About a List


Here's the deal. I'm drowning in action items. Namely (but not limited to)...

1. Read the remaining 364 pages in Lace Reader before book club on Wednesday. Normally I would slack and just pretend I had finished the book, attend book club, and drink wine. But, ummmm, book club is at my house this month. Remind me, why do I read?

2. Find suitable Captain Hook costume for Mason to wear to Cooper's party as the bread hook is needed.

3. Decide if the mothers of 4 yols will care if temporary tattoos and BIG swords are the take-home prize from birthday party. Actually I've already decided I don't care. But I'm trying to decide if I'm going to apologize in advance or after.

4. Sew no less than 3 handbags, 2 adult size aprons, 2 child size aprons, 3 pairs of child size pajamas, 10 Christmas stockings, 3 baby blankets, 3 yoga mat totes, and 5 pencil rolls before Nov. 20.

5. Sew more of everything before Dec. 16.

6. Muster the courage to let at least one person read the 50,000 word novel I wrote. Decide who that person should be. Face the criticism.

Dang...you are probably the busiest person I know! You are so talented, you'll pull everything off, I'm sure. And why apologize about the party favors? It's pirate themed! And you're done with your novel? How'd the writing process go? I would love to read it! Good luck with all your projects!
