Dust on the books, procrasination rules!

Here I am - typing this blog. I have just rearranged my cook books. They have a new home now and they look very nice sitting just outside the kitchen, all in a neat little row. What does this have to do with my day and all the things I am supposed to be doing? Absolutely sweet FA.
Nada. Zilch-o.

It's funny how a looming task that worries us enables us to do another task that we have completely ignored for days, weeks, even years. Suddenly you just HAVE to clean out the drawer with all the take away menus. Or that sock drawer is looking pretty dubious, better check it out. Meanwhile the laundry is not folded, the bills aren't paid, your homework for your degree (in my case) is waiting to be completed, the playroom is still looking like an outtake from the movie Twister. The bathroom? Been in there lately? Oh, yes. That's a task for the next procrastination episode - sort through the bottles of lotions and potions collected but not used much lingering in the cupboard. Oh, that one will be fun because I can stop and smell everything.
Or not.

Right, so if this blog is going to take me away from the task I SHOULD be doing (there is therapy in there right? If I WANTED to do it I WOULD be doing it....blah blah blah) then I will express something meaningful. Something worth your time to read. Not just my ramblings about things I do when I should be doing something else. Ok. I can do that.

But not now - I've just looked at the clock. Fun time over - I have less than 4 hours to get my boo-tay in gear before Ms. 4 year old returns from school and then the 'i can't get a thing done's' REALLY begin.

Until another time. Oh, wait a minute, look at that big stack of magazines on the floor!! Surely they need my attention!!
