52 Week Challenge - Week 16

Never again.  That's what I swore after last weekend's marathon to finish our taxes before the deadline on April 18th.  So, taxes are my finished project for the week.  A needful and boring task, which, now that it is complete, is a huge weight off my shoulders.
Our dining room table late Sunday night


Do you have a task that you hate to do, procrastinate terribly about, and then, when your back is against the deadline, finally finish to your great relief? I would love to hear about it.

Let's get busy,

P.S. - Please post a link to a project you have completed this week.  I hope it was one you enjoyed more than I enjoyed mine.  It would also be welcome if you clicked on each others links, and left a comment or heart behind.

    I hear you! My project lately has been a fun one, but I still had other things to do and kept putting it off. I have to get everything ready for Easter! Bake, stuff eggs for the hunt, paint eggs, and get a basket (or 3) together. Easter kind of snuck up on me this year!

    I could write about a hundred things I hate to do and procrastinate about till the very very last minute. Taxes is one of them. The rest is every single thing I don't like and takes more than a couple of minutes to complete: reading a book that a friend insisted I read and that I have no genuine interest in; hand-washing delicate clothes; doing an inventory at work; organize work meetings; go to the dentist! I guess you get the idea :)

    Hey Kym! I totally understand and have to agree with you. We were last minute filer's ourselves. It's just not my favorite time of year. Congrats on having the weight off your shoulders!!

    My current project is distributing the enormous amounts of produce already coming from our garden. I really enjoy sharing the harvest with our international neighbors and hearing about how they plan to prepare each vegetable.

    I'm working on a huge project right now. My grad thesis project. I'm sure I won't finish it tonight but I will be finished by next Wednesday! I like the idea of finishing something every week. :) Found you via EBT. Love your Etsy avatar!

    I am the worst about procrastinating! I finished my taxes Monday and I swear I won't do that again - I hate pressure like that.

    Well I did my taxes at the last minute too! Glad it's over for another year. I always say next year I'm going to do them early - yeah right!

    I do the same thing on taxes each year! This year was AWFUL since we changed our official 'state' of resident midway through - I had no idea how complicated that was going to make things. NEVER again - if we change again, it will be on January 1!! Blech.
