Thursday Thirteen: Edition Uno

You know I can't pass up an opportunity to slack. And in honor of that...


Thirteen Ways P Avoids Writing



And this is just today's avoidance





1. Develops sudden urge to workout. Health must come first. Convinces self that trying to write while dead is awfully hard.

2. Stares into refrigerator and ponders whether Mountain Berry Capri Sun is equal to one fruit serving and peanuts in M&M's count as fiber?

3. Just as the laptop warms up, gets engrossed in the Spongebob episode where SB and Patrick are kidnapped by the Flying Dutchman for the hundredth time. "You're good, you're good, you're good."

4. After "quickly" checking email, fave blogs, Teen Chick Lit Loop and Blueboard realizes two hours have passed.

5. Stares outside at the lovely construction a mere twenty feet from home office. Wonders if she's passed by window naked at anytime that morning.

6. Thinks about all the things on the "to do" list for the day. Wishes she had more time to write.

7. Realizes that wishing can easily be converted into doing and opens manuscript du jour. Re-reads last few passages.

8. Falls in love with own witticism and begins to get lost in story.

9. Strange loud noise from the belly area reinforces that Capri Sun and M&M's does not a breakfast make. Feels woozy from lack of sustenance and cooks a real meal.

10. Remembers, Chris Brown is performing on Ellen. Decides to record it for Princess A then gets snagged into watching whole show.

11. Can no longer ignore Princess Bea tearing the house apart, decides to take a walk up to tot lot and unleash the little one on mother nature.

12. Curses overextended schedule (where does all the time go?)as she jets out the door to cheer practice.

13. Drags butt into the office at 11 p.m. and counts posting a blog entry as "writing" time.

I had to laugh about the Spongebob episode- my son and I have watch that one a hundred times.

As for the nakedness, I got sheer red curtains- I can see the construction guys down the street but not vice versa!

Very good list! I'm easily distracted and can procrastinate like the best of them.
