Procrastination or Checking Off the To-Do List?

-


Which do you tend to do?
Me?
Well, if you read this blog at all, you will be able to guess.

I would say I tend to do BOTH, but I do tend to procrastinate in getting things crossed off the list. 

If you aren't sure what I am talking about, you may want to click here for how I am always running late, click here for the times I am losing track of the days, and click here for what to do if you waste an entire morning (I have done that a few times you see.....).

Specifically, procrastination is something that plagues me regularly. I do tend to complain about it, too. If you need proof, click here for one complaint in October, and I actually did two posts in November, here for blaming writer's block, and here for vowing to give up this talent of procrastination I seem to possess. 

It's not that I don't try! I DO have lists, plans, I have good intentions! 

In fact, just this week, I made a list, and planned what day I would do what on the list. However, the things I planned yesterday to put off until today now have to be put off again. Not because I don't want to do them you see, I can blame the weather today! 

The things I have to do involve warehouses, and spending time in them. As it is a wee bit cold, 15 degrees right now and quite windy. The high is expected to be a whopping 22 degrees. FAR too cold to go spend time in unheated places. I can wait until tomorrow, when it is supposed to get a little warmer, say above freezing.

Plus, today I was going to get back to running. My 'rest' time is long over and I really need to get back out there. (the candy and cake I scarfed down over the holidays are really 'weighing heavy' on me!) Well, frostbite is not worth it in my humble opinion. I can wait another day. 

So what else is on my list? Grocery store. I HAVE to do this one. 

I was supposed to go yesterday, but I procrastinated, figuring I could squeeze one more day out. So now today, in below freezing weather, I have to go get the food pantry staples that we are now out of. Bread, milk, Diet Coke, etc. (yes, a staple in our house, not me, hubby.) This I cannot put off. The wrath of hungry kids and hubby is NOT worth it. 

So you see, for me it is not one OR the other.  It is BOTH.

What about you? 
Are you a procrastinator, a 'check it off the list'-er, or some crazy combination?

    Bean, thanks for stopping by! That is one thing I love about NaBloPoMo, meeting new bloggers.
    It has been tough so far this month, did it again yesterday and procrastinated writing, even tho I got other things crossed off my list.
    Here's to a 'less procrastinating' month!!

    Sandra, I kept my gloves on through most of the store, especially the frozen food section, lol.
    Good luck squeezing another day, you have to be creative for sure.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
