Waffles are kind of like monkeys and toasters: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at 7:39AM I have a what now? A blog? And I’m supposed to write some random stuff on Tuesdays?
Yeah, I guess I can handle that.
You should write some, too, maybe.
This weekend my friend Politika and her kids were in town so she, FoN, and I herded our families out to the local “Pumpkin Hollow” for obligatory autumn fun. At FoN’s urging I brought my camera, and I got tons of great shots of the beautiful fall day, gorgeous blue skies, golden corn, and the collective shining faces of our small fry.
Then I got home and realized there wasn’t a card in the camera. Hadn’t been, all day.
I didn’t even know you could do that.
Hubby’s night shifts have…well, shifted, and he now gets out of bed even earlier than I do, two days a week.
In unrelated news, I’ve decided scientists should really look into creating alarm clocks that only go off directly into someone’s BRAIN. Like dog whistles. But for husbands.
I haven’t heard from my dream job yet. I’m sure they’re waiting until their call carries maximum impact.
I’m not sure how they’ll know I’m about to put rat poison in the coffee maker at my current job, but that would be the time.
This and the Hipstamatic camera app are the only two reasons I want an iPhone.
I am falling behind on my advice-giving. I am falling behind on everything, this week – I was busy pulling together a portfolio for my dream job and dealing with my kid’s birthday party.
Notice I didn’t say ‘planning’ the birthday party. There was very little planning involved. But still, I had to cook a lot of waffles.
Waffles are time-consuming.
You know what ELSE is time-consuming? Random Tuesday Thoughts. Too bad, do it anyway. Then visit some of your random compadres. Comments are the gift that talks back.

grr my husbands alarm goes off at 5:15 am and most of the time i can never fall back asleep - i hate it! I really wish we had different bedrooms and bathrooms! Can I banish him to the basement? Hope you hear soon about your dream job!
You're late. You're forgiven if you give out waffles. With syrup. And banana slices. Some coffee too?
Now I'm hungry. Why do I do this to myself?
Go Dream Job, go! I would advise something less traceable than rat poison. Miralax? Miralax waffles?
Don't the Dream Job hander outers know that we are waiting impatiently for the announcement that you are the Queen of the Dream Job????
I hate to admit, but I do stupid stuff, besides taking bad pictures, with the camera all the time - no card, no battery, no flash, take video instead of stills. Can't win!
Happy Tuesday!
I want that power cord... only to creep out everyone I work with, except that I'd have to get an iPhone first and that means hell would have to freeze over for my husband to go with that.
Did you know that when you hit Tab in your comments box after your name and what not... it hops all the way back up to the Linky tools box, it's annoying but I'll survive.
Happy Tuesday!!
Love the umbilical charger.
You just reminded that I bought blueberry waffles yesterday. Now I know what I'm having for lunch.
Waffles? Now, I'm hungry...and want pancakes. Don't ask me why...
A waffle themed birthday? I feel the need to know more. Sucks about the disk. The dream job is just waiting until they can say they saw enough people to know you're the best.
I have waffles... but no syrup. Or creamy PB and fluff.. So no waffles or fluff and PB on waffles :(
Yes for the alarms.
Yes for the poison.
I too am falling behind.
Yes for consuming time on RTT instead of other things!!
an unplanned birthday party involving lots of waffles sounds good to me!
I worked hard on getting my son to sleep in. This year he's in the 10 am kinder class. It's perfect for us. BUT, my hubby gets up before me and is so jealous he makes no attempt to be quiet. And so I stay in bed out of spite and sometimes pretend to sleep more cuz I know it bothers him. Kind of like the stupid alarm he sets for a WHOLE hour before he actually gets up. WTF?
Like dog whistles but for husbands. OMG. You rock.
How do I get my RTT button to go crooked? Cause that totally fits my personality.
My husband get up at 4 am. If you run across one of those alarm clocks, let me know!
I love waffles!
Genius idea about the internal alarm clocks for husgand's brains only. LOVE IT.
Keep me posted on that brain alarm. I could really use one of those. Waffles are a lot of work, but boy they sure are yummy.
I'm quite familiar with falling behind!
Rat poison in the coffee?? Reminds me of 9-5 with dollie parton and jane fonda- one of the best 80's movies in my opinion. You should do it. then have a sing song. go for it! and after youve done with that rat poison send it my way. I think i will invite my landlord over for some coffee.
Waffles!!!! Yummmm!
I was looking for waffles this morning. We had some...w/a lovely case of freezer burn. Gross!
I hope that you hear back from your dream job soon. :) Hopefully before you go through with the whole rat poison thing.
Amen about the alarm clocks! Although these days I am the one getting up early and my bum of a husband gets to sleep in! So I get a vindictive little giggle each morning out of disturbing his sleep!
Thanks for hosting this! I am going to try to participate more often!
umm you haven't put rat poison in the coffee maker yet? wow. you've got some serious self-control.
My husband's alarm used to annoy the heck out of me, but sometime in the past couple of years, I stopped hearing it. I don't know how my brain knows when his radio is going off versus when mine is, but it works out. I've decided not to question it too much. Overthinking might confuse my brain.
where did the week go??Thank goodness for RTT so I can clear some space in my nut for more waffle recipes & alarm clock sounds. Hope things slow down for you - enjoy the rest of the week
OMG! I feel for you about the no card in the camera! What a disappointment! Argh!! What great ideas - rat poison in the coffee, husband dog whistles! Love it!!!
