Dressing Gown - alternate title: if only i had a brain

My choices were many.  In the weeks pending pay day I pondered my options and decided on the blue and white one.  It turned out to only be in stock in small and could not encompass the sweeping expanse of my arse.  I purchased the pale green one with roses instead :)


A very lazy long weekend so far.  The quandary of whether to rise early and secret easter eggs around my niece's and nephews yard resolved by them going camping out at the farm.

I have let myself into their home, driven by the urge for avocado on toast with salt & pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.  I don't own a toaster.  Must do something about that one day.

I suspect my beloved Blossom-cat is stealing my pillow as I type.

I know I said I was going to post this yesterday, but .... when I entered the pre-paid credit voucher into the computer it kept saying it was an invalid number.  I went back to the newsagency to check they hadn't given me something meant only for a mobile phone or something instead, but no.  Tried a few more times on the off chance it was just some kind of connection glitch.  Notification popped up to say I'd had to many tries and now needed to contact telstra on 1258880.  Tried to call that number and the recordings only seemed to give mobile phone options.  Called four or five times to test the various options as there was no 'press star to go backwards' option.

Was feeling a little cross.  Sat down to sulk.  Suddenly realised that I'd bought a virgin pre-paid credit and that I was actually with Telstra for my internet.

sigh

Looked at the back of the box the sticky thing had come in.  Realised the service number looks the same as a mobile phone number.  Realised this was the box for the second stick I had bought when the cats broke the first one and therefore this service number was no good to me as I had put the old sim card into the new stick and that I had no idea where the first box was.

Had brilliant idea of then just getting the second sim card activated, but after sitting on hold and listening to music for ten or more minutes after being put through by the automated service, concluded there was nobody picking up and gave up. 

Reminded myself it was long weekend/Easter and people are allowed to have time off and don't have to stay slaving away at work just because I want something.  Read a book instead.

Hahahahahahahahaha

The eldest asked her husband to go get her a sausage in bread - so that she could fold it and eat it one handed - rather than a bun. 

Husband did not see bread out. 

Husband is an engineer type person.

Instead of asking for sandwich bread he has cut a groove into a halved bun, so that the sausage sits neatly inside.

I can't help but feel I look a bit worried here.

Possibly my latest niece Caitlyn had just made a suspicious noise deep down in her innards?

Possibly I was experiencing a sudden realisation that a three month old baby isn't big enough to hide behind when somebody is sneakily taking your photo.

W00T!!!!!

I JUST REMEMBERED!!!!!
I got paid today!
so I can go buy that dressing gown I wanted :)
I've been looking forward to this for weeks
and I can buy some internet for at home over the long weekend too
and perhaps I shall take a photo of it
(the dressing gown not the internet)
and you will probably think it boring and plain
(ditto)
and not understand why i wanted it
probably y'all prefer those terry towelling kind
thick plush cotton robes
or those fake velvety velor things
or floaty silky nylon shit
you will say it looks like something a granny would wear
*blows raspberry*

Day before holidays

okay
lets face it
i am going mental today
there are things i could do
but i don't wanna

so really that means i am torturing myself

i am sure i have previously floated the idea that my subsconcious hates me and takes every given oportunity to sabotage me

which means subconscious-me is also sabotaging itself
which would mean i am at the mercy of a sadistic-masochist

which sounds horrible, doesn't it?
i suffer, right?
so, like, you should all be super nice to me, right?
right?

i want a pony

I'm bored and I can't change my header photo again because it has been less than twenty-four hours since I did that before and changing it again seems frivolous and besides I rather like all the wallpaper and was thinking it would look really funky if I ever own a home of my own, which I don't really expect to do cause I am reckless and thoughtless with money and have no self control and there is nothing interesting me on the net and the pizza is delayed, cause they forgot to make one, and did I mention we are having pizza at work today? well we are, cause of the long Easter weekend.

There were some kids in the office this morning.  Two 5 year olds, a 4 year old and a 13 year old.  We were doing some drawing whilst their parents were in meetings. Above is my drawings and below is the 13 year olds (except for teh dragon which is also mine).  I am contemplating whether I should stick them to the lunchroom fridge or not.



















The five and four year olds gave their pictures to their mother.

Thinkin' stuff

Well gosh darnit!
I should have held out.
I have no self control.
Don't think I am going to be able to get another day off but.
Only got away with April's because I booked it before they extended my contract.
If only it were a saturday.

*hums thoughtfully*
