What a scene. I put the sausages on to cook on the oventop. Paul goes down the road to get the boys from Karate. I look at the clock and see I have 10 spare minutes where there is noone but me in the house, perhaps I could wash the large tile floor. The clever ideas I have sometimes truly astound me.
So I start mopping. Fast. I start mopping in the kitchen and work my way out. This area is huge that I'm cleaning. I'm working fast. Burning. Something is burning. I was clearly too wrapped up in the mopping to even think about the dinner that needs turning on the oventop. And if I hadn't just washed the freakin floor, I'd run over there and do just that.
So instead I run and get a towel. I throw it on the floor, step on it and shuffle my way into the kitchen, via the drawers to get out the sausage turner overer thingie. Multii tasking. BUffing the floor and preparing dinner at the same time. So clever.
I shuffle back out of the kitchen, open the door to let the smokey smell out, and start mopping some more. At which time the family arrives home to the scene: smokey room, me standing on a towel, mop in one hand, screaming at them from across the room "You can't come in!!!"
At one time I would have had enough fore-thought to have figured all this out before it happened and avoided it. Where did said fore-thought go?
Talking of fore-thought – talk of a new book for me is totally not true. I have worked on quite a few books recently. But none my own. And usually just 3 or 4 pages at a time. I do have something that I'm crossing my fingers works out – it's been in proposal for a long time, but it's yet to come to fruition. The longer I have to mull it over in my mind, the better it'll be, right? That's what I tell myself anyway.
Anyway – quick post tonight. I have a book that I'm enjoying tonight and I may go read some! Seriously unusual for me but one happy step towards my goal of reading more books more often. Go me.
I'll leave you with a page I did for a Memory Makers book that was recently released. "Ask the Masters III". Loved these puppy pics! Used them on a page for CHA as well.
Laters.
