Who has tons to do and doesn't want to do a damn thing?

[tigereye]

(for work or just general slothfulness/Oblomovness)

That would be me -I need to clean the house, and clear off the table, and go to the bank, do a little more paying work and get chocolate. But do I? No. I just sit here!


:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

1. What about the chocolate?

How can you not get chocolate? ;)

[tigereye]

4. this is true! My husband whines when there isn't any in the house, or my

son eats it all. (teen will eat anything not nailed down)


Hey how are you guys? :hi: :pals:

[Call Me Wesley]

8. We're doing fine.

Hope you too! :hug:

[tigereye]

9. yeah, I'm trying not to think about how much I have to do for tomorrow!

:D

[HopeHoops]

2. Me - I just want to be a lazy lard-ass today.

Is it 5:00 yet?

[Call Me Wesley]

3. It's 6:52 p. m. over here.

Hope this helps.

[HopeHoops]

6. I have a theory - it is always after 5:00 somewhere!

:beer:

[tigereye]

14. lard-ass is good

but Oblomov is good to improve your literary-awareness!

[Kali]

5. me!

[tigereye]

10. hey!

:rofl: I'm just sitting here watching Rent videos on Youtube!

[petronius]

7. I would like to apply for membership in your club and/or society

Unless 'drink coffee and read DU' counts as "a damn thing", because I do want to do that... :)

[tigereye]

12. you are most welcome!

You may have to watch rock and roll videos, though, that seems to be what's distracting me most at the moment. :D

[LynzM]

11. Me.

My to-do list has 21 items on it, not including cooking, or the actual hosting of two parties.

My work list, I don't even want to go there.

:banghead:

[tigereye]

27. OMG - 2! You are a brave woman.

I figure I'll do more work on Friday or somethin.

[LynzM]

46. LOL

Re-reading that, it was misleading. I have my daughter's b-day party this coming weekend and our annual Winter Party the one after that... so not two tomorrow! :D

yep, more work Friday. Whee! :bounce:

[tigereye]

47. that's still a good bit to arrange

it's such a busy time. Well, have fun!


I just put the pumpkin cheese cake pie in the oven..

[Midlodemocrat]

13. raises hand.

Gah.

I finished the side dishes, but I need to go to the store and cannot get motivated to do so.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.

[tigereye]

15. I have to go out and look for some chair covers...

and chocolate!


:hi: Have a great one, Midlo!

[tigereye]

16. we went to the store yesterday and you can't move around in the kitchen

due to the "groaning board." Kind of like a Black Adder episode or something, minus the fires and meat roasting on a spit...

[Midlodemocrat]

17. I've got the kids on a hunt for the electric roaster

that I need to lend to a friend. My garage is such a disaster, I should probably just go buy a new one.

I think one more grocery store run will do it. I hope anyway.

[tigereye]

28. new garage or roaster?

:rofl:


We had to clean out our basement when the new furnace went in last month - it was almost like the Augean stables down there. :scared:



What always happens to me is I go crazy and buy more gravy boats and napkins and candles than I need in Bed, Bath and Beyond. I'm such a sucker.

[Mutley]

18. Me!

I need to clean this house pretty badly.

And I am working tonight.

And I am still sitting here posting on DU.

:rofl:

[phasma ex machina]

26. Today's a virtual Friday forshadowing Friday proper.

Ought to be working / instead of posting. Fighting / teh impulse to tweet.

[tigereye]

29. I made my son clean some - he's home from school

:evilgrin: He's probably wishing he was at school since I was really giving him quite a bit to do!

[rebel with a cause]

19. I am pretty bad these days.

I am sitting here thinking how I am getting sicker at my stomach. Realize it is probably because I have not eaten but do not want to eat anything. Don't want to get up and look for something I can force myself to eat. The growling in my stomach is getting louder and still I sit here looking for something to encourage me to want to go on living. (DU general discussions are not doing that these days.)

Self pity is not helping me out much, so I think about stopping myself from doing that. Wish I had some milk chocolate, that would raise my spirits and stop my stomach growling at the same time. Chocolate becomes my focus as I sit here thinking about the work going undone and the hunger that keeps growing. Chocolate......

Maybe I should go start making the pie for tomorrow....Chocolate.........

:dilemma:

[tigereye]

30. chocolate always helps

:hug: Have faith, things tend to improve somehow or other. Avoiding GD seems wise.

[Deep13]

20. right here

:hi:

[SoxFan]

21. My trip to the grocery store destroyed any semblance of motivation

What a C.F. that place was today. It didn't help that every octagenerian driver in southern NH was toodling around the parking lot.

I've got the Louisiana-style stuffing almost finished, but I think I'll put off making the creamed onions until after a good, rainy-day veg session!

[tigereye]

31. ooh- Lousiana-style stuffing

do tell....

[SoxFan]

43. Ersters, cornbread, andooo-wee

And just enough cayenne to annoy all my Boston Irish relatives!

[Capn Sunshine]

22. Isn't that the very definition of posting in the Lounge?

oh yeah, some of you are wastrels , loafers and profligates

[tigereye]

32. that's cuz we work so hard the rest of the time!

