Jokes and Messes

Dear Webernets,

I’ve made such a catastrophic mess of my crafting area that it’s hard to see how I will be able to remedy the situation.  I have somewhat managed to calm down after my two days of cleaning and organizing, but … this is what happens when I take into my head to redo everything all at once.  One would think it would be enough to simply put things away, but alas…  I cannot help the situation.

Truth is, I’ve felt more than a bit scattered and unsteady in the mental region lately, and attempting to put the upstairs gray matter into order always and inevitably results in reorganization of the physical spaces in which I exist.  It seems to be the favored method by which I manage to think things out and organize my thoughts.  If this is any indication, I have been feeling very scattered indeed.  I don’t believe I’m at all the only person who falls into this sort of behavior.  It drives my dear husband beyond nuts, though, because “cleaning” is never simple and he does prefer the ease of the status quo.

Did I mention I moved all the furniture in my bedroom by myself, too?  Oy vey.

So, did you notice it was April fools yesterday?  Any good jokes you noticed?  I certainly wasn’t going to post yesterday, it was an intentional absence.  I confess, I’m a total failure as a joke-teller. It never works out for me. I miss the punchline, or forget it entirely, or my timing is off, or whatever. If you know me, chances are that I’ve made a joke and you never realized and I inadvertently insulted you.  Consequently, I never do an April Fool’s joke, because I know that you would believe what I said, even if it was April 1st, and then I would have to explain, and then … well, then you’d realize just how poorly I tell jokes.

If you will excuse me, I must go organize more.  Did I mention I spent all of yesterday morning at Jo-Ann’s?  See, it’s the season change, which means SALES, and I’m nothing if not a totally cheapskate bargain hunter.  Helpful also, as I’m trying to replace a lot of tools right now.  I also realized that end-of-season means that new fabrics are afoot, meaning that the fabric section has a lot of half price bolt-ends and discount samples and such.  I returned home with four bags of goodies.  I paid full price for 3 items.  Ha!

Pardon, the new Wordpress system is freaking me out and I have to go play with it.
