Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for November 01, 2012
Transcript:
Charlene: Knowing how great you'd feel if you finished it, are you tempted to dive into your "to do" basket? Cathy: No. Charlene: Knowing the incredible rush of satisfaction you'd get, are you tempted to polish off the stack of filing? Cathy: No. Charlene: Knowing you'd be disgusted for months, are you tempted to jump into the leftover Halloween cupcakes? Cathy: YES! Caption: Always the "clean plate club". Never the "clean desk club".

Darn it, I can relate to this. I will avoid going through a stack of papers, but feel great when it’s done. And now that I’m eating some leftover Halloween candy, I feel terrible. I should save this one somewhere…Good morning, Susan! Thanks for the update! Also, I like Aaron’s new name… I’m working on my avatar. Not sure why it’s not updating. p.s. I just updated my name last night, so good eye!Good morning, mollie! I agree… I miss them too and hope they are okay.Hello to the rest of the clan… GsMom, KFG, Aaron, Billy, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, AnonaMona, Bronzepony, simpsonfan2, tegm, legaleagle, Shyygirl27, catsarge10, BJIllistrated, ncalifgirl58, Molly mcgee, Teresa, mar mar in MI, SplendensPluviaNemus and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

I find all the “must-do-NOW!” things tend to come along at once – which doesn’t make them any easier to deal with! That’s when I’ll be tempted to do something totally unconnected with any of them, while my head tries to sort out which one is the NOW-est to start on.

Maybe Cathy should compromise: eat a leftover Halloween cupcake WHILE she cleans out her to-do basket and finishes her stack of filing! (B/t/w: I STILL get a rush every time I walk into my freshly de-cluttered office and see all the mess gone and whatever I kept, placed into properly labeled folders in my filing cabinet! A very satisfying feeling, indeed!!!!!)
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween last night!

It was just an ordinary evening here – we haven’t had any guisers for a couple of years now, since the local youngsters all grew too old for that. Mind you, the weather didn’t help. Nobody wants to be out in cold, heavy rain!
I hope everyone who is braver than we are survived the evening.
Happy All Saints’ Day!

I admit I’ve had a sweet tooth lately and I’ve been procrastinating writing a paper I have to write. I did a a really good job on my anthropology test, only missed two questions.
Hello lightenup, lindz.coop, Gsmom, ncalifgirl, Aaron, Dr. Billy and the rest. :-)

@ Anona Mouse – Is a guiser a trick-or-treater? Where do you live where you have guisers? (I’m sorry if you’ve said this previously… my memory is not the best) The weather was perfect here for trick-or-treating, although we do need rain in general.@ Shyygirl – Congratulations on your test! That’s awesome!! :-)

Priorities, priorities.
Halloween goodies first? Sounds like a winner to me!

Hi to other Cathyites!! Re: the comic — Absolutely!! I would first hit the cupcakes, then the paper pile. I zipped thru Weight Watchers tonight — within 2 lbs of my goal weight, so didn’t have to pay. I thought that wasn’t too bad for the day after Halloween.
