Distractions are abundant. Right now an adorable one is padding back and forth behind me, making faces that tempt me to grab the camera and follow him for the rest of the day. Another is wobbling teeth in what I swear is going to be an entirely tooth-less mouth before long. Another is singing a tune he composed yesterday, making me ache to jump to the piano and knock out a few of my own inventions...
But I can't.
See, tomorrow is the deadline. I'm not a procrastinator. I've been nimbly ambling along for an entire month...and now October is almost here. Tomorrow is the last day.
AND (speaking of pleasant distractions) I was awarded the Versatile Blogger by A.E Martin, Cheryl, and Barbara V. Evers. Thank you ladies! Can you feel the love?
3. Pass this Award along to recently discovered blogs and let them know about it!
See what I mean about distractions? Now I want to go hiking. Oh how I miss my mountains...
*Ahem* Tomorrow is the last day. Enough with distractions (you wonderful blog-a-rific world!), I have a draft to finish.
What's keeping you from your goals today? Have you recently reached a goal? If so, what did you do to celebrate?
But I can't.

So seven things about myself (as if two weeks ago wasn't revealing/embarrassing enough)...
1. I wrote and illustrated my first book while in the 2nd grade, including a surprise ending. (And no, it wasn't a school assignment.)
2. Once in a universe long ago and far away I was the best unicorn artist in the galaxy. (3 yr old artist, that is.)
3. My brothers were determined to train me into a ninja. (Ask. I know all about stealth and technique.)
4. I had a "My Girl" relationship. Instead of dying he moved to Idaho and builds violins.
5. I auditioned and made it into a madrigal choir with over 350 applicants for 12 spots.
6. I still can't dance, despite #5.
7. The daughter of a 20+ year scout master, I can pack it, hike it, repel into it, spelunk it, scuba it, ascend it, and rough it. High adventure, you are my friend.
