Lack of Accomplishment Theory

I believe....the computer is the villain, at least mine, in getting more accomplished. Really. Have any of you sat down at the computer thinking you were going to perform some small task and nearly an hour later you are still trying to figure out why you can't get it done because you have to do this or that? Perhaps you are all more savvy than I am. Like this blog. I thought I would register to get my blogs on my Iphone and be able to post on it if I wanted. After doing this and that here I had spent 15-20 minutes messing with that and trying to figure out a password I would be able to remember. I had used up all the ones I might remember. Oh yes, I do write them down in a notebook by the computer that anyone could look up, but think about it who, I ask you, who would even want to read something a 68 year old woman would be writing. It certainly wouldn't be anything someone would want to know. If the person was under 20 they would be grossed out thinking there could be anything kinky or interesting in a blog to her sisters. Here I go again rambling.



I am so glad we have this blog going again for a bit. And like you said Diane...no guilt when we don't post. Just post when the urge becomes so overwhelming we drop everything and run to the computer to share profound or non-profound thoughts. If you have read thus far you know my thoughts will be in the latter.



I had thought of whining a bit about how cold it is here, but after checking out your 4 degrees this morning in my mind I could hear your chorus of "you don't know what cold is!" when I said it was only 29 degrees here this morning. Am I right? I guess everything is relative - ha ha - get it??



Lordy be, I am a strange senior citizen dangerously writing nonsensical thoughts that could be used against me in the commitment process. There are people in the nursing home I visit younger than me and honestly they seem perfectly normal. And I never see their husbands after they have put them there. What do you think?



Ok, ok...I will try to at least make a few comments on your musings without getting too crazy and silly. I sure wish we could get together for a real silly sister session. Next time we do get together I am going to bring my little recorder so I will be able to record it and then when I need a good laugh I will listen to it. Do you think the 3 of us plus Diane could have a reunion in that cute little place we went to? That was adorable. I think Diane and Bob have already been there because I remember seeing their picture.

So...thanks for posting the pictures of the quilt. I loved seeing Bob pinning the quilt. Diane, you definitely have a sweetie. And to get up at 3:30 and make you breakfast just makes me cry it is so sweet. It is nearly 8:30 and my sweet Earl is still having sweet dreams.

I certainly don't want to be on steroids, but I would like to have some of the energy it creates. I have been extremely lazy and unproductive lately. Today I have promised myself I will stay home the whole day and work from the long list of things I have made that need to be done. Maybe I will post tonight or tomorrow and bore you stiff telling you of my great accomplishments. Like that will happen.

It was good to have our short say nothing chat last night Lizzie. Neither of us seemed to be very jazzed up about anything. I was in a stupor from my lack of doing nothing all day except laze around watching TV with Earl. Things like Man V Food and political stuff till I thought I would scream. I did rest my eyes from time to time so I couldn't tell you exactly what it was we were watching.

Liz, I imagine you are about tired of all the Virginia stuff. When we receive our millions let's take a trip somewhere for some adventure. Maybe by that time you will have your boat at Beaufort Susie and we can go up and down the coast visiting all the quaint coastal towns.

I am rooting for Beaufort, Susie, but I think you should consider Slocum Creek in Havelock. Then you would be really close. Think about it. Actually, I think a boat as a second home sounds great. I know a young couple that used to live here and bought a large sailboat and are living in Maryland at a marina. They love it.

Well, honestly I didn't mean to go on and on forever, but you know me...once I get started I just don't know when to stop. It shows up in all areas of my life, except the really important ones. I was going to tell you some about my adventures at the Tryon Palace, but I hear Earl stirring and he will want to take control of the computer once he is up. I might even make him a wonderful breakfast - or this late would you call it brunch.

I love you all...thanks for hanging in there and reading all these words.
