'PROCRASTINATION IS SOMETHING BEST PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW'
- Gerald Vaughan
Eventually the thing one is procrastinating from becomes the procrastination for the procrastinations. So to speak.
My recently purchased bible for instance. Call me naive, but I really had no idea the bible was so traumatic. I've now finished Genesis, and have thus far (note my newly acquired King James vocabulary) read about incest, infidelity, murder, polygamy, rape, pillage, war, general depravity, errrr did I miss anything? Ah yes, extreme overuse of the word 'peradventure'. There's only so much of all that one can take in one go, which is clearly why tv programmes like 'Big Love' only show once a week. I can only hope that the ten commandments are going to make an appearance sooner rather than later.
So, having eaten the local newsagent totally out of M&M's, there was nothing for it but to either copy out my maternal family tree going back to 1750 in neat writing, (which I weirdly stumbled upon on the web the other day,) clean the entire apartment or try to precis something like 30,000 words into 1,500 words. I'm down to about 7,000 and have reached the point where I'd pretty much rather be doing anything else. Having said that, the family tree is looking dangerously similar to Genesis, so I must say, the hoover is starting to look very enticing.

... and will you put it up on your blog if you write it?
I'm glad you like the quote "Procrastination is something best put off until tomorrow". It would be nice if you added the name of the originator of the quote ~ Gerald Vaughan
