To Veg, or not to Veg? That is the question

It's Easter break now for all three of us and has been since Friday last week. To the kids of this family, if we are not going anywhere, this means TV. All day. Every day. Unless we have to clean the house or are taken to my Mom's shop. A typical holiday is A-M vegging out in front of the TV. Katherine vegging out int front of the TV, then deciding she could do something better for 30 minutes, then decides that her first decision was better, for about 20 minutes etc. etc.

Me, I go from TV, to computer, to room. And occasionally I go visit the bathroom or the kitchen. When I decide that I'm not very satisfied with my day, which is about 11:30am, I enter the kitchen, hoping that my brain will turn into a super recipe book and I will turn into a super chef. Then after about 10 minutes of looking on the internet or in a recipe book, I just end up making beans and eggs on toast...

So today I've tried to make my day a little more successful. Today, I came home from a sleepover and did my usual routine. BUT, at about 1pm, wait for it, I made a LIST. I'm usually a list person anyway, I get it from my Dad. And I know I have a lot to do, but, I have been sucked into the holiday boredom and can only bring myself to play Hannah and the Pirate Caves, then occassioanlly twiddle on the piano and annoy the zombie people in the other room. I have found myself yelling the most absurd, random things today like, 'Quick! How do I get over the monkey?' and 'There's a swimming skull trying to eat me!!' I mean, I know that getting to level 12 of a game isn't going to help me right an essay on the Midnight Sun, I KNOW that. And yet I play.

It was Katherine's birthday yesterday and all I had got her was a couple pairs of cute underpants. So the day before, A-M and I thought of a plan. I just downloaded this multisound track recorder thing so her and I got together and wrote her a song. Well, not exactly wrote a song, more like cut up a bunch, stuck them together and changed the words. We recorded it 15 times before she was happy with it. I'm serious. Anyway, Katherine was sitting behind me, and since it was her birthday yesterday she got buckets load of chocolate and she said 'I feel so fat.' I turned to look at her and she threw me a couple of those little celebrations. After I ate them, I walked over to the table and stuck my hand in the bucket. She said 'No!'
'Why? I thought you were feeling fat, I'm doing you a favour.'
'I'm saving them for later' ??

Anyway, I had a bunch of stuff I was going to write but it kind of dissolved in my mind. A-M just came in and asked 'Would you like to try some of my "Sweet & Sour"?' Just minutes before I think she was fighting with the blender. She just let me tast some and lemme tell you, she nailed that name. It had grapefruit juice in it. I sort of squidged my face up, like those pictures on war heads, and jerked my head back. I thought I only got all grapefruit juice so I took another swig. Nope, I got all of it. It was very interesting in an interesting way. I couldn't decide wether I like it or not so I kept taking a sip, jerking my head back, then taking another sip. My sister did an imitation of me doing this and I said 'Why are you having a spaz attack?' Then I realized she was doing an imitation of me :-) i just realized that Snow Patrol does a song called 'Open your Eyes,' then one called 'Shut your eyes' Which one should I believe? Oh and by the way, if Ugly Betty plays in America, Oh my gosh!! I thought the bandaged person was FEY!!!! And is Christina gonna do what Willy wants? ahhhhhhhhhh. And if it doesn't I'm sorry I exposed you to my insanity. Happy Easter everybody!
