Oh, I totally will post photos. When I remember...
& why exactly are you doing this if you find it so boring?
Welcome to the wonderful world of ADD!
No, seriously...
You see, I find it almost impossible to concentrate on only one thing at a time.
Right now, at work, I have my iPod playing lots of music at me, so that I can concentrate on work. Whereas, if it's totally silent, my mind will wander.
Similarly, if I'm reading a book, I'll probably be walking round and round in circles at the same time.
And if I'm cooking, I have the tv on in the background (or sometimes music playing instead).
If I'm watching TV, I'll be playing cards, or patting my cat, or cross-stitching.
If I'm needing to think about something, I'll probably start a game of minesweeper, or walk around talking loudly to myself, or take notes on my own thoughts.
Otherwise, I just won't stay on track. For pretty much anything.
So, while watching TV is something to do while I'm cross-stitching, cross-stitching is also something to do while I'm watching TV. I need to keep my hands busy.
...and at the end of it, I end up with a pretty picture to hang up in my house. Hooray!
