The Master Procrastinator

So, I've officially waited until the last moment to write this blog entry. And, I have another speech due not this Wednesday but the following Wednesday! How long will it take me to put my butt in a seat and commit to writing said speech??? Hmmmm! I've specifically written this entry to see if I'll wait until it's toooo late!

Tick tock, tick tock...

We lost power at 10PM which conveniently became bed time! You'd be amazed at how tired you suddenly feel...
