I've thought of myself as a procrastinating perfectionist -- and it usually ends up just as a procrastinator.

That's why. But really, thanks for giving me a constructive way to think about my behavoir instead of just "How did I waste this day!" at night. <br /><br />Love youBrooke S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12495668558037672507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476570074323535641.post-1594656099633559822012-01-25T09:45:28.127-08:002012-01-25T09:45:28.127-08:00Wow.
