Procratinating From My List and Summer Hasn't Even Started Yet!

I've got so much to do, yet I'm bored right now.  That's because I don't know where to start with what I have to do, so I don't do anything.  Sounds productive, doesn't it :)  What is it I should be doing?  Well, I could be
  • Making Erin's wedding veil
  • Finishing up Erin's wedding blanket (it's in the final stages - yahoo!)
  • Finishing up the kids' coloring book program for the wedding - 2 more pages maybe?
  • Writing my Bible Study lessons for this summer - it starts next week and I haven't written anything yet, although I do have the outline done.
  • Writing the study guide for prayer for next fall.  This needs to be six lessons for the whole church to do.  Still a little intimidated by the subject matter - I'm certainly not the expert here!  Thanks to Carmen & Rosie for helping me!
  • Sorting through all the baby toys in my toy box.  It's overflowing and time to get some of the infant stuff out.  Lara's no longer an infant!
  • Getting the rest of my gardening supplies from the store so I can finish my flower projects.  I hate it when I run out of supplies and can't finish what I started!  I'm terrible at getting back at the project later, although I know I must.
I'm sure there's more that should be on the list, but that's enough there already to keep me busy for the rest of the summer!  Now if I can only get going on it!

So, just a short post today, but now you'll know what my summer's going to be like.  Give me a call and take me away from this list sometime - Please!  Coffee?  Lunch?  The beach?  Anywhere Northwest flies??  I'm up for anything!

Blessings...

OK, so I haven't posted in a long time.  But then again, nothing all that interesting has been going on - just the same ole', same ole' stuff.  Although the weather did cooperate this week and let me get the bulbs planted that have been sitting in my garage for a couple of months now.  I order them online and they're supposed to be shipped at my 'appropriate' planting time.  Evidently the bulb company doesn't realize you can't plant flowers in April in Michigan!  Someone should tell them that!

Tonight some of us got together for prayer.  Group prayer - it's always a good thing!  Especially when you're blessed to be in the presence of such prayer warriors.  God really does move mountains!

Tomorrow I get to get up really early to catch the Amtrak train to Chicago.  Then I get to help Erin move out of her apartment and move home for the summer.  I'm so ready to have her home, even if it is for just a few short months.  And I'm sure these months will just fly by!  There's quite a few wedding plans we need to really get moving on now that she'll be home.  I know she'll want to rest for a few days, but I'd like to be able to check some items off my list!  It's an exciting, busy, emotional, etc. time for me - hopefully I'm keeping the stress off her, but I suppose I can't take it all from her, although I wish I could.  I just want her day to be the most special, beautiful, wonderful day that she could ever imagine.  I know the ultimate goal is for her and Matt to be married, and she says she doesn't care about all the little things, but I still want the best for her - her best, God's best.  My mother's heart will never change, I guess!

Well, that's it for now - just a quick post so I don't forget this is here.  Have a wonderful day and don't forget the One that gave you that day!
