The fine art of wasting time

By Know-it-All Nikki Leave a Comment

Now I know that when my hubby left for work yesterday he only kissed me goodbye and raspberried my neck in hopes of springing some life into me and flirting me into doing some housework.

But I am onto him!! Let me tell you! I have been wooed by better and bribed in worse ways to get me to do dishes and that never worked so I don’t know who he thinks he is kidding but I can’t be bought. Not by kisses, slobbery gross sounds on my neck, or goosebumps (thinking I will cash in on those on his next night off though)! No sirreee I am not cleaning and he can’t make me.

Instead, I am wasting time AND cleaning. But I have to make it look like my idea.

The internet has made it so easy to waste time and if it weren’t for the fact that this is my only means of income right now, my dear, darling, techno tarded hubby would have thrown it out by now, that and the internet is his key to filling his movie addiction with online movie rentals. Though I am the one who gets him online, goes to the sight for him and even brings up the account, but god forbid I add movies to the list. (Hey, I do add movies but I call it an IT Fee).
So how am I wasting my time? Duh. Surfing and blogging. The only thing is that I am golden until said hubby finds out I am surfing and not looking for paid work (hmmm… maybe that’s why he kissed me before he left yesterday, he assumed I was working since I was online – I wonder how long I can milk this?)

Anyway, I know there are too many irons in my fire, part of me wants to be doing laundry (simply for the human basic need of clothes that don’t stink), knitting (again wasting time reading an article about these awesomly cool friends who knit for charity and bloggin about about it), catching snippets of my soaps. But it’s ok if I miss those cause I can always waste more time later catching up on them by looking like I am working. If I am caught, I will call it – RESEARCH. I am sooo proud of me.
