what next?
11:59 PM
with the holy macbook pro.....i had a little accident. i was happily munching away on an everything bagel a good safe distance from said computer when during a regular normal every day bite a piece of garlic leapt from the side and landed squarely on my keyboard. the new shiny silver keyboard that i wipe down religiously with a soft felt cloth. i gasped! and reached carefully to reclaim the bastard spice that attempted escape as it quickly scooted down through the crack and under the L key. FUCK! soooo, i thought well....no harm no foul and promptly forgot about it. later that same evening.... i began to notice poor typing of the L. ugh. i pulled off the key, grasped the culprit using a tweezer with the steady hand of a surgeon and then could not reapply the key. tears streaming for 4 days while i waited for mac man(god) to call me back(answer my prayer)....and thus, my keyboard has been healed. thank the lord! ________________________________________________ martha from germany works at the airport and so as an employee can fly standby. she has planned to fly this weekend but flights are overbooked. overbooked so much so that 10-20 passengers are left behind each day as her flight number departs the frankfurt airport. so, friday she will arrive at work with her suitcase in tow in hopes to be able to finagle a seat to the US and if not, saturday. then sunday..... i remain on call to shuttle her here from the atlanta airport. it's my job to show her a great time when she gets here...in tallahassee. suggestions welcome. and begged for. please. help. here's what i have so far... -naps (she thinks thats all americans do anyway) - - um, yeh, thats all i've got ________________________________________________ my children are completely unable to ring a trash can. often i am greeted in the kitchen with a confetti of waste orbiting the trash can. eggshells, crumbs, wrappers, food particles and all that jazz. chelsea in particular has begun to delight in baking "topless" cookies with her friend haven at midnite. just this week, i awoke one morning to find the floor littered with flour and rosemary and there must have been a dough spill because our dish sponge was caked with dried and sticky goo while lying neatly on the kitchen drain like it had only been resting there innocently all night. ________________________________________________ why must florida produce so many bugs? ________________________________________________ instead of continuing to be crushed and disappointed when all hell breaks loose again with the kids and the shenanigans that they are getting into....i've decided to just realize that the next few years are going to be this way. they are teens and "it is what it is!" they will survive it.....most likely. i did and i was a wild thing. the pattern has been this.... -kid effs up -i freak out (cry, sleep, fret) -restrictions/high alert -kids get cool -i relax -kid effs up -i freak out ( you get the picture) no more. now it is this.... -kid effs up -restrictions/high alert -kids get cool -kid effs up -restrictions/high alert and so forth and so on until they are 18 and i move to europe. _________________________________________________ remember that disorder i have where i leave the washer lid open? well, it's beginning to spread and i am very very concerned. now, every time i get out of the shower, i have to get back in again to rinse the conditioner out of my hair. what next? 5 Comments |
