procrastinator's mantra

today's adventure includes:

1) waking up early to a phone call from a girlfriend hurting/in distress... at this moment, boys are stupid.

2) a real estate agent called to show my condo at 12:30... so i went to the copy store to make new brochures (reflecting the new price, etc. ...which took about 2 unplanned hours)

3) stopped by my friend's parents' house (the ones who came for Thanksgiving dinner) to deliver the pumpkin bread... I forgot to give them their loaves before they left on Thursday night - they were very sweet, thrilled with the bread, and appreciative of the gesture i think.

4) went to the craft store because i had a 50% off coupon... found a craft tool thingy i've been wanting. instead of $6 it was more like $3. ...helps me rationalize my purchasing when there's a coupon involved

5) went to another store to find mom a cable clip - something for her electric lawn mower power cord - those things can get so out of control! and she admired my clip which kept the power cord in a nice, tidy package.

6) went to hardware store to buy screw anchors... to put into my plaster walls... so i can start hanging things up. we'll start (um, i'll start) with something simple - you know, like a key hook.

7) oh, i bought a drill and a new rake today, too. the leaves are falling like rain, and the lawn mower is struggling to keep up...

8) now i'm tired... didn't get to see the movie... the gas grill isn't assembled (no surprise there)... and i haven't baked anything yet. it's near dinnertime... perhaps i can do a few more things before it's time to turn in for the night. oh! laundry! must do laundry. so perhaps baking will be put off until tomorrow... there's always tomorrow.

..."there's always tomorrow" - a procrastinator's mantra :)

[*update* went to the store to get a fun head massager toy thing - it looks similar to a wisk... you know, what beats the eggs. but the ends are open, with little metal balls on the end, and you kind of push it down from the top of your head and it moves over your skull to massage the muscles and stimulate nerves, etc. can't wait to try it out! it's almost out of the box as we speak. i'll try to find a link... it's a funny looking thing!]
