i have said
this before
but
i have
a lot
of stuff.

tons.
of.
crap.

projects
waiting
to be done
that i have
literally
been dragging
around for
10 years
waiting
to be finished.


{2 birthday bots
3 months late}

for instance,
i have
a
rusted bottle
i found
on a beach
and
rusted out box
i found in
a barn
that i have
had for
6 years.
they are
carefully
wrapped
with newspaper.
the newspaper
is now yellow.
i have
moved them both
at least 4 times.
i know
what i want
to do with them
but
i haven't
gotten
around to it.

my dad
(chronic pun-ster)
use to
hand out
round tuits.
because
my family
says that
so much.

unfortunately
knitting
has
exacerbated
the problem.
big bags
of yarn
sitting
for years
waiting
to be
a sweater.
often
sitting
so long
that
i no longer
like
the color
anymore.

sad.
but
so true.


{1 sweater down,
5 to go}

i am trying
to remedy
this problem
by using
what i have
to get things
done.

slowly.
but surely.
i hope.

you?
