Thirteen Things I Did In Sequence…do I have ADD?
1. Opened e-mail from Karen (Verbatim) which told me about her review of Matrimony which I am going to read and review. An editor sent her two copies, one of which she sent to me, so I wanted to read her review…knowing that Karen would NEVER post any spoilers.
2. Went to my iGoogle blog list to open Karen’s blog to read review.
3. Husband came in complaining about long waits on the golf course during today’s tournament and wondering why our golf cart was not equipped with an AC adapter into which he could plug his laptop and therefore watch football games during waiting times. Husband left for golf. I surfed to www.BuggiesUnlimited.com to see if there was such a thing.
4. Phone rang approximately three minutes after husband left. Asked son to answer it since it was certainly Daddy calling because he can’t be gone for 5 minutes without calling for something. He asked me (although I don’t remember the word “please” coming up) to drive over and bring him a fleece jacket as it was colder than he thought. Apparently this did not occur to him as he drove over to the golf course in our windshield-less (since the 100 degree heat of August) golf cart.
5. Found fleece, drove over to the course barefoot and in my pajamas (wearing MY fleece jacket as I knew just from picking up the paper this morning that it was cold out) and brought husband his jacket.
6. Decided that the constant interruptions and digressions in my life are why I can’t seem to get anything done and that this would be a good topic and this morning a good example for a Thursday Thirteen. Started writing this.
7. Went to www.BuggiesUnlimited.com and found that there really an AC adapter for the golf cart for the wee price of $99.99. E-mailed my husband, who will certainly be reading his Blackberry e-mail during golf wait times. Am now waiting for him to call and ask me why the hell I can’t get one NOW!!!
8. Remembered that I really panned a book that an editor sent to me and wanted to reassure Karen that not loving a book provided free by an editor is not only OK, but incumbent on us as objective book bloggers. Looked it up on my blog and put the link (http://dibookblogetc.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/01/death_on_the_fl.html) in an e-mail I started. Still haven’t read her review.
9. Go back to Karen’s blog and notice that she has changed her picture AGAIN!!! I haven’t changed my picture since I started my blog over a year ago. I also haven’t looked that good since over a year ago. I’m thinking about finding a more realistic, slightly less attractive (if possible) picture of myself to post.
10. Read Karen’s blog in reverse order, so it took me quite some time to get to the book review blog. Posted comments as inspired. Whined about why she doesn’t have me listed under her “Daily Fixes”.
11. Reassured myself that Karen is everything I think she is when she does not in any way spoil the plot of the book.
12. Got an e-mail from my husband indicating that in the first three holes he was 2 over, indicating that the sexual favor I offered might actually need to be delivered upon.
13. Read e-mail from Karen who was worried about her less than stellar review because she had corresponded with the publisher and the writer. Wondered if I cared more about Karen's conundrum or the potential sexual favor I had promised to my husband.
Di
P.S. Husband did not break 90 in his golf outing and was therefore unable to capitalize on the sexual favor he was offered for improving on his dismal scores the previous two days.
