My bit for the federal and state government has been put off too long and now I'm paying for it. I'm searching through paperwork, printing reports, matching up receipts and re-working budgets. I hope to be finished in time to write a big check to the IRS tomorrow...sigh!
All the while I'm thinking about how I wish I was working in an inspiring office like this from Dear Daisy Cottage....
Or, how I'm inspired to be doing some Creative Journaling like this...
Or, how I'm inspired by urban gardeners and hope my suburban garden looks something like this someday...
Mostly, I'd just like to sit outside in the shade and dig into my new book...
Time for all that later, much later, I'm afraid...better get back to work!
Until Next Time,
Jackie
How funny, you are blogging as the tax dead line draws near!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to ya!
Yes...it's official...I'm a procrastinator!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone in being a procrastinator, Jackie. Lately I've been better understanding that if I didn't procrastinate the necessary things I'd have time to pursue all of the other things that end up on my "one day" list. I'm a slow learner.
ReplyDeleteYour post describes my feelings exactly! So many things I'd rather be doing right now! I love the Life is a Verb book. I already have it pulled up on Amazon:?
ReplyDeleteSince my husband is a farmer, our taxes are due March 1. That pretty much makes it IMPOSSIBLE to procrastinate :)!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice stopping by to see you today, it looks like you are keeping busy with lots of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS having things spinning in my head that I want to do. It's hard to settle on one long enough to finish it out. Oh I inivision it alright. As a matter of fact I can even walk my self through it ,and by the time I am done , I realize I could have just did it. Ever do that? LOL . I only wish I could garden. I did get some flower seeds and I'll plant them. But like always , I know that they won't come up. My thumb is so brown!
ReplyDeleteOurs was horrible - worst ever! (taxes that is!)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, Jackie. You sound much like me. Procrastinating the unpleasantries in life - too bad they just won't go away! :) Best wishes to you. -Tammy
I sat and did taxes yesterday. I had "roughed them out" a few weeks earlier (getting roughed up in the process!) but finally bit the bullet and Did Them Right last night. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI hear you totally about inspiration and ideas on the sideline while we do our required tasks first. My garden is calling me daily and I think "maybe this weekend," then look at the calendar and think "well, maybe Sunday..." since Saturday is already spoken for.
Here's to dreams and inspiration!
Jackie-
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain today. Argh. Thanks for sharing Daisy Cottage. I don't just want an office like that, I want to live there!!! Do they take borders?

I enjoyed looking over your blog. I found your profile on another blog I follow and I added myself to follow you. You are more than welcome to visit my blog and become a follower if you want to.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You, Ron
Pretty much anything is more fun than taxes, unless they owe YOU money. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a home office/craft room that was pretty awesome. It was even featured in a National magazine in 2006. I don't have it anymore because the PRESSURE created by it ruined my creativity. Sounds weird, I know, but it's true. I did a post about it way back http://thegregbeefamily.blogspot.com/2008/09/truth-in-advertising.html
Those great spaces aren't all they're cracked up to be. Just enjoy what you have!
that book works so worth checking out. i love throwing "verb" in place of actual verbs. although that's a noun there. ha. sly insight to share with the web-world.
