We have a senile dog. Almost took him out myself the other morning. Seriously--he whined and moaned and went in and out just so that someone would get up and hang out. At 3:00 A.M.Well, more aptly, from 3 to 4 something, which is when I gave up and made coffee.
Then I ended up in Wal Mart. Twice. Before going to three different shoe stores only to be informed that there isn't a women's size 8 to be had within the lines of two counties. Seriously.
I think it's rather apparent that someone hasn't been taking her medicine...
Anyways, where was I? Oh, complaining, of course.
Did I mention that I tried to quit chess? I so hate losing. Don't really mind losing to the kiddo anymore because most people do lol. But everyone else...Of course, I'm stupid and decided to live in a power exchange relationship. Do I get to quit chess because I want to? Nope. I got assigned drills. Every damn day. Who does that??
I have fallen out of my exercise routine, and it's surprisingly difficult to get back into. Chess drills are exercise, right?
For a while, I was really going good with the inspiration and meeting his requirements...And now? Pft. I gots nothing. Except that I do wonder what kind of maniacal mind makes a woman who hates losing, do daily drills for a game that she's no good at...
Chess drills definitely count as exercise. After all you're excersing your brain and I assume move of your fingers are involved.
ReplyDeleteHope things get better for you very soon.
sunnygirl,
Deleteoh yes, fingers...And might I add, an extensive internal vocabulary of inappropriate words, lol.
Thank you.
Shall I send a stroopwafel?
ReplyDeleteI can spare you exactly ONE.
(I'm also a greedy bitch.)
;-)
if she doesn't want it, i do! omg, i haven't had one since i was a kid.
DeleteJz,
DeleteOoh, I'm actually quite impressed that there's one left to share--I doubt that would be the case if I had the stroopwaffels. Lol.
I do appreciate the generosity, and understand the enormity of your offer!
oh, i hate futile shopping...or going to Wal Mart twice in the same day. Chess is an excerise..or maybe a chore, lol. i can't play it all, just trying to remember what all the pieces do makes my brain hurt.
ReplyDeletescarlet,
DeleteWal Mart is a terrible place to be...
I know what the pieces do...I'm just not nearly as proficient with them as I would like to be!
Hi Lil, I too hate futile shopping. I can never find shoes, my feet are tiny and shoes are so hard to come by. I agree, Chess is exercise ... at least your brain and fingers right?. I've never got the hang of it myself.
ReplyDeleteHope things look brighter for you soon.
Hugs,
Roz
Roz,
DeleteMy feet are larger than the average woman around here. Now if only we could trade shoe stores...
Thank you!
I just spent hours I'll never get back at the stores looking for work pants. Is lined trouser pants too much to ask for? Apparently so.
ReplyDeleteHope your days get better. Yes, chess is exercise. :) .... hugs
His Slut,
Deleteyou can bet that if you need it, it's too much to ask for! That's how it seems to work around here anyways. Lol.
Thank you.
Our dog is senile, too. It's a real test of my patience some days.
ReplyDelete*hug* ( Futile shopping is the exact opposite of therapeutic shopping... )
Mickey,
Deleteit's terrible sometimes, isn't it? Because you're glad they're still breathing, but...Rggh!
Lol yes, so far from therapeutic shopping.
For what it's worth there are no cute size 8 shoes here either. Ever. At least none I can afford! Or pants in my size.
ReplyDeletechickadee,
DeleteWhat is with that?! It's soo frustrating.
I have tried chess and hoping it was like playing checkers, the board threw me off completely!
ReplyDeleteAnd for what is worth, I am a size 7 and they never have my size :-( I know the feeling.
Aluv
AtiyaLuv,
DeleteOh no, nothing like checkers!
Size seven...I'm jealous--that's all they sell around here!
Chess is a game of strategy based on the Arts of Warfare. Blow the damn board up and you win. Game over :)
ReplyDeletethat was my little brother's strategy when my dad tried to teach us as kids. Get frustrated and scatter the pieces...scream "i win!" and run away.
DeleteLm,
Deleteomg, lmao! You rock--that's totally awesome.
@scarlet I know how he felt...Lol.
You can guarantee one person you will always beat at chess - me. I'm just plain hopeless. I will go with LM and blow up the board.
ReplyDeleteDelFonte,
DeleteLol well, I will have that. Thank you.
Some days chess is awesome, and some days it sucks ass. Poor loser here...
Master hasn't asked me to play chess in years, it takes him all of 5 min to beat me. He beats me at everything, it is so unfair. Well, I guess I am pretty good a Rummy... when I win it is like the heavens shine down on me.
ReplyDeleteMisty,
DeleteI never realized how bad I was at it until now. Lol. The kiddo seems to be beating us all. On the bright side, his tutoring is obviously Not going to waste.
Ooh yes, I know that feeling of the heavens shining down! Even if it comes once in a millennium around here...
