Procrastination

I only have about 15 minutes to write this post, and that's because I procrastinated for a good hour today. Of course, I've been trying to write a post for this blog for at least 2 weeks. But whenever I had time, I either didn't feel inspired to write or I was too tired, another form of procrastinating.

I'm a serial projecter see. I love to start a project, and I'm usually really enthusiastic about it at the beginning. Just look at the early entries on this blog for an example. Or the quilting projects I did last winter/spring. Or my photography.

Then my enthusiasm wanes, and I procrastinate because I'm just not inspired at the moment. That would be why I haven't posted here in a season. And why my sewing machine is sitting in the office in its case. And why there are lots of pictures on my camera and in my folders that you haven't seen.

So today I am making myself write even though I'm not particularly inspired. I've had great ideas for a post about my serial projecting over the last few weeks, but I can't think of them right now. I'm hoping that if I keep typing, one of them will hit me and make this post a little more readable.

Nope, it's not coming. So instead, maybe I'll just post a few cute pictures of our goings-on lately.

The only 2 pumpkins we carved on Saturday. That is Harry Potter on the left and Sonic on the right, in case you were wondering.

And I'm out of time.
