Procrastination!

First of all, this is a very fall-tastic color for my font and I'm loving it!

Second of all, this post is pretty much nothing more than my attempts to find something to do - other than schoolwork that is! It is a lovely day! Chilly, but not freezing, with a big blue sky and a yellow sun. As a result of such a lovely day, I am feeling rather musical and feel like dancing around the kitchen in my socks (it's easier to dance when you're wearing your socks) to all the love songs I recently downloaded for the Women's Retreat. Yet, I can't be dancing because I have a TON of work to be doing. So instead I'm listening to music and fiddling around on the computer and still not doing any of the work I need to do.

Let me just sum up how this is working: I don't want to do anything that needs to be done and I want to do everything that doesn't need to be done; and that is precisely what I am doing. I feel like Paul. "What I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate I do." Just reverse that and you have a perfect description of my current activites.

I kinda feel like writing but I have several dramas and papers that need to be written and I can't really feel justified in writing some nonsensical future book stuff when I have other items that legitimately need to be written. Sigh...it's forever the struggle between fun and work. Work loses that battle about 99.99999999999999999% of the time.

You know what else I want to do? SHOP! It's fall, leading everyday toward winter and I cannot be more excited. I get to buy new clothes this winter because all my old ones no longer cover my stomach. It's weird how shirts do that. The sleeves are fine, but the rest is too small. Anyway, there are shirts and pants and belts and boots and purses and hats and scarves and jewelry and mittens and jackets and about a zillion other things calling my name and saying "Buy me! Add me to your wardrobe! I'll be the perfect addition to your already bulging closet - I promise!" And I am listening to them; and my closet is growing and my bank account (this is just figurative as I don't really have my own bank account yet) is shrinking! Warning: If you already have a shopping addiction, DO NOT go to Europe as this only feeds one's desire for accessories, fashionable clothes and cute hairstyles! Yes, it's true. I fell victim to the European fashion craze. It's the only logical explanation for my spending an hour curling my hair today for the Missionette's sleepover this evening. Crazy I know. It's like I'm girly now or something weird like that. Tomorrow's agenda: Shopping. (I think I need an intervention!)

Anyway, this is a long post as all my posts seem to be. I shall bring it to an end and attempt to get some work done before this evening. It's really not looking good though - I must admit. Oh well. There's always Monday! :D
