This Is How the Cookie Crumbles

Before I get to the real point of this post, I must share one of the thoughts I had yesterday. We all know people that are different. You know, those people you don't consider socially "normal". However, as I sat and pondered on the character and personality traits of a certain individual I know I realized how many ways I could be a better person if only I were more like them. They are always smiling, they are so well-versed in the Gospel, they are incredibly humble and they are always willing to serve. Funny how those people that are a little weird are often such good examples. Which makes me wonder who's normalcy spectrum I'm using when I assess people, including myself...

So onto the cookies. I have so many thoughts going through my mind and lots on my plate (Clara, work, blogging, my houses {yes, both}, life, church, cute neighbor kids, commitments, our taxes, the list never ends) but here's the deal. My life needs a little order, my house needs a lot of order and I have given myself until the end of this month to get things in order. I've decided other than eating, sleeping and showering the only other thing at the bottom of my priority list is blogging. Since being organized and being starving, tired and stinky would cause me a whole new set of problems, including health issues, I have made a personal commitment not to blog until my house is in order. Blogging itself isn't necessarily a huge time waster and the journaling aspect of it makes it worth it. But my problem is I use it to avoid getting other things done, which results in me wasting a lot more time than I would if things were in better order around here. I can't just do it for 15 minutes if I have work/housework to do because I dread whatever it is I'm avoiding. I know this makes me a liar because I made promises of posts to come. They will come, just not soon. So, wish me luck, miss me and hopefully I'll get things done before the end of the month.
