Bored, bored, bored...

[reyd reid reed]

Help me get motivated.

[billyskank]

1. Uh oh

rx3 is bored. :scared:

:rofl:

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

4. Muahahahahahahaha...

Things have been known to happen when I'm bored...

Don't know why...

:shrug:
















:evilgrin:

[bridgit]

2. me too...

[reyd reid reed]

6. So what shall we do to entertain ourselves, then?

Bake cookies? Knit blankets?


Wreak havoc?


:evilgrin:

[bridgit]

25. hm, what's the oven setting for wreaking havoc?

:dilemma:

[reyd reid reed]

28. Depends on

whether you want low and slow or fast and hot.

Each has advantages...

:evilgrin:

[bridgit]

33. i'm liking this havoc thing already...

:bounce:

[reyd reid reed]

40. Oh, havoc-wreaking

as a past-time is way underrated. Who says it's only the kids who should have all the fun? I mean, there is the voice of experience to consider...

:evilgrin:

[bridgit]

43. woohoo, let the havoc wreaking begin my queen...

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

54. Well...

we could storm this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5964136#5964157

[bridgit]

66. oh my, can i unwrap #2 with my teeth?

}(

[reyd reid reed]

71. You can

I'm trying to decide between #1 and #3.

Oh, what the hell...I'd do take 'em both.

:blush:

[bridgit]

72. heh-heh, i like the way you think...

:hug:

[miss_american_pie]

3. Wanna come here

And help wrap presents and bake cookies?

Or we could go out and buy more boots. ;) :hi:

[billyskank]

8. Hey

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

16. Hello

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

9. I've got a closet full of presents...

can't do any wrapping yet, though. I've already baked:

1,100 cookies (give or take...people keep eating 'em, sheesh).
3 kinds of fudge
chocolate covered cherries
peanut brittle
coconut patties
peppermint patties

I should be making sugar cookies and peanut butter cups...but I don't wanna, so....

I vote for buying boots!!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[miss_american_pie]

19. Yay boots!

I have blintzes to make this afternoon, and then I don't want to see a cookie again for a month.

:bounce:

[reyd reid reed]

24. I know the feeling...

Next Tuesday, I do NOTHING. Told them at work that I wouldn't come in...because on the 26th, I do NOTHING that I don't want to do. I let the kids eat whatever they want, whenever they want...if they want to gorge on cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner -- go for it. I've still got silly string on the ceiling from 3 years ago on the 26th.

Until then...I've still got about three week's worth of baking to do.

And less than a week to do it in.

Then I won't bake another cookie until -- June? Maybe?

[tigereye]

56. ah, another boot maven!

can I come and buy boots too?

(not like I don't already have a bootload in my closet!)

[reyd reid reed]

58. Can't have too many boots...

I mean, they come in so handy for, well...

for lots of things.

:evilgrin:

[tigereye]

64. I keep looking for those thigh high ones

but I'm a flats-type woman, so those kind are harder to find. Husband keeps threatening to buy me some....


I can't help it, I love boots. :hide:

[reyd reid reed]

69. I'd love to find a pair...

don't know what I'd do with 'em, but it'd be nice just to know that they're THERE, y'know?

Although I've got some ideas....

:evilgrin:

[tigereye]

73. I've seen some on E-bay - the medieval/Renaissance ones

[reyd reid reed]

76. I haven't looked there...

but I don't do much e-baying.

[miss_american_pie]

68. Oh yes!

Let's convince her to come out here for a boot-buying vacation. :hi:

[lizziegrace]

79. I'm 3 hours away

and have a daughter who LOVES boots. I say we make it a party. :)

[miss_american_pie]

81. Ooooh

A DU boot girl meet-up!

:bounce:

[FedUpWithIt All]

100. Shoe shopping is my own personal hell, but i'll meet y'all for coffee after

:hi:

[tigereye]

99. I'm not a shoe addict, but I've rarely met a pair of big black

boots I didn't like. :beer:

My son is out of school and I just had to drag him all around the Waterfront Mall. He was helpful, but lookin' a mite bleary! :hi: Now I know why people buy mini-vans, since I had to push quite a bit to fit everything in my Saturn!

