Planning Ahead is Overrated

K Man was like Mr. Incredible of the Valentine world this year.

Me: Don't you think you should start writing your Valentine's? This is Monday and Valentine's Day is on Friday.

Him: I've still got time.

Me: Okay it's Tuesday now so you only have tonight, tomorrow night and Thursday to write out the Valentines.

Him: I've still got time.

Me: Okay so Valentine's Day is tomorrow. It's 4:30 now and you go to bed at 8. We should probably get those Valentines written out.

Him: I've still got time.

We finally compromised and he wrote his name on 25 Valentines. No names in the "to" box. Still a lot of writing for the boy with dysgraphia...which is why I wanted him to start earlier so he could spread out the time. But, you know, he still had time.

New Addiction or Phase...Phase probably sounds better

There is a new-ish business in town where you go and drink wine or beer and follow along with an instructor to paint an easy-ish painting that you get to take home at the end of 2 1/2 hours. I went with a friend a couple of weeks ago and promptly went out and bought myself a tabletop easel, acrylics, and brushes. I'm now channeling my inner Bob Ross.

This was my first attempt at a painting on my own.

We have sky. We have water. Very blue.

 Then the moon showed up.

 And a tree sprouted from an island.

Not too bad for my first attempt.
