Is there too much on my plate?

Is there too much on my plate?
One can never have enough olives right?
I've been on this journey this year to try and simplify and de-clutter and focus on the things I love the most, but I wonder if perhaps I have tried to put too much on my plate and that it is contributing to my lack of motivation.

I saw the title to this post  at the blog, Life as a Mom, and it asked me, "Are You Putting Too Much on Your Plate?" and it made me stop and ask myself, "Am I? I don't know.  Maybe I am."

I do have a lot of activities.  I am a full-time student and part-time Math tutor.  I have a garden and alot of other interests.  I am going to be in my first art show soon.  And, I never seem to have enough time to pursue them all.  So, perhaps I need to think about a new plan, and focus on fewer things.

But... But... Yeah, it's not going to be pretty.

Some random thoughts before my weekend adventures.  This weekend, I'm off to a workshop on edible foods of the Mojave Desert.  I'll for sure have some pictures and fun stories to tell.

Hope you are all enjoying some little bits of Spring wherever you are; even if it is just the dream of warmer weather.

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
