One day at a time

May 27, 2008

1067 words yesterday ! :) again-the quality of writing nothing outstanding and wey too random and off track but at least its something.

AND …………..found the bottom of the washing basket ! Applied for two jobs AND got called up for a job interview next week ! yay. Maybe I’m not old, washed up and unwanted as I was beginning to think I was. As far as the credit card bill goes, head still firmly in the sand on that one. Might reach Madagasca if I keep this up .

 359 days left and still counting …:)

 still surfing the great wave of writers blogs, and searching for my 365 favourites- list slowly growing. leave a comment with a link to yours and I’ll swing by !

Going no where …

May 26, 2008

At least thats what it feels like. Wanna know what I did yesterday ? Bugger all really when I look back.

I should have applied for two jobs as we are slowly drowning in debt and I need to get back into the work force and earn some money. I should have immersed myself in the ever growing washing pile and washed and dried and folded at least 3 loads. I should have at least done some housework because at the moment, if we were burgled I reckon they would leave 10 bucks on the side out of sympathy because it looks like we’ve already been done over! I should have made some stuff for a shop that wants to buy it off me and got off my bum and gone up to see them. I should have rung the plumber because we have a crazy water leak and I think we are going to have to dig up the concrete drive to get at the pipe. oh and I should have rung the credit card people and told them that there is no way we can pay the $300 overdue amount ‘immediately’ as they requested and plead for more time.

What I did instead – I wrote. Yeah. I wrote. 914 words. Or should I say 914 rubbish words. I also read. I spent wey too much time surfing around other writers blogs- thinking how clever and talented they are- and how I’m SO NOT.  The washing pile grew higher. I hid the credit card bill under a seat in the car ??! I nearly ran out of petrol,  I tried to multitask while cooking dinner and make a quiche at the same time ( I am such a domestic goddess NOT!) but when I came to serve up the quiche for 3 little lunches- I realised the pastry wasn’t cooked AT ALL and I had to put it back in the oven this morning, then got caught up in the school run and came home to a very burnt inedible pile of eggs, cheese and ham. (Yep- if you googled ‘slummy mummy’ it would come up with my name and addy.)

So today, I’m going to …ring the credit card people and beg, beg, beg plead financial ruin, apply for the two jobs, fold the 2 loads of clean washing currently slung on my unmade bed, wash the three loads of washing on the kitchen floor, get dressed before 10.30, clean up this dump of a house, get off the internet and get some work done for the shop.

so I’d better blogger off …………….

ps : Well over a hundred hits on my blog and only 3 comments ? Come on guys and girls if your reading this leave me a comment and a link to your blog – and I promise I will swing by yours- just as soon as I’ve got my life together a bit and allow myself back on the net ……………or maybe my writing is so bad your not hanging around long enough to press ‘run away and never come back’ button let alone ‘comment’ button?!

note to self. use spell check cos I’m crap !
