Things to Do

I’ve had a full weekend: running at the gym, knitting with friends, Sunday brunch, and football watching (I do not so much ‘care’ as ‘support’). And working on another paper house, as you can see. One of the great things about my new glasses is that, since they’re not scratched up, I don’t mind keeping them on for non-computer close-up things — like drawing. My old glasses felt too ‘in the way’. So now I don’t have to go blind!
Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my paper house post, by the way. I keep getting more and more ideas for new houses and buildings; it’s hard to stop.
As much as I’d like to draw all day, I have so much to do this week. I really need to make a proper to-do list, because everything is weighing on me much more than is necessary. I feel like there’s so much I need to get done outside of real work, but I’m pretty sure all I actually have to do is call my insurance agent. And deposit a check. Hardly a mountain that needs scaling.
And even though my work tasks are much higher in number, I know if I sit down and just tackle one thing after another, I can clear a lot of my list in only a few hours. Putting things off takes sooo much more time than getting them done. Bah.
If only I could live in a world where little paper houses were as good as currency. And chocolate chip cookies were a nutritionally balanced meal. And none of my favourite TV shows had ever been canceled, and Beany could speak English. You know, so long as I’m wishing for things.
p.s. — Hey, my birthday is in one month! Woo hoo!

    I’m a bit behind everyone else I know, but I wanted to say that those amazing houses look, er, AMAZING. Good job.

  3. You could make little paper houses OUT of currency, and then sell them to home-owning capitalists.
    Also, your new glasses are hot like sizzling strips of Morningstar veggie bacon.

    Paper house ARE as good as currency, IMHO. Not many people know how to *create*. And choc chip cookies ARE a nutritionally balanced meal, if you eat them with some veggies :)

  5. The house is beautiful. I will print and put together during the holiday break with my boys. Thanks again.
