What is beyond exhausted? Comatose?
I've wanted to blog for the last few days but just couldn't...I couldn't bring myself to do much of anything (except for couponing which I have to share with you guys at some point).
My house is a disaster, though that's hardly a new thing. I did do one load of laundry last night. Woohoo! Progress.
What I want to do is sit down at my jewelry desk and pump out some new creations - I have several ideas in my pea brain but every time I get home all I want to do is eat ice cream and sleep. I think I'm single-handedly (how do you spell that?) keeping Dove Ice Cream in business. It's seriously the B E S T freaking ice cream evAR.
Oh, speaking of coupons...did you know that if you e-mail some companies they will send you coupons? I wasn't expecting too much but I thought I'd shoot a couple of notes to some of my favorite product creators - including Kashi, Bush's Baked Beans, Dove Ice Cream, and a few others.
How freaking excited was I when I got an envelope from Kashi with four coupons for FREE cereal!!!!!! Oh my goodness. Hubby thinks I'm a nutter but I seriously hopped up and down. I meant every sappy word I wrote to them about how much we love their cereal.
Hubby used to eat sugary crap cereal but about a year ago decided to try a little harder to eat better. He loves their Strawberry Fields cereal and even eats it for dessert on some nights. And I love their Almonds and Flax Seed cereal, which I eat with yogurt.
Bush's Beans also sent me 4 coupons for $ off cans of beans, which we also love. I haven't heard from any other company (other than the standard e-mail reply) but I have my finger's crossed for Dove coupons. :)
It's awesome when companies appreciate their customers. And I totally appreciate mine!!! :) Even though I've been very quiet about my jewelry business (no newsletters in 3 months! EEK!) I still think about folks and wonder how they are enjoying their jewelry.
One of these days I'll get my newsletter out...really...I promise. =)
Musings from a jewelry designer addicted to TV, politics, and the internet. A Mom. A Wife. A Daughter. A Sister. An Aflac Agent. Life is never dull.

It's not just you with the loss of the crafting/jewelry making mojo...I just wrote about this same thing. Maybe it's summer and the hot weather or something, ya think?
I hear what you are saying. I sat down the other day with my new 50 feet of chain and tried to make some jewelry.... I sat there for two hours and got nothing accomplished. And I've only done 2 loads of laundry this week.
You sound exactly like me. I love nothing more than to lay in bed, pop a movie in and eat ice-cream. But my ice-cream of choice is Breyer's Fried Ice-Cream. :)
I think many of us are exhausted and taking a break this Summer. I had a vacation and still don't feel refreshed. I saw some of the new stuff and it's great. You just reminded me that I need to work on my Fall newsletter....
