Yadda yadda yadda…do you ever want to say that to someone on the phone when they drone on andon AND ON and you are just like…eyes rolled into the back of your head, nodding your head and your mouth agape, wondering why in heck there is no one there to save you from this torment by ringing your doorbell or telling you to get off the phone so they can use it? O.K., was just wondering. ‘Cause there ARE days…and last nite was it for me…one of my girlfriends was telling me this story for like, the FIFTH time and well, I had just had ENOUGH! OK, gonna quit blabbing about it now…
So how was your Monday? huh? didja enjoy yourself? or would you have sooner been in bed or in your coziest chair, reading the latest literary find from the bookstore/library? Me too. And of course, my weekend went by in the blink of an eye…oh, how sickly poetic that was back < —there.
Gonna pay off my damned AmEx card bill tomorrow. YAY! Ever since I bought that Kenmore air conditioner from Sears this July, I somehow got underneath all the statements and rather than pay them, I just kept getting them lost in the shuffle of junk that is the Dayton’s shopping bag of stuff that serves as a neat AND functional doorstop for the kitchen swinging door.
…that bag of stuff is the result of a long, drawn out processing of mine. I am one of those people who, upon retrieving my mail, I plop the stuff down on the dining room table where it sits ’til the weekend when I have time to at least sit and pore through it. Then when I DO read the crap, I just sort of lay it all in a trashy pile on the end table in the living room. I sometimes pull the important stuff out and just fold it up and put it in my bag that I bring to work, and deal with it during lunch or the commute downtown. Then when people come over or when I just can’t seem to place anything else on the table, I shove the stuff into that bag.
—I found some cool stuff in there the other day. An eyeglass case I thought I’d lost. A Subway club card full and ready to redeem for a free samwich…an old cd I accused someone of stealing, some cool blue-colored post it notes on a pad and a half pack of gum. I put all my lost-and found treasures into my junk drawer where they will get shuffled yet some more amongst the pile of rubble already in there and any other junk I might add to it in the coming months.
…what’s in YOUR junk drawer? tell me and be HONEST
well, that’s all for now…waaaay past mah bedtime, dammit.
Today’s Quip:“Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.”
