Some days...I'm just raring to go. I set up all my stuff in a pile and I work through it. I accomplish.

Other days...I'd rather shovel snow than actually get work done.

Today is one of those days. Must...resist...the urge to waste time...must... I promise I'll get to work as soon as I sharpen all the toothpicks and paint the dog's toenails and prune the poinsettias and restack the dishes and count my thumbtacks...somebody help get me motivated, please?
