten any professional reading done since August. I haven't been reading much for fun, either. I did listen to the first half of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks over the weekend, though. It's super interesting.

I have been very irresponsible with money.
I blame the stress and the eating. Spending makes me feel better. Eating makes me feel better. Eating means I need clothes that fit which means I need to shop which means I need to spend. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm way behind on my Netflix.
I have had the same three disks at my house since mid-August: two disks of Psych and Avatar. I have no desire to watch any of them.

Make me feel better. What are some of your, "I haven't. . . "s?
