Diary of a Procrastinator

On Tuesday, I went with two of my sisters to our old beach. Well, it's not just a beach in the Florida sense or the Jersey sense. It's a peninsula that curves.

I just thought I'd post some of my winter photography from my vacation in CT.


Cousins skaking and playing hockey on a pond, an annual event.

After 2 days of rain, the sky took on a greenish hue at first that became very red-orange around sunset.

(I think I spelled that right.) I remember one birthday when I was in 6th or 7th grade and Co stuck a note with the above scribbled on it into one of my notebooks so when I opened it, out came the note. Then there was the usual scribbling on the mirror in lipstick, always interesting to wake up to.

Today I planned to sleep in, having the alarm set for 5:30 everyday since last Saturday really takes it out of a person. So what happens? I wake up around 6:30, roll back to sleep but wake up at 7:30 with a nasty sinus headache that still hasn't gone away. At least I'm off work.

Oh, and Hez, since you said pictures of our family are fun, I have one that my sister-in-law emailed last night from the wedding.

Remember how I was thinking of getting a laptop earlier? Well, that idea has been delayed until further notice because I just bought a new car!!! Well, a 2008 Hyundai Accent. And in my head I kept hearing John Simm's voice saying Hyundai from his commercial voiceover. The monthly payments are twice what I was paying on my old car but that was approaching major service work so this is a smarter move. Now I need to familiarize myself with some of the more important functions (such as the radio) for driving to work tomorrow 6:30am.

I just took this in the backyard. Don't think it needs any explanation

Just took these in the back yard (well, the golf course that is my back yard)

I have no excuse this week. I don't know why I didn't post earlier. I think I'll just give the answers to last week's songs but wait until Tuesday or Wednesday to post new lyrics. I hope you don't mind. Oh, and going to see the new Bond this afternoon!

1. Save The Last Dance for Me (my version is Michael Buble)
2. Return to Sender -- Elvis
3. Ticket to Ride -- Beatles
4. Only When I Sleep -- The Corrs
5. Never Tear Us Apart -- INXS

To make up for no lyrics, I think I'll post a pretty pic. This might be another weekly post I'll try. I'll leave a hint to see if anyone can guess where it is.

This is a picture I took at Easter of a waterlily floating in a pond nearby. I personally think it is one of my best and favorites. Also, this is my first attempt at inserting a photo.
