So... all of y'all know Mother Nature and I have been sparing for months now, right? I mean, sometimes she beats that crap out of me and sometimes I... well, let's just say I use my freakin' aerosol hairspray to screw with her mood a little. No, I'm just kidding. I just use the hairspray to paralyze spiders the size of small dogs.
Anyway, I had big plans for today. BIG! I was going to do some patio/yard work, then gardening (there is a difference, one is cleaning up A MILLION PINE NEEDLES and other weird tree crap, killing weeds, pulling weed TREES, spraying my beautiful plants so that the gawt damn GREEN BUGS stop making salads out of them and the other is planting more flowers), grill our dinner and pressure Andy into mowing the lawn, maybe catch a movie...
INSTEAD!
Mother Nature decided to send our county a tornado. With apocalyptic rain. Luckily, it didn't come near us and the cable and Internet were okay.
When the rain calmed down a little, I went to put my steak and Andy's salmon on the grill. I figured I'd be okay, it's only a little water (contrary to popular belief, witches DO NOT MELT IN WATER you'll have to think of something else). I was able to flip them once but when it was time to go get them, it was as if someone was dumping an endless bucket of water over my freakin patio!
.
What to do? I don't mind my steak well done but I'm not really sure about the salmon (not liking seafood makes me think it'll taste like crap no matter what) so I should get it as soon as possible, no time to wait for the rain to stop.
I couldn't have been out there for more than 1 minute and came back into the house leaving mini oceans in my wake!
When my hair finally dried, it looked like I'd stuck my finger in a light socket thanks to the humidity.
BUT! MY POINT FOR THIS POST IS... We were so unbelievably bored!
How bored were we?
Well, Andy decided to stand by my desk chair, pull his T-Shirt over my head WHILE HE WAS WEARING IT and started saying "Look! I'm preeeeegnant!" somebody send me a straight jacket!
He finally went back to his dungeon and I flipped the channel to The Osmond's 50th reunion. Yeah, you read that right. Don't worry, I changed the channel after Donny Osmond sang "Puppy Love".
What do you do when your house is clean, can't go outside, you can't leave the house because the annoying Emergency Announcement keeps telling you to abandon your car if you're out and about since the tornado might send you AND your car somewhere unpleasant like... Kansas??
I'll tell you what you do. You shift around on your uncomfortable leather sofas, constantly getting Indian burns from your skin sticking to the damn leather!
I went to look through our movie library but couldn't find anything I wanted to watch and finally settled on season 3 of Friends. You know what? They still crack me up!
So there you have it. A long boring post because of a BORING SATURDAY.
Please please let tomorrow be better! I'm hoping the words "I need to go back to work!" never pass through my lips.
It's IMPOSSIBLE to be bored @ Humor-Blogs so click and laugh!
One way to stop being bored, is to be
ReplyDeleteF I R S T !!!!!!
2: Sleep.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're bored, you can't do anything that requires concentration, like read a book, or whatever. This means you must be tired, so you should sleep.
Of course, this then messes up the rest of your life, when you get up and try and go to work at 3 in the morning.
3: Take up a mindless hobby. Such as knitting. Or reconstructing the Titanic out of cocktail sticks.
ReplyDeleteThis might make you even more bored...
4: There were some hilariously witty and entertaining blog posts yesterday - how could you be bored?

ReplyDeleteI loved the part where Andy's boredom caused him to do that thing with his shirt! That made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh, now atleast I'm no longer bored!
Wow, that almost sounds like my regular day!
ReplyDeleteSonofabitch can you believe my post today is about how Mother Nature has put a hit out on me?!!!
ReplyDeleteI think if we gang up, we can take her.
You go first though.
She scares me!! :)
For the record, that was a pretty heavy-duty storm. It will take years for Pianosa to recover.

It didn't rain by me, that's weird since we live only a few miles away.
I think you should have a baby, it will give you something to do when you are bored.
