I have so many thoughts and ideas floating around in my head at the moment and I am not doing any thing about hardly any of them and it is driving me nutso. Does anyone else have this tendency? I only want to do things I can instantly succeed in...so if I am even the teensiest bit unsure I just put it off.
So I am making an incredibly cheesy public pledge to begin the following...
Start grinding grain with my brand new-bought from the US at great cost-hand-grainmill, which I have had for two months and have inexplicibly not used yet.
Actually make public and start listing creations on my Patootie design blog...and not worry about narcissism, no sales and people thinking my creations are seriously uncool.
Start saving towards our trip to the US in five years time to see the cuzzies rather than not bother because of the whole Peak Oil issue...even if we don't make it there, we will have useful $$$$ in the bank anyway. This is directly related to Patootie Designs.
Take the plunge and get out my togs, goggles and cap and venture down to the local pool. I love swimming but I am procrastinating cos...welll I am 6kg heavier than I was last time I donned the one piece for 40 lengths, and what if the pool etiquette is different in small towns?
Get a haircut, start wearing my sparklies and danglies, refashion some funkier outfits and put on some lippy even when I am at home with the kids (read:every day!) I am getting the hair cut off, short and sassy tomorrow, my MIl bought me some new t's today and I have got lots of sparklies from my lovely friend Jess. Yeeha...I am well on the way to this one already...now to brush off the lippy that has been sitting in the bottom of the make-up bag forlornly for ages.
Visit my local MP and the local council and ask what they are doing to help Matamata become less oil reliant.
I also really want to be more generous and sacrifical with my time and resources to help those in need in our community and the world, but I am still unsure of the way this will work...so this is still in the formulating stage in my mind.
Now that I have put this out there my perfectionist nature will be slightly outweighed by my need to live up to what I say I will do...so even if nobody else reads this I will be aware that somebody might and then I will be bound to fulfill my vows.
Sigh...another time when I wish for an uncomplicated brain.

The Matamata Pools are fantastic for swimming during the day because no one is there. No one. Honestly. :O)
Goodluck with all the rest of it.
Dude! You have to use your grain mill. Have you bought the grainy bits for it yet? I'll be checkin' up on you;-)

I'm always to scared to stick it out there just incase somebody asks me 'how's your list going?' I know that's exactly why we do it.......once you've spoken (or written) it out, it's more..what's the word.....Motivating.
Good on you!!
