Here’s the picture I’d planned to include in the Fathers’ Day Extravaganza Post. Kelly’s first boat ride, here on Lake Austin when she was 8 months old and I a mere 27 years young. (Interesting, as I was 38 when she was born.) 🙂
Oh, but I forgot — I’m really not here today! I’m over at Joy Rebel Brandi Reynold’s in an Interview. Shall we meet there? I’ll bring the cheezi poofs. And beer.
Yep, this Blogging Addiction Survey claims I’m 74% addicted. How ’bout you? Takes about a minute to fill out. [EDIT: After you finish the 14 questions you can ignore the “Okay, Sign me up” and click the “no thanks, take me to my quiz results.”]
To me that survey feels more like entertainment than legitimate concern for a potentially serious and debilitating addiction, but this survey from The Center For Internet Addiction (Net Addiction,) seems like the real deal; it suggests I may “surf the Web a bit too long at times but I have control over my usage.” Yep, sounds like me.
Net Addiction also cites additional quizzes and useful links for Internet addiction recovery and treatment resources.
So? You addicted too?

1. Am I investing the same time and energy in my wok as in my personal life?
2. Are you really getting your man a chinsaw for Fathers’ Day?
3. Your sweet comment got me all coked up.
4. So great to have my comments back, tho I do notice a few spasms getting through.
5. You could always frame my CD and hang it on your panty wall to think of me each time you go for the sugah, Sugah.
6. Those gut-less overalls remind me of my assless hop-waders.
7. Glad you got your cordless phone fried out!
8. Just when I was starting to feel norman again…
9. Last year in Kelly’s class there were some real bullies who kept gagging up on her.
10. I think I’ll hold off on the WordPress 2.8 upgrade a few weeks in case there are any buns to be worked out.
12. I drool over a Canon EOS-30D, eager to upgrade from my current kinky little camera.
13 He was a guy I had a crunch on many many moons ago.
14. Dud, you could totally make that your default Gravatar.
And friends…
15. So glad you finally got my VD.
Here is the entire series thus far, in case you are interested. 🙂
Funny Typos 10… Funny Typos 9… Funny Typos 8… Funny Typos 7… Funny Typos 6… Funny Typos 5… Funny Typos 4… Funny Typos 3… Funny Typos 2… Funny Typos 1…
Lightbulb 1: Grumble. Mumble. Woe is me for still having no place all my own in this perpetual house remodel. Then a brainwave hits and I commandeer one corner of the dining room for my funsterment correspondence haven. Yay!
Then, TWO brainwaves in one day (I had to have a lie-down later,) for better traffic flow, I take a couple leaves out of the dining table. We can always bring those and the extra chairs back when needed.
Btw, our dining room was a bland old bedroom we converted and opened to the kitchen. Jim did all the wood-working, tile etc. himself. You know my creative Jimmy! Yes, he even made the corner cabinet with his own two hands, he fashioned that scallop thing from a cast he made of an old one we bought in Maine.
This print I bought in Bermuda inspired the room’s theme.
And in case you’re wondering – no we don’t have any other pink rooms in our house! No pink decor at all elsewhere, except for Kelly’s room.
Lightbulb 2: I make a note to buy an attractive basket or box to hold supplies for my new treasure corner. Later I spy the perfect box on a book shelf — one I bought full of stationery 15 years ago.
Lightbulb 3: I yearn to upgrade to a better camera such as the Canon below. Imagine Jannie with a decent camera? Wicked!
As I wonder how to justify such a non-necessity, yet another miracle of brainwave seizes me. That gently-used stuff I’ve been meaning to sell on eBay — that’ll give me plenty of guilt-free cash for a new camera, and then some! Maybe enough to buy new sparkles for my kilt.
Lightbulb 4: How I can possibly stretch dinner for 3 into dinner for 5? (Hubby forgot to mention guests were coming.) But by adding more lettuce and croutons to the salad, cooking extra potatoes and slicing the salmon smaller, we have plenty – with some to spare. Plus, the guests brought cake and wine – my kind of guests!
(the gymnast at four. this photo enlarges.)
Lightbulb 5: Kelly informs me 5 minutes before we leave for VBS (Vacation Bible School) that it’s “Jersey Day” and she’s to wear a sports team shirt, which we don’t have. Then it dawns on me that the emblazoned gymnastics tee she got at camp last week could work. After all, gymnastics is an Olympic team sport, right?! She goes for the idea. (Whew, slid that one past her.)
Friends, it appears I already have what I think I need or want. How ’bout you? You lucky that way?
Paris? Nope.
Rome? Nope.
Honolulu? Nope.
Sydney? Nope.
Bermuda? Nope.
But I’m someplace almost as good! I’m over at Blogging Without A Blog — your blogging classrooom on the web, in a little guest-post rap. So y’all hop on over there to feel your little Jannie’s bloggng luv. 😉
And Friends, something else really exciting is happening TODAY — Caitlyn is Getting Married!!! Yes, our own sweet blogging bud, Caity. Go, Caity & Josh!
