Make me like her....
"Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness."
~Proverbs 31:25-27~
(just for you Jenn)
Who is she? This woman that is so reverently talked about in the proverbs? Who were they talking about? Was she real? Because if so...From hence forth, if someone should ask me "If you could meet and talk with/have coffee with (whatever) with one person who would it be?" I shall answer "The Proverbs 31 woman". And if they shall persist and ask me why I will tell them "Because I want to see how she did it all."
I want to follow her through her day. Obviously...my typing this is already doing something she wouldn't of, even if they'd had internet back in the day. Because this, I'm thinking, is eating of that bread they mentioned at the end there. Granted, this is my therapy. When my creative juices flow, there's no stopping them. They just flow on out and into my fingers, causing me to tap tap tap away at the little keys on the keyboard.
Idleness is tricky, it's crafty. Because I can easily spend hours here on this internet looking up ways to save money, and save time, and quicker ways to get stuff done around my house, when really...All I need to do is get off my hiney and DO IT. I wouldn't NEED quicker ways of doing stuff if I didn't waste all my time looking for said ways.
Besides, after countless hours of research, I"m convinced they don't exist.
So there. :-P

save time - stop surfing the web ;) Right - that's my biggest 'time waster' too. But it does make me happy and happy mums deal with little children much better than cranky pms mums. I've researched it too. Happy is better.
Hehe, too funny. But too true! I definitely spend more time on here than I should ... but like you say it is my therapy and it makes me happy. Like Jenn said, Happy mums deal with kids better!!! AMEN!
Oh SO true.. I ask myself what I did with my time before the internet/ before the laptop? Hum... cleaner house maybe? Na!!!
I want to be like her as well!
I agree.. Happy Mum's deal better! So, Happy I am.. sitting here at my laptop and NOT Cleaning!
HUGS
