Now I'm charcoal by default. <br /><br />But as for your posts-in-waiting, I find that a collection of things to be done, that I can't be bothered to get to, creates a kind of mental logjam. Everything backs up behind them.

In fact, when I was calling different dealerships about used Priuses, when they'd asked what colors I'd accept I said "Dark gray or light gray." I do notice cars in general but more for things like body style or what I know about their fuel efficiency. Cars are the one thing in my life I DON'T want to be colorful. In everything else - from food to flowers to wall paint - I love rich colors.secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463633428173967234.post-23233279394564110822011-01-22T15:26:56.523-06:002011-01-22T15:26:56.523-06:00I'm the same.

As for my brain, it is apparently also beige and in park, as it can't seem to move forward from the idle position it's been stuck in during the two months I was without a computer. Like you, I have lots of ideas either in draft or sitting in my head, but can't seem to get them out the tips of my fingers. Glad to hear that someone else is having the same problem, and I do think that it's because of the time of year.
