MAGIC : the stripes are gone. I don't want to admit how many coats it took. But I knew I could stop when I could no longer see where to paint. For the record - totally, totally worth the hassle to have them for seven months.

MAGIC : USC won a huge football game this weekend. That would have been rad on it's own, but even better - the game was on espn3.com. We don't have regular TV/cable so I watch everything online and rarely do they play our games. I was so happy to be able to see the whole thing. I was even happier to get slightly delirious phone calls from my dad and friends immediately after the win.

MAGIC : talked to Paul for over an hour and a half Saturday night (Sunday morning for him). That has never happened - not just because he's deployed, but because I hate the phone.

MAGIC : celebrated happy hour with an old friend on Friday night. We always connect so very well.

MAGIC : met a new friend on Saturday morning!

MAGIC : this was my last weekend in San Diego. I will be in Sacramento all week and then it's pack up and ship out! I am so excited for the new place. Like my freshly painted walls, it feels like a clean slate.

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.
