Mars, you scared me! Deadline is today, May 22! I thought I was just cutting under the wire with my Grandbaby (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=189671&cat=3634)!!

[MarsOlson]

Mars, you scared me! Deadline is today, May 22! I thought I was just cutting under the wire with my Grandbaby (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=189671&cat=3634)!!

:eek: I scared myself thinking I was late! :cool: So maybe the secret for me to not be doing a mad dash at deadline :dance: is to write down the deadline as a day earlier. :confused:
