How I would rather be spending my day

It is interesting how I can find so many things I NEED to do today that do not involve writing my project that is worth 1/3 of my grade and due at midnight tonight. I tried starting it early (yesterday afternoon) but it just would not flow. I am hoping if I start checking things off the rest of my to-do list, the project will just flow. Or maybe I should just sit down and make myself do it and then get the reward of doing the rest of the stuff on my list. At least I get two weeks off between the end of this class and the start of the spring semester.

Things I would rather be doing today than completing my project:
*Making banana bread
*Eating banana bread
*Making sugar cookies
*Eating sugar cookies
*Making carmel corn
*Eating carmel corn
*Going to a movie with Jae (like we planned) & eating movie theater butter popcorn
*Christmas shopping at the mall (does that give you any idea how much I don't want to do this project???)
*Going to the Aurora mall (last year I was stuck for over an hour trying to get out of the mall because people drive so stupid) and getting Cinnabon, the four pack, not just one- YUMMY!!!
*Going to Park Meadows mall and getting Cheesecake Factory
*Going to Target and being influenced by the magic of the store (we finally made up so I can shop there again)
*Curling up on the couch with my new warm tie blanket and watching Four Christmases (I still haven't seen it!)
*Curling up on the couch with my new warm tie blanket and taking a nap while a movie with a happy ending plays on tv (I sleep better when there is a happy show playing)
*Going to Pizza Hut and getting some breadsticks (I do not remember them being yummy but golly do they sound delicious!)
*Making Kringla
*Eating Kringla
*Sending some Kringla to Andrea so I can get some chex mix
*Go to Petsmart and adopt another dog (they had the cutest boxer there yesterday)
*Go to Cold Stone and find a new creation (I just finished the pint that was in the freezer)
*Go to Taco John's in Iowa & get some Mexi Rolls and potato oles with cheese sauce (and see my family!!!)
*Get a car wash for my stupid Saturn (it hasn't officially had a carwash for a few years)
*Go buy a new car and trade in the stupid Saturn

Now that my list is getting dangerous (I really, really want a new car!), I suppose I should try my project again. Only 18 self- assessments, 8 journal articles, and 10 pages of writing to go! Wish me luck :o)

Ok, you have me laughing!! These are so good I had to read the whole thing to Brad. By the way, you aren't having any cravings are you!? And now you have me hungry! And I'm going to make chex mix today - no rush on Kringla...You have work to do!

I wouldn't say cravings so much as just really hungry all the time! I am just making up for the first 12 weeks of not wanting to eat anything :o)
