Okay, I worked two days straight and procrastinated.<BR/><BR/>Yes, my husband and I both passed along the procrastination gene to all three of our children. We were hoping it would skip a generation but...<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for sharing. :)Karin Huxman - Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631036942444502510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816746674662103255.post-61878939319167189412008-04-24T17:58:00.000-07:002008-04-24T17:58:00.000-07:00Karin:I have three main activities in my life -- w...Karin:<BR/><BR/>I have three main activities in my life -- writing, quilting and gardening. I alternate procrastinations -- and they all work together to help me avoid housework. What a great life!<BR/><BR/>I got my thousand words in today -- even though I know I should have done more. I weeded and planted some seeds in the garden. I washed dishes three times -- and ignored the quilt that needs some work picked out. One of these days, picking stitches out of that quilt will be the most attractive option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816746674662103255.post-5821736968928034202008-04-24T17:54:00.000-07:002008-04-24T17:54:00.000-07:00Thanks for passing along the procrastination gene....Thanks for passing along the procrastination gene. I find myself blogging (or reading other people's blogs-- surprise!) when I'm procrastinating. There are a lot of sites online that make for great inspiration, but sometimes it's just an avoidance strategy. When procrastinating art projects I often find myself wanting to draw everything <B>but</B> what I should be drawing... <BR/><BR/>Going to the gym is also a good tactic because I can always argue that it's good for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816746674662103255.post-70318464502223487212008-04-24T16:01:00.000-07:002008-04-24T16:01:00.000-07:00There must be something in the Great Collective Un...There must be something in the Great Collective Unconscious that decreed today "blog day" for writers. I hadn't posted on my blog for weeks, but today was the day. It really is a great form of procrastination. Which reminds me, Karin, I haven't yet posted your link on my page. I've meant to, and I will, but...<BR/>I have checked my email though and managed to take a few turns in the two online Scrabble games I have going. I didn't make my word count in the novel I'm working on. OK, I'll admit it, I didn't write today. I blogged! I procrastinated. I'm guilty! <BR/>Tomorrow won't be much better either, but there's always Saturday...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816746674662103255.post-78994090691324248652008-04-24T15:53:00.000-07:002008-04-24T15:53:00.000-07:00Truly, some days I'll find any reason not to write...Truly, some days I'll find any reason not to write, then feel bad at the end of the day because I didn't. Don't think I ever used vacuuming behind the refridgerator as an avoidance strategy, though.

LOL I have my eyes examined(hours ago) but I'm sticking with that excuse...er...reason for not being able to walk. The light hurts my eyes. Being creative people, we writes can come up with some doozies for excuses not to write too. One day I found myself vaccuming BEHIND my refrigerator--and I haven't cleaned my house by myself since the seventies!Lori Avocatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633297524819507503noreply@blogger.com
