I have a suspense file. That is a file which holds monthly folders where I put things I have to deal with in that month. Other people call it other things, but I call it my suspense file.. cuz I have to suspend working on it until this moment.
So at the beginning of the month I pull that months stuff. In my October file I found a paper telling me to set up a moment in November to go with my Mom to buy the ingredients for Fruitcake. Yea… our schedules are so busy we have to set up a November appointment in October! lol
But the note DOES herald the beginning of my end of year tasks. Decorate the house for Halloween. Arrange for Fruitcake weekend. Go to ABM Conference. Thanksgiving. Send out another mailing/email blasts. Resort expenses for Royalty payments at work. Pay Royalties. Pull P&L statements. Prep for end of year sales taxes. Ready the businesses for Income Taxes.
Oh.. and Christmas. Sheesh… don’t forget Christmas!
So you see my Planner Brain as it lays out my tasks ahead. But another part of me mentioned something I had completely forgot.
I still have 3 fruitcakes in my fridge. My share from helping Mom make last years batch. 🙂
So, of course…. I HAVE to eat them!
After all, in just over a month I’ll have 4 more!
Needless to say, Evan is in Heaven.. Cuz he LOVES Grandma’s Fruitcake.
Wait until he finds out, this weekend, that Sex God loves Fruitcake even more than he does!
