To PLURK or not to PLURK……

Is there a choice?  I have been accused of being addicted to Plurk… Um, Hum, You know who you are! heh!…….. Now I will admit I spend a good deal of time there. It’s a lot like instant messaging. Which I have never done, I mean no one I know does it, well my niece does, but why would she want an old fart sending her a instant message? What do I have to say to her that would be so urgent? OK, I could do it but why? Oh, and my oldest son does it some…. why do it with him? That’s what email at work is for. So instant messaging is something that has escaped me until now! It’s really not instant messaging, but it is damn close! I comment and they reply back…See really close. Or I comment and they ignore the hell out of me…..Hey almost like home!

Granted this isn’t a private thing and the world can see what you have to say, but do I care? Of course not, I am not giving away government secrets or anything. Really! Don’t send in the Feds or nothing!  And really, I am not entertaining enough to be much more than an irritant to some folks. But I do have 59 friends and 3 fans…..Really fans! BAWHAHAHAHA!!! I sent them friend request but I guess they prefer fan status, because they just ignored me! I need more friends! Did that sound needy? I don’t care! Please be my friend!

Now, I Twitter too….not as much. But I am following 96 people over there and 120 follow me….Wait where did all these people come from? I didn’t know I didn’t follow everyone who is following me. *Note to self…. find out who these people are.* But with Twitter, it is hard to follow all the comments. I have gone back pages looking for the original message. But I still can’t seem to give it up. I have friends there that refuse to jump ship to Plurk. SO Twitter, I must. It is pulled up right now, waiting for me to refresh it again and catch up on all the dirt worth sharing! And new post worth reading and giveaways and finding out who is going to BlogHer and who has a gripey baby…..

Plurk is also up but it auto updates and tells me how many new plurks there are, on it’s little tab! So no running back and forth. It is getting me in trouble though…. I plurk in the morning while writing my post and after hubby goes to bed, I plurk until bedtime. which is getting later because of Plurk!!! Oh and there are the times I pop in during the day. If Little Miss is off the computer for a couple of seconds I jump right on it and go find out what I missed. And if I am home alone, I just keep it pulled up and check on it every so often!

If that is addiction, bring it on! I mean where else could I chat with someone in Canada or up north or even further down south from me, whenever I want to?  I get to spend time with some of my favorite bloggers and actually talk! How COOL is that? I know, I know….DORK mom! I have “met” some really nice people there and found a few blogs I have never looked at before. I know, I know I don’t need anymore blogs to read!

I am basically a shyish type person in real life. Alright get the shocked look off your face! I really am, it takes me a while to settle in and get comfortable around new people. But not there, it’s not like they can find me! MAWHAHAHAHAH, I live in OHMYGAWD, AL. MAWHAHAHAHA!!! And I am not sitting face to face with them, so it is just more comfortable for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I can get fired up with an incompetent fast food worker and show my ass in a full restaurant…..Hey I ordered that taco WITHOUT sour cream! When I politely told them they had my order wrong and they said I couldn’t get another taco minus sour cream because I had taken a bite off of it…they were just begging me to fling that taco across the counter at them!!! And when the manager brought me my taco without sour cream, well, I just couldn’t eat it, I KNOW they spit in it!

And if I am drinking, all bets are off! I am very friendly then. Ask anyone who has seen me at the Wagon Train. Of course I know a lot of those people. I don’t think I can drink heavily and Plurk though. No spell check!!!

Little Miss will even get in on it. I left it up and went to get dressed, came back and “I” had left a new plurk.  She has done it a couple of times.

I know some of you have fussed to me about Plurk …UH HUM, you know who you are……Even hubby fusses about it. He thinks I will meet some sort of weirdo on there. I told him I was the weirdo he was so worried about! MAWHAHAHAHAHA!!! Enough of Plurk….Really if you aren’t there, give this time sucker a chance! Look me up and be my friend! *That’s not begging, is it?*  Or let me know an email and I will send you an invite, if I invite enough friends I get some cool different smileys!!!

