A little bit of trouble

No work and lots of time makes mud get into all sorts of trouble. Well sort of. It at least gets my brain spinning. But I think you'd probably all worry if I wasn't up to something. The question is most likely - what is the something THIS time? Hmmmm.... well it wouldn't be any fun if I told you, that would spoil the surprise. But I've been a wicked little mff.

Other than getting into trouble I've been to college, been to high school and am spending precious little time at work. The economy is killing me. Along with everyone else it seems - I'm at the end of the slow economy. So you'd think I'd have all sorts of time to create boxes, hike trails and just get out and do it. Unfortunately - all its really managed to do is put me in a mental tail spin. My daily timing is tragically off - I no longer know when to eat and I haven't had a dinner with my family during the week for months. Ugh - oh to work a 40 hour week. Which, with my luck will probably come just as summer arrives in Maine.

But all is not lost. Teacup is working on keeping me sane. She has a goal in sight for me - 1000 boxes by the end of the summer. She's on the heels of 1500 and by now has probably accomplished this already. We are merging brain activity to pull together new boxes for our event-non-event in August. And amazingly enough - already pulling ideas together for August 2010 (which is when I really wanted to do the next event.)

I've toyed with some ideas for boxes. Have a couple sitting on my table waiting for a sure sign of spring (green grass) to plant them. Pulled two boxes for exposure (also waiting for greens to grow) and went out today to do maintenance only to find a geo riding my boxes back! Since the geo was planted on April 4th of this year - I know they are jumping into my hidey hole. I wrote my name in the thing and tucked it back under with my box - hiding them so they couldn't be seen.

Still trying to get some energy to pull things together. But I did plant one box in honor of my soon-to-graduate high school senior. I need to do more box maintenance on my series - I'm sure they are hanging out in the open. But its either raining or so windy you can't see in front of your own hand. But school vacation is next week - so the high school will definitely get a visit from me next week!

But just in case you're wondering - I'm still up to no good - just laying in wait for the next big foolishness to take place ; )
