I need to color my hair. I’ve been putting it off for days. I don’t know why. I’m just feeling way too lazy to do it. I got it colored maybe 3 or 4 months ago at the salon because I was changing from blonde to red. Sometimes you’ve just got to make a change, you know? Well, I found that I could achieve that exact color for about $40 less at home, so, of course, I’m going to do it at home. The last time I colored it was about 5 weeks ago…wait…maybe it’s 6 or 7 weeks now. I’m not sure. But my roots (gray…) are showing, and I really really need to color my hair. I know, I said that already.
Instead of just coloring my hair, I’m writing this “17 Ways to Procrastinate” post to avoid coloring my hair. I just randomly came up with the number 17, so I guess we shall see if I can come up with 17. Actually, I am pretty sure I can come up with way more, but that would require way too much effort.
Ways to procrastinate
Let’s think up some ways to procrastinate (instead of coloring my hair), shall we?
1. Write a blog post about ways to procrastinate.
2. Get some sherbet and eat it.
3. Put the cats to bed for the night.
4. Look at email to see if anything new has arrived in the past 30 seconds…oh, 2 messages…brb.
5. See that one of the emails is a giveaway for Baby Orajel…nope, don’t need any….moving on.
6. Oh, I need to check my Google mail too…brb again.
7. Nothing good in my Google email either, so I went to check my Twitter notifications and see that my Twitter background has disappeared. Better go see what is up with that! BRB
8. Okay, fixed…I have no clue what was up with it.
9. Get on Facebook…never mind, I’d never finish this post.
10. Wonder where my son is since he eschews cell phones. His friends have them, so I know I can always find him.
11. Look out the window to see if the car is there….yep.
12. Figure he is probably across the street.
13. Look at the cards I got in the mail from Love, Hallmark. Awww, they are so cute! I reviewed some Hallmark Cards for Mother’s Day and they were cute too….brb while I look for that post. Found it!
14. See that I have another Facebook notification, but refraining from getting on that tab.
15. Feel sorry for my daughter who has bad mosquito bites on her legs. Poor thing. When she was 5 she had one right by her eye and her eye swelled shut. She had to get a shot for that one! When she gets mosquito bites, they are huge and red and look like the plague or something.
16. Wonder if anyone is still going to be reading this list.
17. Think about the many many more things I could do to procrastinate (not color my hair).
Fine, I’ll go color my hair. Sigh. Oh, wait, Facebook!
Bwahahahaha. This is so me! I am a master of putting off till tomorrow what I can do today.
LOL so true! Why do it now?
I like the sherbet idea LOL. I can manage to put off pretty much anything if there is a sweet treat in front of me 🙂
Exactly!
This is too funny! As if I needed any more ways to procrastinate but you’ve got a few on here that I haven’t tried out yet!
See! You learn something new all of the time!
Sherbet fixes everything. See, I totally forgot what we were talking about.
Besos Sarah.
Me too! Which is why I didn’t color my hair last night!
This was cute! 🙂 Very true thoughts when we’re procrastinating. I feel like social media and cell phones help out with the procrastination. I’ve noticed where I’m planning on cleaning or doing something and just get stuck on the phone or on Facebook or Pinterest and look at the time and 30 minutes have gone by!
It’s true! The internet is a huge time waster! But what would we do without it now! I can’t imagine not have google lol.
I wish I am brave enough to colo my hair. I want to do it but I am afraid I will mess it up.
Well, I used to do it when it was blonde, but then I wanted to go a little darker. But now that it is red, I can do it myself again lol.
Haha! Love this post, Christy! I hate coloring my hair, but I love the results. (Not that I’ve ever done it myself. I just hate sitting in a chair in the salon having it done. It takes sooooo much time.) And mosquito bites, I feel your daughter’s pain. I worked in the yard last night and ended up with six bites. Misery.
Oh, and sorry I’ve been missing lately. We just got back from summer vaycay on Saturday night and I’m still catching up with everything!
