Why Do It Today When I Can Put It Off For Eternity?

I must confess that I am more of a procrastinator than I want to be!!! I have been putting off blogging for so long it is pitiful. I do have about 101 really good excuses, though.

Okay...here goes. My very first blog. I have worried so much about what to write that I have almost paralyzed myself. All I know is what I live so that is what will fill these pages.

For the past 3 weeks my sister and I have been consumed with putting together our performing and creative arts studio. We were supposed to have our first classes today. I have finally come to my senses and realized that it would not be prudent to open the doors today. Oh, I have good, sound reasons. Here are just a few:

1. Would parents sue us if their kids had an allergy attack or asthma attack from all the sheetrock dust floating and coating everything?

2. What are the probabilities that one could actually break bones if they tripped over the rolls of carpet that block the entrances?

3. Can ballet shoes withstand a concrete floor with 10 years of carpet glue piled on it? Are floating wood floors really all that important?

4. Do we really need instructors for two of our most important dance classes? Couldn't I just put a video in and they could teach themselves?

5. Are leotards a must have if I have promised all the students that I would provide them for their classes? Couldn't they just wear restricting street clothes and pray they don't rip, shred, or tear on our 10 year old glue piled concrete dance floor?

6. Is music really necessary in a dance class? Couldn't we all just hum?

7. Should the owners/staff be completely sane when greeting the public and introducing our new business? Do you think parents would mind dropping their children off if I am passed out on the 10 year old glue piled concrete floor with exhaustion?

Okay, you can see I have been in denial for some time now. My nephew and brother in law have been trying to tell me that it was going to take one more week and I just kept insisting that it had to be today. I think I just didn't want these two clowns to be right and me to be wrong.

They are probably going to show some great little dance moves when they hear that I have conceded that they were right and I was wrong. I am so glad things like me being wrong only occur about once a century!

Well, I am off to continue taping, mudding and painting!!
