Ten Things You Need To Plan For. Man! This one is too hard for me. I'm either a compulsive planner or a procrastinator. By procrastinating I mean head in the sand, pretend it isn't happening, let someone else take care of it, I'll worry about it when I get there procrastinating. Then there is the adage, the best laid plans of mice and men, we know how that goes. That is my deal, why make a plan when so many things come up to keep them from happening. I could plan this post and it will change by the end or never get published, the fate of so many. So, what angle should I take on this list? How about ten things I need to plan for this.week.
- Knitting time. I have a sweater that I am knitting for someone that has to get done.
- Sewing time. I have added too many projects to that pile.
- Eating. Between taking one thing on an empty stomach twice a day, another thing that can't be taken too close to when I take my vitamins, another with food....It's a rigid schedule, I'll tell ya.
- Yard sale on Saturday?
- Okay, I'm not afraid to say it. Television. Between SYTYCD and DWTS and PR and GLEE all on the same nights with overlapping times my DVR is going to be working overtime.
- That reminds me, I have to watch some of the stuff I have saved on the DVR to make room.
- What to wear.
- A bag to pack so I'm ready when a certain little one is welcomed into the fold.
- I have a fun idea to adapt a quilt pattern, I keep planning that in my head everywhere I go.
- Any one thing so that when Pete asks me, "What' your plan?" as he does every.single.day I will actually just have something to say instead of wanting to plant a knitting needle in his eye. I could plan an actual something or just something to say or both. I'll have to plan that, too.
I'm with you on #10! I get "So what's the plan?" What is with men??

I'm a compulsive planner, and like you - if I don't want to deal with X tast - I can procrastinate like no bodies business!!
Looking forward to seeing your new quilt plans.

Terry - Did I miss something? Are you expecting a grandbaby, or just a significant urchin being added to the fold?

I have to admit, as much as it irritates me when John asks that question, it DOES help me to use my time more productively. Otherwise, I would probably be overwhelmed and paralyzed pretty regularly!

I am so with you. Mine typically asks if there is a plan for the weekend. I tell him the plan. (There must be a plan, I've discovered, or he'll just keep on asking.) Next day (or sometimes later the same day), "do we have a plan for the weekend?" Dude, Get With The Plan, or don't ask me.

It's definitely a "man" thing! On my days off, I don't want to "plan" anything unless I absolutely have to...I'm very spur of the moment and definitely no suits and high heels! You did well to come up with ten...I would be hard pressed to do the same!
Do I see a grandchild in the near future? :) Just wondering...that brings a whole new kind of fun knitting! :)

No grandchild, a bummer in one way, but all in good time. right?
No, Cheryl (seedstitch blog) is having a baby and I am attending the birth. Hopefully today.....
:)
