Seriously, why am I not like that? I am very crafty too, but I haven't done anything in like 7 years. When we first got the house, we did a decent amount of decorating in the public areas (thank goodness Jon’s dad is an artist), but the other rooms I haven't done anything for. Seriously, there is nothing on the walls in my bedroom. Just a treadmill that is collecting dust since I got back from Vegas.......

I get home around 6-6:30 and play catch with Jon, walk the dogs, clean up around the house, feed the dogs, decide where to eat (because I haven't had the energy to cook and Jon's so picky), go eat, come home and it's almost 10. At this point I want to exercise, but I just ate and Jon wants to watch a movie, so we watch a movie and I put the dogs to bed. Now it's 12-12:30 and I know that I need to get to bed asap (realistically I’ll fall asleep around 1ish) so I can get up when Jon wakes me up (he needs a LOT less sleep than I do) since he's already been up for an hour and think I'm a lazy-butt. Oi vey.

I need like 4 more hours in a day to do the things I actually WANT to do, like: read, do more illustrations for my mom's book, make some jewelry, take a dance class, visit friends I've been neglecting, paint something...so many things. Doing these things I think would totally energize me. I’m an only child, I love doing stuff on my own and I have so much creativity pent up.

How do other people find the time for this? Maybe I need to cut something out of my night to make time! The only thing I can think of is the movie and that’s one of the main things Jon and I like to do together since he’s not into arts/crafts, exercise, or reading. I’ll have to think on this.
