so far.

One week into twenty ten. So far it's all about blankets. And warm boots. And three cups of hot (decaf) tea a day. We are on a self-imposed wine and cookie detox. I am learning how to pay bills online through BofA. (I know, what took me so long?) I have scheduled 12 of the 17 flights I need to take in the next 5.5 months. I have been taking a photo a day on my iPhone and organizing them with the Project 365 ap. We are completely hooked on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Which might as well be called "The Laugh So Hard You Cry Show." I have realized my unofficial goal for 2010 is to curb my spending. Towards the end of last year, I was buying out of boredom. No more of that. My urge to buy has been replaced with an urge to not go broke. And following that is an urge to minimize the junk we have in this apartment so we are ready to move at the end of March. I predict many many donations to Goodwill in the near future. And many giveaways and fun paper packs for sale on this blog.

So far in 2010, I have found these links to be interesting :

This weekend we are going shopping (again) for wedding bands. We have been twice. This time I don't want to leave unless we've put some money down. It's time to start shortening this wedding to-do list. We are also going to see Avatar. I am anxious to see the magic behind the hype.

How is your 2010 so far?

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
