just to bore you. |
June 25, 2009 | Filed Under Bloggityville, stupid crap | 28 Comments |
I’ve decided to bore you with live blogging my day today and maybe even tomorrow. Why? Well, I realized the other day how much Twitter takes away from my blogging. That micro-blogging site is so smart and I enjoy it so much but there are pretty much a million negative things about it. Like you know, I’M ADDICTED.
stupid twitter. Yesterday, I tweeted “I blame twitter for everything.’ and I do. That blanket statement is so true. (by the way, are you following me, why not? JOIN THE TWITTER PARTY LIKE NOW!)
so, I’m going to live blog today, which means you can come back here 79 times today and perhaps I’ll have updated 79 times which means this will be the most BORING DAY OF BLOGGING EVER.
Aren’t you excited?
One of the biggest reasons I’m doing this is for selfish reasons, I need to get some stuff done today and I’m thinking I can keep coming here today and tell you want I need to do and what I just did and maybe it will be one big productive day. Or maybe I’ll just come back tonight and be like “so today I ate a waffle cone and a box of teddy grahams and then I took a nap. good night.“ Which pretty much sums up my day yesterday. (I did clean three bathrooms, it wasn’t a total loss.)
Let me catch you up to speed.
First and most importantly, this is on my island right now. Brian made me the cone last night. He also accidentally left the ice cream out, but I saved the ice cream’s life by noticing a few hours later.
The cones are still on the island and I am a hero.
I woke up way too early when Racecar came into my room at 6:40 which is totally not allowed in my house. Somehow he left me alone until 8:30. Not sure what he did but he’s still alive and that’s all that matters. Right?
This is what I look like today. I took two showers yesterday so I think I can go showerless for many days now. That’s the rule, right?
All of these pictures were taken with my iPhone. I’m sorry they are so tiny.
I need to clean these two rooms today. The living room and the kitchen. Like REALLY clean them.
Looking at these two rooms I realize how very BEIGE I am. NEED COLOR.
And I need to do some laundry. These whites have been on the kitchen floor since OHMYGODSUNDAY. I need to add to the pile since we have sooooooo many more items to add to that pile but they are ALL THE WAY UPSTAIRS. SEND HELP.
For breakfast I had 1 and a 1/2 piece of whole wheat toast. It was not good, so I quit eating it. I’ve also put make-up on and have a bra on and running shoes, I’ve also made my bed. But I do those things everyday.
I also posted over here today.
So, I’m going to leave now and make lunch, give Racecar medicine and try to check something off of my to-do list.
What are you doing today?
****
It’s now 1:51 and I really haven’t done anything except make lunch, eat lunch, water some plants, give medicine to my little, tiny, precious, angel boy and put a load of whites in the washer.
The neighbors behind us put a pool in yesterday. I may be spending waaay too much time starting longingly at their pool. (yes, I know…THE UPKEEP. Don’t care. Need pool.) This is also the time of day where my body requires a nap. Am so tired. Status of living room and kitchen? Still messy.
DANGIT.
Right now I’m emailing back and forth with Kim about her Etsy shop which is made up of the awesome.
Bored, yet?
****
and it’s 3:26 and I haven’t done anything. I’m really, really tired. So, I took a nap and am now drinking a diet coke. Have I told you that I get energy around five? It’s true. Also? I’m tired. Have I told you that?
My girls are coming over tonight after the kids go to bed. That should give me motivation, right?
Why are you guys so quiet today? Are you in your pool? Don’t tell me if you are. If you are, I’m coming over.
When you are tired and have to get stuff done, what do you do? HELP ME, MAN.
****
It’s 4:38 and I have good news. I started cleaning the living room, I even organized our craft cabinet. Also? According to twitter, Michael Jackson is dead.
****
It’s 6:51. It’s been a busy few hours. Brian came home from work, we picked our van up from the shop (window was broken…AGAIN.), and I just got back from the grocery store.
This may be it for it now, I need to make guacamole dip, two different kinds of brownies and well…CLEAN.
My girls are coming over and we love to eat.
Obviously.
i love this live blogging…fun. except, i CANNOT let myself come check 79 times….tempting, but too much to do.
i deleted my twitter account because i didn’t do it very much anyway, but felt like when i did i was too focused on other people’s lives instead of my own. that sounds selfish. i just wanted to be in more of my own moment than i was. {though i’d be sinfully jealous of all the great conversations you’ve probably had with fun people today!!}
i need to print “not pregnant” across every shirt i own. lol {that would be so attractive}
i LOVE color! a really easy way that you can change color in your living room often are couch pillow slipcovers. they have pretty ones on etsy. oh, here the 1st one i found…

i am tidying to go on vacation tomorrow! i like to come home to a spotless house….but have to remember to leave enough time to pack and go to dinner @ a friend’s tonight.
you’re totally ahead of me w/ make-up and a bra!! {i refused to let the girls run down to answer the door for the schwan’s man because i didn’t have a bra on!!} =)
okay–good talking w/ ya….back to work!!
colorful pillowcases are a fun way to bring color for sure!! I need to do bring more color to my place too, I’ve been trying… not so well though
I know what you mean about Twitter. I love it but it is definitely a distraction.
