My priorities: slightly flawed

My one goal for today: 
* Finish Fathers.

What I actually did: 
* Bought very nice underthings for half-price at DJs (50% off Simone Perle!)
* Went to four places looking for the perfect under-eye concealer that would mask dark circles without looking like I had little pale grey puffy pillows under each eye instead (failed to find any, damn my non-yellow-toned skin!)
* Purchased a nice Kala tenor ukulele for $100 off! 
* Learned to play a scale and two chords on said ukulele.
* Hatched plans for one-woman Vera Lynn Tribute Show (am semi-serious!)


If I can stay awake for another 120 minutes and type very fast, I might still be able to hit my first priority ... Though it is already 1am ...

Dear one please, please, for the love of all good things, type very fast. Though I am of course glad that you enjoyed the rest of your day and sorry it's one am for you already. but Fathers, the end in sight, so near and yet...

I wait with a patience I hardly knew I possessed for the end of this piece.

Yippee! A ukulele!

I hope you get to finish what you need to do, though.

I can't tell you how much it made me smile to see the ukulele on that list. It was just so random. I love it.

I think you should write it while sitting in your glorious new underthings, ukulele near at hand.

Pictures of you playing the ukulele or it never happened! *g*

Re: under-eye concealers...I swear by the Lift Concealer from Make Up For Ever. They have pink-beige! Not sure if it's available where you are, though.

I'm definitely looking forward to Fathers, too. Glad to know it's almost here. I've loved that series since the beginning!:)

As to your non-yellow skin tone *blows raspberries at you out of jealousy* :DDD

I leave the country, get out of whipping distance, and you are completely out of control!

Although I am giving serious thought to that underwear. >.>

And then my brain went to you doing Tiny Tim's TipToe through the Tulips with a ukulele, wearing Simone Perle!

*pokes you*

I have to give you credit: that is the most convoluted writing procrastination technique I have ever heard of, including over a decade of teaching first-year composition. :) That said, it looks like it was helpful. Looking forward to seeing the end of Fathers. . .

Nothing is more important than underthings. You can be wearing a sack, but you have to love your underthings! Yay underthings! And underthings + ukulele? Bohemian.

You bought a ukelele.

Seriously, what is there not to love about you? <3

If you can play a scale, you can play anything!

I noticed the ukulele the most here. Where did that come from? Have you played before or did you just wake up today (yesterday?) and decide that you wanted to play?
