1) Procrastination seems to be the word of the day ... I can't seem to find a whole lot of motivation. Not sure why. Maybe I can blame it on the overcast autumn day?
2) So long my beloved friend ... my microwave took a fatal dump the other day. Seems Single Son was cooking some bacon in it when it exploded. Well, not entirely exploded, but the door blew open. Followed by a grease fire - and the charred remains of the paper plate and paper towels being all that was left (the bacon disintegrated) ... the house stunk for two days!! What's sadder than losing my dear friend was the fact that no one - and I mean *no one* (besides Single Son) heard the BOOM of the explosion! What I wouldn't have given to see him jump out of his skin!
3) What makes this funny is that years ago I was ticked off at one of the kids and said something about "you're out of my will". Their comeback was "oh no!! That means I won't get the microwave". It's turned into a family joke, that the only thing I have of value *was* my microwave. And was is obviously the operative word here.
4) Guess I ask Santa for a new microwave? I have some extra money floating around, but it's reserved for my upcoming mini-vacation to Chicago at the end of the month.
5) My car is still running, LOL. It's a miracle if you ask me. Now that gas is almost affordable again I'm only putting about a half tank worth of gas in it. Guess I just don't wanna waste a tank full in the event the car finally dies? Then again, I guess Married Son could always syphon the tank for me.
6) Had a doctor's appointment yesterday. I'm NOT happy with myself. I've gained four pounds in the three months since I last saw him. Grrrrrrrr.
7) Is it bad karma to laugh at someone who is falling flat on his face? Even if the person stabbed you and your family in the back and deserves what he's getting? Yeah, my latest ex ... I was curious as to how his life was going since we split so I went to his myspace page. Couldn't help but actually smile and say out loud "poor baby" (insert sarcasm here) when I read of his woes. And no, I don't feel bad. Which in some odd way makes me feel bad that I don't feel bad for him.
8) Nothing to report on the Polly front. Haven't seen her since class on Saturday but then, I refuse to give her my email addy or phone numbers. I learned THAT lesson early on!
9) Guess I should find something for dinner. Something healthy and low calorie. Not too messy, as I'll be dining over the text books once again. I'm thinking salad ... chicken salad sounds good.
10) Oh geesh, I just had a thought. With the microwave having died what am I going to do with all of those microwave meals we have. Hmmmmm.
Alright, on that I'm outta here. Dinner and homework are calling me.
#2 - Sorry for your loss.
ReplyDelete#7 - Yes, I'm afraid that it is bad karma - but maybe not if you don't say it to his face :). How about if you just marvel at how karma worked for him (I gather it wasn't a happy breakup).
#8 - Smart move
#10 - A lot of them can be cooked in the oven.
i read em's comment and saw her response to #8, and then for some reason my mind was still stuck on that subject of people when i read the next line, "a lot of them can be cooked in the oven"....what's worse is i laughed at my little mental mistake instead of being appalled...i think we should be worried about me!
ReplyDeleteEm, lol, yeah, it's a sad day here - Mr. Microwave is dead and gone. I think I have a bunch of those microwave meals that can be cooked in the oven, but I'm wondering how those microwave noodle dishes will taste if they're cooked on the stove. And wouldn't you know it, that's the majority of meals I bought.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me ... marveling how Karma has worked for him. It wasn't a nasty break, until he was long gone and the truth started coming out. Let's just suffice it to say he's got a lot of bad Karma coming his way.
Amy ... LMAO ... not sick ... not sick at all. Some people deserve what they get. LMAO ...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a new microwave.. how do you cook microwave dinners in plastic containers unless you have a microwave..one wonders LOL
