Lazy daze
December 29, 2007 by smack
Another day, another almost noon wake up time. Hey, at least today i was sort of up at 10 but then kept drifting in and out of consciousness. I guess at least that also means I got some sleep in in general. I feel motivated to be motivated. That’s not to say I’m totally motivated, but there’s an inkling of motivation to be motivated hanging out. Probably because I’m tired of the TV. we need to turn the TV off, but Factor gets all gobliny when you press that little round button that erases the magic screen. I just glanced at him and his eyes are glossed over and he has the tip of his thumb between his teeth in a gentle TV gnaw.
Wait, he just got up to blow his nose - there’s movement. As I am about to bullet out my list for today (that I’ll forget about unless I print it out, so I should print it out), I can hear The Naked Gun warbling in the background. It’s unAmerican to change the channel when The Naked Gun is on (resisting a snarky comment aimed at my best friend). Anyway, here’s what I gots to do:
- stop being so angry at the email sent by my dad
- get over the visit that never happened yesterday
- call Reyes and let her know that we can meet out if she and the rad man emerge for cocktails at some point tonight. Gotta see that girl before she heads back to Singapore! BUT, i also respect the fact that she probably needs some major alone time with her lobster
- find recipes for New Years Eve
- get some champagne from Trader Joe’s — decent champagne for not a bad price, yo!
- make a list (heehaw!) of thank you notes we need to orchestrate and send (yes, orchestrate…!)
- clean this flippin’ place
- get those damn clothes out of the belly button chair
- hang shelving
- leave the house and take care of some photos!!
- exercise?
i know I’ve got more. But most importantly, I am going to turn the TV off in at least an hour.
I love your blog. You’re absolutely hilarious…I hate to get serious on you, but your first bullet is great. I used to get mad at stupid questions my Dad would ask me about computers, or get frustrated at him complaining about my little brother and asking why he won’t pick up the phone. But he passed away last year and now I really miss all the stupid questions and complaints about my little brother and I feel really guilty for feeling the way I did.
Okay, back to loving life…I need to shower and brush my teef. My breaf be kickin’ like Bruce Lee, yo!

Aww thanks! you’re so right about the dad stuff and probably family stuff in general. I always do the knee jerk “WTF>!!>!>!> I’m a grown ass woman!!!” reaction first and then I sort of calm down and make myself believe that he cant help it. he’s a dad.
It just occurred to me that this was the name of our house. ha!
Factor is O-Kay in my book. Nobody should dare turn off the tv in my presence. I seem to remember a time when you would watch MTV 24-7? That’s because you’re really more into music than you are tv. Nate is the same way. He’ll be playing his iPod or a CD and I’m like, damn, can I turn on the tv? My iPod has been in the “repair shop” for over a month now and I’m just mildly annoyed. Nate would be out of his mind. Consequently, Nate listens to what would be considered “hip” music…my iPod contains selections that would make you pee your pants. I can’t wait to get it back so I can do the whole “put-your-iPod-on-random-and-list-the-songs-survey,” so you can snicker at your un-cool Ohio farmtown friend. I have embraced the nature of my music, I am no longer embarrassed, I like what I like. It’s “eccelectic,” my taste, if not “hip.” You will be proud to know there’s no Nickelback though. =)
Hey love nuggin, stoked I made the bullets! Sorry I didn’t get to see you before I skipped town (note to self: 18hr flight is not when you should decide to fly coach — remember to beat travel agent!) — glad to see you & Fax at the onset. I’ll catch you on the flip-side (which by all accounts should be sometime in Feb). Miss y’all already!!
