CHA - crunch time already?!

The recurring question I have been posing to myself this week at work goes something like this:

How can I possibly be running behind in planning for the CHA trade show when the shipping crate isn't even back from Quilt Market yet?

And then I realize (again) that the image I had been carrying around in my head throughout the most stressful part of Quilt Market prep, the image that conveyed that after Market a walk down Easy Street would be my immediate destiny for at least a little while, was actually just a coping strategy, and it's time to get real. Ah well. At least I am starting to see Easy Street on the dawn of the horizon now, coming up right after I return from Chicago. I swear it is really there this time.

With all these plans I am putting in place, I should probably extend those plans to include the clenching of Easy Street. Just in case it starts to slip away...
