Time Management
Two recent time-consuming projects:
1. The fake IKEA Expedit-ish shelf. I wanted something for under the painting in the living room, so I built this in the same style (square-sized shelves, outside dimensions double the inside pieces, dark stain). Actually, the bottom shelves are big squares, the top ones are little squares and in the middle is space for CDs. We had an old little TV with a built-in VCR (that won't work--it turns the whole thing off whenever you put in a tape) and the stereo got moved from atop the piano on the other side of the room cuz nobody used it there. In the picture you can see the edge of the real IKEA.
2. The band. This is actually a project for work, something not usually mentioned in these pixels, but it's been so big it's spilled over into everything not related to what I do, too. You can see my old Washburn in the picture, with the blue Kyser capo that Chris Funk signed. And the drummer has some electronic drum things that require a PC (ew) to work. She has no actual drum kit. We've now got about 6 kids that want to play guitar, which could make a very interesting orchestra! I've rehearsed with them but don't really join them onstage. I'm more their roadie and sound engineer. I will say it's an exhilarating challenge to play with other people. The whole time I'm thinking to myself, "Damn! I've got to practice more!"

I sort of flipped through this post quickly and for a second I thought I was looking at before-and-after photos, like you snapped your fingers and your family transformed into into a little jam band.
my god, that happens to us all the time!
do you know how to make it stop?
