Ten Things I Need to Do and Stop Procrastinating, or Caroleknits prompt today

By -
 I don't procrastinate with things I enjoy. 
Life's funny that way. 
Carole's prompt is ten things you have to step up and do:

  1. *Make my Veterinarian sister her knitted pillow cover. 

I have superbulky yarn in her color choice...
I just have to set my mittens aside and do this for her. 
She rarely asks for things. 
  1. Buy the impatients for the front window boxes. 

  3. Get to the post office.  I have one envelope and potentially more that I can mail in one swoop.

  5. Gather a few things for the Animal Shelter Flea Market,
  6. (it is not called that really) 
  7. and Drive it up there. 
  8.  
  9. Feed the rose bushes with Miracle Grow

  11. Invite the new neighbors for a porch sit. 

  13. Buy a new set of measuring spoons.
  14. You'd think I would be able to do this, but I forget until I'm baking...

  16. Toss the disgusting cookie sheet and buy another. 

  18. Clean my car inside. It is so far gone, it feels like polishing a booger, as Fireman says. 
Bite the bullet and buy some Keens for this summer. 
I'm so cheap and I hate to spend the money, but they are the best. 

Sorry for the list number mess, clearly I don't know how to use this feature!!

Ha, ha. Don't we all have similar lists!! I'd say get those new Keens as soon as possible; they are worth every penny! I have a couple pair and wear them constantly, as they are the most comfortable shoes I own.

Ha! I have a similar list...maybe a little longer. Instead I keep working on the same lace shawl (and have had to rip twice - thank goodness for a lifeline). I do believe Fezzik is a natural for the camera.

I had to laugh at your numbers. I thought you were just being clever and try to WOW us with a smaller list! I just learned how to do it (TODAY)! Visiting from Carol's Ten on Tuesday

Your list makes me think I need a list. But then I'd see all that I need to do... Ugh. Your list looks doable. I got my Keens in raspberry and I love them! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

OMG using this immediately. So funny.

Also, you have ONE pair of feet and you are doing so good with your walking and you love being out and about with The Fireman and your friends in the summer. Buy the shoes, enjoy your summer.

Go with new Keens. They'll make you feel fabulous!

Impatients are on my list too. If I don't get them soon I never will again this year.

I've never tried Keens, but a lot of my friend love them. Birks are my go-to summer sandal.

your little kitty is looking at your list and wondering why it's so so long :) I hope you get some done this week!!

I think your list should include snuggle time with cute little kittens. My list involves the usual grocery shopping, dinner and a long day at work.
Hugs,

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
