I should be…

figuring out, trying on what I think I might wear tonight for the BC Book Soiree.  At the very least, I should be upstairs right now, packing my suitcase, since we leave early in the morning for the Kootenays.  I also have, on my to-do list, the ironing of Will’s school clothes to get him through the next week.

Instead, what am I doing?  Well, I’m coming up with clever hair solutions.  I think this one camouflages my haircut shortcomings in a nice, understated way.  What do you think?

It is amazing the things I will get up to when a good powerful bout of procrastination hits.  I think it looks rather artistic.  Don of course, howled with laughter and grabbed his camera and snapped a few photos for prosperity. I decided to post one on my blog.

We have the good folks at BC Book Prizes to thank for this, as they gave us a print out on how to post pictures on their blog as we travel from town to town.  I wish I could say I have the downloading picture thing conquered, but Don is the one that figured it out and up-loaded it for me.  (See, I think I even got the lingo wrong.) 

Anyway he promised to teach me before I leave.  Yeah, right.  Would that be before I plow through my other laundry list of things-to-do or after?

Sigh.  One of the reasons I am procrastinating so much is that, I was really excited to be included on the Book Tour, but now, all of a sudden, we leave tomorrow, and I don’t feel ready to leave my comfy cozy nest.  I feel like I just got home.  And what if the other authors don’t like me and think I’m dumb and nobody will want to sit next to me at meals.  That would suck. 

Nope, I don’t think I shall post this picture on their blog.
