top ten tuesday

got a mound of dirty laundry waiting to be washed?  or how about stacks of dirty dishes in your sink?  or maybe you've got a massive test you have to study for?  a big project due?  well what better way to get it done than procrastinate!

top 10 ways to procrastinate (you know...prolong, delay, put off the inevitable):

1. facebook stalk. [it's imperative that i'm up to date on everyone's statuses and comment on every single photo i come across.]
   
2. take up a sudden interest in crosswords, word search or sudoku. [that big book of sudoku puzzles collecting dust in the corner has suddenly become the prime focus of your day.]
3. research "pertinent" information regarding all your pending tasks on the internet. [i need to look up all the eco-friendly tips on laundering my clothes.  way to rationalize internet surfing.]
4. play video games. [we actually don't own a game system at home, but if we did i know what i would be doing.  and there are many ways to rationalize this particular choice, especially if we owned the wii fit.]
5. read a good book. [it's not really procrastinating when you're reading something, right?  after all, we encourage our kids to read...]
6. re-organize all the cook books and miscellaneous recipes. [alphabetizing the recipes takes importance over having clean clothes for the whole family.]
7. organize all your photos uploaded on the computer. [again, this takes importance over having clean clothes for the whole family.]
8. purge and re-organize the kids' clothes, books and toys.  [still being productive here, right?]
9. escape to the bathroom. [this is ty's favorite stall tactic when he has to do his homework.  you can't stop a guy from doing his business in the bathroom...nevermind that he's in there for 15-20 minutes.]
10. snack time. [this is ty's stall tactic number 2, which he deploys shortly after emerging from the bathroom.]