[gr8dane_daddy]

5. You want some time wasters or real motivational stuff?

We must satisfy the RX3 need for attention, folks!

[reyd reid reed]

11. Either...

I need to go to the bank before the snow starts to fly. If I go, then it won't snow. If I don't, we'll have a foot on the ground by dinner.

I don't wanna go out there, though. Baby, it's cold outside.

:scared:

Some time-wasters would be fun, too. I'm gonna have a houseful of bored kids this time next week...

[taterguy]

Go plunder and pillage

That's my cure for boredom

[reyd reid reed]

13. Heeeee....love the flag

The fist-pump is a nice touch.

:hi:

[taterguy]

You should see the broad sword

Sorry, couldn't resist

[reyd reid reed]

26. Uh huh...

just how broad is it? And is it double-edged?















Bought a replica Master Sword for #3 son...it arrived about a month ago and I just took it out of the box on Saturday night...sucker's got a real edge. Two of 'em. GAK!!!!

[taterguy]

75. I'll just post a pic of it

Here ya go

[reyd reid reed]

77. Got a nice curve to it...

I would imagine that'd make it more effective.

[lizziegrace]

7. Wish we could be bored together.

Think of the trouble we could cause. :)

[reyd reid reed]

14. w00t!!!

We could set the world on its ever-lovin' ear!

:evilgrin:

[lizziegrace]

18. Or at the very least

get out of our respective ruts. :(

[reyd reid reed]

21. I'd be happy

to just get out of the kitchen for a while. But when I'm out of the kitchen, I worry that I'm getting behind.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Why do I do this to myself?

x(

[lizziegrace]

29. I have no idea

just thinking about what you get done between Thanksgiving and Christmas makes me exhausted. :(

:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

31. Meh...

it's just one of those holes that I tend to dig for myself on occasion. Like the lovely idea of baking everyone's favorite pie for Thanksgiving. Which was fine when it was just me and Darrel. Then Bonehead came along and it still wasn't bad...by now, though...

:scared:

[lizziegrace]

34. What'd you get girly-poo for Christmas?

:)

[reyd reid reed]

35. She's getting

a cell phone. God help us all.

x(

[lizziegrace]

38. Get her one of the Disney phones

so you can track her...

;)

[reyd reid reed]

41. With the little GPS thingie in it?

Trust me...it's occurred to me.

[lizziegrace]

45. It's got all kinds of features you control

like when she can use it, how long, etc. It also tracks where she is. Sounds like a nanny with a antenna.

:)

[reyd reid reed]

47. Muahahahahahahaha....

then she'd never be able to escape my clutches...she'd wind up loathing the phone.

I love it!!!

[lizziegrace]

74. Glad I could bring joy

to your holiday. ;)

[reyd reid reed]

78. Not to mention

my darling daughter's...

;)

[lizziegrace]

80. That's the icing on the cake

Oh, and give her a great big :hug:

;)

[reyd reid reed]

82. Will do....

*wanders off*

Oh, girlyyyy-poooooooooooo!!!








and guess who just wandered in...it's true. It's all in the timing...

[lizziegrace]

83. So how did she take it?

:evilgrin:

[reyd reid reed]

84. Like a trooper...

minimal eye-roll and everything. Think she's building an immunity?

:shrug:

[lizziegrace]

85. I think

she likes the attention. ;)

[reyd reid reed]

86. Methinks you're right...

s'okay, though. I've got lots of :hug::hug:

Whether she likes it or not.

;)

[Road Scholar]

10. Hi. I hope this helps.

A christmas cactus just for you. I saw your Thanksgiving menu and It had to be a great one I bet your Christmas one is even better.You must be one of those "Super-Moms"

[reyd reid reed]

17. Oh, that's *gorgeous*

:hug::hug::hug:

And..."Super-Mom"?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hardly. If I was a "Super-Mom," I'd do it perfectly coiffed and in pearls and pumps and a ruffled apron, a la Donna Reed, instead of jeans, a sweatshirt and a ponytail.

