Procrastination

Merriam Webster defines it : to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done

But I would prefer to call it making use of time in a more pleasurable/suitable way. I should be working on a lovely legal translation from English to German. Besides not being my favorite way to translate--it´s soo much more fun to do it the other way. Or that´s what I tell myself when I´m doing something from Eng->Germ. or conversely when from Germ->Eng. I find legalese rediculous, and sometimes the German is more straightforward, but only sometimes. As my husband said to me this morning, lawyers come up with great stuff like " the worker may use the toilet if the toilet suits the purpose of being a toilet." So instead, you see, I´m procrastinating, or using my time more suitably to blog. When I feel motivated, or the deadline for having the contract done looms, I will start work again. In the mean time, I will think about my x-mas decorations, going shopping for Christmas presents with the money I will get for having translated this said contract, and what color I should paint my toenails. Oh wait, I hear DH arriving with lunch, so I guess I will have to delay those pleasures, further delaying working on said contract.
