• So bored I could buy something online

  Before I begin, let me just say, that Lisa is back people!!!  And she's better than ever! 
  Ok, now on to my pointless writing....

  How do you know if you're boring someone in a conversation?   Generally I know because they kind of stop making eye contact.  My husband (the lovely man that he is) just flat out interrupts me and changes the subject.  I, in return, let him down a little more gently and say something along the lines of....  "I don't want to hear about this". 
  Anyway, I was reading an article about how you can tell if someone is bored, but the most interesting part was at the end when they listed the most boring topics people tend to talk about:

  1. A dream. - Okay, I just did this last week with my poor friend Jose.  I went on for about 10 minutes about this dream I had about a former high school classmate of ours.  We're pretty sure she's an Iranian lesbian (which according to the president of Iran, an oxymoron).  So anyway, in the dream she was my college roommate and officially in love with me and I.... oops, here I go again

  2. The recent changes in your child’s nap schedule. - I have no kids, and luckily my sister has never really started talking about this.  If Owen all of a sudden stopped napping during the day, I'm sure she would complain, but I would NEVER want to hear the details - hint hint "Big Sis"

  3. The route you took to get here. - Unfortunately, my husband tends to go on about his commute to work on a daily basis.  Yes, I know it sucks, I used to do it myself.  I'm sympathetic to your plight,  but I still don't want to hear about it.

  4. An excellent meal you once had at a restaurant. - Again, my husband is such a foodie, he has gone into detail about meals he has had (Bistro Bistro ring any bells?)

  5. The latest additions to your wine cellar. - I don't know anyone rich enough to have a wine cellar. 

  6. An account of your last golf game. - Husband - guilty again
  
  7. The plot of a play, or movie—in particular, the funny parts. - Ok, back to me.  I do tend to this sometimes.  But can I just say, FOR THE RECORD, my brother in law used to REQUEST that I recap any Buffy the Vampire episodes he missed back in the day.  I (as you all know) have an excellent memory and could recount the episodes in extraordinary detail, to the point that he knew everything that happened as if he had watched the show.  So there!

  

  (this girl is supposed to look bored, but I think she kind of looks like she's daydreaming)

  
  HAPPY 1 YEAR WEBLOG ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!!!
