Must Focus Now

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley / Leave a comment

Must not procrastinate (some how my warped mind does not feel that posting is task avoidance).  Must get paper done.  Must read hundreds of pages of articles with titles like “Engendering Naturalism:  Narrative Form and Commodity Spectacle in U.S. Naturalist Fiction” or perhaps “The Display Window: Designs and Desires of Weimar Consumerism.”  Must write 12+ page paper about books I don’t really care for and about some obscure and original topic that will warrant me a decent grade.  Must complete power point presentation for class on Thursday.  Must write a page of indeterminate length to explicate my power point and show my deep understanding of Writing Across the Curriculum.  Must change clothes.  Must take a shower.  Must drink coffee.

Must thank Hubby, who after 12 hours of electrical work got all the wiring in the garage worked out and who thanks to I can now park in my garage without getting out of my car and opening the door manually.

Must say good-night. Must read now. Must poke sharp and hot sticks into both of my eyes.  Must never take another literature class again.  Yay!

Procrastination 1–Us 0

As I sit here typing this–I can’t quite give up this posting everyday thing–Hubby is neck deep in electrical wiring in our garage.  We live in a city and our little old house has a detached garage that we are just now–7+ years later–getting ready for me to actually park in.  I know isn’t that a novel idea.  Actually parking in your garage.  Well, my dad and bonus mom bought us a garage door opener for Christmas and it is getting installed tomorrow.  We have known this for over a week.  Hubby decided that he would do the electrical work today as it wouldn’t take very long.  Well, he started at 3pm and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.  Hubby is doing a good job of not being too mad.  Of course last time he came into the house I’d swear he had sharp sticks poking out of his eye.  I am being a good wife and not saying anything about how it really isn’t good to wait to the last minute, etc.  I am just not sure that would be helpful.  At least not until he has it working.

Well cross your fingers and hope I don’t have to blow some of our Christmas fund on a last minute electrician….

Degree of Loserness

It only took me 7+ years to buy and hang curtains on the front windows of our house.  So, for all of you who are driving or walking by at night, that is right–you can no longer watch our too big for our house tv nor watch me walk around naked…I know upsetting isn’t it? 

It is nice to finally 1 have some privacy and 2 feel like a grown up in my own house 7 years later….

I will write a list of all the things in our house that it has taken us 7 years or even more to do.  My degree of loserness will defintely increase exponentially.
