After the hubbub

It's funny to think the hubbub of April is over. Or that it's ever over. There's more coming this weekend - family staying here, hopefully a birthday party for two Parkers, Amy and Todd's reception, a dinner with my brother's family on Sunday. I guess I like hubbubs. I like quiet times too but I feel most content and satisfied after experiencing a get-together or tackling a bunch of jobs in a couple days' time.

I like lists. I like writing things down, looking forward to getting them done and crossing them off when completed. I'm antsy. I can't sit still for too long. When there is a to-do list I have something to fill my time - I study the list, find something to accomplish and get 'er done.

I love memories. I love looking forward to creating them. I love being in the middle of creating them and I love thinking back on them.

My list these days include more hubbub - getting ready for it, planning each event, listing what needs to be done. And then the memories will come.
