"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
So, I had a long day, but what do I hate the most about it? Me.
I had two--count them, three!--opportunities to make it to Memphis to the Southern Writing Workshop. What do I do? I went to both my classes and I didn't have to and on top of that, I went back to my room between classes and--grrr, I could kick myself!--did nothing! I didn't pack, I didn't brush my teeth (I did that earlier)! Nothing! Well, I slept late for my first class and then I came back to my room after my first class and showered, but other than that, nothing!
I missed the conference, and on top of that, I should be reading, but what do I do? I plant my big back forty in front of a computer and the rest is history! What is the nature of self-sabotage? How can so many people avoid doing that and I not only let other people's suggestions sabotage me, I sabotage myself! I can be alone and BAM I divert my attentions another direction! (More to come later ...)

Did you forget or just not go?
yeah, I avoid doing a lot of stuff by blogging lately.
