Blame my mother

Oh no!  The sun is back after two days of cold rain.  Why "oh no"?  Because I grew up hearing "it is nice outside, what are you doing inside?"  For those rainy days I had no problem staying inside, working on my various projects.  Now that the weather turned beautiful- sunny, warm and windless-I can't concentrate.  Who else would I blame but my mother!!  (I hope she is at least smiling at this, knowing I am only kidding!)


It is VERY difficult to stay inside getting work done when the weather is so gorgeous, but I also feel the need to advance my projects which I so dutifully carried for weeks in my suitcase so that I would have something to do when we got here. (!!)


I brought cooking magazines that needed to be culled for the recipes I wanted to keep. I brought books to read-The Happiness Project, How to Manage Your 401k, plus 4 novels. I brought a knitting project and I planned to finalize my business plan and hone my social media skills.  All to be completed in 5 weeks!!! 




 Well, I have completed the cooking magazine project (even made one of the recipes the other night for dessert!), I have made progress on my knitting project, finished reading one novel and am 1/2 way through the second.  I have added the script for google analytics to my web site programming.



What have I learned? 
I have more in the queue than I can possibly accomplish in 5 weeks. 
I want choices/variety. 
I work best when there is a deadline. 
I need to feel accomplishment. 
I like having a plan, and I like being able to deviate from the plan if the mood strikes...or if the weather changes.

Thanks, Mom!!

Blue skies!

  1. I have always said (and I'm sure it has now come to fruition) that the first 2 words out of M and M's mouths in therapy would be, "My Mother..."

    Lovely yarn!
