1. Google weird stuff like the different denominations of U.S. currency. (Like I need to know that.)
2. Watch Eye to Eye. Judge Extreme Akim is so cheesy…. (Did you see the one with the guy who wore his girlfriend’s dresses???)
3. Order new business cards even though RWA is 174 days away according to the calendar in my sidebar. (The new magnets are really pretty!!)
4. Bake muffins three days in a row. (They were good!)
5. Follow the cats around and around the farmhouse trying to get a good picture of them. (They are so uncooperative.)
6. Research bombs set off by cell phones. For a book!! (I’m stating this for the record, Officer!!)
7. Meticulously format and reformat my daughter’s paper on Nebraska. (Does the title look better in Australian Sunrise or Batik Regular?)
8. Read the 10-day forecast online. Again. (Hey, it might change.)
9. Unearth, dig out, move EVERYTHING because I have to find out right now where that smell is coming from…. (And which cat did it.)
10. Make up lists of 10 things I do when I’m procrastinating.

Oh, I like that list! Usually I just get lost on the web somewhere. I’m trying to work cleaning into my procrastination techniques, but that’s way too productive!
