Accomplishment

I completed a project and it's only midnight. Christmas cards. Pictured is the prototype.
I made them from the old card catalog cards Kat, Claude and I swiped when the last one in use in the office was disposed of last year. It was a big geekouttotitlestypedonheavyweightpaperstock party. I remember us squealing with delight finding titles to our favorite books. We all parted with big plastic bags that were filled to capacity and sort of giving out due to the weight from the amount of cards. We picked out each one, reading two at a time, trading fast, gabbing and grabbing. When we finished and stood up, backs wrecked from an hour and half or more of stooping over cards and ransacking drawers, it was only then that I think we realized how gone we had been. I wish I could have saved every single card but ...uh, I didn't want to go from almost pack rat to down right hoarder. However, now that I found a use for them, I do wish I had more. I purchased a fancy paper puncher and it just sort of came together. Unplannedlike.

Inside I typed Peace On Earth with my Underwood.
Glad I put it to use.
It's been awhile.
Do I sound pretentious?


Good.
