It’s Not a Strategy, It’s Just an Unusual Way of Doing Things

Am I Normal? Define normal!I know I’m not the only one who does this kinda crap! The question is, how many others are willing to admit it?! LOL

I have a cleaning “strategy”. Ok, so it’s less of a strategy and more of a “this is how we do it” sort of outcome. There’s no planning involved… It. Just. Happen.

Here’s where it all started…

I went to the bathroom.
Saw that the garbage can was full. Pulled out the bag. No new bags underneath. I knew the one in my room was full too, so I went and got it. There were bags there. Went to the kitchen for more bags for the bathroom. Brought them back to my room and set up the trash.

Went to sit down.
Realized my water cup was out of ice. THAT. CAN’T. HAPPEN.
Went to get ice and as I passed the vaporizer, I remembered that I still need to run some vinegar water thru it (and my son’s) before I box them up. Set my cup down in the kitchen, got the vinegar. Set both vaporizers on the patio, added vinegar (note to self: add vinegar to shopping list) and plugged them in. Back to the kitchen for ice. Put ice in the cup.

Headed back to my room.
Realized that the water cooler jug was empty. Took off the empty and replaced it. When I picked up the full one I saw the cat was out of food. Filled up the cat bowl. Glanced outside and saw only one vaporizer was steaming so I went back to the kitchen for a bit of salt.

Back to the kitchen to wash my hands.
Decided brownies sounded good. So I grabbed a box of brownies, mixed them up (note to self: add cooking oil to shopping list). Put them in the oven. Got my ice water and went back to my room.

Sat down and realized my glasses were in the bathroom…. and that THAT’S where I’d started!!!

Now, as I said at the start… I KNOW I’m not the only person who does this sort of thing!!

So go ahead. Feel free to let it all out in the comments. Tell me how many circles and rooms do you do before you get back to where you started! Have you ever NOT made it back? I’d love to hear about it!!




Take care,
Debi aka @GenXBrat

    My Henna Hair Dye Experiment – 24 Hours Later

    Obviously we’re on a “let’s discuss my hair” week. It’s not something I planned, but this whole henna dye thing was something that I found scary as well as fascinating. So I figured I’d let you know (and document for my future attempts) what’s going on with it.

    So why am I still talking about it 24 hours later? Because I’d read that, unlike chemical hair dyes, henna hair dyes take time to process… yep, it’s a bit strange to me too! But it’s true!

  • Baby Boomers Defined

    Baby Boomers were born between 1946-1964, right? Well, sorta…

    Everyone seems to agree on what year Baby Boomers got started. Birth data, not to mention the end of a war, makes it easy. However, it’s tough to find a consensus on the exact year of when to declare that the Baby Boomers stop & Generation X begins.

    It makes sense though. It’s a lot like saying that the day before your 18th birthday you’re NOT an adult, but suddenly at midnite…ta-da!… you’re all grown up. Yeah right. …

    Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep… Really!?!

    Good gosh! All those thoughts that start when you lay down to sleep for the night! You know the ones I’m talking about… the useless, good for nothing BUT keeping you awake thoughts that you just can’t get rid of… Like they couldn’t have come to mind while you were wandering through your day and awake anyway!?! Of course not!!

    To add insult to injury (and lack of beauty sleep), most of the time, they’re not even productive thoughts! Take for instance when I couldn’t get to sleep earlier this week. Was I thinking about world peace or how to change my life into the type of life I’ve dreamed of… of course not.

    Loving all My Personalities…Group Hug!!

    My son thinks I have several people living inside me… and not all of them are sane. He’s probably right…but as I’ve explained to him, as long as they all keep communicating with each other we’ll be fine… =)

    I’ve always had people telling me I’m crazy. Not in a “call the men in the white coats” kinda way. It’s more of the “I can’t believe she just did/said that!” kinda way.

    I think I’m just not willing to give up my inner child. And as an adult, you can’t make me! 🙂 …

  • I’m Listening to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40!

    Believe it I just finished listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 from the week ending September 10, 1983!

    So cool! I remember what a big part of our life Casey Kasem was every week when I was a teenager. He had such a unique voice. Even if you didn’t know what radio station he was going to be on, all you had to do was flip through the stations until you heard that voice coming across the airwaves and you knew you were there.

    40 of our favorite songs that we have listened to all week long… Patiently waiting to see which one was going to be number one! And always such a letdown when it was over because you felt like it was time for a friend to leave. …