And I've got an apron but even when I use it, the seat of my jeans tends to be awfully sugary by the time I'm finished...

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Umm, given your user name, shouldn't that

Bored, board, boored?

[reyd reid reed]

20. LOL!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

:hug::hug:

:loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

15. Me too

What shall we do? :hi: :evilgrin:

[reyd reid reed]

22. Well, we could

look for a willing victim participant and torture amuse him.

:evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

23. Excellent idea

Who shall it be...hmmmmmm....I wonder.....;-)

[reyd reid reed]

27. Well...

we could ask for volunteers....and if that doesn't work, we could always storm a thread and hijack it.

:evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

30. I say we pillage a thread

and just attack unsuspecting victims. :evilgrin: But I'm evil that way.

[reyd reid reed]

32. I know....

Some day after Christmas we oughta have a contest. See how many threads we can *ahem* innuendo-lock in a single day.


:evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

36. hehehehe

That should be fun. :evilgrin:

How many locks do you get before a warning? :shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

39. I have no idea...

We might need to find out. Someone probably knows....

[RetroLounge]

37. Come on over...

I can cure your boredom...

:hi:

RL

[reyd reid reed]

42. Oh, I'll just bet you could...

I'll bet you could cure lots of things....

:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

44. if not cure...

at least alleviate the symptoms...

:evilgrin:

RL

[reyd reid reed]

49. I'm thinking you could

alleviate the hell out of a symptom or two.

Or three.

Or...

:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

52. and a few symptoms you didn't even know needed

attending to...

:9

RL

[reyd reid reed]

55. Just what the doctor ordered, huh?

Every gal needs a little attending to. And something to tend. It's our nurturing nature, y'know...and you'd do nicely.

Very nicely, indeed...

:9

[RetroLounge]

87. I've got the right prescription

for whatever ails you...

:hi:

RL

[reyd reid reed]

93. ...

[SPKrazy]

46. Let's Go Climb Pike's Peak!

be down in a couple of hours to meet ya!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'll be the one carried down on the stretcher and flown out by my sister's air helicopter crew!

[reyd reid reed]

48. Heh...

would you believe that, in all the years I've lived with that rock practically in my backyard -- I've never been to the top of it?

Not once.


Go figger.

[SPKrazy]

50. Can't You Drive Up There Too?

Even I've been up there long long ago.

My sister likes to hike 14K mountains, she's a little touched in the head.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hug:

[reyd reid reed]

51. You can.

I don't. I have this thing about heights...and it's high up there. I've never even done the cog railway thing. All my kids have, I haven't.

[SPKrazy]

53. Oh, It Is High, And No Guardrails Probably

and the mountain goats bahhhhhh bahhhhhh

:pals:

[Taverner]

57. Double shot of espresso and milk

Works for me

[reyd reid reed]

60. I need a double shot of something, all right.

It's starting to snow. My motivation is sinking by. the. minute.

But I've gotta get moving. Debit card has a limit of 1,500.00/day and the 'bone that I won for Bonehead is 1625.00 + shipping. So I'm gonna have to pay it today and tomorrow.

x(

[Guava Jelly]

59. I could tell you how amazingly beautiful you are!!

:hi: that could help :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

62. Oh, it would definitely help...

but then I'll want to stay here all day...which I already do...

Still....

:loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

65. It wouldn't hurt my feelings

Or thousands of other du testosterone crazed guys
:loveya:

[tigereye]

61. you could bake for me!

:rofl: or maybe it's time for meditation? ;)

we trimmed the tree and now the massive cleaning (and some shopping) must begin.

[reyd reid reed]

63. Meditation? More like time for

medication. I tried to take a picture of my kitchen table, but I can't upload it to photobucket. Probably just as well...

