procrastination
I procrastinate, you procrastinate, he/she procrastinates….
I thought I was procrastinating, since I have to get organized to write 6 articles at this point, I need to keep my blog updated and well, it does not look like all those magazines will come knocking on my door, so I guess I’ll have to make the effort to keep selling my stories myself…

dreams
daughter: last night i dreamt that you were a bowling ball and kept rolling into the neighbors crappy fence until it fell over and we could go use his pool.
me: didn't you get a book from the library about the meaning of dreams?

work-out
My mom sent me my favourite German cream-of-wheat-vanilla-pudding in the mail. You have to bring milk to a boil and then add the pudding powder; next you have to whisk it very vigourously for about two minutes.
