Stella: I think we need to arrange an intervention for our father, aka The Computer Man (me & the Man Child came up with this name for him, although I'm not sure why we didn't think of something more creative...) He has seriously not left the computer chair for the past 2 days. As we speak I am sitting on the floor with my laptop because he does not leave the computer's side. It is as if they have become fused together into one person. One gigantic being. The Computer Man. The scary thing is that we are all unsure of what he is doing on there. Like Big T, he's got himself some big ideas on advertisting for his new company and we aren't allowed to say anything negative to him for fear of disturbing the peace. So there he sits... day and night... night and day. The computer does not allow him to go more than 5 feet from it so it is convenient that both a toilet and kitchen are within this range. However, its powers pull him back after being gone for more than 2 minutes... Yesterday he only emerged a few times. I'm not even sure if he made it into the bed to sleep.
Loki: He was working on a marketing email. He sent it to me to see what I thought. He had some missed spelled words in there... but all in all it looked good. He is very excited. Now mom can feel my pain. All I hear about now days... is travel or lights. I called the house to talk to you or mom and he answered. We chatted...about his business trip and his new marketing ploy. He told me I needed to go on a trip. Umm I dont have a job dad... doubt I could afford to go on vacation. Hello!
Sigh. Be thankful that Big T already had his own thing going, otherwise they would be joined at the hip. Although I think in the back of his mind he is waiting for some free time to join dad. Oh please help me. I nominate both of them for interventions. Big T is never home anymore.
Stella: Why would he send YOU something to correct?!?! I would almost feel insulted but you just said 'missed spelled' instead of 'misspelled' which pretty much makes my point for me. Haha!!!! Oh my. That will seriously be the highlight of my day....
He must know we all think he's crazy around here.. He keeps going outside and in his bedroom to make phone calls. I just hope these are real people he's talking to...
Loki: Bahaha? Isn't it really 'mispelled' anyway? Sorry I was typing with a munchkin on my lap and I am not used to typing on here without the automatic spelling check. He wasn't looking for grammar lessons.. and I am sure he knows how much you hate his ambition. Ambition.... I am currently reading "The Virgin's Lover" and it is all about people having ambition. You know to reach the throne. It makes me wonder what we would be like back in those times. We would be the poor peasants I am sure. However, our father and his ambitions might take us to court... where we could be maids in waiting to the Queen. How exciting, eh? I know I know you have no idea what I am talking about... so read up.
Stella: No. I am quite confident that it is 'misspelled.' And you'll be glad to know that it is a commonly misspelled word. Bahaha. If only Uncle Don't Throw the Wrapping Paper at Christmas read our blog... Then we might have a good laugh about you and your poor English skills. Oh no, not "The Virgin's Lover" again?! There is no way this can be a good book. Who even wrote it? Danielle Steel? Is is rated XXX? Did you know our father even passed up GOLFING to stay at home on the computer? Its force is very powerful. We need to INTERVENE! Mother has given up on even speaking of such matters.
Loki: It is written by Phillippa Gregory,and it is part of the series of "The Other Boleyn Girl." It is not XXX rated, and it is rather good. I am just out of new books and so I am re-reading some of my old ones. Speaking of books, I would like to recommend "The Hunger Games" series. It is supposed to be the new "Twilight" although I dont think that it will reach such status. Don't worry it is not another vampire series, but it is sort of futuristic. Bess and TMC liked them as well. You should read them so you can participate in our family discussions of books. Speaking of family discussions, we are having one right now with Batman ... he seems to think that this here blog is "gossipy and childish". I don't know where he comes up with such things. I think maybe he read the OIL blog but is pretending that he doesnt know anything. Oh, he is annoying us both.
Stella: I just don't like being called a gossip. I think if you are talking about your own family then that is not gossip. But who knows. Perhaps telling the world my dad is stuck to the computer is gossip.... He also told us our blog was childish.

Childish Shmildish. Blogs are blogs. A report on what is happening in and around your life. It's quite amusing for us readers. And also fun to read comments from long distance relatives (such as Curls in the last 2 blogs.. I didn't know she was a reader). Wow.. The Computer Man turning down golf.. now this is serious. But perhaps he will make his fortune. I am kind of contemplating reading a book over Christmas break, a real book, not an informational, parenting type book. I was thinking one of the new Francine Rivers books. My friend has read The Hunger Games, but not sure I can get into a series. I still have a good parenting book next to my bed to read. Keep up the blogs and good luck with Computer Man.
ReplyDeletewell, I suppose there are worse things he could be spending his time doing. :o/ I just read two Francine Rivers books, Her Daughters Dream and Her Daughters Hope. The first one was wonderful!!! The second was..good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I couldn't believe Computer Man gave up golf! And on a beautiful day, so Mr Mechanic went by himself. If you can't be true to yourself in a blog why blog? We all love to get inside the minds of others so we can feel better about ourselves, or laugh or sympathize. It's a good thing. Especially if it keeps you connected to your family members. It's fun to read Smalltown and Curls comments from afar. Since I'm not a worrier I would be no help with Computer man..and would just encourage him to book another trip for us. Maybe, no I am spoiled. I couldn't have married the Computer Man..we're too much alike. Except I would never look into a business. He has come a long way since he got married, that's all I have to say. And I really need to begin reading a good, non-vampire book. Anything to get my mind off the former. I'm thinking Francie Rivers? Yes?
ReplyDeleteI read the new Francine Rivers books tooo!! Oh so Good!! I love EVERYTHING by her. I honestly read Redeeming Love at least once a year. Haha! Isn't Virgin's Lover an oxymoron?? How can you be a VIRGIN and a LOVER?? That's like being a nun and a streetwalker. Anywayzzz,,Hi SmallTown!! I should change my alias to Podunk. JK. I like Curls...It's fitting. I've always been a Sister Banter follower but have only recently started blessing everyone with my opinion. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteIt has been somewhat kind of nuts how Mr.Computer has thrown himself into this new venture. World Venture travel, that is. I tend to just try and not worry that he will spend all my life savings on trying to make more money. He hasn't done this before, so it is all new to me. I do like to "escape" to a book so I dont worry or fret about such silly things. I did just read the Hunger games and even enjoyed them although there was lots of violence and action. I would like to read the 2 new Francine Rivers. She has always been my favortie author. so.. anyone want to loan them to me??? :)
ReplyDeleteI would just like to add that it has gotten worse. The Computer Man has attached a massage chair to his computer chair. The two are bound to never part again...
ReplyDeleteHey Nana Bess!! Little Darling has them. Then she gives them to Choc Chip, and then there all yours:)))
ReplyDeleteNana, if not, I have them as well....they are real quick reads. I enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteAlso 1) Thorn in My Heart, 2) Fair is the Rose, and 3) Grace in Thine Eyes are EXCELLENT!!! They are by Liz Curtis Higgs. I want to read them again!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever read a single Francine Rivers book. I don't like books about gush & mush.
ReplyDeleteOhhh...These aren't gush and mush...they are mush and gush and soooo much more. I think you'd like 'em Stella.