I’m glad you are back! I’ve been missing your posts! Molly’s bites are turning into bruises now! I finally colored my hair about an hour ago. I wish gray would make a huge comeback lol. I know it is with younger girls…just not us!
Love this! I hate that I often get into the bad habit of procrastinating, but I could think of 17 more ways to procrastinate if you need them hehehe
LOL next time….
Ugh! I’m so guilty of some of these things. Why is it so difficult to focus on one thing at a time sometimes?
The older I get, the harder it is too!
I guess when I have to do something I shouldn’t or am hesitant to do, I’ll think of this post. I guess you can really be creative on ways to procrastinate when you are not yet sure on what to do.
LOL good idea…you can definitely find some great ways to put stuff off!
I am the world’s worst procrastinator!! When I get on my phone I am soooo bad!! I get on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest and I am stuck!! LOL!!
Me too! It is crazy how quickly time passes online 🙂
Okay, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet today. It is kind of ridiculous how crazy easy it is to procrastinate!
LOL yes it is! Thanks!
I almost spilled my coffee out reading your post! So thank you for allowing me to laugh today! There are so many ways to procrastinate! I love your writing style and can’t wait to see what happens next time!
LOL thanks! I finally got to it. My daughter was like, “Don’t you feel better now?” Nope.
This is so me. LOL. I need to color my hair once a month, but I always put it off. I lwould rather have a sherbet than do it.
Me too! Or donuts would work…
I am guilty of procrastinating too! Oh, the joys of being a woman. Haha. We always have a reason for everything we hate to do, but end up doing it anyway. Really enjoyed your post!
Thanks 🙂 Yes, we do end up having to do it because, heaven forbid, someone else do it for us lol.
Lol this is like so me! I’m like the same. I hate it too and try my hardest to avoid it until my husband reminds me…
It is so much easier to just procastinate lol.
After reading this post and after realizing the effect of procrastination in the life of people, I have decided to stop procrastinating….. starting tomorrow…
Good idea lol…me too!
LOL this is funny. I wish procrastination led me to writing instead it leaves me on Facebook reading about that crazy restaurant owner from Maine. Upset at the comments she made, and playing Samurai Siege.
Oh no! It’s best to stay away from the news lol.
This post made me laugh so hard. I have been putting off dying my hair for a week lol. I just keep procrastinating. I will have to get it done tonight!
LOL I did color mine yesterday finally!
I procrastinate quite a bit, but I’ve actually learned to use it to work for me. I’ve found procrastination techniques that let me put things off but really I’m working on something. Like Pinterest, I’m having fun, relaxing, but also pinning to boost my account.
That is a good idea!
This is a cute post I love the ending with Facebook. lol I always procrastinate doing something I don’t want to do right than by calling someone on the phone. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Talking on the phone is a good way to procrastinate lol.
Hehehe this is so me today!!! I have so Much blog work I should be doing but here I am reading blogs instead lol
That is usually what happens! Oh well, we get it done eventually right?
I can totally relate! I can be one of the hugest procrastinators at times.
It is something we can all do too easily lol.
Lol. Hands up to those who can relate to some of these stuff, haha!
LOL for sure!
Sounds like me, only it’s almost always falling down the rabbit hole of wikipedia, as my wife calls it. Find something interesting, look up the wiki, then follow up with other research, usually on some totally useless topic.
It is so easy to get distracted on the internet!
LOL! I love this! As I am going in between Twitter and Facebook, procrastinating on the work that really needs to be done… and then the game on my iPad. Oh and the tv with the 2 year old. But lunch has to be eaten… 😉
LOL yes, lunch is very important!
Many thanks, I am procrastinating my colouring as well, watching silly movies on amazon prime instead. It has been a week already, I woke up at 9am today and was determined to do it and it is now 3am but still cannot face it. I think it is the pungent smell of ammonia which stops me.
Yes, that smell is horrific! Oh the sacrifices we make!
