Evaluate!

OK it is  a couple weeks into 2013 and I have not lived up to my promises!  I did work on one of my UFO's but not enough time, missed 2 meetings of  my guilds, weather and dental surgeries, but I am packed to leave to Palm Desert!   What are my priorities and why does this other stuff get in the way?  I let it!
Ok, is that good?  Yes, our life evolves at a rate we can't anticipate.  Life interfere always.  Let it.  The unanticipated is what keeps it interesting and fun!  I know, we have dreams and UFOS, daily making out lives wanting, but when the wanting comes, comes more.  There is always more that needs our attention and our interest.  I love the life that we may have tomorrow, the unexpected!
In leaving on a trip I have reservations.  Should I leave a list of UFOS that need to be finished?  Should I leave a list of my death wishes?  Will anybody anybody read this and tell my family?  I know they care but they wonder what THEIR MOTHER IS UP TO NOW!  Always keep them suspenseful.
I will finish Jocelyn and Elise's quite when I return and also make a new creation, what I don't know, for A Quilter's Gathering Quilt Show in November as I am I their Opening Night speaker with as a Fashion Show coordinator for their 25th Anniversary Fashion Show that will be great!  Everyone needs to create a wonder that will wow us!  Even me!
I am dreaming this costume and hope it lives up to my reputation.  I don't have a face or a name, not recogonised for me but what I wear, just a note that, I am the one who makes funny jackets!  Hard to believe my self has been replaced by my clothing but it is true and I don't care, as I long as I am remembered!
On a much lighter note.  I bought a new 8 thread Babylock Serger from Marie's Sewing Center in Woburn, Ma.  I have had the pleasure for 15 years to work with her, and she has had the disaster of having me as a customer.  Buy your next machine from her!!!  Through all our trials, well, mine giving her the trials, she has stood by, supported me and stood up for me when others would have run!  Run, very far and wide!  I am well known  for burning up the insides or a Juki Industrial machine, can't take sewing 15 hours daily without oiling hourly!   Also on my 5th Pfaff, Envison or Demon as I describe her!    Make sure you always pay insurance when you return your machine for repairs as people do steal them!  As what happened to number 4!  Ever been in a class with me?  No one will go to a  quilting get away and sew next to me as I rattle the table with my spend,  buy a Sew Ezi table, the best thing ever!, and leave my name as a reference, as I overwhelm you with my noise, and just plane piss you off generally!
Now, I leave for a rest, to contemplate all that IS UNDONE  and I feel renewed   I will finish what I started when I return and I will find inspiration to create a new wearable for  A Quilters Gathering!  I want you to do the same, in any order that will let you move on.  I know it is hard to reach others needs, don't.  Just reach yours, or the attainable.  Or, whatever makes you happy!
