I am not so good at that. People ask me for things and, of course, I say yes. And sometimes I get myself in hot water because of it. Suddenly, there's a deadline looming and I have to scramble and stay up late and be cranky. Most of the time, it's yarn stuff of course. Someone wants something and the next thing I know, I've got no time (because I admittedly like to procrastinate) and I have to just get it done. And every time I do this to myself, I swear I'm not going to do it again. Yeah, I didn't learn my lesson once again.
I sent the BFF a text and said, "I've really got to learn to say no." Her immediate response? "What do you have to make now?"
It's really not a big deal this time around. One scarf. That's it. The ruffly kind that I made before. Won't take me hardly any time at all. But it's a slippery slope and the next thing I know...I'm scared that someone else will ask for something and yes will pop out of my mouth before my brain kicks in.
I've really got to learn to say no. I just don't know if I have it in me.
