Deadline

“A perfect method for adding drama to life is to wait until the deadline looms large.”

Like I need any more drama in my life!!! Oh well I have only myself to blame for this one.

However, I might do another hat but I have until the 26 to finish that! Yes a whole extra day! I feel pretty good, I was even able to get the Raspberry Chipotle Sauce done today also! Now I just have to basket and wrap things! It can be done! I have....
