I Don’t Want To Get Well

Posted in Etsy, tagged , , on November 16, 2011| Leave a Comment »

It seems a bit odd, someone sick or injured not wanting to get well. But falling in love with the hospital nurse would make any suffering worthwhile…I guess.

There’s been a sick person in my life lately, and although I don’t imagine he’s falling in love with the hospital nurses it seems he doesn’t want to get well.

Throughout the trials of the past two weeks I couldn’t get this song title out of my mind. The sheet music cover art for the song I Don’t Want To Get Well has been made into a magnet and is available in my Etsy shop.  Bizarre yet sweet. Sad yet funny. Take it anyway you want and if you want it for your own you can buy it right here.

WWMPD

Posted in Etsy, tagged , on November 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

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.
