Guilty as charged. BTW, I'm from Calif. and I have always "fixed dinner". Having moved from the west to Indiana, I'm still not used to dinner being lunch.

For me it is Lunch and Dinner

Now step away from the keyboard and go make a wall applique quilt to hang in from of you where your computer is depicting a laptop, a gal pushing away from the computer and title it Step Away From The Keyboard. :twisted:

Growing up in Maine it was breakfast, dinner and supper. Living here in the deep south it is breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Interesting how even in this country living in different parts of it how things are said and done.

Guess I haven't been a total mush mess this afternoon, did manage to get 2 loads of laundry done, sheets changed on the bed and dinner fixed.....but then where am I??? Right back here.....step away from the keyboard!!

Ohhhhh I do the same thing!!

:-D

No wonder we creative people never get a project finished in a "timely manner". :roll:

Definitely me too. If I get up at 5, 6 or 7a.m. the first thing I do is turn on my computer. Go down to the kitchen, get my coffee and back upstairs to plop. Today my plan was to get back to cutting and pieceing around my panels for my Christmas wallhanging and here it is after 10a.m. and I've had 3 cups of coffee, played with the dogs for a couple of minutes and my butt is right back in this chair. It's like if I stay away from here for 15 minutes and then come back, there is a lot more to read and see just on page 1. LOL

What an excellent idea! But do you EVER find yourself not shutting down and reset the timer to give yourself an extra 15 minutes or 1/2 hour? See...I am afraid I would be guilty of doing that...thinking to myself...I'll give myself time to just check 1 or 2 more things and then screw up my self discipline...LOL.
