AS EASY AS 1,2,3...

Playskool Mr. Potato Head, originally uploaded by Patrick Q.

Hi. I'm Patrick, and I'm a blog slacker.

I've been a busy beaver this week, trying to get some more auctions up on eBay - like this Mr. Potato Head, for instance. Photographing everything I own might sound overwhelming, but I'm making it, with the help of my handy dandy pad and pencil. Whenever I have a large task to complete, I get a funny feeling in my stomach that doesn't go away until I make a list, breaking the job down into manageable units. Anybody else ever feel that way? I remember my elementary school teacher showing me how to make a list. I'm eternally grateful!

Speaking of grattitude, I had the nicest surprise waiting for me at the Post Office today. Julie, one of my internet friends, sent me a box of art supplies! I am overwhelmed with her generosity, and I will thank her personally. But I wanted to acknowledge her gift here, too; I think thanking Julie here is most appropriate since we met through this blog. So, Julie, I receive your gift as a blessing from God. THANK YOU! Your kindness meant a lot!
