And I am finishing the singles started from a cinnamon alpaca whose fleece I was selling at CFR2012:
No real developments in spinning since the last episode
Strategy:
Use a calendar and a wristwatch. Please.
Put a Lid On It:
Pinterest, Facebook, and saving the good stuff you find.

Strategy:
Manage procrastination by picking a limited time period daily when you can do the task you dread.
Put a Lid On It:
Inspect your gear for canning when the pickling season for cukes begins this month! And use the really hot weather to can those pickles that do not require a hot water bath, just a sterilized jar.
Something I Really Like:
Archery! And the current vogue of archery for girls!
Blather:
CFR news, as always.
Did I mention I'm shooting archery again?
After a cute pic of my son, did you really think I'd leave out the cute picture of the puppy?

Strategy:
Select your groceries from the outside aisles in an American supermarket, if you want to avoid the bad additives and processed foods.
Put a Lid On It:
It's getting too hot around ehre, so the kitchen is quiet this week.
