 ONE WORD! I need a DO OVER!

Took a shower, washed my hair, had a horrible headache, extremely tired, was going to go to bed before 11:15 for the first time since I don’t remember when!
Brushed my teeth and then
Received a text…"I knew you couldn’t do it!"

At first I thought someone actually knew what time I was crawling into bed?
But how in the world would this person know…???

Then it dawned on me
I knew exactly
what said person was referring to in my late night text…
the very last thing I did before I turned off the lights
  unplugged the computer and headed upstairs

 WAS THE ONE WORD
questionnaire!



and
like a fool
I FINALLY figured out
one word must have meant
one word ANSWER!
PEOPLE
Im working on this very area

so
I
tip toed down the back stairs
snuck into my office
and fired up the old computer
because
I wanted to ask for

A Do over!

Please!
Who is the head of this thing?
Please
give me another chance


I did not understand the rules, I read other peoples answers and no one( at least the ones  I read) wrote just one answer ….so thats why I had no idea whoever named this thing… called it

one word???


To prove I was capable
I just had to do it again
give it another go!

so I changed my answers to one word, but left the old ones
and did this elaborate thing with font colors and sizes and centering....
 task completed I "rose" to the challenge
and was ready to close up shop

And at that very moment before hitting submit
after refreshing the security guards a few hundered times 

so I could finally go back to bed
and believe you me, by this time

I certainly was not feeling refreshed
just the opposite

I hit that thing and
nothing
did you hear me people
nothing!

I was told the page was not responding
everything was frozen
I looked at the hour glass with glazed over eyes
in total disbelief

for what seemed like an eternity
that hour glass wouldnt budge
I tried to
will it
away

Of course I did not have a copy

jeeze I was only planning to add one word!

so instead of writing it somewhere else for safety sake
I just wrote it in the post, I was tired people!

My stubborn self could not admit defeat
"not responding "
yes, that is what it says
you may wonder just what part of
"not resonding "
I did not understand?

 I tried to retrieve and revive it for an hour

"EVERYBODY STAND BACK

GIVE ME THE PADDLES!
SHOCK"

AGAIN,
"stand back...shock"
just like Grays Anatomy!

I kept doing
CPR
(copy paste resuscitation)

admittedly
I was in denial

not able to face facts

 I wouldnt let it go, without a fight
even though I knew it was no longer a post
it was just a vegetable
brain dead
it would never amount to anything!

I did everything I could!
so folks

Fool that I am!
I thought,

So OK, here is the deal
I  left my nice warm bed

to do this stupid thing and now, I lost it!

And
Have nothing to show for my time
As if I should be proud of the fact that this is what I chose to do with my time
instead of getting much needed sleep!

Not!

Some people just never learn

I am now doing this over in word and I am so mad at myself
I could spit!

Of course
some of my answers will have to change!
time took its toll on my one word answers
example,
I am not wearing the same thing…

But I am going to do it, never say die!

My explaination however
is longer than an epic novel
But that is beside the point

I answered all those silly questions in one word
even though Buck said men only needed 3 words, tonight I used one and I have to prove it

my head is pounding and I’m really over tired and I am just fit to be tied
to my bed
over my stupidly and poor choices

I have a knack for wasting time
I ought to be tarred and feathered!
With my own pillow

Oh

Digress

No rest!

Tomorrow

I will be a mess!

And I have no one to blame but myself
So let that be a lesson to me!
Answering these questions seem so …....? words escape me.
I can not even think of a word
I am so …..........?
Can’t think of a word for that one either!

Seriously
My daughter just came downstairs
her room is right above my office,
must have heard me beating my head against the wall and yelling at the hour glass
and I woke her up

she just told me to go to bed

How sad is that!

Its downright
Pathetic!
Simply pathetic!

---------------------------------------
and for what
trivial questions that no one cares about

so here goes nothing!
oh the underlined words will be my one word answers
I left my old answers in, the ones I wrote when I didnt know the rules and
anything else on this page
in red please ignore

just notes to myself

Roe I knew you couldn't answer these questions in one word lol.

D

roe...Wow! That was certainly a struggle. Now we need a poll that is 20 words or less. Ha! Now that is right up my alley. Ha!

peace :) shemelts

Well now that was interesting. Even when you were answering in one word you were explaining in more. You just couldn't do it could you> that's all right, neither could I.

You're hilarious, Roe. Very clever too - T J Max = TJMax - nice save!

Roe for some reason I had to come back and see your one word list. It is even funnier now than before :)
Posted by  bigd49  on 2009-03-06 12:30:22 
  
Not to worry toots!
I had to use dietpepsi and TheBigEasy....some things can't be summed up in one word!
My pets for example...my Pomeranian and my sweetest cat in the world. what do you do with that?
You did great! Fun read!
:)

Ok, last night
what can I say ?
to use suggestions from my daughters SAT prep test vocabulary words
(another story) another post!

buffoon
vacuous
dupe
imbecile
insipid
inane
obtuse

I couldn't sleep when I finally went to bed and I was planning on deleting this total waste of my time as soon as I got up today, I refused to go back downstairs to do it last night, although I considered it!
You see the second time I did it in word, I had used different colors and underlined old and new answers etc, and when I threw them in here, none of that stuff came along for the ride and I was way too tired to change the font and do all that #$%^*
I finally went to bed at such an ungodly hour, I was truly ashamed at the amount of time I wasted, and I wanted to get rid of the evidence!
but
some of my friends were here and you guys seem to get a little chuckle out of this, so
I will just write another post about choices
time management choices and how
I need to make some major time management choices changes!
thanks friends
if you had fun reading this, it wasn't a total waste
although today, I feel like a sleep depreived
zombie!

That was fun to read.

Roe:
You're too funny...
funnyman
Posted by  funnyman57  on 2009-03-06 16:42:43 
  
hahahaha!
This made me laugh.
You are such a character Roe..and you have such
a strong character to go with it.
Thanks for the laugh.
It is good medicine.
Asking expressive Roe to answer with one word, is like
telling me to survive all day on one breath.
Never limit your conversation skills.
Your wordy mind, has made many people love you.
Get some rest now...and do not answer late night
texts.
All love sweet one.
