I often feel like the Tazmanian Devil, like everything I do, is done in a whirl wind at top speed! Marty one the other hand is NOT a Tazmanian Devil in any way, shape or form! This means we are complete opposites and most of the time, this polar difference creates an awesome balance that makes our lives peaceful, exciting and fun. Every now and then though, it drives us crazy! Tonight is an example. After supper we had to head into the West Hills shopping area as Marty needed to pick up items to create booze gift baskets for the head offices of his accounts. I figured while we were there, we could swing by the grocery store so I could buy some pie making ingredients (I am making cherry pie for Christmas dinner at mom's.) The shopping trip was actually pretty quick. With the crowds in this city, how can you not be motivated to get the hell out of all shopping centers as quickly as possible. Once home though, Marty's productivity level seemed to slow way down! At least in my eyes!
I bounded out of the van, carried my groceries up the stairs and immediately started making a batch of caramel popcorn twists. While the twists were baking, I put together my pie and made a pitcher of Irish Cream, mom has a great recipe for this. :) In between all of this I must have done the dishes a dozen times! Marty, carried up all of the booze, arranged them into three baskets and wrapped them in cellophane....that's it, nothing else. Oh, my pie just came out of the over (it is 10:50) and Marty has just now started writing cards to put on his baskets. I am not leaving anything out, he didn't take breaks, he didn't even turn on the TV, he has been making three baskets since 8:30pm! The baskets are perfect though and to be honest, I think his progress was slowed by his little helper....check out the photos and you'll see what I mean. :)
