Procrastination Woowoo!

Let the excuse train begin. Well, I am embarrassed to say yet again, this is the third day that I have thought about not posting and the blog is three days old. I must say it is a darn good thing I didn't think this way when I was conceiving children and other important things in my life.
Today I put off finding all of the hard copies all day for as long as I could. Then I spent time with the kiddies when they came home which is an absolutely reasonable excuse for procrastination.
So now the kiddies are all tucked into bed and I have found the hard copies, and a few more unfinished projects. I have books and drawers and bags and corners all jammed with bits of my life and ideas scribbled onto bits of paper, (I really would prefer putting it in order, and compiling some bit of work from it, before one of my kids find it while they are in therapy, and writes a compelling tale of their crazy mother) I have unfinished Crochet projects and kids craft projects and so on and so on. I believe I will end up updating the list of things I need to complete on a weekly basis, maybe on Sundays.
Anyway, I spent a bit of time reformatting and changing the description on my blog. This shouldn't be considered procrastinating, because I was spending time on the blog even if it was writing something that has already been written. Then I got thirsty and remembered that I was planning to open a bottle of wine, but I don't have any. My fiance reminded me that we have a sparkling bottle in the fridge. Actually the lovely stuff was purchased by my very best friend in the whole world in my whole life. She brought it over on Christmas, and I don't know why we didn't open it then, so here's to you Ms. M.P. you know who you are Cheers!  P. and I are having a few glasses, I am celebrating the fact that I finally got something done about these projects, and he is enjoying the flavor. I wish you and Z were here to share the birth of my blog. Ha Ha, and although you are not, I want you to know that you played a very important part in this blogging experience, adding one more reason to procrastinate with your beautiful bottle of Belcanto DiBellussi.

Now having filled myself with the social lubricant, as P calls it. I must put forth a question. Although I have no followers at all. I know of not one soul who reads my blog yet,(no insult to you P. because you are my fiance you have to read it) I am hoping that I get a bunch of readers tonight, even if it is family and friends, because I don't think I should be the one that picks what  project gets done first.  I am going to list the informal project titles without telling you what they are, I want everyone to tell me by name what they would choose to finish first.

  1. The Art of Madness
  2. Herself has crossed the line
  3. Memories of Lace
  4. Morpheous and Emily
  5. Banshee or Faerie in the lane
If everyone picks one of the five and leaves a message for me I will choose the project with the most votes to start. As I was going through my hard copies, I found snippets of sentences even. The worst thing I found is novels with no character sketches or outlines. I feel like I am starting from scratch. The really good ideas of course, are still present in my head. On the other hand I found some awesome poetry that I don't even remember writing, but its good.  All right I think I am done for the evening so I am going to do some research now and find me some followers.
