I Lurve… Oh, pretty much everyone…

28 February, 2008

So Linda over at sketched out gave me this, sweet right? You should go check out her site, she’s a hoot! Especially the turkey suicide attempt that she drew yesterday… That suicide note makes me giggle every time.

Now I guess the name of the game is to pass this along to all the sites I lurve… Only there are too many to name them all…

I love Ali over at Cheaper than Therapy, because she’s a total girly girl!

Also Romi over at Year of the Chick, because her stories are the best. I think it’s because she uses all the best euphemisms for sex, and naughty bits.

And Talea from No Really - It’s Just My Face, because no one rants like Talea rants…

Of course I couldn’t forget Wendy from Thoughts in My Pants, because she does a pretty good rant also, and no one I know knows more about comics and stuff than she does. Also her blogs name makes me giggle.

Stacey from Memoirs of Queen Bitch, because even though we’re not in the same town anymore I love that I still get to hear about what she’s up to, and who she hates, and how crappy her weekend has been, or how awesome that book she read was.

And I couldn’t forget Alice, over at Alice’s Wonderland because she makes even the little things funny, and worth writing and reading about. Go take a look, and remember that I told you so.

And now I will stop, because, come on! I couldn’t possibly lurve EVERYONE on my blogroll right!? Except I kinda do. They’re all pretty freaking awesome…

Even if I don’t get enough time to comment on all of their posts like I did when I was still in possession of my computer Marvin.

Short attention span…

12 February, 2008

I have a confession to make.

I have a short attention span.

I often find myself half-way through a project with no desire to finish. Usually I’ll wander off and find something else to do until yet another cooler, better thing comes along. On a bad day I’ll be bored before I even begin, so nothing gets done at all. Those are the days you’ll find me camped out under my desk reading a romance novel.

When I dress in the morning I do it in bits, wandering between making my bed, eating breakfast and applying makeup. It takes forever and most mornings I’m over it before I even get out of bed. I set the alarm for another 10 minutes and hope that the prospect of finding a matching pair of socks doesn’t seem so daunting after a short nap.

During work hours I flick between emails, typing letters, filing, surfing the net, opening letters, writing on my blog, answering the phone and playing solitaire. To keep myself from staring at the wall behind my computer like a broken-down robot I multitask (badly). Most mornings I open the stack of mail and flick between reading Bossy, scanning the newspaper, and sometimes eating my weetbix.

My short attention span manifests itself in other ways too.

My food cupboard at home is full of half eaten boxes of cereal (I can only get half way through before I lose interest and must switch brands.) The diving course that I saved and pined and whined forever for has yet to be completed, just because I’ve found about a ton of other new and interesting things to do before finishing it. I have half a dozen posts in various stages of completion (one from 5 months ago!!) that are in need of photos, which are in turn in need of retouching.

Having a short attention span is a bit of a pain in the butt. I annoy the heck out of people, and I miss out on finishing many otherwise awesome projects, and if often gets me in the shit with my boss.

Luckily there are some things in life that, so far, have remained impervious to my inability to focus for long periods of time. Things like kickboxing, horses, trashy books, movies, and blogs - in particular this one, written by Pioneer Woman Ree, which has kept me hooked for MANY hours recently.

I suggest you take a look, because she takes photos, cooks, tells an amazing story or two, and occasionally suffers from a doppelganger! Just like me! (I think she handled it better than I did though.)
