It's about time, hey?

Some of my good friends have been asking me to write a blog post. Everybody is busy, but since I last posted, I have: worked 39 days in the store, attended 6 business meetings (not including BNI) and 1 networking mixer, attended 11 BNI meetings and made a presentation at 5 of them, attended or taught 11 hours of BNI training, organized one and went on two out-of-town resale bus trips to Cincinnati, attended a 3-day BNI conference in Orlando, spent 6 days in Washington with the cutest 2-year-old in the world, set up two fashion shows and conducted one, attended two fund-raisers and volunteered for one of them, attended another library Author!Author! talk, held a two-day fund-raiser at the store, organized and conducted an outdoor sale at the store, spent a weekend in Dayton for a family funeral, and attended 6 Mud Hens games and 3 Little League baseball games.

But I am not complaining - I wouldn't have done anything differently. I love my life and am easily bored. I've also been able to spend time with good friends and eat at our friends' restaurant an average of twice a week. And I've
completed two online crossword puzzles a day and
played a few hundred games of Scrabble.


And believe it or not - I consider myself lazy! I really do. If I have no evening plans, when I come home from the store, I do nothing - my husband cooks dinner or we carry in or eat out; I check e-mail; I put my PJ's on as soon as it's dark; and I vegetate in front of the TV (I love reality shows) and read in bed.

But cooking, laundering and cleaning? Not in my schedule. Is my house a mess? Yes. Do I have a huge mound of dirty clothes? Yes. (One of the advantages of having so many clothes.) Do I feel guilty? No way. I'm not proud of this - it just is what it is. I know women who spend most of their free time doing these chores and they seem pretty miserable to me.

Ok - I've aired my dirty laundry (really, no pun intended). Why don't you share some of your 'dirt' here? I sure can commiserate with you.
