Procrastinators of the World, Unite! Later...


What is it about having a long To Do List that makes people like me (read: procrastinator) find a million other things they'd rather do?

Sure. I could go fold that load of laundry in the dyer. And, I could maybe try a wee bit harder to figure out how the eff I'm supposed to print envelopes via Microsoft Word. I should probably put clothes on my kids instead of letting them run around in Buzz, Woody and Mario pajamas. Plus, there's that whole Christmas shopping and cooking thing that everyone keeps telling me I need to do.

But, don't I still have like, five or six days before it's completely necessary or something like that?

I want to sit here and hang out in my yoga pants and sports bra. I want to make lists, not complete them. Who does that anyway? I want to listen to iTuens and download songs for my Workout Playlist (hello, everyone needs Eye of the Tiger). I want to make photobooks on Shutterfly and not order them and think about how many Oreos I need to dip in white chocolate and peppermint pieces to give to the neighbors. I want to watch my new futuristic washing machine wash our clothes with the tiniest bit of water.

Did I tell you we got a new washing machine?

It. Is. Awesome.

No, really. It's true. I mean, we literally stood over it all weekend, looking into the little window while it spun and spun and spun. It even has an allergen cycle. And a countdown clock. And it doesn't sound like hamsters are running around and around inside like our old one. Our clothes are so clean. No more holes. No more towels wrapped around the agitator. I feel so, I dunno...2011!

I want to hire someone to clean my baseboards and bathrooms while I sit in my comfy chair, prop up my feet and catch up on my bajillion and two Netflix shows. And Jeopardy!

Can't Christmas wait just a little, tiny bit longer? I'm not ready.

I managed to get my Christmas shopping done, and I don't have to cook anything - so I'm lucky. I only had one niece to obsess over for Christmas. The rest of the family was easy. And I don't know about you but - I work much better in panic mode. That's my excuse to procrastinate. I had two papers due for school yesterday. Guess when I started on them... yesterday morning! And they turned out GREAT! HA! So you just go right ahead and procrastinate - and those dipped oreos will turn out to be the best EVER! :)

I do the SAME thing on Shutterfly!!! I figure that if I get the book all made then when they have a good sale or coupon then they are ready to order.
And, I want someone to come and clean my baseboards too! And my ceiling fans, and doors, and window sills.
