Avoiding the Inevitable

I pretty much suck at this blogging thing. Or the commitment thing. Whichever you choose to chalk it up to, I suck. I knew this would be tough for me because between school, work and running kids to and fro, I get pretty busy. In fact, the only reason I am making the time to blog now is because I am avoiding a paper I need to write.

Sometimes I'll do nearly anything to avoid writing. That's pretty sad for someone who is pursuing a career as a...oh, what was that again?..I say looking up and tapping my finger on my pursed lips. A WRITER. Oh, yeah. A writer who avoids writing. Great. I'm gonna be uber successful. Get my autograph now while you can.

The problem with the writing I need to be doing is that it's an assignment I hate. It's for an English writing course that I dread going to every single Monday and Wednesday. I have a generally bad attitude about the course. I can't really even pinpoint why I hate it so much. Maybe there are just so many reasons it's hard to narrow it down. Luckily for me, I still have tomorrow to get the paper done. And, maybe I've mentioned this before—I know I have on the Drake J70 blog—I do my best work under pressure at the last minute. So, I guess I'll wait until then.

So, I recently got an iPhone. I've resisted this for quite awhile now because I'm not a gadget girl, and because of the computer my husband already ignores me half of the time we're in the same room. I naturally assumed if he had an iPhone he'd have a handy excuse to ignore me all of the time no matter where we are. I was right. However, I have quickly become a pseudo gadget girl, so I ignore him back. I love that damn thing. My youngest daughter put it very eloquently when she said, "That is like having the whole world in your hand." I had to ask her to repeat it because I was ignoring her, too. I downloaded Pac-Man on it and life has never been the same since. Oh, what I wouldn't give for a joystick.

So, the reason I brought up the iPhone was not to have another gadget-gasm (I made that up. You're welcome.) It was to let you know I'm adding blogging to my iCal. One way or another I will blog on a regular basis. If this doesn't work, I'll ask my English instructor to schedule papers more often.
