Users Guide To... Slobdom

So, you always wanted to be a slob but wasn't sure how to go about it? Here are some tips to get you well on your way to Slobdom! 1.*Problem* You are sitting on the couch eating something that is in a wrapper, but there isn't a garbage can within arms length. *Solution!* toss the wrapper behind the couch.. remember, outta sight is outta mind and nearly doesn't even exist anymore! Sure, one day, someone is bound to pull the couch out and find it! but they will be too upset to see the moldy, half eaten, bologna sandwiches to get all hung up on the pile of wrappers! 2. *Problem* You haven't changed your sheets since Regan was in office but you just spilled your favorite beverage in your bed while watching TV. *Solution!* Don't sweat thinking that you might have to learn what the knobs on the washer are all about! Quickly remove the sheet! toss it under the bed and grab a towel (there should be one on the floor from the shower that you took last month) put it under you as you grab the top blanket and put it securely underneath you! Waaa laaa! Not wet anymore! and no one is the wiser! 3. *problem* You are at your expensive computer desk doing important stuff (downloading illegal songs) you are drinking and notice there is no cup coaster! *solution!* there are two solutions for this problem and neither one involve getting up! 1. you could use the DVD/CD tray to set your drink on.. OR.. most desks have post-it notes.. use about 40 of them to sit under your drink! The key is to not knock yourself out here! 4. *Problem* Everything you own is in the floor in each room of the house! *Solution* This is more of a mind set rather than a solution but it still works! Bear in mind that we have this thing called gravity and that it was bound to happen one day! If God hadn't intended on a mess in the floor.. he wouldn't have invented gravity! once again.. outta mind.. not a problem anymore! And they said you don't learn something NEW from you kids everyday! pfffft! not true! Anything you wish to add to this Lesson on "HOW TO REACH SLOBDOM"??

5. *Problem* too many dishes to wash after the meals, *Solution!* Set them outside for the bugs to clean off & the rain to rinse. After a few weeks they're ready to use again.

You already sent this to my kids about 5 years ago didn't you? LOL Because I just HAD to look behind the couch and sure enough not only are there wrappers but I found your balogne sandwich. You should see the colors in the mold............ I'm a pretty good housekeeper, but I have a VERY long haired dog and when she starts shedding her winter coat, I've stopped bothering about it. She shed's heavily for about a week and I just let her have at it. Then I gather up all the hair, stick it in a pillowcase, and one day I'm going to have enough hair stuffing to restore some old chairs I have in the basement! LOL

Any flat surface is a good place to toss junk, no matter what room it is. Don't throw away junk mail, let it pile up on a flat surface. Don't put the bills and calenders or anything else IN the desk, let it pile up on top of it until it falls on the floor behind it. Let the trash cans pile up until it starts to fall out onto the floor, leave one dirty plate in the sink everyday....yeah, it's just one plate and you don't want to waste water or soap rinsing or washing it before it gets permanently crusted over. There's more, but I can't be bothered with thinking about it right now. I am too busy sitting on my butt, achieving slobdom!

Why did I walk in and find a sock in the sugar bowl? Where is the lid for the sugar bowl? OMG, why do I live here? I am presuming that he took off his socks and flung them in the air resulting in one of them landing in the sugar bowl (I think...) What’s that smell? HE IS DRYING OUT HIS FOOTBALL BOOTS IN THE OVEN, MY OVEN!!! AND (takes a closer look...) YEP THEY ARE ENGINE PARTS, THERE ARE REAL DIRTY ENGINE PARTS ON THE KITCHEN TABLE, MY KITCHEN TABLE!!! Do I need to mention that we are no longer living together?

Don't have any clean cups or glasses? Don't bother cleaning one, just drink from the carton/bottle or whatever your drink of choice is curretnly residing in. Did you spill something? Don't waste your time cleaning it up, just pretend it never happened and quickly leave the room. Perfect if you have a younger brother or sister: Do you want something but you don't want to get up? Just yell at the top of your lungs until they come to you. Then ask them to get it for you. Younger siblings usually respect you too much to say no.
