Prepare to be underwhelmed…elmed…elmed…elmed

Haiku Friday

Battling over
computer time.  Work or blogs?
What’s more important?

Tate needed the computer to finish an end of the month report for work last night (Um??  hello…the end of the month was DAYS ago) and I needed to write a haiku. 

I think it’s obvious what’s MORE pressing.  Unfortunately I lost, so this is the lame and rushed haiku I have for today.  Boo.

**cue announcer’s voice, now with bonus echoing!**

Next week..eek..eek…eek!  Our theme…eme…eme…eme!

Hair…air…air…air!

Have fun…un…un…un!

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Christina or myself. REMEMBER…ONLY sign Mr. Linky if you have a HAIKU POST.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.

    Sheesh, where are his priorities? The nerve! Hair theme huh? Unfortunately, I should have lots of ammo on that one. I’m hating my hair right about now.

    Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of blogging time.

    blogs of course! oh, okay the whole work thing does seem to get in the way sometimes…..p.s. i just noticed your book list over there on the left — i don’t know what’s next on your list but nineteen minutes was riveting.

    I’m reading Life of Pi right now…not sure what I think yet. My SIL recommended Nineteen Minutes, looking forward to reading it.

    Clearly blogging is more important. You should tell Tate to get his priorities straight.

    I feel your pain…only all day long since I have to share my computer with Payton during the summer and he is currently obsessed with an online game by Disney. Argh! Back and forth we go, timing each other to see whose turn it is. sigh

    I seriously have no brain for these haikus – and I think that finding a cheapo puter and give it to him for father’s day is easier than fighting over whose stuff is more important LOL

    We have ummm 6 LOL

    Glad you managed to
    ‘eek out’ a brief Haiku and
    post Mr. Linky ;–)

    My ‘best laid plans’ were foiled when Blogger let me down in the ‘wee hours’ while I slept, and didn’t publish my ‘scheduled’ Haiku Friday post at 12:04am. I apologize to anyone who tried to visit before I finally posted it myself a little after 5am. It IS up now however … and I’m back to try to visit as many Haiku posts as I can this morning. Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!
    Hugs and blessings,

    Clearly Tate’s priorities are WAY out of order. Hi, it’s Friday – he should know that!

    Also, 19 Minutes is EXCELLENT. Actually, everything by Jodi Picoult is excellent — I’ve read them all. Multiple times. And 19 Minutes was one of my favorites.

    Tell Tate that you are literally keeping people alive with your humorous, fabulous blogging, and if you stop-thousands of people will DIE.

    Erm, yeah. Try that ;)

    I used to share a ‘puter with my Ma, but my brother saw the struggle and bought me my very own laptop. It’s a craptop (new, but slow…Vista is the devil, I swear!) but it’s all M-I-N-E.

    Have a great weekend Jennifer!

    I think it’s time to send out pleas to laptop companies like you’re doing for a camera. There have been times my husband and I have had to share a computer, and I tell you, it.does.not.work.

    Divorce, anyone?
