I start projects all the time and get almost but never quite done.
It's been 4 years and my pink and purple house is only 75% painted. Inside and out.
I started a handmade quilt while trying to get pregnant with Jack.
think Like Water for Chocolate.
It's balled up in the bottom of my closet not. quite. finished.
3 or 4 years ago I told my mom I'd recover seats of her dining room chairs.
No biggie. Just scissors and a staple gun. I think I got 5 done.
I promised Sister Halona I'd finish the rest so we have somewhere to put our tushes on Thanksgiving. We'll see about that...
My Ganesh tattoo is finished. But all I had to do was lie down and open my wallet.
Does that sound dirty?
I still haven't posted picts. I will.
I wish it was still warm and I didn't have to cover it up all the time. I love it.
Cultural Sensitivity: A 3 Part Series only has 2 parts.
And that's probably the way it will stay.
I did see Toothless Mom of 6 yesterday with 4 of her kids and since I'm in a place of more compassion with myself and therefore the Universe my Grinch Butt isn't so big these days. Or small.
You know what I mean.
And Kim.
I've been wanting to write about Kim for months now.
But like I said, I'm not so good at finishing things.
She's fund raising and granting wishes.
She does NOT give up when things get tough.
She does NOT leave half finished projects on the bottom of her closet floor.
Nothing is 75%.
She does NOT defer her dreams. Kim does NOT like raisins.

So. Go visit. Check Kim out. Leave some good love.
I can't wait to see the tattoo picture. I'm so deep, of all you talked about in this post, that's the part I comment on.
ReplyDeleteI love you. Happy "Rape of the Native Americans" Day.
I have a scarf upstairs which I nearly finished knitting. I started it with my granny. My grandfather was looking on telling us not to bother "because I'd never finish it anyway." I got so close to finishing, just needed one more bit of help from my granny. Somehow I never asked her. They are both dead now. I have to either finish it or throw it out. I can't just have it sitting there for too many years.
ReplyDeleteI'm not good at finishing things either. I may or may not finish a master's degree in 10 days.
ReplyDeleteWe've had some families this week that make me feel a bit Grinch-buttish.
Hope your holiday is lovely. xo
Movie is full of shit. She'll be finished in 10 days. Easy Peasy.
ReplyDeleteI have a good excuse for not finishing things. I'm an Aries. Enough Said.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, thanks for an unfinished life :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right; Kim's awesome. Thanks for the link!
