the one with my 200th post (and lots of ways to procrastinate)

I have this huge paper looming over my head. Its due on Feb. 17. I need to write 20 more pages in 15 days. And yet I can't do it. I sit at my laptop, organize my notes, open my paper and .... nothing. I can't figure out where to start or what else to say. This is the worst case of writers block I've ever had. But I have gotten very good at procrastinating:

- buying the new Norah Jones cd. very good.
- making pumpkin bread. also very good.
- watching tv (not one of the more creative options, but still useful)
- organizing my bills and my filing cabinet
- cleaning, dusting and laundry
- picking out new pictures to put in my frames
- reading ahead for class
- cooking yummy dinners
- walking Latte
- bathing Latte
- learning to crochet
- napping
- online shopping

Hopefully I'll get inspired to write soon before I end up pulling an all-nighter.

Fun in the Burg: Last weekend Brian and I went to a game night with some people from school. We played old school games that I hadn't played since college like Catch Phrase and Taboo. It was really fun. Kase, the most embarassing Catch Phrase word was "flacid", but luckily it wasn't mine because the person definitely had to make a reference to male parts. Awkward. This week it has snowed twice in the Burg. The snow hasn't lasted long or turned the world white, but its still pretty and happy. I love watching it fall and I love getting my hopes up that class will be canceled. Supposedly we have another chance at snow next week...the low on Tuesday is supposed to be 12. Crazy!!

Cheers: to going to see Because I Said So this weekend. Hope its good!
Jeers: to law school

I can't believe this is your 200th post!! I'm only at 125, or something like that!!!

Old school games are fun...and awkward at times!

Press on friend, I know you have it in you to get this paper written!!!
