Remind the world of goodness (read all 10 entries…)
goodness

Is having 25 adolescents over for a party, having nine to sleep, and keeping out of the way except for to fill up with coke and crisps.

And not freaking out when we wake up with roads blocked by snow.

They were so lovely I’d happily keep them.

For a while.



write real letters and send them (read all 3 entries…)
card-making

I’m so not a make-and-do person but I do obsess about stuff. Must have made about 100 cards in the last couple of weeks.

Problem is I don’t know anyone’s snail mail address, and clueless about birthday dates, so I’m just kind of making cards for the sake of making cards. It’s really nice to think about so and so and make a card for their birthday, and since my stamp obsession I can even get the right postage…but no addresses.

I could scan them and put little powerpoint callouts ‘look, here’s a bit of silk’ and ‘don’t you just love the 3d effect’

Part of this goal should be making a proper address book.



go to the dentist (well I don't want to, but I should) (read all 12 entries…)
was so glad

an unavoidable confcall meant I couldn’t make my tooth-extraction-appointment.

It was so good to call and cancel without having to lie.

Praying for another urgent call at 5.30 next monday…
