The Queen of Procrastination
From Alesia
I have a three-page-long list of things to do, and yet so far? I’ve crossed off five items. “Do nails” being one of them.
I’m either pathetic, or I’m the Queen of Procrastination. So, borrowing a tiara from my daughter, I’m here to give my Top Ten Royal Ways to Avoid Doing Anything Productive:
1. Watch the morning news, and try not to yark up your oatmeal when you get a full-color view of Katie Couric’s esophagus. Fascinating technology, but, you know, yuck.
2. The internet – ah, the lovely internet. E-mail. Blog sites. Need I say more?
3. It’s mid-morning and the oatmeal has worn off. Snack?
4. Phone calls to and from friends and family. Amazing how many people I’m desperate to reach out and touch when I have work to do.
5. Read OPB. (Other People’s Books)
6. Personal grooming. My nails, hair, and eyebrows never look better than when I’m on several deadlines concurrently.
7. Check e-mail again. Something earth-shattering may have happened in the hour since I was last online.
8. Napping. All the sleep deprivation of the past several years catches up with me and I suddenly think my pillow is calling me.
9. See #2 and #7.
10. Oops!! Time for the bus! Kids are home, so I can’t possibly do any more work until tomorrow . . .
Alesia, glad to be queen of something

OMG!! ROFLMAO!! Are you sure we aren't sisters seperated at birth by different parents?! Because that is EXACTLY what I am doing today--well, obviously the kids are home since it's Sunday, but that's even more of an excuse NOT to do anything.... And my husband left me such a lovely list of things to do while he was at work too. (sigh) It's a real shame most of it won't get done!! LOL!
