Fall Harvest Time in High Gear


Oh my gosh, how did that happen? Last time I was here, it was the beginning of Sept.... now it is almost Fall Harvest party time! Free Halloween alternative for kids(and Parents!)at Northgate Foursquare in Courtenay, Oct 31st, 6 p.m - 8 p.m. Games, candy, FUN~FUN~FUN & FREE! Gotta love that, I will be there, severely decorated I might add. Come and check it out...

Okay, so this is going to be a glimpse into what my life is like. My multi tasking gift ( some suggest ADD I say no label thanks!) is in extraordinarily high gear. My mind, which is not fueled by any caffeine by the way, is racing so fast I can't even write things down, I am on a mission of accomplishment beyond measure today. WHEW!

~making jewelry
~crafting 100+ clowns
~attending 2 meetings
~dropping off money for an order I placed with a friend to support a school fundraiser
~brainstorming (with myself) ideas for L'Arche permanent fundraising plans
~deciding where to take letters requesting donations for L'Arche dinner/dance silent auction Nov 7th
~clearing up the kitchen table craft area so we don't have to eat on the partially assembled 100+ clowns
~go to church to pick up envelope
~pick up another envelope at CVAG
~eat lunch to fuel completion of the list
~check facebook photos to make sure there are photos for a potential friend who may decide to sell my work in her store
~write this little gem (!)
~get distracted by FB updated statuses which then leads to other various levels of distraction!
~answer door to receive parcels from Canada Post
~think about what hat to wear since my hair is riotous today
~help my hubby attach ice pack to his shirt to ease a pain
~direct lunch reheat process
~talk on phone re:potential work days in November to fill in for someone
~check out packaging and display options on Ebay for Twisted Heirloom


You get the picture, and that was all happening in about an hour, minus the hat and running errands, haven't gone yet....

I feel a little winded, yet still am wondering how Gill is making out in her exciting sewing venture, what will Colleen and I have for dinner on Thursday eve before going to Candace's thing at the Stan Hagen Theatre, am I going to town in my pajamas today?, have I eaten or merely thought about it?, Andrew's lunch smells fantastic, wow would I love to be able to sing like Josh Groban...or Nick Meyers (!), is my day already gone or does it just seem like it because there is so much to do, do I need to write a list or will I remember, my hip aches a little and I wonder what that is all about, do I have the right change for the pointsetta's or should I write a cheque?, what time do I need to leave to be on time.....

so, welcome to my world, and that is only a glimpse... I haven't even started to revamp the Extroverted Angel Costume for the harvest party, or planned Chelsea's birthday which is this Sunday, or decided on a hat, do I still have time to eat? Oh man, I crack myself up, good thing most of this stuff is contained within my head with volume on mute.

Happy Tuesday, post Gobble Gobble and pre Ho - Ho!

I will be back shortly because I don't think I wrote what I was going to .... I got distracted!