[tigereye]

67. it probably looks like my dining room table...

well, but then you are the queen of baking! So your table probably is loaded for bear.

[reyd reid reed]

70. It's scary is what it is...

Heh...and it's still got the orange Halloween tablecloth on it. Not that you can tell -- my kids have been eating in the living room since Thanksgiving.

:eyes:

[Left Is Write]

88. Come and help me fold laundry, pack, and wrap some presents.

[reyd reid reed]

90. Pack?

Where are we going? Someplace nice and tropical with cabana boys?

:bounce::bounce::bounce:

[Left Is Write]

92. Ummmm....

Not quite.

A little further north.

Minnesota for Christmas.

[reyd reid reed]

94. Oh.

Hmmmm...going the arctic route this year, huh?

[leftofthedial]

89. I've found that whenever I get bored, it always perks things up

to get nekkid.

especially if I'm bored at work or at the library or somewhere.

[reyd reid reed]

91. LOL!

I'll bet it perks things Right up. Somehow, I doubt the cats would be terribly impressed, though.

And I can hear the reaction from girly-poo right now:

"Ewwwwwwwwwwww....mother!"

[tinfoil tiaras]

95. I'm bored too

:hi: Whats up?

[reyd reid reed]

96. The price of trombones, for starters...

Damn things are pricey.

:eyes:


But I can't wait to see the look on this kid's face on Christmas. He's earned it and he's willing to have that be the only thing with his name on it under the tree, he wants it that badly.

[tinfoil tiaras]

97. When I first read that, I thought "trombones" was "tombstones"

and i was like WTF? Why would a kid want a tombstone for Christmas? :rofl:

I'm just glad to be out of school...:woohoo:

[reyd reid reed]

101. Heeee....

wanna know something? When I just saw it in "My DU," I thought it said 'tombstones'.

Of course, I'm barely awake over here.

Plus, I'm old...


:hi:

[tinfoil tiaras]

102. Whoa....haha

It's okay. I'm tired. But I'm not that old. Haha. :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

104. At least I can still 'think young'

and...what's more important...I can act young.

Hell, I can act like my fourteen-year-old. Now *that's* funny. Talk about eye-rolling...

[tinfoil tiaras]

105. Wow.

My mom can't act like me...that'd be kinda wierd...

[reyd reid reed]

106. LOLOL!

That's exactly what my daughter says. Then I do and she's....mortified.

My kids don't ask me to drive car pool anymore, though. See? There's a method to my madness...

:P

[tinfoil tiaras]

108. Aww...why?

Everyone who doesnt have a car, down here has their mom or dad (or someone elses) pick them up. That's odd...

[reyd reid reed]

111. Maybe

because I've been known to do silly things en route. Things like, oh, say...pop in a Disney sing-a-long and then sing as loud and off-key as humanly possible without shattering my windshield. And commenting in between the songs: "Remember this one? This one's your favorite!"

"While I'm thinking about it, did you remember to get those underwear out from behind your door?"

"Do you remember those bearskin rug pictures from when you were a baby? I think that I saw one under the seat...would you mind getting it for me?"

:)

[tinfoil tiaras]

112. rah-fill*

*the pronunciation of the internet expression "ROFL" in my southern accent.

:rofl: Disney sing along....:spray:

[billyskank]

98. I think you should have titled this thread

Bored, borde, board...

:D

[reyd reid reed]

103. You might have something there...

Or I could have meant three different definitions of 'bored'. Like...oh...nothing to do, drilled and...c'mon...gimme one more...

[Oeditpus Rex]

107. 'I bored, we bored, they bored'

Dammit, I wish M*A*S*H scripts were online.

[reyd reid reed]

109. LOLOL!!!

I thought they were? I could've sworn I saw at least some of 'em...

[Oeditpus Rex]

110. Not entire scripts

At least, not that I've found.

Synopses, yeah. But I demand accuracy.

[Bassic]

113. Sorry I can't help you.

But I'm fresh out of motivation myseld these days. Well, motivation for work, anyway.
