A is for AAUGH!!

I hemmed and hawed about participating in the A to Z Challenge this year; it's time consuming, it's not called "challenge" for nothing, my previous Pinterest Challenge themes have run into some money. 

The Virus That Shall Not Be Named took care of my first two excuses. I certainly have plenty of time now that my teaching job at a university child care center is on hiatus, as is my second job at a photo studio. I could certainly use a challenge right now, as all I've done the past week and a half since the center closed is eat everything short of the cat food and play candy crush. 

Then there's the matter of a theme. The daily letter parameter of the A to Z Challenge works amazingly well with the Pinterest challenges I've been doing in years past, but I didn't want to spend money I now don't have on materials necessary to create all those Pinterest projects. Now that we are (or are supposed to be) sheltering in place, all those emergency trips to the craft or grocery store for supplies to finish (or start) a project AND write about it before the midnight deadline would not be possible. (And yes, I could have planned all my posts and procured the necessary materials AGES ago, but that just wouldn't be me.)

I've decided to resort to my usual fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants approach to life and take it one day at a time. Here's my list of topics for the month:

(I just showed this list to my husband, and he did a classic double take, complete with Roger Rabbit eyes.)

It's a process, but I'll get there, because I'm no quitter.

By the time this Challenge is done, we all may wish I were!
