I want to try making my own fingerpaint sometime.

Coffee air freshener?

This is pretty.

Distraction? GONNA KICK YO BUTT!

This facebook addiction is ridiculous. And whenever I'm compelled to check facebook (you know, about every fifteen and a half seconds), I have to check Twitter and my blog feed. Just in case. Sort of like when I check a locked door or oven fifty times because I can't remember if I really turned that key or knob. Except with facebook, there's no excuse. Just that same compulsion.

So, along with quitting smoking I'm going to quit my Facebook, blog (not blogging, just checking the feed), and Twitter addiction. Not that it's like smoking, but it'll still be hard. I'm going to limit myself to twice a day: once in the morning when I wake up and once in the evening before I got to sleep. Fifteen minutes each time. Which means I need to replace my homepage tabs with other things. Maybe CNN? Maybe eliminate home page tabs altogether so I stop getting so distracted on the internet? I'm not sure.

If I'm good and follow my plan (which includes weekends), I'll get a star. I still haven't made that star chart, but I'm totally going to. Maybe today. I'm excited.

Things I want to make (when I have ingredients/time)

Decorations/Aesthetics

•  A toothbrush bracelet. It would have to be for someone else, like Kaity, because I can't handle wearing bracelets. I think it's awesome though and would love making one.
• On learning about making wooden pendants, I learned that a couple coats of VERY strong coffee works as natural stain. 
• Paper beads. I'm so excited! I have a giant bag full of paper I've been needing to shred and recycle, but this is a much better (and fun) alternative.
• A delicious smelling clove necklace.
• Doodle pendants! They are made from #6 plastic. I wonder if "recycling" it for pendants is worse than actually recycling them.
• Although this is for greeting cards, I would recycle old audio tapes by applying to a canvas on my wall.

 Household/School

• The bucket lamp, although I would want to paint (with some sort of sheer silver or gold/tan) designs on the bucket first.
• Plastic paper clips from recycled cards.
•  Adjusted liquid soap dispenser to lessen waste.
• Useful things like deodorant and shampoo. Woot. 
• Yoga mat from an old sweater.

Edible

• Grow my own wheatgrass and Chinese cabbages (in PVC piping) indoors.
• Almond milk.

I should get off Instructables.com and the internet. Maybe I'll borrow Kaity's hula hoop and try to create rings around my body. That sounds like fun.

WWOOF

Over a holiday break (I don't remember if it was Thanksgiving or Christmas), I was started thinking about what I want to do this summer if I can't go to Europe. Which, because of money, I probably won't. I'm really interested in community living, and started looking at communes (not the creepy cult ones) and the like. I have a list saved as an unpublished blog post somewhere, but none of them seemed to fit exactly what I was looking for.

Today, Sierra told me about WWOOFing.
