Techno Overload

This week's prompt of I must confess is 'How many devices do you have and what do you use them for?'  I must admit I kind of cringed  and wasn't sure if I was going to link up. I have a lot of devices. Not as many as my friend's hubby who is into all things computer but still more than your average joe.  I also use them all myself. I don't do sharing well. At all.  Enough rambling and on to the important stuff...the devices.

Kindle Ereader: I love books, but I live in a two bedroom house. My one bookshelf is already filled to the brim with books and dvds.  There's no room for another one. So of course the next logical step was to get a device that could hold up to 3,000 books.  I already have 1,000 books on it, which will probably take me the next 20 years to read but they are small enough to carry around with me.

Iphone: I love that my phone is more than just a phone.  I lost my Iphone and went back to a brick for a total of 3 days.  Longest. Three. Days. Of. My. Life. 

Ipad: Sometimes we just have to keep up with the cool kids.  I love that it does everything my phone does, but has a bigger screen.  I also use it to store books for Devil Spawn on it.  He loves the interactive books that talk back to him when he presses the screen.

Netbook: I got my netbook when my poor old dinosaur laptop was packing it in but I couldn't afford to replace it with a full sized laptop.  I'm not a massive fan of it, hence why it's now packed away in the cupboard.  The screen was too small to view photos and play games, which are my two main reasons for using a laptop in the first place.

Laptop: My laptop was kind of an impulse buy. I went in for a hard drive and came out with a laptop instead.  Yeh, yeh I am the queen of impulse buying.  Thankfully for my big ticket items I don't often experience buyers remorse.  My laptop is where I spend most nights glued to and is the birth place of all of you my blog posts.  I haven't quite got the hang of typing too much on a tablet. 

Ipod Nano: I really need to get rid of it really. It doesn't shuffle, you can't press next and I already have 3 other devices that play music.  I got it when I was walking to Daycare to pick Devil Spawn up, much less thinking goes on when you have music blaring in your ears.
 

Phew, confession time over! Head on over to My Home Truths and check out everyone's posts about their devices. 
 

Lastly, what devices do you have?

I'm Awesome

This weeks prompt for I Must Confess is 'Why I'm Awesome' and I just knew that I couldn't resist a title like that. I am self confessed Queen of Awesomness. I'm awesome just ask me, I'll tell you.  I think people will struggle with this one as it's really hard to say nice things about yourself in an open forum. My suggestion? Don't take it so damn seriously.  It's life, it's not like you get out alive. 

1. I went clubbing in trackpants. With the tag still attached. I'm still not sure what is more awesome, the fact that I went out in them or that I was still allowed in.
 

2. I fail regularly at all of this housewifey shit but I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm no stepford wife.
 

3. I have THE BEST group of friends. Really couldn't ask for better ones. I could ask for more normal but hey where is the fun in that.
 

4. I drink my vodka out of a Wreck It Ralph cup I got from the cinema.  Just for added measure I drink from a straw that is fastened to the side of my cup with a paperclip. An icecream shaped paperclip so that makes it twice as awesome.
 

5. On more than one occasion I have gotten vodka in my eye. This may not seem awesome but when I drink it out of a straw it really is a super human effort on my part.
 

6. I totally perfected cheesey toast that shits all over the stuff you get at sizzlers.  I just never seem to have bread whenever I am craving the shit.
 

7. I won an award for most awkward tweeter on Friday. I can't remember what it was I wrote because I was drunk. Apparently it was awesome though. I am however still waiting for my badge for that shit.  Get to it people.
 

What makes you awesome?  Head on over to My Home Truths to check out everyone else's confessions!

I kinda suck at being a housewife

I'm linking up again this week with Kirsty for 'I must confess'. This weeks prompt is 'What household chores do you hate most'. I'm really glad that Kirsty said chores because I think I would struggled to just come up with one. 
 

Washing up: Most of the time it's just Devil Spawn and I so I have to do the cooking AND the cleaning. I would be happy to cook dinner if it meant that I never ever had to wash up again.  Sadly at 3.5, Devil Spawn is a little too young to start washing up.  He loves playing in the sink but I don't think I would have any plates left afterwards!
 

Clothes washing: It really is the chore that seems never ending. There is the putting it on, hanging it out, taking it off the line and then the folding and putting away. It really should be outlawed.  Although if you have my shitty washing machine, then there is an extra step of repositioning the clothes every spin.
 

Cleaning the toilet: I actually didn't mind this up until recently. When it was generally only me using the toilet and because I remain seated for the whole experience I don't piss all over the floor.  Now that Devil Spawn is toilet trained (well as well as any male can be) the toilet is cesspool of piss and skid marks.
 

Mopping: I live in government housing.  In someone's 'wisdom' the house I life in has cream tiles and lino.  I live on a road that leads to the industrial area of town. So that means that there is fuck tonne of trucks going past at all hours of the day. That also means that my nice cream floors are a nice grey most of the time. Even 30 minutes after I mop. 
Ironing: I don't do it. Ever. I have an iron that I was given as a birthday present. Thanks Granny.  I think my Mum has used it more often than I have.  My desire to use it is so low that I don't even have an ironing board lest it be easier to use.
 

Taking the bin out: I always forget (writing this post at 11pm actually reminded me) so have to do a mad dash at ridiculous o'clock to make sure it's on the gutter reading to be emptied.  It always stinks. I usually do the mad dash while holding my breath. Did I also mention that I am scared of the dark.
