Aaah... Procrastinating

I don't think I've mentioned it yet here, but blogging is usually something I do while procrastinating. (Hmm. Knowing my repetitive self, I've probably mentioned that several times.) What am I procrastinating now? Homework! Lots of things, really, including homework, which is an unusual thing for me. I haven't had homework since some time in April. I think it's all reading, but since I didn't have the book before my Monday class, I also have to do Monday's reading, making it just a little more hefty. Still, I think it's only twenty pages or so. (Could be worse, considering it's a semester class that is jammed into a term, right?)

So much for my resolution to be on top of things.

Oh well. I'll get by, I always do. And I'll probably enjoy it. I like the topics we have for this class; it's entitled "forming marital relationships" and the book is Intimate Relationships and it's all about what defines, influences, and enhances intimate relationships (in our personal case of BYU, that is usually marital relationships). Okay, so why am I not reading this fascinating material? Habit, I suppose. I really do have this nasty habit of doing nothing. At least I went to work today... and spent an hour in the morning helping with an infant study. That totals to... I'll include travel time to make myself feel better... maybe 5 hours of productivity today? Yeah. That about sums it up.

I suppose the real question is which do I delve into next: the article by Elder Bednar that I briefly skimmed, or my 20 pages of textbook reading? Maybe I'll insert Bednar into the middle of my textbook to break things up...

In other news, I was also making a cake. My husband probably doesn't need sweet things to take to work in his lunches, but I sort of feel obligated to provide them because I would always want something sweet and delicious in my lunches. While feeling health-conscious, that was often a granola bar or something pseudo-healthy, but it usually involved chocolate and had some of that lingering sweet that made it feel like dessert. So, anyway, I'm trying a cake experiment; we'll see how it works out. Mostly, I wanted a base to spread some leftover chocolate pie filling on, and I decided brownies would be too rich. (Could I have just sent Gary with the chocolate "pudding"? Noooo, I had to try and get all fancy.) If I don't have enough or if it doesn't work out, I at least have some left over cream cheese frosting that's probably still good. Cream cheese frosting tastes good with everything, right? .... right....?
