The Pro in Procrastination

It's no secret. I am a serious procrastinator. I often find myself with due dates, dead lines, or stuff that has just been put off to too long staring at me from random corners of the room, and yet I manage to find something else "more important." Here's today's procrasti-map of events:
- Wake up at 10:30 and bid The Man farewell as he heads off to work. Think to self, "Congratulations! You're up before noon! You're gonna get so much done today!
- Watch weather channel and decide today is a great day to open all the windows. Open all windows.
- Wander around downstairs before signing onto computer and checking email. Open current art project and review work that was done two days ago.
- Go to neighbors house to feed cats. Remember that neighbors have HBO so it's a good time to see what movies are there to watch.
- Watch Brokeback Mountain. Be mad at everyone who watched this movie and never told you that it drags on forever and has no point or direction.
- Check mail.
- Take shower and then spray down shower with chemicals so it can be cleaned later.
- Add a couple more items to current art project. Progam is being difficult. Uninstall and reinstall programs.
- Heat up and eat Corn Dog Meal tv dinner.
- Pay bills.
- Read online comics.
- Hang papertowel holder that has been sitting on counter for two weeks.
- Look at art project again. Print out a couple pages.
- Take sheets out of dryer (from three days ago) and upstairs to be folded.
- Start folding sheets, half-way through remember last night's dream.
- Search for J's dream book for meaning of dream. Dream book doesn't even list robot. Ocean says "see SEA" and Sea says "see WATER" Give up on stupid dream book and finish folding sheets.
- Put sheets away in linen closet and smell cleaning solution that was sprayed in shower earlier. Oops! Forgot about that. Clean shower.
- Pick up random items and put away.
- Write return address on previously paid bills.
- Write Blog on procrastination.
So I'll admit it's not my worst day so far of not doing what I really should be doing; like the time I didn't want to write a speech so I cleaned all the filters in my vaccuum. It could be worse, I could be sitting on my ass all day watching tv. It's only 5:45. I may yet be able to finish what I need to...
