I am a lazy person.
Oh, sure, I have a thousand excuses reasons. I work two different jobs, I have two young children (2yrs and 4yrs) I have a husband and my husband has a best friend, also male, who is a fixture in our home. I have a very involved mother, two mothers-in-law and two fathers-in-law. I’ve got my share of stuff, but really? I’m just a lazy person.
It has to do with Newton’s first law of motion, which states something to the effect of ”If you plop your lazy ass on the couch after work with a bag of cheese doodles strategically hidden behind you so you can sneak a snack without sharing with the kids, you’re going to stay there all night unless someone or something makes you move.” I get home, I tell myself that it’s OK to be lazy for a little while and “get some rest” and then I don’t move for the rest of the night.
That would be awesome, except I am not rich or famous, my kids aren’t old enough to be self-sufficient, and did I mention that I have a husband and his best friend hanging around? They’re like children but bigger and stinkier.
Luckily, society as a whole in this generation seems to agree with me and have invented things to make it easier for me to be lazy. For example! Robotic vacuums. Microwave dinners. Remote controls. Wireless networks.
I’m not just talking about wireless internet. Don’t get me wrong – wireless internet is the tits. Wireless home networks are even better. I’m talking having one central place to store your media – like photos, music, etc. I’m talking wireless printing. I’m talking transferring files from my phone to my computer and back again. I’m talking wirelessly streaming my Glee albums from any of the five different computers (I know… I KNOW. Don’t judge me!) in my house, more fully subjugating everyone in my family to my will.
All that, and I never have to leave my couch and my cheese-doodle-induced coma. Total nerdgasm.

I can’t wait to get my wireless network fixed up with a printer because I am really tired of my kids emailing me crap to print off because I won’t let them within five feet of my work computer.

We installed a wireless printer this weekend. It was HEAVEN. Less cords/wires AND I can put it in a closet if I want AND it’s wireless and promotes the laziness.

I prefer to think of it as multi-tasking. See, I am getting some well-needed rest, eating, AND surfing the web all at the same time.

I read what you are saying and this is what I hear:
“Julia, it’d be a great if you…#$S@X$#(*(%*(%@.”
It’s a geek to me.

Heh. I’ll have to come visit you and help you set it up ;-)
“wireless internet is the tits” – LMAO!
Now I need to know where you hail from..because I have a couple of friends who use “______ is the tits” ALL of the time since they’ve moved home…and had never heard it used before…haha!
I’m from Boston, but I totally pick that up on Teh Internet!
Another thing we can think wireless internet for?! :)
So, not a location thing then..but now I’m really hoping that my cousin comes home from Boston for Christmas saying that things are the tits…way to get my hopes up!
I can’t get anything to print from my laptop, no matter what I do. So I email it to myself and print it off of my Desktop.
I will tell you though, I was in Dial-up land over Thanksgiving and I’m sorta okay with my minor problem at home, since I have the amazing wi-fi.
