most days i'm hard-pressed to consider myself productive. which is sad, productive is one of my favorite adjectives, productivity an excellent measurement. i love getting things done and crossing items off my list, but i typically need deadlines to do so. this is why i like doing so much at one time, keeping busy. i'm much more productive that way.
in any case, i don't have a lot of deadlines these days nor necessary deliverables. so when i get on a kick, i'm really happy. a few weeks ago, i was the ultimate multitasker. i was at home alone adding music to my computer - fun stuff, too: tricky, mtv party to go (go 90s!), old school mariah carey, and some rap. i was also drinking wine, chatting online, watching law and order on tv, listening to french podcasts on my computer and texting my brother, who, btw, was at hooters. no comment. last night was another good example, beating my mom in cards, watching american idol and reading news on my laptop. good times.
anyway, today was a good day for getting things done. my mother and i ran a ton of errands: dropping off recycling (they don't pick it up here in fargo), got some chai, picked up medication for my gma, got groceries, dropped mom off for a hair appointment, went to the bank (saw my brother's roommate), schlotzsky's (mmmm), aunt's house to drop off empty wine bottles, picked up mom, went to bed bath and beyond then macy's and then saw he's just not that into you. whew. busy day. when we got home, ready to settle down for the night, my brothers gfriend texted asking if we were going to homie's basketball game. i didn't even know that was a thing to do. so we all get up and head to my old high school to watch some 20 and 30 year olds toss the ball around. no, it was more organized than that. but i can't remember what kind of basketball it is. it's not pro. and not amateur. and not after-school ball. man, i'm messed up. but they really do need a cheering section - there were 8 people cheering - 4 of us, a wife and 3 kids running around hiding behind the vending machines.
in any case, hopefully this new "busy" kick will stick for a bit. i have a lot i'd like to get done...

how come I wasnt mentioned in this day??
ReplyDeleteYa......why wasn't JaBootay mentioned? JaBootay calls our home at around 12....d is not home, so he speaks to Tom who invites JaBootay to come live in North Dakota. JaBootay declines, insisting it is too cold. Where did he get that idea? Anyway, I am getting my hair highlighted around 1PM when Tom calls to tell me to tell danielle that she received above mentioned phone call. "Old news" I tell Tom. JaBootay had called d while we were in Hornbachers.
ReplyDeleteOh and yes it was a productive day...............
And Tom then thinks big deal if Tom was a little behind.
ReplyDeleteMy family is weird. And danielle, I do play amateur ball. You could call it that, or even City League. And you saw me at my best. I think it made me sicker today....
ReplyDeletei agree with jon... we are a little odd and danielle its not considered productive beating mom at cards since she's not very good anyway
ReplyDeleteburn......Renae r u gonna let him say that about your card playin skillz??? (do you use one or two l's when replacing the 's' with 'z'?)
ReplyDeletesubject: "some kind of wonderful" is the song name for at least two songs. its on my playlist from the dirty dancing soundtrack (by the drifters) and by joss stone on the soul sessions.
ReplyDeleteActually, you named two different songs, the Drifters version is an original that they did the Joss Stone version is a cover of a song from a 1 hit 60's band (same name different songs)- also said song was the inspiration for the greatest Eric Stoltz movie ever.
ReplyDeleteyes, thank you, i meant that it was two different songs - thanks for the clarification...
