I Have Issues

My first issue is that I am unnaturally obsessed with fat quarters. This means that whenever I see some that are visually stimulating to my occipital lobe I snatch them up and purchase them regardless of price, the amount I have at home waiting, or the complete lack of planning I have put into what I will be doing with them. This has begin to get me in trouble. I have a quilt waiting at home for some more fabric that I can't find anywhere because I bought 8 fat quarters in North Carolina just on a whim, and once I came up with an idea I was home, and lacking necessary coordinating fabric to begin working on the quilt. Looks like I will be ordering that fabric online, yuck. I also have a few other projects in the works waiting for me to miraculously find coordinating fabrics for. Fat Quarters, please stop tempting me!
My second issue that I was going to write about has slipped my mind....maybe my issue is that I forget things. Oh I remember! My second issue is that I have begun planning for a stress free Homemade Christmas. As you may remember my goal is to have things done for Christmas so that I can enjoy the Holiday's instead of stressing out. However, this has lead me to start planning and buying for Christmas in early October. I have also begun waking up in the morning and realizing that my first thoughts are about things I am going to make, how I will wrap them, making homemade wrapping paper, traditions I want to start so my hypothetical family can have traditions once my hypothetical family exists, and on and on and on. Yikes! It is exhausting, let me tell you. I hope this feeling ends soon, although I think my "early planning" might just turn into "extended holiday prostration" (That's a new word, I used a thesaurus). Anyways today I bought some "necessities" for my early holiday extravaganza, and now my brain is spinning!
I must go to bed before my head explodes. Did I mention that midterms are soon and I should be studying how a stoke can effect your swallowing, not dreaming about making stockings for my grandchildren.
Goodnight!
