He’s a bit odd

There was a conversation at breakfast that went something like this:

Me: I have so much to do, and papers everywhere, and freakin sticky notes. I keep forgetting things and losing things, do you know I lost that bloody green zip twice yesterday, I have to finish of that creative card, and then I better start that embroidery. I wonder if it will be too hot to wear boots tomorrow? cause I want to bind that skirt so I can wear it to Ballan. I guess I could wear it with leggings if its too hot for boots, but then I have to fudge around with my leggings and knickers all day…hmmm (pause to think about knicker fudging for a moment)

Mr Ric rac: It will be warmish tomorrow.

Me: Too warm for boots? What do you want for dinner? Are we going to dog park tonight ? I’d like to do that vege thingo with the besan flour but it might be tricky – Oh I was going to make lemon butter today too. I must pack all that class stuff tonight, I wonder when my felt order will come? ooh I got my badge stuff yesterday I thought I might make some badges for the kids for the class tomorrow or take the badge machine with me so they can do it themselves.. what do you think ?

Mr Ric rac: That’s a good idea.

Me : Man I have a lot to do, I think my brain might explode…maybe I just need to finish off a few things, there’s just so much stuff everywhere. I’ll might have to write a new list.

Mr Ric-Rac: Maybe you shouldn’t do so many things at once.

  2. hahaha - can so relate. I'm not sure the plastic containers are going to fix everything, but I recently purchased myself some document wallets. I scribble on the outside with texta what is in there and now at least some of the paper is under control. I'm thinking I should have got ones with stretchy sides though.

  4. Yeah, those containers are addictive. We all think if we buy enough containers our sewing rooms will be tidy and we will be able to find things and finish them.

    Too bad it ain't true. (big sigh) ;p

  7. It's just like that episode of Love My Way when Charlie and Julia are walking around Ikea. If you just have more storage, it totally fixes EVERYTHING in life!

  12. More storage is always the answer.

  13. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! That could so be a conversation between my hubby and me!

    Every now and then he looks at me and asks "How did you get from 'that' to 'that' in one thought?" LOLOLOLOL!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh, yes - I'm with you. More storage solves most things!

  15. Good luck - have a great day

  16. Hehe. A man of so few words...most men are like that I suppose. They are only able to process one item at a time, I believe. One can never have too much storage! Good luck with the boots!

  17. That sounds like the endless reel in my head....every now and again some of it escapes....and every one around me looks puzzled!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yep. Yep. Yep.

    ..and ditto.

  20. What? Mr. Ric rac answers you? You have a gem there. I just get a non commital grunt from the other side of the room and occaisonally when it leads to thin ice 'I have no opinion in this matter'! GAH!!

  21. Oh Jodie don't explode please!!! Take time to breath every now and then! Lucy xx

  22. You are living inside my head! :-)

  23. At least he responded with an appropriate remark and not just a "What did you say, dear?"

    Men are sooo not multitaskers...

  24. Totally understand new storage, can work wonders. Glad to hear that those conversations aren't limited to me and my mr :-)

  25. well! this has had me chuckling to myself, I feel you have been peeking into my head, my hubby reacts in the same way as well, it's nice to know we are not on our own!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Well at least it appears he's actually listening to you, and not just saying "yes dear, no dear". He obviously knows better than that!

    Oh and yes, boxes definitely help.

  27. I keep redoing my lists in hopes there will be less on the new list. HA! I'm living in a dream world! :-)

  28. I love butterfly minds - makes me think I'm not so abnormal!

  29. had to laugh - but you still find time for blogging. My blog is a very sad and rejected thing at the moment.

  30. I see you married a very complimentary personality too. I'm positive i say 100 words to my husband's ONE!! He ends most sentances with "maybe you shouldn't do so much" & i am so tame to never ever say "maybe you should come home, live in the same state/ country as us". Deep breaths. Enjoy your holidays, we still have a week AFTER Easter, so dumb, can't tell you, love Posie
