What I'm Doing On A Below Zero Day
Today was a good day to hibernate. The temperatures in the northeast were well below zero. When my husband left for work last night the thermometer read -21 degrees. Many schools in the area were canceled for the day because they couldn't start the buses. It was a good day to stay inside and work on another quilt. And I have too many of them unfinished.

Procrastination 101
Definition: to put off taking action until a further time; be dilatory...to defer or postpone.
Okay, I have to face it. I'm a compulsive procrastinator. I'll put off anything that doesn't inspire me. That includes paperwork, housework or any other kind of work. Maybe the answer is in finding an alternative to the word 'work'. To me, work about as exciting as changing a baby's messy diapers. Bleak picture, isn't it?
All kidding aside, I have been putting off adding to this blog. It's not that I don't want to but I've allowed everything else to distract me. And now I see that it's been almost a year since I last posted. I admit I'm great at starting things but continuing or finishing...err. I haven't been up to this point. I join too many forums to keep up with. And projects? Ovey!...here we go again.
So I'm here turning over a new leaf. I started with cleaning up my bookmarks (they do get out of hand, don't they?) and I'm vowing not to spend as much time on FaceBook, especially with those free games.
