I'm going to petition God to add five extra hours to my days. I cannot possibly get everything done in the 16 or 17 waking hours. This is my day, not necessarily in this order, but close.
1. Wake up, usually five or six am.
2. Drink coffee while playing on the computer for one to two hours catching up on two e-mail accounts, checking profiles on Youtube, Facebook, Myspace, Amazon, adding friends, adding music, update status, playing Mafia Wars (don't judge me, I'm a level 171 Master Underboss), checking blog for comments.
3. Get kids to school
4. Eat breakfast
5. Excercise
6. Shower, dress
7. Go to Starbucks
8. Query
9. Blog
10. Write
11. Film a review
12. Edit video, and create review
13. Post review
14. Eat lunch
15. Grocery shop
16. Check computer again for e-mails, Facebook
17. Plan and start dinner
18. Pick up kids from school, while waiting, read another entry to review
19. Continue to cook dinner while helping kids with homework (unless it's math, I don't do math)
20. Eat dinner
21. Hang out with husband on computer (computers play an important role in my life, obviously, maybe too big a role, is there a pill for that?)
22. Watch movie or tv with the family.
23. Collapse
So you see God, would it kill you to give me an extra five hours a day? With all I do, it would be nice to have time to take a bath, or a nap, or sit out in the sun and relax. It's not too much to ask, is it?
I recommend all of you to join me in this. Maybe if we get enough people to petition, God will come through. I mean, really, what would you do with five extra hours a day?
I need the anti-computer serum, too - and a double dose for my daughter. Every time I get fed up and abandon the damn thing, I'm amazed at how much I get done. But for some reason, I can't stay away from it.
ReplyDeleteI know. It's bad. And it's easy to get distracted while sitting in front of it writing or querying. Especially if you keep your Facebook page open 24/7.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the internet off while writing or querying is the new discipline for writers. The problem is that while writing I often find I have to do some kind of research and then the internet comes back on which easily veers into the usual diversions (email, FB, etc).
ReplyDeleteBTW: this blog doesn't suck any worse than any other (certainly no worse than mine). May I suggest that your next post be about beer can chicken, if only because I have no idea what that is.
You bet Steve.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much this mirrors my own life and *routine* (although I have managed to squeeze in a fitness routine with that much regularity yet).

Megan - See, the problem is, God invented 24 hours before computers! Surely, now She would see another six hours are necessary! Amy K.
