Inspiration:
It won't sound like anyone else's version of love:
It's like just before dark, jump in the car, buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kind of Eden...
go with the road, swerve to the left, and scares you to death and laugh until you cry... that's how your love makes me feel inside.

Dear Keri - When you say that something is without sound, it's spelled QUIET... not quite. And learn Know vs. now. Shame on you Lewisville ISD.
If I'd started this entry 20 minutes ago I would have complained of sleepiness again, but it cleared up like a cloud... weird.
County appraisals for Dallas and Collin are out and Dallas Dirt's blog has tons of mentions of people's house and land values going up and down.
Evidence for when I have to bust heads

Ridiculously sad song: Sittin' on the Front Porch Swing by Dolly Parton with Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette
Oh we'd sit every Sunday and watch the married ladies and we'd dream of white dresses and church bells in the spring
And they'd talk and paint their nails while they let us hold their babies ... Sitting on the Front Porch Swing
Where was I when the time came to join the married ladies? Why did I paint the nail when the finger had no ring. Why do I sit at my age and long to hold their babies sitting on the front porch swing?
I gave it 5 stars (sheepish smile for my little emo soul)

What Type of Procrastinator are you?
The research I mentioned earlier says there are three reasons people procrastinate:
I think I'm a decisional AND avoidance procrastinator... do you agree?

Accomplishment:
Worked on this year's performance plan
Am more parts happy than envious or sad for ex and his upcoming honeymoon. Hey, it's an accomplishment.
Confessions:
Tuna salad sandwich with a side of pasta salad is not the best meal ever.
I have a very low allotment for sympathy and empathy right now... not sure why.
Thankful:
I am thankful for...
... an emo soul.
... dolly parton songs.
... "Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow so I ran fearing not where to go."
... less tiredness today.
... the fact that at least I worked out last night so that when I didn't get up this morning I finally stopped the guilt cycle.
... a reason why my inbox has got quiet and a lot less funny lately.

What Type of Procrastinator are you?
The research I mentioned earlier says there are three reasons people procrastinate:
- Arousal procrastinators are thrill-seekers who tackle projects at the last minute, pulling all-nighters at school and work.
- Avoidance procrastinators habitually put off hard or boring tasks.
- Decisional procrastinators are paralyzed by indecisiveness.
I think I'm a decisional AND avoidance procrastinator... do you agree?
