\u00a0 Yesterday, I spent 10 minute agonizing over which unfinished task to tackle, decided it was too hard to decide, and ended up spending the rest of the night watching a Hallmark Channel movie. \u00a0Yes, it is that bad.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s finally spring and the weather is warmer and the days longer. \u00a0 But whatever it is, my groove has been worn away. \u00a0Right now, I&#8217;m more like newly paved asphalt. \u00a0Flat and uninspired. \u00a0Luckily, it appears that the Hallmark Channel is continuously playing made for tv movies so I&#8217;m good there. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But seriously, I&#8217;ve set my chrissieterry mind to it and I will snap out of this. \u00a0Even if it means having Kevin hid the tv remote at night. \u00a0And in the morning too. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should just cancel cable altogether. \u00a0(shudder) \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I think I may have to fall back on my old reliable inspiration jump-start. \u00a0A trip to OfficeMax. \u00a0In law school, whenever I had a new paper or class or project to start, I always headed to the office supply store. \u00a0I would spend the afternoon buying notebooks, new pens and filing folders. \u00a0 Sure, I&#8217;d be out 50 bucks but I&#8217;d be so inspired to start working I couldn&#8217;t wait to rush home and get organized. \u00a0There is nothing like a clean notebook and fresh pens to make a girl feel ready to take on the world. \u00a0I haven&#8217;t been to the office supply store for years. \u00a0I think this may be the problem. \u00a0No wonder I can&#8217;t get anything done! \u00a0I&#8217;m surrounded by half dried out ball points, dog-eared \u00a0notebooks, and blunt pencils. \u00a0It&#8217;s enough to drive a girl to the Hallmark channel I tell you.<\/p>\n<p>Yes! \u00a0That&#8217;s it! \u00a0I need new pens! \u00a0This can be easily fixed. \u00a0Sheesh, sometime I can be so dense. \u00a0 Look out efficiency, here I come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been a bit distracted lately. \u00a0I have 101 different projects running through my head and I&#8217;m trying to do them all at once. \u00a0This means I work on something for about 7.8 minutes before moving on to the next to do item. \u00a0It isn&#8217;t working out so well. \u00a0 Anyone have any ideas [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chrissie"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Kqhb-iq","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1144,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142\/revisions\/1144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
