...Procrastinator, Part Deux

As I mentioned before in a previous post, I AM A PROCRASTINATOR. I spend A LOT of time thinking about accomplishing tasks, planning how to accomplish tasks, making lists of tasks, and lists of those lists...BUT I don't spend very much time actually following through on doing the tasks. I'm not lazy, per se, just easily distracted. And maybe a bit of a dilly-dallier.

Case in point #1: I finally accomplished a minor task which has been on To Do list since Easter! I cannot tell you how good it felt to cross that sucker off of my master To Do list. That one line item had been mocking me, plaguing me for eight long months!

Case in point #2 (and currently a most pressing item): Christmas Cards! Christmas 2009 has come and gone, and yet I still don't have my Christmas cards created, purchased, and sent. Even my back up plan of sending New Year's cards seems like a long shot now.

So what's been my hold up? I've been holding out for the "perfect" photo to use on our card. After several photo shoots later with the boys (Scout & Kona), I still haven't snapped "the one." Ugh. Part of my problem is that last year's photo was so perfect (below), and nothing else seems to quite live up to it.



See what I mean? How can I even compare with last year's? It really was so perfect. And don't you think quite reminiscent of "American Gothic," a canine version anyway.



Well...I said it was reminiscent, it's not an exact match.

Anyway, I love the boys' photo so much, I even entered it into a dog photo contest at Orvis. They need your votes! $5 for 5 votes, with proceeds benefiting the Canine Cancer Campaign.

So, back to my Christmas, er New Year's cards. I'm still trying to figure out what I'll do. One of my goals for 2010 is less procrastination - maybe it will start with finishing my cards!