I have errands to run today. The Boy, lazy bum that he is, laid out of work today. He seems to think he needs insurance on his truck and a tag! What has gotten into these kids nowadays?! I just can’t figure them out! He has a bow fishing tournament this weekend. I guess he will be out all night Saturday night. Why can’t he get him one of those hobbies that you do during the day? Even when he was fishing all the time, he went at night. And I know he was fishing, he smelled like fish all the time.

Well, I must confess…… I didn’t get my room cleaned yesterday! Before anyone thinks Plurk was the cause of it, I am just really lazy and kept finding excuses to not get started! First Little Miss was in there asleep, then I needed just one more cup of coffee, then Little Miss wanted to go swimming with the hellions and mammaw couldn’t *wouldn’t*  watch them, then it was just too late to get started! Actually, I don’t want to clean out my closet, so I find any reason not to get started.

Have you ever saw those shows……”Clean House” or what is that other one, it doesn’t matter….. where these strange people come into your house and force you to sell your junk treasures. I have two huge storage boxes in my closet full of junk treasures. Old baby blankets, grandma’s favorite outfit (complete with the tiny holes her cigarettes burned in it), granddaddy’s button up sweater he wore all the time, some of my other grandma’s craft stuff, junk gifts I got from people I went to school with that are no longer alive, hand made gifts from my children…..you get the picture, treasures. And I can’t seem to part with any of it.

I have a cabinet full of VCR tapes, do I have a VCR anymore? Not one that is hooked up, but still I like these movies. I have a drawer full of cassettes, mostly Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and OLD 80s music, do I have a cassette player? Not one that works. I have two file cabinets full of shitreceipts I couldn’t find if my life depended on it! Should I organize it? Of course! Should I get rid of receipts from 10 years ago? Why yes! Am I going to do it? One of these days. Over half of my clothes either don’t fit or I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it. Should I get rid of them? Sure. Will I? Doubt it…. I mean I am down 9 pounds, only 11 more to go and I can wear some of those clothes I hang on to! And the ugly clothes, well they were gifts. Can’t get rid of gifts! Have I mentioned this is a walk in closet? Have I mentioned you can barely walk in it?

Did I mention, I never dust my room? Well, I dust at it. No one goes in there! I feel like if I am the only one who sees the dust, it doesn’t exist! It’s mind over matter folks!!! OK, hubby sees it, but he is kind enough to ignore it! Little Miss, well, if her allergies act up in there, she shouldn’t crawl her ass into my bed! Harsh?  Yes, but I really don’t want to clean in there. I KNOW what I will find in there! And never you mind what it is!!!! It’s enough that I know.

AFF wrote a post about a few of her quirks. I have a lot of quirks My husband say I am OCD, I say just a bit quirky….. I thought I woulds list a few of them and let you all, all 10 of you, learn a bit about me……

I can’t stand for a dresser drawer to be partially open…..I must close it. My husband figured this out about 10 years ago and has been leaving his dresser drawers open about an inch every since. It is his small way of driving me crazy. I only found out about this a few months ago.

I must check the door locks, front and back, no less than 5 times before bed, or before I get in the shower. I don’t need anyone just walking in the house! And I have a big fear, that I will forget to lock it and I never remember for sure if I checked it.

I must check my email several times a day. This is new, it started when I started getting steady comments at my blog! that and me and Easy E “instant message” via email.

I love checking my stats! I wonder how they found me, who they are, what search I turned up in.

I Plurk too much *there must be a 12 step program for it!*

I have to put the newspaper back, as if it has never been read. All sections in order and neatly folded!

If I eat something I like, I will eat it for days! Chicken casserole….*drool*…… Grandma’s chicken casserole…….lasagna……… *slurp* 

I constantly worry about The Boy. Not so much the other ones, I worry about them too, but The Boy, CONSTANTLY!!!! He is the one who doesn’t think before he acts.

I am getting fussed at! The Boy has decided we must go NOW! He is threatening to wake up Little Miss!! He says when he gets out of the shower, we are outta here. He has a lot to do…..Go get insurance, take me to pick up the MRI of my brain *yes, I apparently have a brain, who knew!*, go somewhere to get line for his bow, so he can shoot fish further away than 10 feet. The list goes on and on…. I convinced him that we would get his tag next week, saved me one errand. But I guess I should get up and get dressed and go, DAMN kids!!!! Until next time….

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!!!
