Farmgirl Paints: me artsy

I am all hyped up on caffeine right now girlies, so bear with me:) It's been a weird week. Revisiting the past with my last post put me in kind of a tailspin. You all know I'm a nut like that. So along with going down memory lane it made me re-evaluate my present and future, and to be honest I think I'm having a mini midlife crisis. I won't be looking for a new man or buying a fancy sportscar anytime soon, but I do feel the need for CHANGE.

I'm SO not where I want to be in a few areas of my life. I'm feeling a little bored. HATE that word, but it's true. There is a giant hole of usefullness that needs filled up in me and it's probably due to a whole slew of things...big move, kids are getting more independant and don't need me as much, there's a master list staring at me and I never seem to get anything done etc... Regardless I'm keenly aware that I'm pregnant with SOMETHING and dangit I want that BABY. I need something to nuture, to take care of...to pour myself into...to make me feel ALIVE! Does any of this make sense, or have I really gone off the deep end??

And no I'm not actually pregnant. I just had the lovely annual visit today. So fun meeting a new doctor for the first time...NOT:/

I've mentioned this before, but it's worth restating...I LOVE INSTAGRAM. It has become a big deal to me. It's so fun connecting with people so quickly and easily. I love looking at pictures. It's revolutionary!!!! If you don't have it...GET IT. It's super cool.

This month I've been doing the photo a day thing. It just a fun way to keep you snapping pics. Today's word was addiction. So that got me thinking about stuff I enjoy and I've noticed a little theme. Outside of my obvious biggest loves of my family and the Lord, I love stuff that I can control...that is all me. For instance Pinterest. Uh ME!!!!! Blogging...ME! Instagram...ME!!!!!!!! Not sure if that's a bad thing, but I see a common link.

And here they all are in one pic;) My phone, computer...oh and my new fav drink...thank you sweet friend for telling me about it.

Mix 1/3C coconut milk, 1/2C chocolate almond milk, 1 1/2 scoops chocolate protein powder, 1/2-1T instant coffee and some ice cubes and maybe a little water. SHAKE AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! Never been an iced coffee drinker, but I crave this. I NEED this to get me through the afternoon. It's good.

*****BTW this recipe will be my last for awhile. I'm officially done with "FEED MY FAMILY FRIDAY"! I've got something else in mind. It's fun and it's ME;)

One area that I would like to be doing more with is my creative side. My paintbrushes miss me. They do...I know it. I believe with all my heart that if you just start making stuff the inspiration comes. And Lord knows I need some of that, so I'm starting a new thing called Me ARTSY! Every now and then I'm going to post a craft link up. It won't be every week, because I HATE deadlines and nothing squashes my creativity more than knowing on Friday I have to write a post about ____________! So keep your eyes peeled.

I saw this little dog notebook at Target the other day. SO cute! Anyway it inspired me to do a paper craft of my sweet dog Fergie. I haven't started yet. Hope it turns out cute. Join me if you like. I'll post on it soon and you can link up with me.

Have a blessed day.
