Meet the world's largest procrastinator - ME! Just ask my fiancee. I'm horrible at getting unpleasant things done when I don't want to do them.

The garage door story made my entire week. Good for you! He totally deserved it.

Good luck with the remodel. You're right. It'll be a lot of work, but it'll be worth it in the end.

Boy - I needed that back when MY first husband was cheating on me. Reminds me of a card I once saw -

The front of the card said, "I ran into my ex the other day"

And the inside of the card said, "And then I backed the car up and ran over him again!"

Good luck with your overhaul project. Sure you want to start this BEFORE the holidays?

I too am a procrastinator. I propose to you my dear, that together we stop our bad habit of putting things off until later. What do you say? Next month you and I will stop procrastinating and start taking care of things in a timely fashion. If you're in, call me later. 8)

64 comments? Girl, you GO! What could I possibly say that hasn't already been said? Other than you GO!

I agree that the hardest thing sometimes is just getting started. And that I'm the biggest procrastinator, especially if I don't know where something should go! I've been known to leave things in a corner of a room till they virtually disappear (at least, in my mind they do!) and then one day, *poof!* I figure out where they need to go and it's done!

So, good for you! Now, write that check! 'Cause taping and drywall are NOT FUN!

I am a procrastinator as well. I have days when I can push the feeling aside and get things done, but most days it's a battle.

As far as crashing into the garage door, that is something I would love to do, but don't have the courage to do (or the money/insurance to cover it after I'm done). I do however have a punching bag, and will occasionally buy some plates from the dollar store and break those. I always feel a release of emotions when I break or punch things. and a $1 plate is something I can manage to pay for. :)

I can't even begin to imagine how good that really felt. congrats to you!

This post is so me...the procrastinating part anyway.

I usually go on a good verbal rant because I am cannot seem to get up the courage to get physical...although some day I am sure the reigns will break and with it all hell...can't wait:)

Great post.

You have a south-west side of the house?

Sweetie, if your house is large enough to have its own compass points, I have to admit I'm struggling to feel your pain in this instance. ;)

2009-11-17T09:10:45.086-05:00

Good for you! I found that moving every couple of years took care of junk closets and drawers. But, now that we have lived in this house for the past 6 years the stuff is starting to accumulate. I just went through a junk closet yesterday and threw a bunch of crap out. If you haven't used it in more than 6 months, toss it. It's very liberating.

I've always wanted to know exactly how that wo...

2009-11-17T07:04:33.556-05:00

I've always wanted to know exactly how that would feel and it sounds as though it is as great as I'd imagine. :-)

About your procrastination issue, well, that only gets worse when you have too much time on your hands because you always think "I have tomorrow". It comes and still nothing. A timer, and index card have now become my best friends.

2009-11-17T01:05:26.096-05:00

My but that is hilarious! I agree though, breaking things is very therapeutic. I had to help chop some wood a few years back with my father and wow did it help me with so many things. Not to mention the tension between my father and myself. Glad you enjoyed yourself, and may the BMW RIP even if it would have been funny to watch you do that to it ;)

2009-11-16T21:41:22.323-05:00

I prefer not to think of it as procrastinating but rather, delegating things to be done later I an excellent at making to do lists but not so excellent at to-doing the things on those lists. Bah. We are just making sure later is interesting, if we did everything now, later would be boring. Yea, thats it.

Sometimes, you just have to give in to your feelings. He's lucky that's all you did! Great story! Good luck with the remodel.

That’s a great tale there matey. And it sounds like you have two great parents there as well.

And may I just add that I am your friend, and in no way would do anything to piss you off.

Just for the record....

2009-11-15T20:11:49.067-05:00

Good for you on the whole, let's trash the ex's shit! I never had the courage. I'll live vicariously through you on that one.

As far as the remodel, I guess we got the same bug at the same time. Last week, I tore out the carpet in my bathroom and put down some tile. And when I say "I", I mean all by myself. Chris didn't even know I was going to do it. And today, me and my son cleaned out the garage.

Feels great! Good luck on the remodel. Make sure you take pics along the way.

2009-11-15T18:18:46.646-05:00

There's a great line in the movie 'The Holiday' where the elderly gent says to the Kate Winslet character: 'You've been acting like the best friend when you should be acting like the leading lady,'which leads her to stand up to the crappy guy who treats her like dirt.

My life's not as exciting as yours, Nancy, but my husband and I have always found chopping wood great therapy, too. Good luck with the reno, leading lady.

2009-11-15T18:03:44.604-05:00

FABULOUS! You're my heroine, Nancy! I wish I would have found my voice like that when my ex left to move in with his (20-year-younger) mistress! That must have felt so awesome! I applaud you! Now, where is that sledge hammer... I feel like smashing something!

Hey Nancy! As a Brit, I'm a lover of the underdog and anything surreal. I cheered for you as I read this, seeing you bite back outrageously AND come out on top. And yes, bless your parents! Indigo

2009-11-15T17:29:58.169-05:00

I think you should write down a list of tasks for tomorrow and what times you will complete them. Before you go to bed tonight, imagine doing them all - really, vividly visualize it. And when you get up tomorrow, look at the list and get right on it - you'll be surprised by how much you get done!

What a great story ~ it comes right out of things that we have always wanted to do but were too chicken to. Aren't catch all rooms the best and the worst things ever! I wish you the best in your remodel project and finding permanent homes for all that "stuff".
