Here are the top ten favorites…

These aren’t necessarily the best of the bunch, heck a few are drive by or cell phone shots but it must be the tags. And they may be low stats… but they are my top tens. Woo hoo!

Why My Human is Not Productive

Have you ever wondered where all the hours, minutes, seconds-

“Eliza, we understand the concept of time. Mostly. That time space continuum…”

Are you shocked when your day is done but your list is longer than ever? My Humanoid’s interruption is a classic example of how someone’s busy life become busy. Does HT (that’s Humanoid Translators nickname) really need to ponder the time space continuum theory? Is that going to help her write her research essay on dementia?

No! Instead of being a highly-organized, highly-motivated, highly-

“Are you gearing up for a short joke? I can feel it and you my mutated friend can not talk.”

Well, all I was going to say is that you came up short…really. By trying to do everything at once, having your hand in all the cookie jars-

“What kind of cookies?”

Does it matter?

”Yes, it’s very important for me to have details so I can visualize your genius.”

Fine, peanut butter. Happy? Now, no more interruptions. Readers, again she demonstrates not being able to focus on the most important item on her to-do list but is now scrounging in the kitchen, possibly waking cranky humans in an attempt her peanut butter craving.

Do you make lists?

There are many great resources in relation to to-do’s, agendas and the like. In fact, here are a few posts littered about the internet on making practical lists and organizing your life.

Life Hacker’s Doable To-Do List
Dot Connector’s 10 To Do List Tips

Plus, there are some interactive Time Management tools over at Study Guides & Strategies. The to-do list was interesting.

The most important thing you should remember

besides not using my HT as your example is to accomplish something on your list daily.

Not only will you feel the satisfaction of crossing things off your list, but you’ll actually get something done.

Try It!
Write a quick to-do list today (simple, no need for Monk-style here) and accomplish at least one thing on it. Leave a comment here with some of the things you did on your list.
See my challenges aren’t hard.

”Does waking up count? What you don’t like it when I act like you Eliza Leigh? See how annoying it is? Hello? What was I just doing?”

Back from Outer Space… I Will Survive

Eliza Leigh & HT — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:00:42 +0000

“Eliza Leigh, are you singing!!? ”

I Will Survive What do you think the beautiful noise emanating from my mouth is?

“You’re last breath?”

Human, this would probably be a good time to tell you that I found your chocolate stash… and it is now depleted.

“I won’t survive. What do you want? I’m trying to unpack and edit all the pictures from this weekend.”

That’s what I survived. Not only did we manage to emerge unscathed from the parking garage (how many spots did Bebe need to try out, they were all the same size) but I was tempted with gluttony and did not have a coronary. You on the other hand…

“Let’s not talk about food.”

No, let’s. How many buffets did you go to? Is Portland, Maine a mecca for them?

“We went to two buffets. The Great Wall and Pizza Hut.”

I was shocked they still have Pizza Huts.

“I know, but it was Bistro style. A far cry from the Pizza Hut I used to go to as a kid, there was some Reading Rainbow book program and we got buttons and everything. What was it called? Eliza? H e l l o?

Back from Outer Space… oh sorry I was tuning you out. What we talkin about? Right, food. Show some pictures of the food we ate this weekend.

I wish you would hurry up and fix your flash player problems so you can upload the little video clips you took too. Like Greg “I made Bill Cosby Laugh” who showed Bebe how to make frozen Gyoza at Trader Joe’s or How to Make Someone Queasy (that was the funniest/lamest video you made yet).

“Hey that one was your idea!”

Yes, but you taped it.

“I will survive, hey hey.”

Snapped: Barked up a Tree

Eliza Leigh & HT — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:00:54 +0000

All bark and no bite.

One day I was climbing a tree when I looked down at the green sea below and got quite nauseous.

“Eliza, are you writing another Gothic novel?”

Nope, an adventure story.

“I’m taking a break…”

It’s amazing how easily my humanoid gets distracted from cleaning, filling, anything pertaining to productivity.

“I resent that!”

It’s true isn’t it?

“Still, I resent it… and I’m sick.”

While my humanoid sulks and you are just getting back into the groove at work (a. if you work & b. if you had a long weekend) peruse some of our favorite shots found on flickr.

“What Eliza Leigh means by our favorites is others pictures.”

Exactly, now get back to work!

“Have any of you seen The Fifth Element? Imagine Ruby Rod (aka Chris Tucker) yelling “Commercial” when Eliza Leigh says “Get Back to Work”. I thought you might appreciate the audio.”

I take that as a compliment. Now turn off Fern Gully and put on The Fifth Element for me. Or I’ll eat that last of your 1up Mario Brothers candy.

“That’s Blackmail.”

You catch on fast. There’s hope for you yet.

Snapped: Sage Leaves

Eliza Leigh & HT — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:00:19 +0000

Fresh Sage.
So pretty,
tastes divine.

What do you use Sage for?My Humanoid doesn’t use it very often medicinally wise, but likes to rub the leaves and smell it.

Do you have a favorite recipe featuring fresh sage?
Please share.

“What do you like Sage for Eliza Leigh?”

As bedding of course!
