enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

May

April flew.

Like literally. I just watched my to-do list fold itself into a paper airplane and fly out the window.

Aside from a few days of feeling terrible, it was a great month. Good for the blog, that's for sure. But the shop needs some work. Maybe new products? Maybe a sale? Maybe a new lease on life? But my focus was really on the blog workshop and the craft fair this month and injecting the shop with adrenaline slipped.

I ran a lot. 53 miles. Training-wise, that was probably not enough, but still a lot. The furthest I have gone at one time is six miles. Which is GREAT if you're the Elise from two months ago, but NOT GREAT if you're the Elise that is training to run a half marathon in five weeks. Lots of work to be done there, that's for sure.

The apartment is a brand new person. An extreme home makeover has taken place in my living room. I am so excited about it. Even better, if you don't count what I spent with gift cards, I came in almost under budget. Almost. Close enough to call it. A few more pieces need to fall into place and it's "done."

FOR MAY :

Complete the living room transformation (& obviously blog it).

Release some new and exciting – yet to be determined – shop items.

Have a successful craft fair (& obviously blog about it).

Run 75 miles.

YIKES. Better get rolling.

    10 miles is the magic number. If you can get to 10, you’ll do fine at 13.1. Good luck!

    can i ask questions for potential blog posts still?
    5 years ago, is this where you imagined you’d be? is this the life you thought you’d have?? 🙂
