  I have some sewing and craft projects that I need to get done.

  I have to go shopping with MIL after swimming this week. I have been putting it off for weeks. Boo.

  I am in the middle of a couple of books and those need to be finished ASAP.

  I have a Dentist appointment this afternoon, and I hate going to the Dentist. It's just a routine cleaning, but still.
  I'd like to get some work done on a couple of cross stitch projects I have going. I've neglected them for weeks.

  I want to read and read and read. And I'd love to visit my mom, too.

  I need to organize the pantry.  It's a disaster area.  I also want to work on my craft room/library area. Also a disaster area.  I want to be able to use the room more without scooting around random piles of stuff. 
  I'm working on a blanket in my spare time, but it's a challenge to not be reading during that time instead.
  I need to make a deal with myself.  30 rows, read a chapter, 30 rows, read a chapter. 
  I also have a bunch of stuff to donate, so I need to figure out when to get out and actually do that.

  "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
  "I don't much care where –"
  "Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

  I'm getting into exam mode, so on top of keeping up with classes I have to start getting organized and crack down on studying. I'm not looking forward to any of it. 

  
  

  I want to get my current book finished up so that I can pick-up Alienated!

  I HAVE to finish packing. We leave for NYC in a week. I also have to finish writing a presentation for a writers conference I'm speaking at this weekend with my agent. I'm lucky she'll be there to guide me. I'm SO nervous. I need to see as many friends and family as possible this week. I also need to write a new blog post. But I have no topic ideas right now bc of the continuous TO DO list in my head. I've got to go to DMV to give my car to my nephew. I've got to reserve a rental car to drive up to NY. I've got to get rid of the last little stuff we can't bring. This list could go on and on. Oh! And I have to change my insurance since it's dependent on what state you live in. Whew.

  I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  I'm constantly battling this dilemma. I love doing both. Sometimes, I've my project is easy enough, I can listen to an audiobook while I do it. But it needs to be a simple, repetitive project, or I can't concentrate on both.

  I haven't read a book in a few weeks. I need to pick something up but I'm so busy/stressed/not enough free time.

  
  

  I guess really I need to get motivated to make time for myself. I'm feeling so burnt out and tired and having trouble sleeping on top of it. I just want one day to not think, do paperwork, clean, handle crises, anything except relax, read, and cook.

  I just frogged a cowl that I was making my sister and started over with a new pattern.  I hope I like the way this one looks better.

  I stared my third seed sowing yesterday.  I'm going to run out of room fast if this weather keeps up.

  I need to start getting the nursery together.  I'm kidding myself that I'm waiting on Husband to do some things in there.  I just need to get it together and do it myself, otherwise it will never get done.
