…is actually being prepared to work!

There’s been a couple of times (okay, okay, more than a couple) where I’ve questioned my choice of theme for this month. I’m especially wincing over this particular post where I gleefully listed all of the things I wanted to let go of, because, once again, the universe/Karma has decided to test my willingness and willpower to actually make the changes I said I wanted.

Turns out, I wasn’t really ready to, you know, work on it or anything.

Not to be all self-inflated, but my habit of procrastination is totally an art form. I’m so good at procrastinating that I’m finding it a really tough habit to break, let me tell you.

I could claim that part of it is just resting and taking the time I need, and that’d be semi-correct. I do need this resting time, definitely, for myself and my brain. But then it gets to that point where I know it’s no longer relaxing, it’s indulging. That point is characterized by the ability to put off work in order to devour three books in a week, ordering take-out every day while online shopping because I can’t be bothered to change out of my pajamas to go buy groceries, and the inability to get to bed before dawn.

I’m very, very good at indulging myself.

In total self-disgust and guilt, I sat down last week and started tackling my list of projects. I almost immediately gave up, because I was reminded about the amount of work involved, but I didn’t (go me!). In an effort to keep that ball rolling, and because I’m sure several of you are wondering when exactly I’m going to get the destash beads listed and make some progress on the Elements eclass I was talking about, I’m taking the week off from blogging to focus and work.

In the mean time, may I offer some favorite posts from the archives for your reading pleasure?

If I get myself into shape by Friday, I’ll be back with a color palette. If not, see you next week!
