A Moment of Zen

What a week it's going to be. With Thanksgiving just days away. The craziness is about to begin. I still keep asking myself where did it all go. Seems like everything is going by so fast. The year is almost over. Where did it all go?Okay, so I've never been the type who is truly ready for the holidays. I see my neighbors are already putting up their christmas lights and trees. Ughh!!! You people make me sick. Can't you wait till Thanksgiving is over? Sheesh! In fact, I'am such a procrastinor. I will wait till the last minute on doing anything. I know I should be making plans and whatnot for Thanskgiving and especially getting myself in the mood for the holidays. Nah I just can't do it. It's just such a fuss. A hassel that makes take out food on Thanksgiving. Look better and better to me. Anyway, my point is. Today I'am taking A Moment of Zen today. Just clear my mind, kick back and relax, recharge myself before the madness begins. Here's alittle something that somebody sent me in email. Enjoy the Day! Your favorite little Artsy Diva~~~

Procrastinor's Creed
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

Yep...that's me.
I avoid bill's like the plague.
Then I open them all at once and freak.

Oh I hear ya! But despite the craziness. I try to stay within my budget and not let the overspeeding get the best of me. I do have my limits.

Happy Holidays!
