So no matter how much I love what I do, there
are days I MUST focus on things that do not have me singing like Julie
Andrews. No whiskers on goats-es, nor Roseys or kittens... (Let me
interpret: these things involve numbers.)
Don't get me wrong. I have a
vast respect for numbers. For all my creative ideas...for all the free flowing,
stream of consciousness, "Wonder why somebody hasn't come up with one of
these?" moments in my day (of which there are many) nothing, and I mean NOTHING
comes to fruition without a number. Be it a book, whose dimensions
are first (will it fit in the rack? how many to a case?) whose page count
is a second (did we include enough recipes?)...be it a barn (whose square
footage determines the area it winds up in, determines the lumber we need for
it) ...be it a
(Squirrel!) As I write, with numbers on
deadline, and papers strewn before me, in the background SharkTank plays...In tonight's episode-- two college girls
really into sustainable living, want to save the world with a company that makes colored paper plates from recycled paper, and their
slogan is: "To save the world, throw a better party!" (Ok. That's one I hadn't thought of. I thought sustainable was about not adding to the trash heap.) Let me get this straight: We're going to party our way to sustainable living with throw
away party plates~hmmmm.
(Then again, they're on Shark Tank and I'm home paying bills...Probably best I
not judge it. They might just have a better mousetrap...What do I know?)
