Crafty? Or crafty!


So life goes on. School goes on. Rain goes on. Feels like winter. My fingers are cold and my legs are lazy.

Yep, that about sums life up right now. Although I did manage to get 2 scrapbooking pages completed this weekend. In no way, shape or form was I supposed to be scrapbooking. But a friend called me up and made it known that she was scrapbooking, and maybe I'd like to join her in a little scrappy session. I declined. Lurking at the edges of my brain was the word 'HOMEWORK' in neon lights. Yes, another paper to write. After I hung up the phone I decidedly finished the supper I was making, then finished the laundry I was doing. Then I peeked into my extremely messy and unorganized craft room, started fondling some craft stuff, thought about how I should be organizing this room, pulled out scrapbook paper with an intent on organizing it....then all of a sudden pictures came out, scissors came out, glue came out.....and one scrapbook page was made! I felt torrentuously guilty. And it was midnight so time for bed.

This afternoon, I had full intentions of beginning the homework. I sat at the computer. Then I heard some commotion coming from upstairs. First thought....CAT! TISSUE PAPER! My cat has this thing for ripping up tissue paper and creating a crazy mess. I raced up the stairs, got mad at the cat, stuffed the shredded paper into the garbage, then stole a look at my messy scrapbook area. I sat down, and before I knew it 2 hours had gone by and VOILA! Yet another scrapbook page appeared finished! I was quite pleased with myself.....but it was tinged with guilt. So now it's 9:00PM and I'm just starting the homework. I really feel that this is just fate. And I can't fight fate.

So, in honor of my cat. I post a picture of her. I really wonder if she ever has any happy thoughts!

Happy thoughts?! Honestly, I don't even want to enter the mind of a cat that likes hanging out in Eau de Micksweat. Is that what she's doing? Does she still do that?!?!

I wonder . . . if but for a bit of time management, would it be possible to do homework AND scrapbook? Huh? Huh?!

Question marks followed by exclamation marks rule, by the way.

Punctuation?!?! Woot!!!

(See?!?!)

Time management? No, I'm sorry to inform you, but time management is a myth taught to us by those who think time management exists.

Yes, the cat still loves Micksweat.