I love the word profligate.... :patriot:

[dugaresa]

23. Reporting for lack of duty

I have pies to make, house to clean and more stuff to do and I just wanna veg and drink eggnog

[tigereye]

33. lack of duty!

:rofl: I'm salting away all these great phrases for sloth or what have you...

[Blue Diadem]

24. I'm here and I'm resting at the moment. I'm still not allowed to lift or vac so this is

sucking greatly. x(

Did you say chocolate? yumm

Rest time is up, my little helper will be here and she made me promise not to make the oreo cheesecake until she got home to help.

and no I don't feel like doing a damn thing either.

[tigereye]

34. it's kinda grey out there-well here it is - so that doesn't help

I finally had to venture out to the commons to get some things to make the table look more festive and some covers for the ancient chairs.


Some day we will have nice chairs - probably when I'm 70 or something.

[Blue Diadem]

36. It was grey here today too.

I'm glad you got your chair covers. Having something pretty and festive seems to help to improve the mood. Chocolate does too. :)

I can so relate to your chair situation. Mine are over 30 yrs old now. After being through two boys growing up and a 100lb dog who would climb up and sit in them because he thought he could do whatever the cats did, well you can imagine. They need refinished...maybe someday.

[MrsBrady]

25. my big project due today is turned in

I've already decided I'm not doing another dern thing.

and I really mean it.

[tigereye]

35. yay! for you!

NIce job. :woohoo:


I stayed up late last night finishing a report that had to be done this morning, so I felt like it was cool to just lay around for a good part of the day.

[MrsBrady]

39. Yay on us!

[kentauros]

37. I just finished one major thing: laundry.

I just need to get some clothes together for my drive tomorrow, but the next "big" thing is picking out some of my photos from my trip to NZ for showing the family and loading them on my media player (easier than printing and I can zoom in on photos.) Of course, there are hundreds to sift through...

On top of that, fighting off sleep as I couldn't fall asleep last night and have been awake since 4:45pm yesterday. And that was only a 3-hour nap. So, I'm running on fumes right now...

[tigereye]

48. yeah, I woke up early this am...

it's funny how holidays coupled with a lot of work can do that :crazy:



Did you like New Zealand? It's on my list of places I hope to see some day - esp after all the LOTR films.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

38. Me! Me!

:bounce:

[tigereye]

49. well, hooray!

any good Brit mysteries keeping you from doing stuff? :hi:

[704wipes]

40. yo

[pink-o]

41. Ever since I was a young little girl, I knew I was gonna grow up to be the best slacker ever.

And lo and behold! I've moved heaven and earth to live a life of total procrastination--while ensuring no one around me demanded anything more. I think I've made it to Slacker Nirvana.

Let me share my secrets: You make sure you never are obligated, you never make time-sensitive promises (ie, I promise to love you FOREVER) you live just below the limbo stick of expectations, so that when you actually do follow through and get up of your ass, your friends and family are inordinately proud of you.

Works every time. A C+ on your report card is cause for a party, because it's surrounded by D's and F's. So if you're like me, and just the thought of your daily chores overwhelms you like a climb up Kilimanjaro, just sit at the foot of the mountain in complete inertia and give 'em all a sheepish smile.

[tigereye]

50. nicely said!

:thumbsup:


actually, I'm usually not that much of a slacker - I have a small business, a kid that I have to shlep around, and do a lot of volunteer stuff, too. But holidays do bring out the slacker in me! (plus I was one of those people who had to get an A in high school - but I relaxed quite a bit in college.)

[femmocrat]

42. Me too.

So much to do for tomorrow-- and no energy to tackle it.

I hope those helpful elves show up tonight! :hi:

[tigereye]

51. there you go - elves!

brownies, what have you!


:hi:


I did just put a pie in the oven and the dining room looks more like well, people can sit and eat in there. :hide:

[hippywife]

44. I'm actually doing okay tonight.

Got the turkey soaking in the brine, cranberries are done and cooling, sweet potatoes in the oven now. Not sure if I'm going to get to the bread dough or not, though I probably should. I really just want to curl up on the couch with my book now.

Hope you find your rhythm soon. :hi:

[tigereye]

52. oh, yeah, I did

I did errands, and just baked a cream cheese pie. Plus the house is looking less like a cyclone hit it. :D We do most of our stuff in the morning since we don't eat dinner til 5.


I'm just enjoying working the slacker vibe... :smoke:

[david13]

45. Melancholy. dc

[Spacemom]

53. That would be me

I have so much cooking to do, but it's 35 friggin degrees and I just want to stay here in my fuzzy slippers and surf the net. :D

edited for typo (I haven't had coffee yet)

[tigereye]

55. yeah, I jumped out of bed and washed the kitchen floor before the husband

got up - that way I won't be in the way of his tai chi.

[av8rdave]

54. Me...Been on the road for a week...on my way home as I type

When I get there, I think I want to do nothing for a couple of hours.

[tigereye]

56. hope you have a good one!

:hi: Nothing sounds good!

[av8rdave]

57. I hope you do as well...Happy Thanksgiving!
