My mind is going in 101 directions today. This is midterm week, but I find myself distracted by our new venture, Fit 2 Be Tied. There are soooooooo many projects I want to get started on, but I don't dare with 5 more weeks of school. I also want to finish my novel. Haven't worked on it for 5 friggin' months. Grrrrrr!
Took some of our crafts into a consignment shop today. Seemed to get a good reception from customers who were looking at the items before they were even tagged for display. Finger's crossed!
While we were in town, I took MIL shopping for the makings of mince meat pie (ugh!). I have a food addiction, but that is not on my list of favorites, not by a long shot. I can't get past the suet. Just thinking about it gets my gag reflex going. I get the same reflex thinking about lard. Many people swear by it, but if I know something has lard in it (like a pie crust), it makes me queasy. Just can't get past the fact that it is animal fat! Strange, I know...anyhooo...as I was going to turn into the strip mall where Kroger's is, I realized too late that I was heading in to the "exit" lane and not the "entrance" lane. There was a car coming out, and the eyes of the woman driving the other car were as wide as saucers. I swerved back out into oncoming traffic and skirted the edge of the curb until I could turn into the "correct" entrance. By then, MIL was laughing her ass off! I mean, total lunatic laugh! She was still laughing 30 minutes later. I told her since she enjoyed near death experiences so much, I was going to drive blindfolded next time...
I intended to spend the whole day doing homework, but maybe managed to get 4 hours worth done. I will tackle more as soon as I post this, as I am not focused enough at the moment to put my head back in a book...
I am not sure, but I think I have cornered the market on dot-dot-dots...
Until next time...dot...dot...dot...
lol...I have to say that was entertaining!!
ReplyDeleteAgree with you on the mincemeat, yuck!
D, you have a ton of stuff on your plate, stop beating yourself up! My goodness, 4 hours of homework? You should feel accomplished!
A novel? LOL omg, mine is still inside my head, actually two of them. Not one word on paper and it's been years. Although I did write 3 chapters of a nonfiction book a couple of years ago, right before getting sick, only to lose them in a computer rebuild about 6 months ago.
Crafts to the consignment shop?? Whoooohooo...you go girl! That is awesome!
Now cut out the self flagellation and pat yourself on the back :)
