Because I’m Crazy…

Yup. that’s the conclusion I’ve come to recently.
Absolutely insane. I have less than 100 days until the due date of my first baby (holy crap!) and for some reason, I’ve recently gotten the drive to do a bunch of projects! Things that I need to finish before baby and things that will last all year or longer.

Okay, so are you read for a list?

-Completely clean up my digital life. This includes but is not limited to: sorting through all my bookmarks (an insane amount), cleaning out my google reader of blogs I never have time for and keeping only those I love, getting my inboxes organized (includes deleting the 3 old email addresses I never ever use), unfriend people on facebook who haven’t talked to me ever on there(keep just close friends and family), back up all files onto cds, organize my external hard drive, back up all files onto external hard drive, clean up twitter(follow only awesome people). I think that’s it for this category…
-Project 366. One photo a day all year.
-Photo Friday? I’m iffy about this project now…I can’t decide if I should just share my project 366 each week or take a whole set of photos just for this?
-Secret project. Needs to be worked on at least monthly if not weekly.
-Baby bump weekly photos/update
-Weekly baby photos after baby is born until he turns a month or two and then
-Monthly baby photos
-Pregnancy photo album. Includes writing Dear Baby letters, baby bump pictures and other pictures/updates. (I’m thinking about including pictures/updates from the pregnancy in baby’s 1 year book instead. Any mamas out there with other ideas/tell me what you’ve done.)
-Finding Water by Julia Cameron (complete before baby?!! uh…yes)
-Encourage my fiance write a book (before baby?! yes)
-Blog 3+ times a week…including a better schedule which includes a monthly diy/tutorial (I’m so bad at these but I want to be better), a monthly Personal Truths and Reflections post (these are hard, emotionally and time consuming to write), organizing guest posts and monthly Tips posts(remember my weekly tips? I liked them, but not weekly.)

And my biggest “to-do” which is also going to be a big life change and hard but exciting in so so many ways:

-Like a Bird Empire. Yup. Sounds intense, I know. It’s going to be awesome and I’m excited. If you want to know more, or help me out with getting it started, let me know.

I think that’s it?

Except in addition to all of my creative projects…
We’re moving 500 miles in less than 1 months time, maybe a little less. ha! oh…it gets better. We’re moving without Scott having a job. We’ve been planning to move sometime early this year (before baby) and live with my parents for a while anyway but Scott hasn’t found a new job yet and we’re getting a good amount of money back on our tax refund and just decided to go for it. I have like 20 days to pack up my entire house. I guess a quick move is better than moving when I’m 8+ months pregnant right? The drive will be hell. It’s a 10 hour drive. That’s not including the fact that we’ll have to stop every hour or so because I have to pee, a lot. Oh and we will have 2 very grumpy cats packed into the car with us as well. Fun times. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I know it all sounds like so much to do and like I said, I must be absolutely crazy to take all of this on the year I become a mother for the first time. But ya know what? There’s no better time for me to do it. I’ve been sitting around doing nothing for a year and a half, hoping and trying to figure out what I want with my life. And this pregnancy has kind of kicked my butt and drive and inspiration in to gear it seems. Maybe because I’m finally figuring out exactly what I want my life to be, and maybe because I want the best life for my child so I need to make myself and my own life better first. Whatever the reason, even if I’m absolutely insane…I couldn’t be happier with my plans right now.

Are you insane too? What are you plans and dreams and goals for the year?
