Bad Habits seem to appear fully-grown out of nowhere, they really do. For example, today is the first day that I can remember clearly walking Sara to school in the morning since we bought Mephostophilis. For the most part it's been a shrug, let's take the car, we're late anyways. Which isn't exactly true.

Another has been my complete and utter abandonment of my routines. I rather obviously haven't been posting to my journal or photoblog. I just haven't and won't take the time to do it. Not even a stolen 15 minutes when the apartment is quiet. Do I know why I've so gleefully dropped everything? No clue. No excuse either. Which is just kind of sad.

I know I benefit from regular routines and expectations, but I just haven't cared. Ahh well. Here I am now; I'm going to work on it. Walk to school with Sara, come home and write and post. It'll work out.

So! So many things have come up to tempt me by being all sparkly and wonderful and new.

I've been playing Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates for a goodly amount of time. I started at the beginning of April, spent several weeks in a crew being someone else's free labour, debated no renewing when my paid for 3 months were up, and finally dumped the crew and started my own. Since I started my crew, I've been having a great time. It's a mix of multi-player world and puzzles. Some play it really, really seriously. Me? I play it silly.

I've also started sewing again. I bought my sewing machine right after we took possession of Mephostophilis. I don't fit to the patterns anymore, which is insanely frustrating. But at least Miss Sara is a perfect size 10. I went a little nuts on fabric in May, before I knew that I wasn't going to be able to sew for myself. So I have piles of beautiful fabric just waiting to be made into summer wear, and no patterns to sew it into. *shrugs* Maybe I can switch back to wearing more skirts now that I'm not walking everywhere. We'll see.

I've also jumped on this Italian charm bracelet thing. Sara bought a book and a bracelet set through Scholastic and as soon as I got to see it up close, I went out and got a starter bracelet and some cheapy charms. I covet a few ones I found online.

And that's 15 minutes. Now to water my poor plants.
