When boredom attacks

by Jo Beaufoix on August 26, 2008

Sometimes you get a bit bored.

Sometimes when you’re at your friends house, and they’re busy doing some work while you’re doing some writing, and the kids are playing upstairs and it’s raining outside and it’s quiet, quiet, quiet and you should be enjoying the freedom and the silence… you get a bit bored.

So you’re sitting there, flicking through sites, reading but not really reading. You window shop, you check your emails, you wander through ebay thinking, ‘What can I buy? What can I buy?’

You glance at your friend lost in study, lost in thought.

Then you think, what would she buy? What could she buy?

So your friend, when she next checks her ‘ebay watched items’, well she finds these…

1. A nice book about how to play darts.

2. A cool and trendy party album.

3. Fabulous knitting patterns for Aran jumpers for all the family.

4. An attractive Mullet Wig

5. A blow up sheep.

Sighhhhh, my your friend is so lucky.

I wish I had friends good enough to help me make sure I don’t lose the opportunity to bid on the wonders of the blow-up sheep. Wait a minute…is that a sex doll for farmers? It doesn’t have an open, gaping mouth?

9 sandy 08.27.08 at 6:36 am

well my Christmas list is complete.!!

10 Irene 08.27.08 at 7:41 am

You were really desperate, weren’t you, Jo?

11 Daryl 08.27.08 at 7:46 am

i want one of those mullet wigs .. do they also sell paste on stubble beards? cool.

12 Adventure Mother 08.27.08 at 11:59 am

Definately “Agadoo” for me!

13 Dan 08.27.08 at 12:03 pm

You should have bid on them too.

14 Susanasherself 08.27.08 at 1:59 pm

Hahahahaha. That ARAn sweater family is hilarious.

15 Jo Beaufoix 08.27.08 at 2:42 pm

Belle, oh it made me giggle. Sighhh.

Lori, it was fun. :D

Writer Dad, ebay has everything. I bet you’d look fabulous in a mullet.

Sybil, I think you’re father-in-law will look even more sophisticated than he already does. Cough.

Holl, a sheep in a mullet would be fab. I bet you could trim their wool that way. Farmer’s should think about such things.

Akela, naughty is good, hee hee.

Rosie, I wasn’t bored with you hon, just kind of restless and annoyed with myself that I couldn’t settle to anything when I had the ideal opportunity to do stuff. So I erm, filled my time, hee hee.

Deb on the Rocks, it could be, though it states it is for use on hen and stag nights. Niiiice.

Sandy, I hope Santa brings you everything, hee hee.

Irene, how could you tell. ;D

Daryl, I bet you can buy the stubble beards too. They had all kind of facial hair. :D

Hi Adventure Mother. I loved Agadoo when I was little. My mum and dad had the ‘Party Party Album. My sister and I nearly knocked each other out dong ‘The Bump. :D

Dan, how do you know I didn’t?? ;)

Susan, aren’t they? Hee hee.

16 Writer Dad 08.27.08 at 2:53 pm

How do you know I don’t already look fabulous in a mullet?

Priceless baby…priceless! Remind me not to give you any access to my accounts.
