At any rate, you may have noticed my lack of posts last week. It appears the winter blahs, or spring bunions, or something equally annoying, has provoked a hibernation response in me. I have been going to bed so early it's ridiculous! I do apologize and will exercise better self-discipline and get my posts done earlier in the evening if possible.
There's always so much to do, isn't there? Day job, housework, family, friends, miscellaneous freelance work items, daily chores... I wish these things were more fun. Cris recently mentioned the Flylady (if you don't know about her, go visit - the site is amazing!). This site has really helpful tips and ideas to help you accomplish those pesky chores and daily interruptions. I have some friends (and family - I can't believe we're related!) that find real joy in housework. I do love a sparkling clean place with a wonderful fresh smell (NOT from air freshener!) but find the chores to achieve it rather un-fun to the max! Isn't it funny how the sheer repetition of laundry, dishes, etc., can feel like a forced march in full gear, dragging on for hours? Yet repeating tangles endlessly simply has time flying past, completely unremarked! This week's challenge by the Diva was a good reminder that you CAN do anything 15 minutes at a time. I'm going to try to push this tomorrow night and get some REAL WORK DONE in the basement.... wish me luck! (the good kind please - just in case! *G*).
Happy Tuesday!
Boy are we on the same page as regards housework! BOOORRING! No question there. :-)

Oh goodnees, I send you the 'good kind' good luck with bells on! Put on some dance music and flick the duster like a feather boa!
ReplyDeleteYou pulled this off in 15 minutes...WOW! Impressive!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually difficult to believe that this is two dimensional paper... it looks like you could pick up that question mark (leaving the background tangles visible). ♥ it's lines and flow!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And I so relate to the house work. And I know why Zentangle and housework are both repetitive things BUT... creating gives me a result that I can see even after a year, but dust is back in half an hour and I cannot see what I've done LOL
ReplyDeleteWow... this was a great 15 minute tangle... that question mark is great... hope the basement cleaning went good.. feel the same way about housework.. just too much all the time.. at least when you finish a tangle.. it's done and stays that way...lol
ReplyDeleteI like the question mark. It makes me think.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are done cleaning your house ya wanna come help me!!! Tee hee.
This is an awesome tangle. How did you do it all in 15 minutes? I agree with the cleaning and zentangling being repetive but polar opposite activities. I love your use of "zen zone" too.
