Wasting time

I should be baking cakes, doing laundry, cleaning up, and general Saturday busyness but I’m not. I am sitting here in my bed wasting the day away. It’s kind of nice. Last night was Scrapbook night at the church. It’s held once a month and it started about 6 years ago I guess. I was really into scrap booking for a long time. I started making cards and they are like mini works of art, so I have stuck with them. I made 9 cards last night and they are simple, yet cute and are great to have on hand for birthday parties and long distance birthdays. I ran out of the ones I made over a year ago, where I had 10 categories of cards on hand for many different occasions. It was nice to have them around, but when I ran out, I didn’t replenish. Now I am starting to re-stock my larder. If I was actually scrapbooking, I wouldn’t have even completed one whole layout last night. I guess I enjoy the instant gratification that cards give me. All that to say, I stayed there until 2:30 and then sat in front of my house talking to Nat on her way home. I didn’t get in until 3:15 and Jon was still awake. We talked for a while and finally turned the TV off at 4:30. OMG! Doesn’t make a for a pleasant morning to have to get up at the regular time, so we slept in. The girls were at a sleepover and the boys played somewhat quietly until around 10:30. Jon got up and was still comatose. I think I got up sometime after 1pm. Gotta love Saturdays when you CAN be lazy….always an option to be lazy, all depends on if you take it or not.
Lauren has another sleepover tonight at another friends house, and I will be making cakes for her bake sale at the church tomorrow. She wants to help with all of them, but I would rather just do them and be done with it. I know, I know Mom..she needs to help! ;)

I work best under pressure.

    You got that right…lol! Love it when my voice resonates through your brain, it’s a ‘good thing’ and what fun. Creating memories and giving Lauren a sense of accomplishment while having your attention for awhile on something that’s gonna make her money!
    Hugs galore and kisses a bunch!

    I just stumbled across your blog on the web. It looks like you’re really busy with some fun things and it’s good to hear you’ve found time to relax. That’s important.

    I see you’re doing some church fundraising with a bake sale and I wanted to share a pretty neat fundraising idea a friend of mine sent me last week. It’s a free program called iBakeSale. The program helps people or groups raise money for various cause large and small by spending at hundreds of retailers they have in their program. It turns everyday spending into fundraising and takes the need away from doing more time intensive things like bake sales and raffles. I just wanted to share because I’m using it for a variety of groups I’m involved with and love it. It makes grass-roots fundraising easy and free. Check it out.
