Operation: Procrastination

Sign me up! There - I got to say it and probably won't be the last.

It occurred to me to join the blog craze a while ago, but then I thought I would stress out about what to write. I take forever to compose what should be a quick email! But now here I am. And it has taken me all day to do it. I thought I would out grow procrastinating in 1998 when I walked the stage at Le Moyne (well, the War Memorial in Syracuse, but who's counting).



My intention was to get this started after work. But on Thursdays, my three co-workers and I always head to our favorite watering hole (is this what I mean? is this the right reference for a bar? I kant rite) for a couple of beverages, so that's exactly what I did. I have all evening for my blog. Three beers later... I apparently drink too much because it didn't touch me.

I got home around 6:30, but at this point, I am chatting away on the phone with my sister (the Queen of Sarcasm - she will bust your balls even if it's the first time she has met you). I finally end the call around 7:20 at which point all I can think about is food - PIZZA!! Yes, a wonderful, delicious Domino's Double Melt was on my mind. I think the order went in around 7:40 - I can't remember what happened in those 20 minutes; I must have blacked out from hunger. So what did I do while I waited for dinner? Nothing! ("I had nine months to work on it and did nothing!" - Brian Regan - best stand up comedian ever!). I didn't start my blog. I was too hungry to concentrate. BUT! I did turn on my computer in that time. Progress!



Pizza gets devoured, but now "Joey" is on. This is a Thursday night ritual; the Thursday night line up is like a security blanket...that and "The Golden Girls" (that's me and my girls in ___ years - let's not go into age right now). The computer is still on, I'm online, but now I am comfortable on the couch with Madison (the cutest, calico on Earth) anchoring me down. I am watching Donald the Hump Trump fire Maria...and Wes?! Whoa - exciting television. I didn't see that coming! ("I'm sensing your sarcasm." "I should hope so; I'm laying it on pretty thick." what movie? answer in a comment and I'll by you a beer while supplies last and by supplies I mean money).



It finally came to 10 pm, so I headed to my computer. Thank God it's on the first floor of the house...actually, that makes my procrastination worse. It's not like I had to go upstairs. I'm pathetic. Anyway, I'm a night owl, I still have plenty of time. So my advisor points me in the right directions, starting with my profile. Perfect! It's about me and I know me! Or do I? Good grief I even had a hard time filling that out! I can't figure myself out at 10:30 at night! But I did the best I could under the time crunch I had put myself in. I stress out about the craziest things sometimes. I think it's a chemical imbalance. That's why I drink - I hope to balance out the chemicals. But once I got started, the words flowed like wine. Hmm yum, I wonder if I have an open bottle?

Anyway, I really enjoyed my first experience at blogging. I hope I don't sound like an idiot but remember the title of my blog...

because I kant rite!!
