Tumbled Words

I am a MAC user and if had disposable income could become fanatical about it. . . not that any Apple products I bought would be disposable! Well — maybe some of the “new” ones in the imaginations of contestants using photo editing software might be over the top, but then maybe not.

Reading Mr. Modem on 55-alive.com, I found link to a contest for altered photos at Worth 1000.com Not just any photos, of course, but representative of “new” Apple products. Some are extremely clever, all made me smile, whether toilets or eye charts or human.

Excess:

Too much climbing up and down stairs at RV show, too many chemicals making their presence known (although not near as many as last show, these RV’s must have been left open more)

Too many plans and schemes flitting around my head to keep track of any of them (but I sure had fun coming up with them)

Too much relaxing with friends (oh, but who can resist a charming toddler and good food - that THEY brought)

Too much reorganizing and cleaning getting ready for them (sure looked good afterward)

Too many compliments received by family members in one weekend (yeah, like there could ever be too many when they were sincere and they were)

Too many obstacles still in place for greatest of scheme.

Too many laughs at my own craziness!

A great weekend.

Why is it when you are supposed to be doing something else that NEEDS to be done you decide to learn to use HTML and BB codes for blogs instead?

Could it be simply that you tried to do a simple thing quickly, you know, like make a list with 1. and a. b. c. and so on, thinking that the computer would just know how to do it on its own? It does other miracles on a daily basis, like still work after heavy old fashioned bifold doors fell on it last year, so why should it make you type code — knowing you couldn’t see it go undone even though you excel at procrastination?

Could it be that you just didn’t want to do whatever it was that you have now forgotten to do?

Or could it simply be this: the universe laughing at you because you had the chance to take an online course in HTML and even bought the book, but found other things to do and then, years later, when you started blogging, you looked for your book, couldn’t find it, assumed it was packed away, gave up looking, and then found it, in the very room you had ‘searched so well‘ and THEN,forgetting you found the book, you simply muddled your way and experimented with the code for longer than you will admit only to succeed in making the list, but have two naggling errors you couldn’t fix!??! So, now you didn’t get the first thing done and that could prove embarrassing this weekend and now the errors are posted on your other blog for someone to see.

And did you like the way I changed all the I and me to YOU? Made me feel better, at least for the moment. And the frustrating part of it, I love learning and I want to figure it out if it takes all weekend, but I have other commitments. . . so I will just have to suffer with both things half done — for now.
