C O, I seem to have a lot in common with everyone commenting today. I know about that ER visit. My son did it twice! Once he stuck a broken green crayon up his nose. (We were in a waiting room at the photographers for a formal photo session and they had a children’s corner with crayons and coloring books) It was really hard for the doctor to remove a crayon that was actually melting! My son had green coming out of his nose the rest of the day! No pictures taken that day. Another time he stuck a bead from his sister’s play jewerly set up his nose. That time I used long tweezers that I had used in nursing school and removed it myself (after sterilizing the tweezers). What a time that was. He was so cute, blond, with blue mischevious eyes. He still has that look in his eyes and he is 37 years old now. Time does fly.
Dab-a-do…Thanks for the story…Yes she is 2 1/2 and it was our first experience with her putting something up her nose…She did it at daycare and it made her nose bleed, so they assumed she just scratched her nose b/c the teacher saw her w/ her finger up her nose and didnt bother to look to see if it was something else…I am just glad it wasnt anything else worse!
I get up extra early so I can procrastinate. Then after reading the morning paper…..I watch Regis….then Kathy Lee and Hoda. This morning I am off to a hair appointment…….so I can’t procrastinate and much as I would like!! Have a great day all!!
wowowow is currently my favorite form of procrastination. that and e mail. which i can rationalize as getting something done…
Definitely wOw. I have a million things to do in the course of a day and I find I distract myself with reading what’s up on wOw.
Knitting or crocheting. I have many projects going at one timeand it keeps me from doing what needs to be done sometimes.
So many of us love the internet…what did we do before Google? I can be in the middle of a job I dislike, such as folding laundry, and think of something to look up on Google. Then I am sidetracked and find the neglected pile of laundry a couple of hours later, full of cats. I truly enjoy searching out new info on the net, so I don’t think of it as procrastination.
Carol - I wasn’t going to get in on this question - just was grateful that so many of us have the same idea about spending out time BUT - you got me with the cat/laundry illustration. Just yesterday - I piled a load of freshly dried warm clothes on the bed and of course got distracted with something else (WoW probably!) - came back to find both Miss Pounce and Mr Ponder totally buried in sweet warmness -almost not even visible. Warm clothes and happy kitties - of course I couldn’t fold them then - they were serving a purpose - so off I went to some other endeavor! Getting sidetracked is my favorite form of procrastination I’m thinking!
Yup, I’m like Liz, can spend a whole day reading….anything….doesn’t seem to matter what, just let me read!!!
I procrastinate changing my closet from season to season. My closet isn’t that big, so I have to rotate things whenever the seasons change, and that isn’t my favorite job.
my computer is also my method of procrastination…whenever I have something to do that I don;t really want to I sit down and open my email….or WoW….and forget everything I’m “supposed” to be doing…LOL
I simply cannot rest or do anything meaningful until I read and cut out all of the receipes in mags and newspapers (I also visit the foodnetwork and print them out). I collect cookbooks too, love to review the receipes but rarely cook anything from them because I dont have all the ingredients or moreover the time. But the receipes in mags, etc have a “Container Store” plastic holder full of them in my basement. The ones I think I might use any given week are in an accordian folder near the kitchen area—just in case. My grand plan, when I retire, is to lovingly put them in notebooks or “cookbook scrapping” I call it. I have the books, etc. I am way too much a foodie. Anybody need a receipe for anything?
