Get 'er Done

Sounds like something Tow Mater from Disney's Cars would say.

Or maybe that Rascal Flatts would sing.

In my corner of the world, it's what the subdivision ladies do the first Wednesday of every month. Except that in my corner of the world the subdivision is called the sub, kind of like every carbonated beverage is called pop.

We take what we would like to 'get done' to the host's house, and socialize. I'm trying to remember more than five names. I know the two across the street, our eye doctor, and two other ladies. I've met most of the ladies twice, and a few years ago I would have the majority of the names down by now. Getting old is killing my brain cells.

This is what I took last month to Get er' done night:

I had to carry it all in one of those heavy-duty reusable Whole Foods bags. Heavy, indeed!


This really makes me look like quite the magazine/catalog girl, which I'm not. It had just gotten a bit out of hand and backed up since the apartment and the move. They just got thrown aside for later.

My goal at Get 'er Done was to go through them, tear out the recipes, design ideas, articles, or whatever I wanted to keep, and flip through the catalogs to make sure I wasn't missing anything, which is always a bad idea.

I got through four. Yep, four.

It took me several hours the next day watching Matlock and Clean House to go through them all. Because really, it needed done.

And another day, I'll show you what I do with all those torn out pages, because today I have to plan for tonight's Get 'er Done.

And it needs to be more productive than the last.

I'm thinking about taking a little Christmas ornament to cross-stitch. I started it, oh, eons ago, and I pick it up every so often. Problem is, I'm not sure I can see it without the progressive lens glasses that I ordered that are on their way.

Umm-hmm, you read that right. Good news is, since I'm so horribly near-sighted and my glasses correct my away vision, I can still see up close if I don't have my glasses on. Or I look under them. Tricky, I know.

But I have nothing else to take to Get 'er Done that I actually think I can get done.

And I really want to have something to show for it.
