Busy as a BACKWARD BEE!

Ok...I'll let you in on a little secret about myself. I'm a procrastinator. BIG TIME! 

In the worst way. Some time back, ...like say the first week in March, Amy at New Nostalgia started something called 'ANTI- Procrastination Tuesday'

 

only... for me it has been more like 'PROCRASTINATION Tuesdays" -Seriously folks, it's like I need an intervention or something. But, I joined in- WITH good intentions I might add.  I made a cute little list of all the things I'd like to get done over a few short weeks. I posted about it here. 

WELL-  it has been buggin the FIRE out of me, that I haven't gone back to it. So tonight I did just that. I went back and read my list. And low and behold... I've been busier than I thought! So, I'm REVISING my list. Well, I'm marking some things off... 

I used to read Laine's Letters...still do every so often.

Although I don't find many women around nowadays that know who she is...great mentor and God fearing woman; anyway... she had days where she didn't feel very productive but just knew she had been busy doing something! So she would sit down and make a list of all that she HAD gotten done on THAT day, and she called it her 'BUSY AS A BACKWARD BEE LIST'  

That is more or less what this is for me.  I'm just going down my list to see what I have gotten accomplished.

That's it for now- hope everybody had a great weekend.  I did.  I also got to visit and see a lot of new blogs courtesy of Donna's SNS this week.  I saw so much, and I wore my TUMBLR BUTTON OUT! 

I have sensory overload.  I've got plenty to keep me busy this week. Don't know if I'll get to all of it...you know, I'm a BIG TIME PROCRASTINATOR!  HA!

~~~Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

 Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that." ~~~ 

James 4:13-15
