PRODUCTIVITY

Thank God I finally got my laptop back! I have been without for a week. I had to ship it off to the company that covers our warranty plan because it would not charge anymore. Minor detail, charging and all. The laptop was only gone a week, but it felt like forever!

Nothing much new here. Just working, working, working and trying to keep up on everything else. Not that I am being very successful on the "everything else" front. I need a clone. One that is not opposed to cleaning bathrooms, folding laundry and maybe filing the mountain of paperwork in my office.

I can't believe that it is almost March. I have so much to do this upcoming month it is not even funny. I almost don't know where to start. Again, the clone would come in handy right about now. I have a long way to go on sales goals for the quarter. I am still waiting for my promotion to be approved. I am way behind on my CASA reporting. I am taking over the Pre K/K Sunday School class in May. The house........still a disaster. *sigh* I need more hours in the day. Or the ability to not sleep.

And people wonder why the average American housewife is the newest user of Meth. If only it didn't destroy your teeth, make you pick at your skin, and literally rot from the inside out. Such a pretty picture. I think I will just hope for a clone instead.

FOUND IN THE IN BOX

My husband and I communicate primarily through text messaging during the day. It is usually quicker than a phone call and it is unusual that both of us have time to be on the phone at the same time.

My inbox is full again. I always re-read my messages before I delete them, as sometimes he sends me phone numbers or contact info that needs saving. Other times it is just funny stuff.

Such as:

Cars are gay.

Poor honey was having a really bad day at work. He is a mechanic and was spending day 3 on a particularly hideous job. A Mercury Mystique, renamed the Mercury MISTAKE that kept developing new problems after being put back together. Problems that necessitated pulling the same damn thing back apart.

2.5.07

U owe the recycle guy cookies or something

I cleaned out my car using the recycle bin as a storage container. Then I threw newspapers on top of the pile, at the time thinking that I should not forget that there was a lot of important crap in the bottom of that little plastic tub. The aforementioned recycle guy spared me the loss of my tire chains, a pair of shoes and some expensive incentive items from work.

What time will my honey be home? i miss her.

Awww! What a sweet honey! =)

2.6.07

I fucked up the 2 star sudoku. infiniti caller 3 is on his way over.

Sudoku is an obsession at our house. It used to be just for my husband, but he insisted that I learn how to sudoku too. Now I think he regrets that decision because I do all of his puzzles.
As for the Infiniti guy, we are trying to sell a 92 Infiniti that does not run. We have it listed on Craigslist and lots of people call and say that they want it and are coming to pick it up. We have yet to see one of these "prospective buyers" in the flesh.

Anna nicole smith is dead.

My honey knows that I am a celebrity news whore and I was out of town for work that day. I had already heard the news, but thought that it was funny that he went out of his way to make sure I was up to date on the latest news.

2.9.07

careful down foster. they are doing crosswalk stings.

Just my honey looking out for me and making sure I didn't get an expensive traffic ticket we can't afford. The cops set up stings to catch people that don't stop at unmarked intersections for pedestrians. In Oregon, if you step off the curb, traffic moving right along or not, everyone is supposed to come to a screeching halt for your all important ass.

2.12.07

Miss u. and i don't need more chili for dinner.

Hubby had eaten chili two days in a row. I was threatening to sleep in the garage.


And some interesting responses from me:

1.26.07

I hate her

I think this was in reference to the one and only coworker I don't like. At least I am not alone in my dislike. She is not nice. Ever. And that just sums it up best.

1.25.07

Its doing it again.

Sent moments before the tensioner pulley blew up on my car while I was an hour from home. Fortunately I made it home. And not an inch further.

1.18.07

Sweet! How is my tired honey?

I don't know what the 'sweet' was in reference too, but I love my honey right back!

There is a bunch of other random crap in there, but this was the best of the bunch.
What is in your text messaging folders?

THE QUEEN OF MULTITASKING

Been a little busy of late. Good busy though. Not the kind where you feel that you no longer have any say in what you do, where you go and who you spend time with.

Nope, this is the good kind. I feel productive. I still get to spend quality time with my honey. I see my girlfriends and even have time to do some of the things I love (like making treats for the office) and spending the day with my Grandma.

That being said, I don't seem to post much when I am busy. So for all two or three of you who read this.....sorry. I read your blogs every day. I just don't post to mine very often. But I do love reading yours and keeping up with you via the web!

I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I still lurk. =)
