My Thursday 13 this week is a listing of the reasons why I am stalling on a pesky writing chore I need to do for work. I have been doing so since last Wednesday. I decided to do this list because I am in fact stalling right now.
1. I had a really bad cold and needed to get some sleep…even needed to take a day off work. I never do that…I was that sick!!
2. I needed to go shopping with my Vera Friends on Sunday.
3. I ended up working on another work related thing this past weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
4. I was admiring the fact that the leaves are changing and the view from my office is breathtaking. Seriously…
5. I had to review 22 reports this week that were due by cob Wednesday…I got them at 5:30pm on Tuesday.
6. I needed to organize a bunch of papers to prepare briefings for the bosses “book”…they were needed for Thursday…so I had to do them on Tuesday evening. That way they are ready the night before for review before Thursday.
7. It was more fun to think about what to wear for the AFI/Paramore show I am going to on Friday night. I’m thinking my black and pink chucks are a most.
8. There are some really funny shows on Wednesday Night…The Middle is like my new favorite (…favorite…). Brick is my hero!!! It was more important to watch TV and fall asleep.
9. Since November 1 is fast approaching, it is important that I begin to think about the names of my hero girl (I am thinking Ruby) and my hero boy (I am thinking Oliver). Names are so crucial…
10. My watch stopped working and I am trying to pick a new one from one of my favorite websites. They have all kinds of cool things to accessorize your medical alert medallions. I so wish they had these when I was a younger diavista.
11. The latest I can get this writing task done is over the weekend…so technically…I could stretch this out some more.
12. My sister got me a copy of Where the Wild Things Are…and I had to read it. I am so going to have to see the movie. I had totally forgotten that one of my other childhood favorites Pierre was also written by Maurice Sendak.
13. I am just not feeling it yet…and I can’t write until I feel it.

Let's hope your muse checks in before deadline. I really want to see Where the Wild Things Are. Now you've made me want the books as well.Love your list!
Happy T13!
I had a bad cold too. It's going around. I hope you feel better soon.
Ah ... let's hear it for procrastination!!! I'm a master of 'stalling' and working to deadlines at the last moment. Witness the fact that today I'll be working on my 2nd Blogoversary post for Sacred Ruminations to publish on Friday.
Sorry you've been sick and hope you feel better soon. Thanks for visiting my '13' at Happily Retired Gal. Hope you 'snagged the award' to enjoy and share with others.
I'm celebrating my 2nd Blogoversary at Small Reflections today and I'd like to invite you to visit when time permits. I've reflected on what I've learned in the past two years and created mega-collages of some of my favorite mosaics ... just because ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I am a procrastinator of the worst kind!! I haven't watched the Middle yet, I'll have to check it out. My watch broke this week, and I need to get a new one (I always like to know exactly what time it is, approximately every five minutes, and being without it is driving me crazy!!)
Thanks for stopping by!! :)
This is the story of my life!
I am very good at finding a thousand things to do besides the one thing that I really need to do.
I hope you can muster up the motivation to dive into it soon!
Good luck with those reports you need to read! Hope you feel better soon..
Here is my first Thursday Thirteen
