Schelp! Schelp!

It's that time of the year when I get so busy my head is about to burst, only this time I took on four extra tasks for the show. Usually I just go, do a book signing or two, maybe have a personal appearance and then get to walk the show floor. This time, as I mentioned yesterday, I took on more...

much more...

much, much more...

...perhaps more than any one human can accomplish unless they're super human.

Ergh.

I've been at full tilt for weeks on end and until CHA is over, the pedal is firmly pressed against the metal and I'm flying down the Autobahn of life without even stopping for snacks and tasty beverages. Why have I done this to myself? Why, last night, after dinner, did I finally have the brilliant flash of inspiration about my Designer Showcase table...which requires me to do even more work this week? Why?! Because we really need the money and because I am simultaneously impatient and anal retentive. It's an interesting combo.

That and I'm not so secretly innately lazy and enjoy staring into space and contemplating the meaning of life whenever I can slip it in between the cracks of my current insanity.

Yesterday I accidentally spelled schlep "schelp"...which is I think a subconsciously generated elision for my plaintiff cry for help combined with the first letter of CHA and the cuss word I'm feeling at having gotten myself into the pile of doody I'm in by trying to spin this much straw before week's end.


Schelp.

Schelp!

Anybody?

Magical helpers?

Oompa Loompas?

Evil minions?

Out of work actors?

Anybody?!

Ugh. Okay well I shall persevere my dears, but don't expect any thought provoking posts until I return from Chi-town. I mean, I'm only human. Though we will have a brand spanking new The Impatient Crafter^TM video for your viewing pleasure before week's end. Yeah, I stopped spinning straw on Saturday to crank out a new vid with the fam.

That's exactly the kind of nutball I am.
