Wrapping Up Another Week

Posted in Craft Business, tagged on November 4, 2011| 2 Comments »

All week I was supposed to do this thing, but I’ve been procrastinating and avoiding because seriously, I kind of wrecked my own chances to make it good.  Dang camera.  But I’m not going to think about that right now.  Today I’m going to concentrate on how I’ve been annoyed by this stupid little cold all week long.

A sore throat and pretty serious headache kept me away from the day job one day, and a fever kept me from seeing all the little goblins at my door on Halloween night.  I thought I was on my way out of it just in time for the weekend except, no.  Enter, snot.

Most bits of energy I have are put into the simple act of breathing now.  My weekend will be spent with Kleenex stuffed up my nostrils and a very thick coat of balm on my lips to keep them from cracking.  Continuous mouth breathing does that to lips, you know.

In less self-pitying news and despite my forecasted low energy level things will be all a-bustle at the Auntie B’s Wax World Headquarters this weekend.  I’ve only seven days to finish preparations for the upcoming 2nd Annual Lady’s Holiday Party held by the ever-famous Mary Ann.  Less than seven days to stock up the shelves of The Farmer’s Daughter for their annual holiday party.

Yes, it’s been a logy week, trudging along, this aggravating little bug nagging at me.  It’s going to keep nagging at me throughout the weekend, but I will prevail.  I have to.  Snot be damned.

WWMPD

Lately, it seems, I’ve been overwhelmed with things to do.  Did I say lately?  My to-do list is always never-ending, as I’m sure is the case with most modern-day women today.  Men too, for that matter.  Not only is it about the to-dos, but also about the metaphysical aspects of life, the act of keeping things in balance, the keeping of my very tenuous mental health.

Sometimes I find myself staring at the screen of my computer, trying to think of what to say to strangers on those convoluted social network sites (social + network = very uncomfortable situation for self-proclaimed hermits) the myriad of tasks, philosophies, cognitive exercises and then more tasks goes whirling through my head.  I know I should be doing something other than staring at the computer screen.  But what?  Then I remember my mentor, my idol, and ask myself WWMPD ~ What Would Mary Poppins Do?

When I face a technological dilemma on the computer, Mary advises me to Step In Time to keep up with the advances.  When I’m just dead on my feet and absolutely sure I can’t do another thing Mary advises me to take a spoonful of sugar for a boost of energy.  When I have no motivation Mary advises “once begun is half done.”  And when I’m running ragged Mary advises me to simply Feed The Birds for a little relaxation and reflection.  Mary Poppins is practically perfect in every way so why not turn to her when faced with the questions and challenges of life?

In honor of Mary Poppins and her superior example I’ve created a magnet to remind me in times of need, WWMPD ~ What Would Mary Poppins Do?  Because I’ve found this magnet so helpful in my own chaotic and twirly life I’m offering to make one just for you.  Because really?  That’s probably what Mary Poppins would do.

This magnet measures 3 1/2″ X 2 1/2″ and is unbelievably strong.  It’s only $5.00 plus a little extra for shipping.  If you’d like one for yourself you can buy it here.  If you’d like more than one, send me an e-mail at auntiebswax4u@yahoo.com.  I’ll set you up.
