Wasting time and a new journal page

I just couldn't get down to work on today's journal page.  So while my husband took our girls to visit his parents, I frittered away my time -- surfing the net, tidying rather aimlessly, baking . . .


Then, with a plate full of chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of milk, I gave it another shot and it started to come together . . .


The lightning round was next . . .


Before I knew it, there was a plate of cookie crumbs on my desk and a full page on my screen . . .


I think that pretty much settles it -- chocolate really does fix everything.

You'll find today's page in the following formats:

Happy Thursday friends!  And hey, if you've got a moment, I'd love to hear from you -- what are your favourite time-wasters?

  4. Let's see...surfing the internet....reading (although I maintain that is never a waste of time)....watching home-improvement shows on TV. Yeah, that pretty much sums up my day. Oh, and throw in a little housework here and there, and you've got it! Thanks for another awesome journal page! :)

  9. wow just found your journal pages. I've had the same idea about making something like these to include in my dayplanner. I think yours are more beautiful/"cooler" than I could ever make. so i'm going to use yours instead. I really love them and hope you continue to make and share them. you got a real gift for making these.

    have to agree with others my favourite time waster is reading blogs.

  12. Any cookies left? ;o) Time wasters...the computer and I find more and more that I hop from one thing to another before I completely finish it (laundry, meals, cleaning projects) with the ultimate distractors = the kids. So, I have been known to console myself with chocolate (a chocolate croissant this morning).

    Carin: Sadly, it's just about the only time I do tidy. :) Glad you're enjoying the new page!

    Scribbler: Mmm, chocolate croissants . . . breakfast of champions! Me too with the hopping. These are jobs that just never done.
