Guess what I did for Sterling for Valentine's Day? I framed his Baylor diplomas! Hurray! He graduated in 2005. Yes, I'm totally on the ball.
Lately I've been giving some thought to tidying up unfinished business. For instance, we bought a rug liner/pad for the rug in our living room AT LEAST a full year ago. It's been sitting, in its original packaging, in the master bedroom closet for the entirety of that year. It took all of ten minutes to scoot the furniture back, roll up the rug, put down the pad, and replace everything. Also, last weekend we replaced the knobs on Becca's dresser...several of which were injured in our move here six years ago.
I know this all sounds very shameful and irresponsible. And surprisingly, when I complete these silly, simple, yet ignored tasks...I feel all proud of myself. Like, "YES!!! I replaced those darn knobs. I am a worthy human being." --not even kidding about that.
Today I'm framing my own Baylor diploma and going out hunting for an enormous lightbulb that recently burnt out in the kitchen. See? I'm not going to wait six months. That, my friends, is a little thing I like to call progress. Try it. You'll like it.
Oh Sarah, you are always putting yourself down. I know you don't mean it but I will tell you again that you are all that plus gifted and talented. I love my loose ends and unfinished business.
