Oh the things I do to avoid cleaning...

I am becoming a master at avoiding cleaning, and my house is starting to show the damage of that. I am what is called a procrastinator ----I put things off as long as possible. So, as I was sitting here tonight (avoiding cleaning of course) I thought about all the ways I keep myself from just getting the cleaning done...

1. Blog - this one should be obvious, I mean...I am doing it right now.

2. Read all my old blogs - yup, did that today too - it was kind of fun

3. Play Sims, Life or Clue on the computer - I can get lost building houses on Sims for hours when I really work at it

4. Wander around to see what Adam is doing - this only works during the hours that he is home

5. Pick up a book I've been wanting to re-read - and when I am avoiding cleaning, I want to re-read everything

6. Search the internet for odd facts or the episode breakdowns of old tv shows - this can really eat up time.

7. Make plans for the school year - I think I have made up my daily schedule about 20 times in the last week

8. Look through my cupboards for chocolate - I know I haven't bought any, but for some reason I keep thinking it will magically appear there.

9. Rearrange all the fans in my house - I am seriously trying to keep the place cool without running up my energy bill

10. Stare at the mess I am suppose to clean and try to uncover some sort of magical power that will zap it all away without me doing a thing - yeah, that hasn't worked---I wonder why?

Well, a few more minutes of cleaning successfully avoided. I guess now I will have to get to work....Maybe....Sims are calling me....No maybe Life...Maybe Adam wants company downstairs....Maybe I have some chocolate stashed somewhere....
