Too busy eating cheese.
Crystal Collier, author of MOONLESS, is a former composer/writer for Black Diamond Productions. She can be found practicing her brother-induced ninja skills while teaching children or madly typing about fantastic and impossible creatures. She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her creative husband, three littles, and “friend” (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese. You can find her on her blog and Facebook, or follow her on Twitter.

Excellent suggestions, Crystal! Now to decide which one to use tonight...:)
Thanks Lynda, for hosting!
I can relate to rather too many of these for comfort!
Love the cheese bit!
I tend to do that as i make dinner, then get asked why I'm not that hungry when we sit down to finally eat!
you do know that piles of leaves usually hide kitten or dog poop, yes? :)
I'm always looking for ways to cook faster or do something else while dinner is cooking like reading and writing blogs. Something like that.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Mmm, cheese. Now I want some.
Awwwww love the kitty with the bug! LOL!!
Yay for gorgeous Crystal! Take care
x
lol, I've definitely wasted a few hours on a few of these :) Major congrats to Crystal!!
Hahaha #4
Apparently Charlie's brother tastes better. :P
Fun post! :D
LOL! Decisions, decisions.
I'm pretty sure I've done most of those. But that's what take-out is for! :)
Looking forward to your book, Crystal!
So you put off making dinner too, eh?
Who can resist the pup
But who can resist the cheese, right?
*blink* *blink*
...
*glare*
=)
eReaders are amazing just for that reason.
Hee hee hee... (She doesn't know. No, she hasn't figured out our little secret of slowly addicting the entire world to cheese...)
Ha ha! You're the LolCatz procrastinator, eh? ;)
Thanks, Meradeth. They're just too awesome, all these amazing distractions, eh?
He was searching for the cheese. ;)
Thank you, Emily. --And I agree. Take out was made for us! (Writers, that is.)
You'd have to be stone cold, right?
Lynda, thank you so much for hosting me today. (Despite complications.) You are amazing.
So cool! I may be guilty of all these.
Hi, Linda!
The pretty, pretty books get me time and time again.
The last one is a great excuse! Wallace does know his cheese.
Reading is definitely a great reason to leave dinner behind. My current Facebook game addiction is Royal Story. Hilarious list Crystal. Glad Lynda had you over.
Replace Farmville with Starcraft and we have my excuse.
lol, Dezzy. I take it you don't run amok through piles of leaves then ;)
hehe, you are most welcome :)
Starcraft (and Warcraft) massive time sinks.
The pics were a riot! (Lurv Lolcats!) I've entered the giveaway - I'd love both the books - they sound so marvelous!:-)
That was an adorable post. Love the cat with the bug on it.
Loved it. Captioning pictures is one of my most favorite (and fun) things to do, and Top Ten lists make it all the funner. Yes, funner. Thanks, both of you!
M.L. Swift, Writer
Great ideas to make my husband order take out. Thanks! And congrats on your book.
Cute post, Lynda! I could probably add to that list. My husband and I just had conversation about this topic yesterday. I am not fond of cooking! Thanks for the laughter!
LOL! Thanks, Crystal and Lyn for giving me some chuckles. Oh-so-true. CHEESE for everyone!!
Thanks for the Wallace & Gromit treat there at the end.
OMGosh I'm in love with that kitten pic!!! Big congrats Crystal! :D
Oh yes, kids and puppies rarely translate into dinner;)
Heh, so many ways not to make dinner. I practice them every night.
I'm guilty of all but the jumping in leaves. We are surrounded by pines, which drop the needles which are not much fun to jump in.
I don't play FarmVille, but there are other games on FB that are time sucks for me...
Those are funny! And of course Crystal is too busy eating cheese!
I will definitely check out Chrystal's blog.
My newest distraction is my son's fault. He introduced me to Temple Run and now I can't stop playing. Please send help.
And congrats to Crystal! Wishing her much gouda cheesy success on her novel. :))
I did a few times, before I learned my lesson and before I learned to read the smirks on my cats faces :)
Awesome!!!
Me too! But guess what!?! I discovered you can use...wait for it...AUDIO BOOKS while making dinner. *gasp*
It's all about the cheese. ;)
Me too! She's pretty awesome like that.
LOL! Here's the ironic thing. I don't actually play Farmville. My game of choice is Plants VS Zombies, but I guess that's an old trend. ;)
Here's putting in a plug for you with the god of randomness. ;)
Every time I see it I just want to rub its fur while chanting, "Fuzzy."
Why not funnerer? Or funnerest? ;)
Ha ha ha! That's right. I'll take Chinese tonight, thanks.
Are you buying? I'll bring the crackers. (Have to horde my own supply.) ;)
*waggling raised arms with clenched fists* Cheese!
Thank you, Pk, and a huge congrats to you as well!
Kids, puppies and computers, oh my!
You and me both. =)
*shudders* Well I'm surrounded by palm trees. .... .... .... Yup.
Um, I think you mean Facebook is a time suck. ;) --But a fun one.
Of COURSE, ;)
*suppressing chuckle* You mean the game where you run and run and run and try not to crash into anything? Wait, shouldn't that be called "life?" ;)
Thanks, L.G.!
my vote is for funnerer ;)
I tried Plant vs Zombies but I'm just not fast enough when everything gets chaotic on screen. Candy Crush is my current distraction.
Yeah, they do smirk, don't they... and they plot our deaths when we sleep at night too.
YES YES YES to #1!!!
Hee hee. Shall we have a cheese eating party, Stina?
LOL I cracked up about the IQ test. Guilty as charged. And I'd never say no to the puppy or to eating cheese.
I have LOVED seeing Crystal around today! I'm so very excited for her and her work looks amazing. <3
Our weaknesses run deep. ;)
=)
Excellent suggestions. Replace Farmville by Solitaire for me ;)
Huh? What happened? Oh, my mind drifted again while I was eating cheese. Cute pics.
Lovely visual post today! Congratulations to Crystal!
Love this! And that kitty with the ladybug is adorable!
Those are adorable! The kitten with the bug really cracked me up!
Congrats again, Crystal. And, yes, I have wasted a lot of time on those IQ tests.
Dinner can always wait when there's a puppy involved!
We all have a unique brand of poison, eh? (At least as far as time-sucks are concerned.)
LOL! Well, we'll forgive you. As long as there's cheese involved...
Yay! Thank you.
I know! Makes me want to go get a kitty...if it weren't for allergies. Darn allergies.
LOLCATZ are amazing, eh?
Guess you have to get smarter than the IQ tests and learn to boycott them, eh? ;)
yup. any of these will definitely halt the process of dinner-making!

Haha, these are awesome and made my day! =) I can totally relate to Crystal's obsession with cheese... it just so good.
Such a fun post. Thanks for the giggle.

I don't play the game in number 3! I swear I don't...
I don't have time because I'm too busy with other games.
And nicely. =)
You can say that again. =)
Any time!
LOL. Well, to each their own. ;)
