THE SANDS PASS ON

What is the expression, those who cannot do, teach?

I love teaching about time management - I just aren't always as good about managing my own personal time.

I am just finishing a lesson on "Using Time Wisely, and have been alternating that with playing "Bejewled", watching "What Not To Wear" on TLC and completely relating to the women who do not know how to dress themselves well and particularly the ones who don't feel at all good about the way they look.

Is this multi-tasking or avoiding what I really need to do?


Okay - I think what I need to do is finish my lesson, find something to wear that looks nice to church tomorrow, and have down time.

Man, I am SOO on track.

NOT A PRETTY WOMAN

I am the antiphrasis (the opposite) of fashion. My entire life has been a fight against the fashion police - my mom, my older sisters, and (I don't what I did in a previous life to warrant this, but it musta big something BIG) my oldest daughter.

Somehow I was born with the idea that clothing is to cover our nakedness and keep us warm if and when necessary. And to me, blue jeans, a tee shirt, sweatshirt and shoes is enough to deal with that.

And I have to assume that there ARE women out there who purchase things like this.

If this is a way to stimulate the economy... well, I'm not playing.

Now, office supplies - now with THOSE I can go completely overboard with. I have never met a file folder that I love. There is no such thing as too many paper clips. Hand me a storage box; my knees are weak.

Something like this - Lord, take me now, my life is complete.
