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,

  • Rudeness Abounds!

    That’s right. I said “Abounds”. And if you don’t know what that means then Google it!

    Sorry. Was that rude? Yes, it was. And I was being intentionally rude to make a point… it’s NOTICEABLE!

    I don’t know whether it’s the baby boomer side of me or the midwestern in me, but people are just ticking me off more and more by their rudeness! …

  • Christmas 2011

    This year was much better than last. We got the Christmas lights put up on the patio…gorgeous if I do say so myself!

    My son was healthy for the most part (coughing up a storm but we believe he’ll live… he’s gonna let me know if he feels that’s changing!).

    Z got to relax and seemed very content with the fact that I made chicken and real mashed potatoes on top of putting together a huge pot of Posole.

    And even though the day was quiet and none of us had bought any Christmas presents, it was a great day. …

  • My Happy Valentine’s Day Gift to Me…

    Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day, my sweetheart’s not here (nor has he stopped by or sent a text) and I don’t expect him to be because we’re going through a weird time right now that has us apart.

    I got up this morning (ok, so MY morning starts around 2pm so it would technically be afternoon), took a shower, prettied myself up with the usual cocoa butter body oil, my favorite face lotions and makeup (hell, I even took a curling iron to my hair!), just so I could spend the day working on taxes and business stuff!

    But this day had a very surprise ending …

  • 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. …

  1. Okay, you have discovered my secret… or were you following me around???
    Love your blog Debi! I enjoy your escapades.

    1. I know there are people like that who exist… but they seem to be from an alternate universe. Or maybe it’s just us… but I’ll go with THEY’RE the abnormal ones!! LOL
