We are living in the aftermath of major renovations, and there are lots of odds and ends that never got finished. <br /><br />Chocolate chip cookies are always high on my list of priorities. Especially for breakfast. Yum.<br /><br />You seem to do a good job juggling all the balls that you have in the air right now-- that takes a lot of talent.<br /><br />People are fascinating. I find writers to be especially fascinating, because of the way that they (we?) view and think about the world.Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439710678680377391.post-10034896431069678482009-09-07T11:05:03.696-04:002009-09-07T11:05:03.696-04:00Yum, cookies. And it's time for my breakfast, ...Yum, cookies. And it's time for my breakfast, too.<br /><br />My house is a mess. There are unfinished remodeling projects everywhere. Even the bathroom which we had professionally done is unfinished because the contractor disappeared for 3 months. When he finally called, I was in no mood to accept his offer to finish the job.<br /><br />I have priiorities for what needs to be done, what can wait - again, and what is on that wish it would get done list. Working full time, writing part time, having the wife and the furry children and my volunteer activities takes everything I've got (and even more - occassionally). I'm constantly re-prioritizing.<br /><br />As for judging, I do a lot of that in my head both of me and others. I try to not let that color my life though. I want to know why people do what they do. What motivates them? It's fascinating to me.Sarah Laurensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252565450452195395noreply@blogger.com
