The film, Willow, is one of Genius Golfer's favorites. It is a fantasy story of good vs. evil and the hero is a little magical dwarfish guy named, Willow. As Willow learns his powers and sets out to conquer the evil that he must face he often gets ahead of himself and at some point is told, "Patience, Willow." That line is most repeated around here. No one here is named Willow, but we all know what the line means and when someone says it to you you know you need to calm down and wait for a bit.
Yesterday I needed to say "Patience, Willow" to a couple people, but was on edge to start with and didn't get it out like as kindly as I should have done.
We bought The Girl some fabric for a skirt she wants to make for a Personal Progress project. She cut out the pattern pieces yesterday and I thought, we would get to it this weekend, maybe. No. She went ahead and cut out the fabric too. Apparently they don't teach the kids how to read a pattern direction sheet or how to set out a pattern on the fabric. So there is $10 worth of skirt pieces that may or may not work as a skirt. She was in such a hurry to get started that she didn't have the patience to do it correctly. I told her she didn't need my help, she can do the rest herself too.
Genius Golfer got the last of the shelves painted with the polyurethane sealant this week and put them up in the entertainment center yesterday. he told me that I can't put books on the shelves until they 'cure' and that will be about Saturday. Oh, that is good. We are having the whole fam-damily over Sunday fro Mother's Day and The Boy's ordination so that will give me plenty of time to load in my books that are supposed to go there. Then he begins putting scrapbooks on the bottom shelves. When I asked him what he was doing, he says he wanted to start moving books. I told him that wasn't a good idea if I can't add the rest of the shelves of book to the new unit before Saturday. I will do it all at once and get the old shelves upstairs and out of the way in one day. No. I should have said "Patience, Willow" but I didn't.
I stormed out and went for a walk instead. Someone should have told me "Patience, Willow."

I could be found many, many times at Newport Beach, all by myself while in CA. It worked better than hitting them all with a baseball bat!
