start to start

i am very much a starter. i have a million projects that i want to do in my head. once i start them, ill get SUPER into it for a short period of time, and then my interest will fizzle.

example 1 - drawing/painting - when james first came to visit me in ny in april, we decided to draw and paint on canvases which i eventually put up in my room. soon after, i bought a sketchbook and more canvases to paint on. i had sketches of my additional paintings that i would do, and now, six months later, i still haven't gotten to it

example 2 - baking - this is what im currently on and i think it has gotten a little obsessive. i started last friday and since then have used at least 6 sticks of butter and an entire bag of flour and bought tons of other ingredients to make cookies with. ive made so far 6 different types of cookies and tried several recipes for granola. i even bought posterboard and put together my own handmade boxes and decorated them to send to people. i wonder when ill get over this phase?
