My hubby has today off, which, combined with two nights of insomnia, led me to mistakenly think it's Saturday. <br /><br />Anywho, welcome back to Working Stiffs, Alan! Yes, I'll definitely be at the Festival of Mystery. Looking forward to seeing you there. <br /><br />As for procrastination... Me? I'm the Queen of Procrastination. However, I'm willing to sacrifice...if you want to come clean my house after you do Ramona's, it's all yours.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-43689236438242652722011-04-07T12:18:35.130-04:002011-04-07T12:18:35.130-04:00Task reject is becoming my state in life.

Since I started doing book reviews, I find myself at a loss for words. <br /><br />I now read a book, and then let it sit on my desk next to me for a couple of days while I ruminate what to say and how to say it.
