Things I have been doing to avoid writing a report I need to do:

sitting outside in the sun

brushing the dog

reading books

sweeping

taking a nap

going for a walk

going to the gym

searching realtor.com listings for houses in places I want to (but never will) live

cleaning out my purse

organizing my computer desktop

uploading photos

pulling a few weeds, half heartedly

watching West Side Story

thinking of why I don't want to write the report

making lists

considering paint colors for our house exterior

deciding what to have for lunch

taking myself out to Subway for lunch

watching YouTube clips from my Facebook friends

asking Facebook friends how to overcome writer's block

thinking of ways to postpone the report's due date

sorting through the fridge contents

taking kids to orthodontist

clearing out my texts

reading about dog training

googling random names from my past

laundry and folding 

watching TiVo'ed Lost and 30 Rock

and

now

this

post.

I can be so productive when I'm avoiding something.

Report is due tomorrow

Dear adrenaline, you can kick in anytime.

help. I've fallen into procrastination and I can't get up!

Out in a field of snow with a balloon

This is me.  {Not really, but figuratively...}

I'm fine {see? I have a balloon}

but am doing a bit of wandering

from project to project

trying to figure things out

and get things done.*

More soon.

Wish you were here.

*Including (are you really interested? you have a list like this, too, I'll bet): doing a young women program (slideshow, talk) last week speaking in church this week teaching my class  reading and preparing lectures for my class Greg's birthday tomorrow taking a class on teaching enjoying the snow with the kids getting a little exercise running a household writing a qualifying paper yes, going on Facebook (friend me!) oh, the laundry too many orthodonist/dentist/doctor appointments to name thinking about writing but not writing because I want to do it well and keep procrastinating fretting and stewing doing January clean-out (half-hearted) trying to cook good meals corralling my crazy fanciful ideas or setting them free...
