As most mothers and wives would know it does get a little chaotic during the day as a SAHM. I am really trying to have my days organized so that Gavin is involved in some fun activities(he's on a waitlist for pre-school :(...bad mommy!)I can still visit with my friends and still do my "work" around the house. (I sometimes feel like a roughened version of Mary Poppins(..."super-what the hell is this-it's smelling pretty moldish!") By the end of the day I am always looking forward to my time. For me it's time on the computer. The family is in bed by 9 am and I quickly make the lunches, pack the backpacks and then I can sit and play on the computer.
One of my favourite games to play is Texas Hold 'Em on PokerStars. It's all play money, but you do learn alot about playing the game of poker.
Last night I felt relieved to have some quiet time. I finished my baking (squares, cookies and banana muffins)and began to have some time to gamble.
There is chatting on these sites but I always ignore the chat unless my friends happen to be playing with me. Last night I sat at a table and began to play. A few hands later I noticed a new player was on the table. The players have listed their online names and city. This person's city was Terrace.
I continued to play. A minute later I looked over at the chat and I was being chatted to.
"*....Terrace BC?"the player asked.
I ignored the chat. I'm not there to chat, I'm there to play.
"*...Terrace BC?" the player asked again.
"Yep!" I responded. Immediately I knew that I shouldn't have put in the exclamation mark. (on a sidenote: I had just watched a Seinfeld episode about Elaine's use of exclamation marks so this was fresh on the brain!)The exclamation mark was an indication of some sort of happiness in my Yep! If I would have just replied...yep...it wouldn't have sounded so eager!!
"Wow. Where do you live? I live on the southside?" this person asked.
Yeah right...as if I'm going to tell someone where I live...so I ignored the person.
"Playing shy?" this person asked. Then I realized this person was not all there. I was using my husband's sign in name and pic because I had ran out of chips (a reason why I would never use real money!!!) His pic is a pic of...Darth Vader!!!
So then I really start to ignore the chat. I look over and this guy writes:
"Did you get a chance to get Johnny Depp's autograph?"
"Oh Crap," I thought to myself, "gotta find out if he was here or not."
"Was he really here?" I asked.
"Oh yeah...you know Fred...he got his autograph...him and Orlando Bloom were here fishing!"
"Well I have no idea who Fred is, but that's neat." I replied.
"And Johnny Depp's coming back at Christmas!" he typed.
"He's coming to open the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 at our theater!"he typed.
I typed..."LMFAO!"
Then I laughed so bloody hard Scott came downstairs to see what was up.
"Johnny Depp's coming for the premier of Pirates 3 at our movie theater!" I said while laughing.
Then Scott got the giggles....
It was just one of those moments that was purely entertaining.(I don't seem to sound cynical but I will be shocked if he comes here to open our theater!)
Needless to say I scared off my fellow Terracite! Yah...I know Fred???
That's one of the things I find irritating. When you are playing a game online and have your city and just because you may live in the same city you'll be buddies!! I need to update my profile and just put a fake city name I think...good idea!! I'm gonna do that when I finish here!
Oh here's another thing that irritates me. When young couples male or female tries to give me relationship advice...I always respond with..."oh yeah!"
I was chatting with a young guy a couple of weeks ago when Scott and I were visiting friends. He was trying to give me the secrets of a great marriage and this was the kicker..."sex wasn't everything in a marriage!"
I responded with, "you're obviously not getting any!" and that shut him up.
I respect the young loves of our world, and it is sweet to see, but I think that when us seasoned love birds have literally been around the block for a few years plus, they should just not even bother with their "words of wisdom".
Anyhow my posts these days are chocked full of bitchiness...I do apologize.
Nothing else to bitch...I mean write about! I hope all is well!
Have a great day!
