Why we will be married forever… Part 2

by tealou on August 27, 2007 in Uncategorized with 1 Comment

I have my business account that has the most money in it most of the time, and Jason doesn’t have access to it. To be able to get cash, I need to give him a slip of paper with the details on it EVERY SINGLE TIME so that he can remember my 4 digit PIN. Yesterday, I resolved to go out and get cash – and the conversation went in a direction you wouldn’t expect. Again.

Jason: “I would automatically fail the “spy” test because I can’t remember names and numbers”

Lou: “I would totally ace that part. I can remember numbers from everything. In fact, I don’t think there is an area where I would fail “spy” school”

Jason pauses, trying to think of something…

Jason: “Well… well… uhm… you’d fail the ‘Hiding behind lamp posts‘ part!”

Niiiice.

Procrastination Tools > August 24, 2007

This is how working at home can fuck you up. I have projects going, but I’m having a procrastination day. They suck.

This is my last hour of what I have accomplished:

1. Played Guitar for the first time in 4 months. Hurty fingers. Ow. Resolved to play guitar more so fingers no longer hurty.

2. Chewed on my guitar pick and thought about playing the piano in the other room (that I have also neglected), but then resolve that I really SHOULD be at my desk.

3. Had my 3rd cup of coffee.

4. Watched the Doodlebops on Disney, even though Jules is having a nap (those are some freaky lookin’ characters).

5. Played with my mobile phone.

6. Hit refresh on my emails, hoping that someone has emailed me in the last 30 seconds (my email is set to check every 5 minutes – thats TOO LONG WHEN I AM PROCRASTINATING! But too distracting if I am working, so I leave it at that.)

7. Made sure that I am ONLINE on all my IM software so that someone will rescue me, even though I really should be working.

Ugh, I hate days like this.

Nice…erm… puppies…

Jules is at the age where he is obsessed with “goggies”. he comes up to my computer all the time asking to see my desktop picture, which has a scene with dogs playing in it.

There is one thing that I have learned about trying to show your little son pictures of “puppies” and “doggy” on Google Images.

You really should turn Safesearch on.

Normally I don’t really go for the whole meme thing, but the urge to procrastinate always overrides anything else. Besides, it was Justine that tagged me, and, well, I am a sucker for cute photographers. :)

So, in the spirit of narcissism, here’s 8 things you may not know about me (unless you have read this blog for 6 years, in which case you know every minute detail about my life anyway!)

1. I have had an eating disorder since I was a teenager.

2. I am a genius. No, really. I am. You may not realise from the contents of this blog, but I have a top 2% IQ. Yay me I guess.

3. I play music and I sing. I even record that music sometimes.

4. I am a sucker for trashy reality TV, especially when it involves Brits. I love Wife Swap, Neighbours from Hell, Poor Little Rich Girls and all those “this person swaps for a feral life in Commission housing estates” hehehe.

5. I have a thing for Alec Baldwin.

6. I was not terribly popular in school. Partly because of 2) but also because I was a smart mouth.

7. I was estranged from my mother for most of my late childhood and teens, and only started talking to her in the last 5 years.

8. Having escaped near-death twice, I often feel like I am on borrowed time, and live my life accordingly.

So, here’s the folks I am tagging:

Here you go, Jen – you’re tagged! :)

They tried to make me go to rehaaaaab, I said “no, no, no”…

That phrase is all I have been singing for the last week. Don’t you hate it when songs are so catchy that they stick in your head like that?

I didn’t even know who Amy Winehouse was, except for when I saw her pictures on Perez Hilton and DListed and had no idea. Only heard the song “Rehab” 2 weeks ago and I haven’t been able to stop singing it.

Jason has caught the bug too… and we kep substituting different lyrics, e.g “Mummy tried to change my nappy, I said “no no no”" etc etc.

I am going to have to buy the album I think. its just THAT annoying. :)
