routine things, not!

I like things nice and quiet and routine.  I get grumpy if my routine is upset.  Ok, that's a mild understatement.  I get up in the morning and eat the same thing for breakfast Monday thru Friday.  Same goes for lunch since I've been dieting: I have the same thing for lunch-day in, day out.  I kind of like it that way.

However, over the next two months will be anything but routine and I'm trying to gear my mind to accepting that. I have 4 major events occuring in a 5 week timeframe in which I play the central part. 

To start with, I'm getting old and I've elected to go to my 35th high school reunion in a little bitty place in NW Oklahoma.  Cool, I got a 3 day weekend for it but it will entail a 5 hour drive each way.  No big deal....ROAD TRIP!  I love to travel and am looking forward to spending a couple of nights in a decent hotel (with an indoor pool!).  I won't have to cook and we get a mini vacation  while I get to see how well my classmates have aged compared to myself.

The next week isn't so happy.  I have to have a dental implant done.  This means I have to see a dentist.  I believe I've stated this before, "I HATE dentists!"  Nothing personal, guys, it's just the whole in your mouth with sharp objects profession thing.

Then with my standard rotten luck, 2 days later is the Aubrey Peanut Festival and the debut of Black Kat Kreations.  I have no idea if I'm going to be greeting the public looking like I was smacked with a baseball bat or if I'll be oozing blood or just what.  I've got to call the periodontist tomorrow and see if I can get more info.

And lastly! To add insult to injury, 2 weeks later I'm hosting our fall family reunion at our house.  Great!  Missing a tooth, trying to rebuild inventory for the next craft fair (or licking my wounded pride from the previous one) and having to get the house in immaculate condition since none of those folks have ever been to my house before.  All you ladies know how that can be!

So I'm looking to keep a steady hand and head for these next 2 months then hopefully we'll move into an even faster pace to start getting ready for Christmas shows.  Woo Hoo!

Happy crafting!!!!!
