Whiteboards are the devil. Those words best sum-up the month of May.
Usually when you get done with a task (like getting home from work, or finishing a chore) you sit down and lazily think about what you should do next. It usually only takes a minute or two, but it is a relaxing minute. I have ruined those minutes.
This month we hung a whiteboard in my office. It was mostly to help me keep my side projects straight (what needs to get done next). But, I added a section on it for household chores, home improvement, etc. This is great because it helped me to be really efficient and get lots of stuff done... but it also makes it so easy to see what I have to do next that I don't get to sit and think about it for 2 zoned-out minutes.
But, the good news is that Tamara's BDay went great, as has all the home improvement we've done this month (including installing an above-ground pool to cover up a patch of weeds I just can't seem to kill). My side projects have been going great (including one I got drafted into recently by some old mission buddies).
This month was our 3 year anniversary. Each anniversary has a corresponding material (silver, gold, platinum, etc...). I decided that this year was Macramé. So, I built a life-sized statue of Tamara out of vermicelli.
Just kidding. We were pretty lazy this year. I don't really have any time off to waste because the baby is due in june, and Tamara has been pretty achey and had lots of early contractions with this pregnancy, so we took it pretty easy.
Well, I think that does it for us. Here's hoping Macramé anniversaries catch on ;)
