Procrastination, Continued

As McV noted in the comments section of my earlier post, there were a lot of dishes to finish after our fantastic, tasty, long-overdue dinner last night.

By the way, if you ever want to eat well, invite McV and Mr. McV to your house and when they ask what they can bring, say DESSERT.  Unequivocally.  And quickly.  You want her to flambe you some summer peaches in a bit of bourbon with vanilla bean ice cream.  See?  Right now.  You want some.

So, after my battle in the kitchen (usually Hubster is on kitchen duty but his schedule did not accommodate my needs...silly patients) I did spend some time working on my final paper for my last summer session class.  It isn't quite done but it's about a billion times farther along than this morning.  And now after a few loads of laundry, a newly fixed car (we had a leeeetle issue when our friends backed into the Fit) and plans to visit a doggy day care/boarding place, I am contentedly (riiiiiight) getting down to business.  I WILL have a draft to send to my reviewer by tomorrow morning.

It helps that Hubster is also working (at home!!!) tonight on a presentation for tomorrow.  No one in the WORLD stresses about my academic to-do list more than Hubs, not even me.  And thus he helps motivate me to be productive.  And at least 80% of the motivation he brought home for me today has gone toward this paper.  I was generously sharing the other 20% with you, lovely reader, and my washing machine.  I'm sorry to have neglected you both.  Forgive me.

p.s. Thanks for sharing that NYT article McV.

p.p.s.  And to Mrs. LW in NC, you and your Mr. and the munchkins certainly do help us look forward to the day when we have 2-legged pups around this house.  I'll be sure to let you know when that is an impending reality.  In the mean-time, I will enjoy a glass of wine and trips to NC (which needs to happen again!!!) and thinking that Sammy and Wren will try to be as fabulous as Zable and Fenway.  :)
