All or Nothing

So why is it that life is either so dull you need to breath onto a mirror to prove to yourself you are still alive , or so hectic theres no time to breath anyway?
My dh prefers that my life state is the latter as this gives me less time to interfere in his life - cos he prefers to jog quietly along whilst I tend to ramraid my way through life leaving trails of destruction in my wake.
When we go for a walk my mouth and feet work together in perfect harmony. As he has a birth defect (he was born male) and cannot multi task he can only do one or the other. The result of this is that I am often talking to myself as I power walk my way along the shore. So I double back to chivvy him along, he then starts to repeat his story about whatever bird or amazing snippet of natural history has excited him and because I am out to power walk and expect to be in the process of losing at least half a stone of excess body I am not impressed. A good suggestion would be that we dont walk together, but as we have almost completely opposite approaches to most things in life it might make more sense to just get a divorce!

Had a lovely day yesterday playing in my craftroom all day with Andrea. Oh the feeling of power that overwhelmed me when I realised I was in the company of a crafter marginally less able than myself!! Naturally I allowed this emotion to overwhelm me and enjoyed several hours of being king pin and asked for advice about all sorts of grown up important things like whether to use perga or double sided tape. I was really starting to believe I knew what I was talking about when my dream was shattered - a voice on the end of the phone asked if she could call for coffee.
This caused a situation which could only be described as total panic in my little room as Andrea and I quickly set about trying to look as if we were in control and, much more importantly, had actually produced a piece of work worthy of inspection by our head girl. The chaos was not helped by the fact we were giggling hysterically - caused by nervous excitement (fear) that we were soon to be judged and were sure we would be found lacking in several key areas, the main one being that we hadnt really achieved much at all, unless you count drinking several lattes,slurping bowls of soup, munching cheese scones and eating chunks of cake an achievement!! Anyway Julie and Helen duly arrived, drank coffee,inspected our work,then departed, and really must have given us the jolt we needed as we became very productive after that. I cut up several pieces of paper and Andrea finished 8 giftbags and a Layout!
She had also brought me a lovely present from her husband - a wooden drawer to put in the bottom of my AMM tote to keep it all upright and smart. I am very touched by this kindness as I have never even met her husband, but clearly he understands that I am a woman of the world as he has put it altogether with gold screw/tack thingys (this is a technical term), not just nails or everyday screws. He obviously shares my philosophy in life that a good screw should always be shiny.