And I’m totally guilty of sleeping in while my kids are awake. They are 7 and 9 so I guess that is ok at this point. (Although I did it when they were younger too, but ssshh that is our little secret.)
Love your live blogging! Today I am entertaining my two youngest because my two oldest are at camp and it is so much harder to have just the two because they don’t know what to do with themselves without the other two so they constantly bug me to be their entertainment. Phew! Chick-fil-A, the mall, glow-in-the-dark mini-golf, Wal-Mart. Now I’m locked in my room for a few minutes of computer time.
I like the live blogging idea. Here’s the part that cracked me up. I now have this visual of you with your pretty make up face in a bra and running shoes. I’m assuming you have on more than that though. I am right, right?
I have an idea…You put up a pool and I will come over to help you clean it in exchange for laying on a raft.
Thanks, I am now craving an ice cream cone.
If you put up a pool, I will clean it. And Shane will make you food! Win-win situation? Really, I’m pissed at pools right now because our stupid 8 foot supposedly up in ten minutes pool has been such a fiasco, but I would still like a body of water to put myself in, preferably bigger than the bathtub, since I’m currently close to bigger than the bathtub.
I’ve done nothing today. Literally nothing. I’m not even wearing a bra or makeup or brushed my teeth. I plan on doing all of these things, it’s just that you know… it takes a lot of energy to get up off the couch.
Ahhh, entertainment!
The trick with the pool is….just use your neighbors! Don’t have to deal with the upkeep, get to know your neighbors in the event of a fire, flood or act of God, get to enjoy the pool and did I mention you don’t have to deal with the upkeep?
What a full interesting day you are having.
Hop on over to my blog to read about what we did so far today.
When I’m tired and I have to get stuff done, I give myself small goals and rewards. Such as….get up off my ass and dust the house and I earn 10 minutes of computer time. Get up again and do a load of laundry and then I can sit and watch tv while I fold it. Clean a bathroom and I earn a snack and some more computer time. Silly, but it works.
When I’m tired and can’t get stuff done, I just stay on the couch and make excuses for why it isn’t done. It’s a pretty sweet way to live.
you are so silly!!
When I have a hard times getting things done.. I just don’t do them!
Glad I could be of service.
p.s. I <3 twitter.. its not the root of all evil..
Holy crap, I know this isn’t supposed to be funny but IT SO IS. I am gthe same way. F cleaning when you have internet! Viva La Technology!
OMG. I’m so tired I just made some coffee. It’s 103 degrees and I’m drinking hot coffee. Have I lost my mind? Why don’t you come over and we’ll hang out in the river and drink cold Miller Lite? I’ll make you dinner. Oh wait, the girls are coming over? I’ll be there and you can serve me cold Miller Lite and maybe some mozzarella bites with A1? Now that, sounds like a plan!! SMFD!
I love your kitchen.
I know what you mean about twitter.
I keep telling myself I’m going to limit my computer time, and there’s always something else I need to work on or finish. My house seems to suffer more each week.
I see nothing wrong with your day – especially since it’s very similar to mine and I find nothing wrong with mine. LOL
This post is awesome. So much for trying to be boring, lady. Sorry. Not happening.
When I need to get stuff done I usually find something else to distract myself, such as reading blogs or playing Bejeweled Blitz, and then get all offended when my husband comes home and asks what I did all day.
Works for me.
Maybe we’re just as bored as you are~~!! I just heard that Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died today…gosh what will the tabloid Magazines have to talk about next week??
live blogging! is ther emore since I last clicked?
Can I just tell you reading this was fun! I feel like I lived with you today!
Kiss the girls for me.
I’m a twitter addict too. Think there’s a 12-step program yet? Enjoyed your “live” posting, even though I’m tardy…
Hope you had a great time with your girls!
I have a pool. Wanna come over?
Are you gonna do this again today (Friday?). I think I’ll do it too. Yours will be funnier.
this was a neat post. I like to read about other peoples days, and bloggy home tours too!
Thanks for sharing your day
I’m glad I’m not the only one that procrastinates on the laundry… lol!
Hey, if you’re not able to rescue the ice cream next time, try making ice cream bread!

I totally want to live in your kitchen. Holy everloving crap it’s HUGE! Mine is a shoebox
So I’m late to the party, but I wanted to say something. You get tired in the afternoon and get energy around 5? Are you my twin? I actually start getting energy around 4:30, but it’s a negligible difference. You know what I do when I’m tired and have a lot to do? Take a nap.
Or watch The Real Housewives of Wherevertheyhappentobethisseason on my DVR. It’s really the only thing to do. You can’t just magically get energy, so give in to the slump.
