The joy of being married is that you suddenly have someone watching you 24 hours a day who can point out the strange and annoying things you do. Because we are with each other pretty much all the time, Kyle notices things about me that I did not ever notice before.
Case in point: I start a lot of projects simultaneously.
Most of which I have yet to finish.
You guys, I think I'm driving him nuts. Well, okay I know I'm driving him nuts, because he told me so. I can tell you this because I've realized that he is right (don't tell him I said so!)
And now I am driving me nuts too.
Pretty much I need to finish some projects.
Now.
Of course when he first pointed this out, I denied it profusely and justified every 50% complete project. (I need more supplies! I need more time! I'm a multitasker! It's just how I roll!)
But now that I've had some time to think about it, I am here to hang my head in public shame and come clean about my problem.
My Unfinished Projects:
1. Baby Quilt: needs to be backed and bound
2. Floor Lamp: I need wayyy more coffee filters and another 3 days of hot gluing. Also, I may need to paint the lamp base (I'm still somewhat undecided on this factor)
3. The Gallery Wall: I have three frames that still have paint on the glass (I just need to scrape it off) that also need pictures inside. And I must finally correct the slightly off-balance issue.
4. $5 Bookshelf: Still sitting in the garage waiting for a good sanding and a clever paint job.
5. Nursery Dresser: It WAS finished once, but then I decided to mess with the knobs. Now I need to finish the knobs.
6. The Chair: Uh... the piping has been pinned on this chair for over a year even though all it needs is a little hot glue.
7. Paper wall flower: Needs paint and a home
8. Birdhouse: The first paint job was all wrong and now it needs a new one
This list does not include all the projects I've not officially started but are hanging in the balance, waiting for a makeover: painting a corner shelf, sewing up throw pillows, slip covers here and there, refinishing bedroom furniture......)
Hi, my name is Kourtney and I have project ADD.
Anyone else suffer from this?

I have this problem when I'm cleaning the house sometimes, I'll start in the Kitchen and go to put something away in Lexi's room and start cleaning her room before I finish the Kitchen. As for projects I'm the opposite, I wont start another project until one is finished- even if it takes me 5 years :o)
Yep, count me in. :)
