Procrastinating

Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator.

It's ridiculous!

Things at work have been hectic lately. I'm taking off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week to attend my mom's big happy Mexican family reunion at South Padre. JT will be in attendance. That must mean we're in it for the long haul! He is wonderful.

We're also going on a minitrip to Dallas with my dad to his uncle's 80th birthday this weekend. Tomorrow's my daddy's birthday, too! He will be 47, but I don't think he's a day older than he was when I was born. He has aged well, if you can even call it that! He also tore ligaments in his ankle because he goes to work way too early in the dark. He's okay, though.

Anyway, my boss is implementing this new time infrastructure, which I am super pumped about. We have divided the responsibilities and given each one an alloted amount of time. You have no idea how excited I am. I thrive in systems. Give me a system or a deadline, and I might procrastinate, but I will find some way to get the job done.

The only tricky thing is adjusting. With less than a week to prepare, I'm not caught up. If I were completely caught up, I could hit the ground running and crank out press releases and booksignings all day. Plus, I'll only be there two days next week. I am going to attempt to accomplish five days' of work in two. We'll see. I'm very lucky that they let me take "vacation" this early--even if they do want me to check my email at the beach.

See, you can still procrastinate even when you're not in school. I'm supposed to be working on a few stray press releases, but I was so stressed today at work that I went to Old Navy and splurged on some clothes. It was my first clothing purchase in a very long time! Then I went with JT to Mimi's and we took our friend a shirt that says "My Daddy's Dreamy and so am I!" because he just found out he and his wife are having a girl :) I think I'm ready now........

........To start press releases, not to have a girl!

WHOA.

Oh, and by the way, when I went shopping tonight, I bought clothes a size smaller! And they FIT!
