Not having Sunday off!

GraceKrispy · 08-22-2010, 04:00 AM

Iʻm not making sweet monkey love to my husband. Perhaps because Iʻm sitting on the couch next to his dad. Oh, and three kids of ours (my husband and mine, not his dadʻs and mine, just to clarify

) are lying on the floor.

Wait, did we have to give reasons, or did I just go a little overboard?

Ooh, I LOVE puzzles! Iʻm not doing one either.

I'm still not doing it. Its 6000 pieces (with every edge piece, other than corners, looking near-identical in colour if not shape) is intimidating. I will do it...but right now, I'm not.

I had a 10,000 piece puzzle once. I used to do it to relax my brain before bed, and when friends visited, we all work on it together. It was a picture of the Twin Towers in NYC (when they still were standing). I had it all finished except for about 1/3 of the sky. There were probably 3000 pieces of sky, and sky is the worst part

We moved, and packed it back into its box. Havenʻt taken it out since, and that was almost 7 years ago

I do not have a hangover .... [despite appearances and feelings]

No-one's allowed to touch my puzzle. Yeah, I'm that kind of person. When The Loved One would go to the box and find an edge piece, I'd take it from his hand and bury it back in the unsorted box. I have to do it all myself.

Cheers,

I used to do jigsaw puzzles faced down ..... but not a 6000 one !!!!!

dreams · 08-22-2010, 04:45 AM

I'm not doing dishes.

My son use to keep a puzzle going on the dinning room table every winter. When he was younger he would turn the puzzle upside down and put it together by finding shapes only. Then, when that became too fast, he started the ones that have all the same shape pieces with landscape pictures.

ok, here is where I admit that I felt rather possessive of my pieces, in fact, I made all my friends work on the sky pieces, because I could care less about that portion of the puzzle. is that wrong? I do bat away my childrenʻs hands if they dare touch my puzzle. I buy them their own.

I prefer these types of puzzles... interesting pictures, but same shape pieces. I dislike puzzles that have bizarre shapes, mostly because they arenʻt orderly and they donʻt stay together unless you have the surrounding pieces in place.

I'm not in my right mind.
I don't know whose mind it is,
but they've been undressing me with it.

My mom always did, and still does, jigsaw puzzles.
I was never allowed to help.
So I don't do them now.
I just sit quietly and have thoughts.
I write them down sometimes.
Because they need to be.
Sometimes I scream.
Because it seems like a good idea at the time.
It usually is.
I talk to myself alot.
I like it because it bothers people.
Sometimes I just stop.
Lose time.
Makes the day go by.

My dad said he had a puzzle once that was all blue. It would be like the whole thing was sky. But at least most sky has varying shades of blue and some clouds if you are lucky
