If I work really hard to get this flimsy completed, I could put it away for good.
Its supposed to look like someone works here, right?
No one really cares if its a mess.... certainly not me!
No one ever comes in here except me anyway.
I know where everything is.... if I clean, I won't be able to find anything.
Whatever! I need to get just a tiny bit of control over this room. ok, ok, I will organize and pick up!!!
But then, what do I hear? The sound of galloping hooves.... the Cavalry (aka hubby) to the rescue!!!
DH: "How about a movie?"
Me: (with NO hesitation) "Sure !!"
Me: (totally guilt ridden) "But I need to work while I watch."
DH: (looking dumbfounded that I would even consider NOT working during a movie at home)
So, I drug in a plastic tub of cram-packed full of scraps that needed attention. That's cleaning up/organizing, right? I also drug in an iron, ironing board, power strip, ruler, rotary cutter, mat, and a small plastic shoebox. I am ready now!! oh, wait! I need something to drink too!
Ok, NOW I am ready. We chose Argo, mostly because we hadn't yet seen it and because it had just started.
We watched a movie and I turned a bin of scraps into the sizes that fit into my Scrap User's System by Bonnie Hunter @ quiltville! Not bad for time I would have fallen asleep if I didn't work on the scraps (note that I have convinced myself that showing 2 photos of it makes it look like I got more done than I really did).
Oh, Argo was a pretty good movie... and the ice cream was quite tasty :)
Keep plugging away at whatever you are putting off. It just takes 1 step to start.
